Resolutions update: April

I can't believe that it is already May. Where does time go? Seriously, next month I turn 30. What the hell is that all about? Here is a quick run down for April.

Reading a book a month: I would like to thank the author of the Twilight series of making me seek out more vampire novels. During the month, I read 4 of the books from the Black Dagger Brotherhood series. These are total vampire sex books. So sleazy, badly written but entertaining enough. However, I think I am done with the whole vampire genre and plan on tackling the Alchemist this month.

Not buying any more make-up: Haven't really bought any make-up lately. I have a bag of empty containers that I want to trade in at MAC. I am planning on splurging next month for my birthday and will be visiting Chanel, Shu Eumura & MAC. I did go a bit overboard with a Lush purchase not too long ago. But... well, I don't have an excuse. Their stuff simply rocks!

Try to be more open with new people and places: this one is still a work in progress. I have been going out more and catching up with people that I lost touch with when I moved to the Central Valley. I am hoping that my new adventure will help with this one. Although I am hoping to get a drink with Lilan from The Daily Cookie soon. Check out her awesome beauty blog.

Take better care of me: I have been doing good with this one. Since I am have been working at the Inner Richmond for the past few weeks, I have been taking Muni to work. I never thought I would say this but public transportation rocks. Anyways, I have been taking my lunch with me since I really don't want to indulge in all the yummy but not so good for you cuisine in the area. Still not drinking soft drinks which is so weird for me since I was a diet coke fiend. I am trying to see how strong my will power is.

Not spending so much on frivolous items: the big purchase in April was my storage ottoman. I got it from Craigslist for $200. It was a great deal and it was exactly what I wanted. But haven't been spending money on coffee or anything that I really don't need. Oh wait a minute... I did buy that sweet Matt & Nat bag which should be here this week. Oh man...here I thought I did pretty good.
