A Little Glimpse

written by Parita 21 Comments

As y’all know, I don’t blog about every single detail of every single minute of every single day. And really, that’s for no reason other than the fact that my life is not that interesting. I’d rather pick one particular thing that’s on my mind and elaborate on it.

I do, however, share more of my every day life on Instagram, a photo sharing social media program. If you’re not already signed up, do it now – so fun. And if you’re already an Instagrammer, follow me!! I also regularly share random pictures and videos with my family. Some of these never make it to the blog. Shocking!

With all that being said, I thought it would be fun to show a glimpse of what happens around these parts on a regular basis. Note: Instagram helps make ordinary things look interesting!

This picture is an old one. It’s from when Vishnu was doing his fantasy football stuff. One of his leagues (I think that’s what you call it) video conferenced him in, and when I walked in to say hi to the guys, I was told to leave! How rude!

Our new chair! As I was going through my pictures, I realized I never shared this one on the blog. But yeah, I love this big, comfortable chair…worth every penny!

I called dibs on the chair, so that left Vishnu with the ottoman. Kind of like poor Michael Scott on The Office. Ha! Jusssst kidding!

If you’re on Instagram, you’ve probably seen a bajillion pictures like this one. Something I learned very quickly is that people love sunsets and clouds. I took this one during my flight from Detroit to Fort Lauderdale. And yes, I am one of those people.

This quote, along with a bunch of others, is posted in my cube. Inspiration at it’s finest!

This one y’all will love! That shoe rack is actually a bookshelf that we bought at Ikea. Between the two of us, we have A LOT of shoes, so this is a cool way to keep them organized.

Speaking of shoes, my boss gave me two pairs of almost brand new Christian Louboutin shoes. Just because she can’t wear them anymore. No words.

My cousin sent me this picture the the other day. Some things never change – like my face!

Narrow parking spaces annoy the crap out of me. On this particular day, I had to climb in through the passenger side, and I think I banged my knee in the process. This was something I couldn’t just laugh off. Probably because it happens at least twice a week. Grrr!

My new favorite workout DVD! I’ve only done Levels 1 and 2 (out of 4) and let me tell you – they are killer! I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an effective, quick, at home workout that can be done in your living room.

My reminder to drink more water! And for those of you who are wondering if a simple note works, I am here to tell you that it does. I drink a minimum of 50 ounces of water between 7:00 am to 4:00 pm.

I’ve been meaning to post this soup recipe on the blog but just haven’t gotten around to it. I made it on a day where the temperature was a little lower than we were used to (i.e., Florida has turned us into a couple of wusses).

Kale chips! This was my first time attempting to make these, and I couldn’t believe how great they tasted. Vishnu and I ate them all (two bunches worth) in one sitting. Vitamin overload!

I got a pedicure this past weekend. It was MUCH needed. The minute I sat down to soak my feet, I looked at the lady and apologized for the grossness. She laughed and assured me it was fine, but I know what she was thinking!

For the first time in years, I gave myself a manicure. The whole experience made me realize what I was missing out on – a relaxing activity that helps save money! Win win! When I sent my mom a picture of the finished product, she laughed and said the color looked like S***! Hahahahahaha. She’s a fan of reds and maroons, while I prefer neutral colors on my hands. I don’t care what you think, momma, I’m giving you a manicure and painting your nails THIS color!!

And finally, MY nightcap! Vishnu found this to be too dark for his taste, so it’s all mine!

What’s your favorite social media program?
