Long Month, Short Hair!

Ello friends!

This week/month has been a little cray cray with senior design, workouts, take home tests, homework, housework, and food prep. You'd never guess that I was on Spring Break from school last week!!

I finished my body wellness cleanse on Thursday of last week and I have to say I am VERY pleased with the results :) After the 2 week process the final results were: 7 lbs LOST, better digestion, flatter tummy, and more energy! I consider it 100% success and I'd definitely recommend this product:

GNC Preventive Nutrition® Advanced Complex Body Cleansing

Now that that's over I can finally have my regularly scheduled cheat meal! Yesss... It will be pizza and a Quest bar for desert (or two hehe). If you haven't tried them you must. They are delicious. Warning: Highly nutritious, delicious, and addicting. Learn more about these little pieces of heaven here: Quest Nutrition Num num. I tried the Vanilla Almond Crunch and Cinnamon Roll flavors on Saturday night and OMG holy delicious. My all time favorite though is the Lemon bar. Tastes like desert. No, tastes better!



In other news, my hair is slowly but surely growing out. You may remember these long and luscious locks:

Well, now they're not quite as luscious... but longer than they were! A year ago I cut my hair SHORT:

I liked it, but MAN does it take forever to grow
back out! Choose wisely my friends ;)

I sent my hair to Locks of Love but I definitely missed my hair SO MUCH. I have been growing it back out ever since. Here's how far I am:

Getting there!

I'm sorry for the lack of posts, I was actually typing up this post last week when my computer got a virus and crashed. #FAIL. Thank God that the awesome team at Rite Fix Computers was able to remove it and recover my files. I still don't have it back yet, but hopefully it will be done by the end of the day. I hope ya'll stick around though and can forgive the delayed response!

I'm up on campus now (working on homework) so I better go actually do that ;)
Be blessed this week and don't forget to count your blessings!

Gooood afternoon everyone,

It's.... A great day (Weeedddnesday)!
I started out this week with a little cray cray (read: car wreck :/ ... see below) 

My poor little Neon got a boo-boo
BUT the other driver was at fault so I can get it fixed
with his insurance company's $$. Score!

But now as of today life is good. Why? Because I said so! I am loving this Facebook post by my awesome/fabulous/inspiration/gorgeous/supafit/Bombshell friend Nicole McClain:

"I attribute my success to this – I never gave or took any excuse!

Stop with all the excuses! While you're sitting there thinking of another reason you CAN'T someone busier, more dedicated, in a worse situation than you is showing that it CAN be done! Get out of your head! Stop dreaming about what you want and make it a reality! Enough with all the excuses, self-pity, doubt! Not me or anyone else can give you confidence! You'll be truly amazed at what can be accomplished when you put your mind to it! xo"

"Never put yourself down! If you don't think you're awesome...why should anyone else! Don't worry about what you don't have be thankful about what you do have! We are all blessed and beautiful in our own ways! OWN it!"

Another equally as iwesome/fabulous/inspiration/gorgeous/supafit/Bombshell friend is Andrea Romero. You should DEFINITELY follow her bloggie. Go here to read it: Love♥Fitness. Something she said in her latest post really struck me as profound:

 "There is so much to learn about the value of relationships you make,

maintain and enrich throughout your life."

Love it!


So on to my bloggie :p... Today I wanna share with you something light, fun, and off the regular fitness path. Hair inspiration! I am loving that my hair is growing back out (albeit slowly) and I can't wait to rock long, luscious locks again! I know by the start of the new year I will be close :)

My hair's current length is defintely in "Power Tresses" territory.

I have a thing for the "Fox News" haircut/style/length ... is it just me or does their hair always look gorgeous!?

The "Fox News' look

Mgean Fox always rocks long flowing
locks. I like my hair blonde, but I can appreciate
a good brunette too :)

No hair post would be complete without a
picture of the famous Jennifer Aniston hair!

Beyonce is one girl who can rock a million different hair styles
and look equally as good in all of them.

THIS is what I want my hair to look like.
<3 Jessica Simpson

In like 10 years when my hair finally grows this
long (just kidding) I'll want this hairstyle

Yup. I am Jessica Simpson obsessed today!

Scarlett Johansson has a special place in my
heart because I totally consider her the epitome
of "Blonde Bombshell" Two things I'm
all about ;)

So, I may not be quite where I wanna be with my hair yet. But it could be worse!!

At least my hair doesn't look like this:

Oh Donald, how your hair does what it does continues to
amaze me. I'm befuddled.

Have a great rest of the week ya'll! MAKE it great, because you said so!

Blessings,

Ruthie xoxo
