Well this sure came as a surprise this morning! Ess from This is Ess nominated me for the "Most versatile blogger" award :) 

How freakin adorable is that!! She definitely made my Friday morning :)

Rules- Thank the person that nominated you with a link back.
- Tell 7 things about yourself.
- Pass this on to 10 newly discovered blogs & let them know that they received the award.

Now for the fun stuff haha :)
7 things about me....

1. I have 6 tattoos (it looks like 4 but 2 of them were added on to by different artists)
2. I have a new love interest... He's asked me to be his girlfriend (yesterday to be exact) This excites me and terrifies me at the same time
3. I'm training for a fitness competition in a few months and I love personal training
4. I'd rather go out with messy hair as long as my make up is done than go without make up

The way I see it Thursday

The way I see it:

Life is too short to not see the best in people

There is no point in frowning or being upset, because someone could be falling in love with your smile

It's better to live a little on the edge, than regret taking risks

Monday's really aren't that bad, any day can be a bad day the name of the day really doesn't change anything

Positive outlook = Positive outcome 

Love is a word we use to often, the more you blurt it out the less is truly means

Friends are great, but great friends are hard to find so don't let them pass you by 

Every moment is an opportunity, blink to fast and you just might miss one 

To all my beautiful bloggers, today is another day make it count :)

Feel free to link up and share your views on life!

Hugs and Kisses from Canada

Pondering.

Good Morning my Beauties :)

Last night was quite interesting for me. My usual routine involves going to the gym right after work, which I did. 

However, I had been approached last week by the assistant general manager....

She asked if I was interested in working there. Flattered of course, I do have a full time job, and other commitments, plus I enjoy my nights in the gym working out. 

I told her I would think about it and get back to her. (She asked if I could maybe just work a few hours each day on the weekend)

Turns out, now I will be working the occasional Saturday at my regular job. This kind of eliminates the possibility to work at the gym as well, so I didn't bother to bring in a resume. 

Next thing I know, I'm sweating my buns off on the treadmill and the GM comes up next to me and starts asking me if I would just be "on call" to help them out.... 

Sounds alright to me! Free membership, free tanning, some extra cash and all I have to do is have my cell phone on! Done deal haha

So there ya have it, I officially work at the gym as well!

Sometimes & Always

Tuesday Mornings! Gotta love em! 

Sometimes; On my way to work I want to eat junk food

Always; I opt for something healthy like egg white on whole grain toast

Sometimes; I get frustrated when I don't see results from working out

Always; I continue to push myself because I know eventually I will see them

Sometimes; I play by the rules 

Always; I break a few along the way, and hope for the best 

Sometimes; I envy people that have lots of money and an "easy lifestyle"

Always; I remind myself it feels much better to work for something than to have it given to you.

Lord knows I'm not perfect, but I try my best day in and out and he appreciates my effort.

I'm honestly more of a Sinner than a Saint. I drink, I smoke, I curse, I break the rules, but at the end of the day I do my best, lend a hand to those in need, and live life to the fullest. So this is just fine by me.

Don't worry, I won't start a "Sinful Saturday's" link up hahah!

Pretty vs. Beautiful

I've been thinking a lot lately. Maybe because I've had some extra time on my hands with my friend being gone.  It crosses my mind that some people are just pretty and other people are truly beautiful.

I used to think all my friends were beautiful people. I was wrong. Some of my friends are beautiful, some are just pretty.What's the difference? Pretty doesn't smile back when you're having a bad day, beauty does. It's skin deep and it's a quality not a physical attribute. You can feel someone's beauty, you can only see someone's pretty. 

This brings me to my biggest point. 

Why are some of the prettiest girls ugly? This really bothers me. Perception is huge, but I am getting so tired of seeing these gorgeous girls walk around like everyone should worship the ground they walk on. No one  is meant to be your peon. Good looking people don't deserve any more than others. Everyone should be equal and that's why I felt like I needed to write this.

I cannot express the amount of disgust I feel when I see gorgeous girls acting like this. It only makes you unattractive and ugly. It makes me gag seeing you put down others, sitting on your high horse expecting people to drop at your feet really isn't attractive. Let it go, move on with your life and be happy! 

The most beautiful people are those that care about others, live life to the fullest and are genuinely positive. 

Take a minute today to comprehend all of this. Are you beautiful? or just another pretty face?

Do you do random acts of kindness, experience good karma, and think positively? Or do you expect people to do things for you, put down others, and only care about yourself? 

Chances are, we are all a little bit of both, but if we could all be just a tad more beautiful, our lives would be enriched forever. 

Happy Monday my Beautiful people!

Friday's Letters & More

As if we didn't know it was Friday..... So thankful today is here!

Not many of you know this yet, but my best friend moved 9 hours away this week. Needless to say, it's been a long hard week. So there may start to be more and more posts, as clearly I am lost without her haha and finding myself bored! 

Dear BFF: I miss you, I love you but I know you need to do this for you, and for that I am very proud of you.

Dear Spin Class: We have a love/hate relationship today. Great workout, but my butt bones hurt soo bad. 

Dear Friday: Glad you're here, but sad I work tomorrow

Dear Clean Diet: I adore you. Best thing I could have ever done for my body

Dear Boys: Why do you all come around at the same time? I'm lonely one week, and all of a sudden you're all playing this chasing game... is there some sort of meeting/group I need to be aware of?

Dear women at the gym: STOP looking at me, STOP trying to copy my workouts. If you want help ASK. I'd rather show you how to do something right with the appropriate weights, than watch you struggle trying to lift what I do. You're not superwoman, relax! (But I of course am superwoman haha)

Dear unemployed people in my city: You should not be without work right now. I work a full time job, own a company and some how managed to get offered 2 jobs this week.... One at a restaurant and one at a gym. Get off your couch! 

Thank you fellow bloggers for following me, I love you all dearly

Journey Forward {10}

Linking up with Chelsea from Life is a Sunset today for her Journey Forward.

Today's journey is about comparing yourself to people... 

Dear Chelsea; Today was especially hard for me to do this Journey Forward. I look forward to Thursday's to see what you come up with and how everyone responds, but today mine's a little backwards.

Ladies, Gentleman, Scholars, and Scoundrels..... 

I don't compare myself to any of you. 

I hate to be that person that says this, but it's the truth. 

I'd be lying if I said I wanted to have lovely blonde hair, or the newest iphone, and I only knew this because I was comparing myself to someone. 

That's just not the case! I do like blonde hair, but the girls that rock it can keep on rocking it! I do think iphone's are cool, but I'm not about to trade in my blackberry because the guy at starbucks has one and it made me want one. 

I like me, the way I am, and with the things I have. I have them because I like them, and I don't really care if other people like what I have. Truth of the matter is.... You just do you, and I'll be over here doin me hahah! 

Keep on rockin in the free world dudes!
