Two Races In Two Days

Posted on April 8, 2013 by Rena Anne

This past weekend I ran two races.

First was the “Run or Dye 5k”. To call this a race is laughable, since we stopped in the middle of the race to lay down and take pictures. Ha!

We were covered in chalk before we even started running.

As you “ran”, there were dye stations that you would run through and they would throw handfuls of chalk on you.

run 2

It was super fun, but I am a little afraid my armpits are now going to be permanently dyed pink.

I ran the Carlsbad 5000, also a 5k, with my friend Irene.

I honestly thought at one point in my race that I was going to pass out, but I was able to finish it in about 33 minutes, which is a time I am super proud of!

Don’t know if I’ll ever do TWO races in one weekend again, but I had a great time and will be taking it easy this week.

Hair-spiration

Posted on April 5, 2013 by Rena Anne

I love change. Not when it comes to people, such as friends moving away, but I am a big fan of moving furniture around, trying new restaurants and changing my hairstyle.

As long as it keeps things fresh and interesting.

I love to take risks with my hair and make statements, therefore I have this itching feeling to chop it or perm it.

Ruh roh.

Here’s what’s been inspiring me lately:

Hair 1

1-5- I love short, choppy bobs, but I think my husband would have a heart attack if I lobbed my hair off. Plus, long is so much easier to style (Can you tell this has been a continual argument in my head for a while now? Blerg.)

6-I love ANYTHING and everything that Rachel McAdams does. She’s so gosh darn pretty. If only my hair were naturally wavier…

hair 2

7 & 8-I love the longer layers of Carrie & Rachel’s do’s. Plus I would be able to pull my hair into a ponytail.

9-I’ve never really thought Jessica Biel was that pretty until I saw this picture (plus, she stole JT, so I don’t know if I can ever forgive her), but I LOVE the ombre color she’s rocking and the beachy, long layers with thick bangs (I’m not ready to give mine up).

10 & 11- I love these medium length cuts, especially #11’s waves.

And “The Carrie Diaries” has me wanting to perm my hair so badly. I mean, who wouldn’t want these Goldilock-can’t-keep-your-fingers-out-of-my-hair curls?! So, so, so pretty.

Bedroom Rollercoasters

Last night I got both of my sons to sleep before 8:15pm. A couple weeks ago, they were easily in bed and asleep by 7:45pm. But since the time change and the fact that we put a bunk bed in their room, it’s been a fight to get them to sleep before 10pm! I swear you’d think we put a rollercoaster in their room. A couple days ago, the boys were watching Sesame Street and Liam said to Simon, “Wanna go play on the bunk bed?” Since when does a bunk bed equate more excitement than television?! Bah!!
