Catch up on all of the week’s posts here! I dug into my cookbooks, and decided to make this delicious Maple Cinnamon Oatmeal. I had forgotten how good a great bowl of porridge could taste! The healthy choices continued this week with my continued attendance at Barre class. Miracle of miracles, the class hasn’t actually killed me yet. I recounted my trip to the 1950’s, aka the Rehoboth Beach Boardwalk in Delaware. The place was riddled with pizza and fries but I enjoyed the sun, sand, and good old fashioned fun! Sometimes I window shop like I can afford fancy

Five Favorite Things – August 2019
Olaplex Hair Perfector No. 3 – I cannot stress enough how much this saved my hair from turning into straw this summer. From going blonder to living my life in the sun, this kept it looking healthy, shiny, and oh-so-chic. My hair would be a goner if it wasn’t for this. MAC LipMix in Red – I CAN NOT GET ENOUGH. This red is everything I want a red to be. I’ve worn it this summer and you can bet everything that this will be my go-to holiday red when the winter season comes around! FitBit Charge HR 2 –
Barre, Part 5
This will be my last post about torturous, strenuous, max-my-muscles-out barre. Don’t worry though, I’ve done myself the horror of adding my name to the Strength and Sculpt class and you KNOW I’ll have something to say about that! This time, the class had a unique twist. My boyfriend came (aww), and it was our anniversary (aww!) and I bet you’re wondering why we exercised instead of drinking champagne and eating truffles (seriously, wtf). Never you worry, we had our celebration on the weekend which meant we had a perfectly good reason to exercise (damn.) Lucky us. He was a
Week in Review #3
Another week has gone by leading to another recap! Here we go: I was definitely into the nails this week, having written two posts regarding nail polish. The latest has me going on about Deborah Lippmann’s “Hot Child in the City.” You can also see “Hot Child in the City” in another attempt at nail art. I was a wee bit embarrassed this week when people actually took a second look at my nails! I love to check out designer pieces even if they are no longer on trend. The Chloe Paraty Handbag is everything I want my fashion lifestyle
Barre Class, Part 4
I would like to go in depth again about how barre is one way to ruin your life and suck the energy out of you but the truth is… I actually really like barre now. I’ve made friends with the girl that somehow manages to exercise in a thong. (Warning, those white yoga pants are tight and people can tell what drawers you have on.) I don’t mind the lady that yells “Yeah, Woo!” in the middle of the most painful squats you will ever experience. And you know what? I don’t side eye that woman who insists on doing
Barre Class, Part 3
Before Barre class, I stressed. I stressed about the fact that I had three huuuuge zits on my face and wondered if I should wear concealer. I stressed that I had a stain on the workout shirt I had available to wear that night. I stressed about these things because it took my mind off the insanity of the upcoming barre class. *shudders* For the record, I didn’t wear concealer. What’s the point in making yourself look better when you’re going to leave the class looking like hell no matter what, amiright? And I figured the stain on my shirt
Let’s Chat!
Let’s sit down and have a chat. I feel like randomly updating everyone on things in my life because why not? It feels appropriate at the moment and we can all sit around and be friends. 🙂 First off, screw coding. I can’t do it and I have no interest in it. Totally went to Etsy and found someone to work with who will hopefully help me turn this website into something special. I have high hopes that it’ll get there in the end! Secondly, I went to my third Barre class, and I will most likely post a little
Week in Review #1
This week was quite exciting for me! I moved to self hosting and officially have my own domain! No more having WordPress in my URL. It’s officially www.kristenexperiments.com. This means that I am now wading through code and trying to fix whatever mistakes I made in the transition, but most importantly I want to make sure that I keep my subscribers and the wonderful friendships I’ve made here! I also successfully completed another Barre class! On top of it, I sorta-kinda almost did well too! Except for the bursts of laughter during the planks… I attempted a Blueberry and Mint Smoothie. Final
Self Portrait #4: I’m Weird
If you are wondering why I’d do a post explaining my weirdness, blame the Eclectic Contrarian. He had the gall to nominate me for a challenge in which I should post something weird. Sure, I could’ve gotten away with posting a goofy meme or YouTube video but I like to go above and beyond (and not follow the rules). Okay, okay, so it’s more I got inspired instead of doing the challenge at all, whatever. Basically, I’m just going to let my freak flag fly. First off, never allow me to look up conspiracy theories, urban legends and DEFINITELY don’t let
Just an FYI
I have decided to attempt to build my own site and can I just say I am not tech savvy? I don’t know how I can be described as a Millennial when my understanding of computers and all things digital stopped at Microsoft Word years ago. However, it is a time for learning as I enter this tech era that’s been going on for awhile. This is mostly to inform you that I am attempting to migrate followers to the new platform.
