  1. Thursday Thoughts

    April 11, 2013 by Katie

    Hey everyone! It’s THURSDAY! Aka basically my Friday, so I’m a happy camper! Although I plan to spend my entire Friday getting as much school work done as possible… so that’s fun. Not. Anyway, let’s get on to this week’s Thursday Thoughts so I can distract you all for another 5 minutes until the weekend comes!

    1. Did I mention that LAST Thursday I had the pleasure of trying out Taco Joint (the newer one on Ontario for you Chicagoans) with Lindsay and Kelsey? Um it was amazing, and even more amazing since I got to hang out with those two. I may have completely lost my voice by the end of the evening. It was also intuitive eating in full force and I loved every minute (and margarita) of it.

    2. Soooo IT band pain is back, as is hip pain, although now my left hip hurts instead of my right… really??? It’s like they just keep swapping injuries. Thanks legs and hips.

    3. I have a super busy Saturday coming up. I’ve got the …

    Kaixo!

    Yes, we’re back to international greetings… Anyone know where today’s comes from? Anyway, I hope you all had a great Monday! Well, if Mondays could be great?

    So you all know I’m a huge fan of PicMonkey. If you missed them before, here are my previous PicMonkey tutorials:

    Weekly Workouts Demystified

    PicMonkey has come out with a lot of new features, including “spring” overlays as well as something that I’m really excited about: their new light effects!

    I love the effects that PicMonkey has available, many of which I used in my “What’s in My Make Up Bag” post to make the images more fun. Sometimes they’re subtle, and other times not so much, but I love the artsy factor.

    To find the new light effects, once you’ve opened a photo, click on the effects icon and then scroll down a bit until you see them:

    The five new effects are Bokeh, Radiance, Lens Flare, Sunglow and Spotlight. The best thing to do is just play around with them a bit to see what you like and when you might use it.

    Here is an example of me messing around with a couple on a picture…

    Happy Monday! I know you are ALL excited for this Monday (unless you don’t live in the U.S…) because you have either a 2 or 3 day week before the holiday! I’m supposed to have a 3 day week because we technically have school Wednesday, but I always ignore that and take Wednesday off because my teachers always end up canceling class that day anyway. Turns out I have one teacher who insists on having class… hmmm guess I’m missing it! Good thing it’s only 50 min long though, not missing much.

    On Friday I have you all an introduction to how to use Picmonkey, but many of you asked more questions about it, specifically how I make my weekly workout pages. These definitely take a little more creativity and effort, but I think you all can handle it! Let’s just hope I can explain it well…

    We’ll start with this one:

    YAY IT’S FRIDAY I AM SO EXCITED THAT THIS WEEK IS OVER!!!!!!!!!

    Anyone else?!? This was a LOOOOOONG week for me, most of it just stress I put on myself, but nevertheless I am so excited that it’s over. I’ve still got a ton of work to do this weekend, but I’m less anxious. And I have 2 classes between me and my freakishly early flight on Wednesday morning! Well, it was going to be freakishly early but my mom would have still been in bed when my plane landed in KC…

    Anyhoo, I did have one highlight in the middle of my week: A blogger meet-up at Bountiful Eatery! I went here once before with Chelsey and Tina, and then another time with Lindsay!

    The owner offered to host a blogger meet-up, giving us a discount, so of course I said yes! I was so excited when 10 girls RSVP’d yes to the event, it was so nice to see everyone! Haha I was a bit out of it mentally (thinking…
