Weekend Happenings

Happy Tuesday! I hope everyone had an enjoyable weekend.  The weekends always seem too short. *sigh*

With only 3 weeks left until the Disneyland Half Marathon, I really need to step up my training! This past Saturday was my 11 mile run.  Running 11 miles nonstop was like torture. There were times when I felt like my shin was fracturing or my ankle was about to give.  BUT... thankfully I finished! If I want to meet my goal of 2 hours I really need to push myself even harder.  This coming Saturday will be 12 miles... the LONGEST run before the actual race. I gotta keep my eye on the prize.. err.. medal.

In other (more enjoyable) news, I had another wonderful belated birthday celebration.  Yup, that's right... I'm another year older (although when you get to a certain age it seems like all the years seem to blend together). I don't feel any different at all. Sometimes when people ask me how old I am I actually have to stop and think about it. Ha.


I would love to hear about your weekend!

Cheers!

<3 Maggie

    1. Hi Maggie- thanks so much for the sweet comment on my DIY bag! Just wanted to let you know that I have actually been in the process of opening an Etsy! haha..kind of funny because you had posted that about how I should sell my stuff on there! I am planning to "officially" open by Friday! I have a lot of stuff made, and am going to photograph & list everything this week, including the vintage coach painted bag! :)

  6. I definitely recommend Glossybox! They're new in the US, only 4 months, and the products they send each month is always amazing. I enjoy the glossymag filled with trends, and they like to include brands from abroad. We've tried Amore Pacific (korean brand), Kryolan (German cosmetic line), and this month it was Senna.

  14. You're so pretty! I'm always impressed by anyone who runs any type of marathons, since I can't even run more than 1 mile before feeling like I lost a lung. Thank you for stopping by, I'd love for us to follow each other and keep in touch! :)

    Happy belated birthday! I have to admit that I often forget how old I am too but maybe that's just my selective memory. haha!
