Decisions

I need new crossfit shoes... And I was waiting to find the Reebok Nano 6.0 at a reduced price... But then both Reebok and Nike decided to change my plans!!!

They bot launched new models... Reebok Nano 7.0 and Nike Metcon 3.

And now I don't know which ones to choose... 

I've read reviews on both... and they are very similar....

Any thoughts?

Tooth Brush

I always, always left my tooth brush on the hotels bathrooms... For me, that was never a problem...
I'd put it on a glass, and leave it there during the day.

But one day somebody said "Can you imagine what the hotel maid can do with your tooth brush while cleaning the room?"
And that was the last day I left it unattended....

Now, I always put it away before leaving the room.... always!!!!!!!

Do you think I'm weird?!?

Eyeliner and me

Photoshop... ops....

His hand is where?!

Shower time

I'm very very lazy when it come to take care of my skin... specially the body.
I forget to hydrate every day... don't have time... don't like to feel sticky.... forget.... excuses, excuses....

After reading a post from Jessica Athayde I've decided to try 2 products from Eucerin. Both to use in the shower.
So I started to use a shower gel and in-shower body lotion, both from their sensitive skin segment!! I like them both but I'm in love with the body lotion!!
The shower gel is very expensive and I don't notice a lot of improvements on its own. But the lotion is worth every euro, in my opinion.
I've tried other in-shower lotions before, but always ended up feeling like it didn't do anything... with this one I leave the shower with smooth skin, that stays hydrated during the day!
If you're interested, all the details on these products can be found on their website.

I really really love the lotion!!! It is expensive, though! I need to find promotions and discounts!! :D

PS - This is my personal evaluation of this products... both bought by me and without any endorsement or support. I'm not a beauty or fashion blogger! :D

Camel vs Grey

I need a winter coat!!!
But i don't know if I should by a Camel or a Grey one....
I really want both..... but it's too much....
Decisions... decisions....

Halloween

Halloween is an imported tradition... It's becoming more and more popular here in Portugal. And now the schools are "celebrating" it, so all the kids are aware of it and want to go "Trick or Treat"!

Last year, the kids from my building went out but most of the people (me included!) weren't prepared!
This year, the parents decided to give was warning! THANK YOU! :)
We had a sign letting us know that kids (and adults) would be out and when!
This way I can be prepared!! :)

Should I decorate the front door?! :D:D

Angels

Every Christmas I sign in for this initiative as my little help to make Christmas better for a child.
This year is no exception...

Can you also do a little bit? If you can, sign in here!!!

I'm in!!!!!!

10k

When I turned 40 I had one objective (well, I had more, but only one regarding running!): to run a 10k competition. And I targeted one in December - S. Silvestre Run in Porto!

But I thought about this objective in December and my birthday wasn't until February!

What happened?
- In January I enlisted my self in very flat 10k race - and I made it!!! Very difficult, after a very heavy training session the day before.... But I made it to the finish line. Only to find out that the race only had 9k and not 10k!! Ok, not my objective.... but almost there!!!
- March had another one.... and I enlisted myself with a bunch of coworkers.... This one had 10k (even more by my Nike+, but ok), and managed to do a little less than on the 9k!! I thanked my friends for encouraging me...otherwise I would've stopped at km 5. :D
- In June I joined a night run... loved it!!! But again, had company that encouraged me all the way. Again, 2 mins less than in March!! ;D
- In October (well, yesterday) I've decided to run 10k in my hometown... My physiotherapist told me not to do it, but I ignored him (I know I'm gonna pay for this) and went. Alone... I pushed through until km 8... then the pain started, but I wouldn't give up at that point... I kept going and I MADE IT! :) In less time (*) than in June!!

So, S. Silvestre is only in December, but I've already accomplished my goal... more than once!!!
I'm so proud of myself!!! :D:D


(*) Don't get excited, my time is still around 1h! :P
 

CTT.... part 2

Oh well... what have I learned from the previous visit to the post office (akak CTT)?
Apparently, NOTHING!!!!

The good thing: the package sent to the USA was returned.... god knows why because I'm sure the address was correct.
The bad thing: I have to go to the CTT to get it back!

As any good place in Portugal, it is only opened during the normal office hours 9 - 18, with lunch break, off course!! This means you'll have to take time from your job to go there!
So I got there at 8:55... and already had 20 people ahead of me....
Waited for 45 mins and only 9 people were called!!!
The office has 5 employees, but only 2 were calling people....
I'd be there at least 1h and 30mins.... it is not acceptable!!!!

The worst service ever!!!!!!!!

Really?

I've been telling this to myself a lot....

Inhale.... Exhale...

This week has been very difficult.... Work wise...
I'm in a project that has no rules, no control... the team isn't motivated and the manager isn't managing, nor motivating nor protecting the team....
And I'm not motivated, I'm frustrated, tired, angry, sad,.... and sometimes feel like I'm 2 steps away from an anxiety attack!
I've never felt like this...

Aiiiiiiiiiii

If I were to get married this year, I'd like to have a dress like this one from Zuhair Murad...
Although I think Kristen Bell was perfect in everything that night!

Kids!!!!

Some days I just feel like a grown up kid!!!
And I LOVE IT!!!!

Details....

Yesterday, in the bathroom of the VIP Lounge in Bilbao, we found a bottle (no other name for it!!) of Eau de Cologne (or Agua de Colonia)....
Honestly, why!?!?

And that's it!!

Soulmate... but with style!!!

A few weeks back I've discovered an Instagram account that amazed me... Love the photos, the style, the aesthetics,... all of it!!
And most of all, I think she is my soulmate... but with style!!!!! I could wear her wardrobe as if it was mine!!!!!

This could be me.... or this  ... or even this ...

I have a girl crush.... it's true!! :D:D

Memory Lane

4 years ago we went to Menorca on vacations.... love it!!!!!
It was August (and I swear, August is horrible - too hot, a lot of people...) but I'd go back in a heartbeat!!!!

PS- Why am I writing in English?! I wish I knew!!!!!

If only....

I could convince myself....
