Happy Birthday to me!

Today I turned 27! When I was in my late teens I thought by 27 I would have a career and a mortgage. I have neither of those things but I couldn't be happier!

I have been extremely spoiled this year! My friend Kirsten spoiled me the other day with all of these goodies! <3 <3

A super cute mustache scarf, journal with positive quotes every few pages and cat book buddies, which are soon to be stuck to everyone's computers at work. :)  

My parents got me a bike!

It's in the shed, too bad it was pouring rain today or I would've took it for a spin! I can't wait for nice weather and riding my bike to work. My mom named her Roxy <3

My dad also took me for breakfast :)

And finally, my amazing boyfriend spoiled the crap out of me! I woke up to this:

My favorite chips, sparkling juice, chocolate, a universal plug for travelling annnddd

A slow cooker! His mom got me a Healthy Slow Cooker cookbook. There was also something inside!!! 

Pulled pork! NOM NOM NOM!

I love love love all of my presents but presents aside, I love that I have such amazing people in my life who took the time to make sure I felt special today, by calling, sending a text or a facebook message. It means a lot to me!
I am so excited for this year and travelling! Being 27 is going to be really cool!!! Thanks to everyone who made me feel great today!

Wild Salmon

Slimming superpowers: The fish's omega-3 fatty acids could help you fight flab more effectively. They alter the expression of certain genes, shifting your body to burn fat rather than store it.

The Oscars!

The 85th Academy Awards!!

First off I want to say Seth Mcfarlane did a GREAT job hosting the Oscars! Very impressed. I will also say that I am going to state MY OPINION of this years winners on MY BLOG. I'm sure many of you will disagree with my opinion but it's mine, so there!

I wasn't overly excited with a lot of the movies nominated this year. Having said that Argo won and Argo should have one! Great movie!!

Ben Afflecks speech was great too! His beard is great too :p

I really think, as much as I think Jennifer Lawrence is great, Jessica Chastain should've won for Zero Dark Thirty.

Hmmmmmm also, Joaquin Pheonix was AMAZING in The Master! I haven't seen Lincoln so I can't comment on Daniel Day Lewis' performance but I think if The Master was a better movie Joaquin could have won.

Of Course Django Unchained, Quentin Tarrantino,  won for best original screenplay! And Christoph Waltz for best supporting actor. He is quickly becoming one of my favorites.

OK, now to the girly stuff! Best and Worst dressed!!

My Best Dressed List!

Jessica Chastain

Amanda Seyfried

Jennifer Lawrence- not a fan of the huge bubble normally but its young and playful!

LOVE the beards! Ben wins though.. Bradley loses

Amy Adams

SOOOOOO beautiful! Charlize Theron is SUCH a babe! My number 1! She looks so fresh

Christolph Waltz- very dapper

Alisha Vikander- Probably my number 2. Such a pretty dress and color! 

Worst Dressed

Anne Hathaway- the boob area looks weird.

Jennifer Aniston- boring

Jennifer Garner- boring

Sandra Bullock- Blah!

Renee Zellweger- just bad

Halle Berry- weird

Selma Hayak- very 90's

I hope you enjoyed it and some of your favorites won!!
