Pink Weds

Some people have asked me what the meaning behind Pink Wednesday is aka Pink Weds so I thought I would share its story!

6 years ago when I started working in offices during college I just felt like I needed something to get me through the week, something to celebrate and mark a special day and just something to look forward to every week. So I started wearing Pink on Wednesdays, every Weds. And I have done it every Weds for the past 6 years! Every office I have worked at I have gotten people to participate and now at school we are getting our students involved. Starting this summer we're going to tell all of the classes about it and get as many people involved as we can. Its just a fun little thing to do.

Weds is really the roughest day of the week. You’re smack dab in the middle with no end in sight, but instead of looking at it as a bad thing, we celebrate Pink Weds. ( Did you know that Weds is actually the top day for suicides? Its a fact! ) Pink is a very uplifting color and brightens things up. And by celebrating it we focus on the fact that the week is almost done and we will make it through! Once you get through Weds its really a free fall into the weekend. It just really seems to cheer people up. And It really does seem to give people a sense of community. Its just a great fun thing to do!

So I encourage you as next Weds approaches, jump in on the Pink Weds love!

I love Jesus & Sephora!!

 I am not a morning person. There are very few things I will get up early for. Friday morning I got up while it was still dark outside. My alarm went off at 6:45 am and let me tell you I have not seen that time for a very very long while! However, something really exciting was happening that morning! Sephora came to Tippecanoe Mall! THATS RIGHT FOLKS SEPHORA!!!!!!!! I love me some Sephora! Yes, it is expensive, but the quality is amazing, and in reality I spend less on Sephora products than trying to find something that works with my wacky skin at the drug store. I have been looking forward to this for weeks. I set my alarm early and ran out the door in a hurry! I got to the mall at 8:02 am. Sephora was opening at 10. I was not the first person there! I was about the 12'th person there and at first we were all smushed into this doorway which was really not comfortable at all. Thankfully the kind people at JcPenney let us inside the store so we could line up outside of Sephor...

Who needs a Knuckle anyway?!

 If you are squeamish and do not like pictures of fingers stitched up, now would be the time to close this post and come back another day!  I put this picture of my struggling get up for my shower first so that no one has to see the stitches if they don't want to. Call me kind :) Also, this get up did not work at keeping my finger dry.  So last night i was opening a box of books, and accidentally opened my knuckle as well. It's funny, it didn't really hurt at the moment. I felt it of course, but it wasn't horrible pain. Blood started gushing and I ran for the bathroom to get some tp on it and bandaids. I do NOT do well with blood and seeing all of it made me a tad bit light headed. I managed to find some gauze and tape and after looking at my finger and noticing that i could see INSIDE my finger and the knuckle skin was WIDE open, I almost passed out. hahahaha.. it was GROSS! I dr'd up my finger and tried to decide if it would heal on it's o...
