Monday Motivation

I'm normally not one for the whole "Monday Motivation" thing but at work recently, I have been posting a lot of it.  I can't explain why I don't like it, so there must be a little of me that does.  This quote makes me happy.  I think it is TOTALLY true because some of the best projects are a result of taking on a challenge without knowing how it's all going to turn out.  Don't you agree?  What quotes inspire you?  I know for sure that this one makes me feel a little bit stronger if there are thoughts of weakness in my mind.  If there are times when I'm feeling like everyone in my life can't motivate me at one point, I definitely turn to quotes like this.  It is OKAY to think that about everyone in your life at one point, sometimes it just happens.  Looking at quotes like this and bright colors can instantly change your mood and get you thinking better again.  Let me know what you think about when you're feeling down.  Whats your favorite quote?  Send me a tweet or leave a comment below and let me know.  Thanks for reading as always.  -Brit.

M is for Monday.

So everyone seems to hate Monday's but recently I have been loving them.  I think I have touched on this once here before, but the reason why is since I graduated from school, I have been looking for a job.  On the week days, HR managers are more prone to look at applications while on the weekend they obviously aren't.  With that being said, there is a certain amount of gloom that comes with a Monday simply due to the fact that the weekend is so far away.

My manicure for this Monday is Cajun Shrimp by OPI.  I have been using OPI polishes lately because my nails have been feeling brittle and broken, which normally they don't.  As soon as I feel this happening, I always gravitate towards an OPI polish because the hardeners in it work wonders on my nails.  Not only this, but the polish dries extremely quickly and works alongside other measures I am taking to keep my nails growing and healthy.  Not to mention the color is absolutely adorable and I am just craving spring and summer.

My mug for Monday is full of coconut tea, it's absolutely wonderful.  Making it more wonderful?  It's in my #1 Grad mug ;).  I always drink this tea because it makes me think that im on an island somewhere when in reality I am smack dead in the middle of winter.  Well, maybe not too far away, 22 days!

Mangoes are on sale this week at Shoprite and you can bet that I stocked up.  I absolutely love them.  If you don't see a theme here, I love everything thats seen as tropical.  I don't know why but if I was asked, I could probably live in a hut on the beach somewhere.  The mango that I had today was phenomenal.  I don't know when they are supposed to be the best (the most ripe?) but the one I ate today was so fresh, naturally sweet and surprisingly easy to peel.  I normally eat my mangoes like an apple (but I peel them first of course).  Peeling them always annoys me so much though, I can't stand how long it takes, but its always worth it in the end.  The taste is so good and so healthy!  Apparently mango intake lowers cholesterol, can help clear your skin and boost your immune                   system due to antioxidants found inside, yummmm.

My music for Monday is the song "I Love It" by Icona Pop.  This song is my jam lately.  I love to run to it, sing it, share it with my friends and everything.  The song is so catchy and really funny if you listen to the words, check it out.

I hope you liked this "M is for Monday" post!  I thought about just uploading my "Manicure Monday" but I figured why not talk about things that start for M that were a part of my Monday?  Leave a comment or tweet me and let me know you read it!  Thank you for reading.

Xoxo-Brit.
