Yeay this is gonna be a lighthearted post.

i've been working out almost everyday, eating not horribly, and i haven't been smoking at ALL! in celebration, let's talk about some of my favorite things.

yesterday, i went out to lunch with two of my homies from high school times. we went to one of my favorite comfort food places, penelope in murray hill. of course i had to get the mac and cheese (hey! it comes with a salade), and red velvet cake. i also have this pretty sick secret... sometimes i watch videos of people making mac and cheese on the food network site. watch Ina and tell me that doesn't just make your day.





Also, i have a new favorite t-shirt.. from the gap! it's light, it's flattering, it's amazing. this morning i lamented that i only had one, but i realized that i can go over there and buy a few more. When in doubt, having a few of the same perfect t-shirt can only mean options (or dirty laundry proof).

Lastly, it finally feels like summer, and my skin is surprisingly looking just a little bit golden (a rarity, believe me). i have been pondering some fake tan. i did it once a few years ago, and it actually looked really good. a bunch of people asked where i had gone on vacation. all those videos online of people telling you how to tan make me feel invincible!
