killing two birds with one stone
Talk about efficiency!
This AM I decided to kill two birds with one stone and incorporate a bit of morning hygiene with an interview I was assigned to watch for my psychology class about the discovery on DNA.
It was just as riveting as it sounds.
Let’s just say trying to take artsy pictures of my toothbrush under ridiculously awful artificial lighting proved to be more exciting.
I am a loyal crest paste fan. Gels make me gag. (Because I’m sure you were wondering)
Fortunately for me, God’s blessed natural lighting was peeking it’s way in to my room as soon as snack time rolled around.
Cheerios, peanut flour, chia seeds, strawberries.
Milk was poured atop post-photography session for the sake of avoiding soggy cereal-age. I really need an obowl

I had absolutely zero motivation to dress myself this morning, so I tredged out to the mall in the dawning yoga pants, northface, and my favorite coach kicks.
Because I like to convince that I can be both cheap and chic, I refuse to pay full price for name brand items – yet another reason why I love TJmaxx.
p.s. I kept the price tag on these shoes just so I can flaunt to people how thrifty I am. I’m such a cheap snob.
At the mall I was welcomed by store windows adorned with hints of florals and pastels that somehow made their way back to my apartment.
floral denim skirt and lace vest that will be worn together, and separately, and probably way too often.
floral tee with bow tie back and ruffle sleeve details
black lace skirt and cream cardigan for when I’m feeling business woman-y.
Spring is a’coming…I can feel it in my gut! Or maybe that’s just gas.

Are you a fan of multi-tasking or do you prefer to focus all of your attention on one task at a time? When’s the last time you “killed two birds with one stone”?
**sidenote: this blog does not condone the killing of actual birds, just metaphoric ones.

On the agenda for my night: dinner, homework, boob tube, and celebrating getting over the hump day slump. Woo!
I have to multi talk. I find I get bored if I focus on just one thing …. hmm is that the common description of ADD?!?
Are all those clothes from Forever21? If so, my tookus is getting there hmmmm tomorrow
Yes they are! they’re spring line is amazing!!! Go go goooooo.
Yes they are! they’re spring line is amazing!!! Go go goooooo.
Your snack is so freaking cute for some reason! And TJ Maxx is amazing. I want spring to be here soon! Well, actually I’ll be in the midst of summer in one week when I go to Australia. CRAZY!
Eep!! I forgot the trip was so soon! Have you started packing yet??? I’m so jealy!
I’m a natural multitasker–I mean that I always multitask, not that I’m good at it. I wish I could focus on one thing as much as possible because I feel so much more productive.
But hey, yesterday I caught up on my Pretty Little Liars on Hulu and repainted my chipped toenails.
Haha I’m a great example.
your sidenote CRACKS ME UP. counting down until spring. I went to Bloomies yesterday and tried on 234234 things I want but refuse to purchase.
Jenny! I have been following you for some time now and have only just gotten the guts to comment on your posts haha I love when you do “hauls” from tj maxx! puts me in a swell mood. Also I just started following you on twitter (treeslouise. love your blog(and your dishware)! 🙂
Yay! thanks so much for “stopping by” Therese. With my newly acquired TJmaxx gift cards that I got for my birthday I promise there will be plenty more TJ’s hauls in the future 🙂 (including dishware!)
The “fluff” on those Coach kicks is….amazing. I’ve never seen anything like it! I want.
don’t be ashamed of being a cheap snob 😉 it’s always great when you can find super deals!
and OMG i just looked at that Obol bowl..so cool. never heard of it before.
and yes i sure hope spring is comin alonggg 🙂 sick of this snow!
jenna
i love love love your fashion and tj maxx posts!! they always make me smile!! i need a jobby so i can head back therE!! it has been MONTHS
multitasking and killing four birds with one stone is my middle name 🙂
hey i noticed you have a macbook…do you use the regular WP blogging platform or do you use Ecto or something else? I would lovvvve for a way to speed things up but am so far very meh with ecto the few times ive tried it. I figure you have a snazzy fast way of doing things since you’re a multitasker too 🙂
I’m always multitasking…it’s kind bad! LOVE your new purchases. Florals this spring are awesomeee
1. Your fashion sense is the best.
2. I need an Obol now! Too bad my frugalness won’t let me shell out the $$
I always love your finds from my seconds favorite TJ’s (Trader Joes is number one). I have a lot of trouble finding cute shirts, but I always find amazing shoes.
I’ve never heard of an obowl, but now I’m convinced it is a necessity.
Why didn’t I think of the oBol? How cool!
Cute shoes! I love them!
I am a fellow bargainista! It literally pains me to buy anything full-price.
PS The right side of your blog is a lil’ funky, everything is shifted over and covers the post 😦 Just thought I’d let you know
hey Megan – thanks for the 411!! I think my pictures were a little too large and in charge. Is it better now?!
I think we would be friends in real life.
I watched the obol video and it is fantastic! I WANT ONE NOWWW.
Also, I am a huuuge bargain shopper. Marshall’s, T.J. Maxx, and Ross are my saviors. Oh, and thrift stores obviously.
aaand i have the same computer as you (oh, and I’m watching you. look out your window….KIDDING ahahahah that would be super weird
coco – we would most definitely be friends in real life.. then we could ichat together on our macbooks and eat out of obols. It would be fabulous!
You always make the most boring situations fun haha. And looooove those shoes! I wish the closest TJ’s wasn’t 2 hours away
that’s heartbreaking! 😦 do you have a Marshall’s near you? same difference 🙂
I love multitasking, but I have to say that I kind of suck at it and should probably just try to do one thing at once. I get distracted way too easily.
Spring BETTER be right around the corner or the groundhog LIED. I can deal with like 4 more weeks, but then it better be sunny and warm!
I love multitasking. 🙂 Love the shoes as well!
You always have such chic cheap finds.
Bathroom photos are the hardest…and you even took yours with your eyes shut. Talent!
I am a cheap snob to the extreme. I’d laminate those TJ Maxx/Marshalls clearance tags if I could.
Ugh, I generally hate gel toothpaste, too…but If you want a really intense foaming brushing session, try aquafresh iso-active. It’s pretty ridiculously awesome. I wish I could say I was kidding that I’m taking toothpaste this seriously, but I’m so serious right now.
(OH! And re: vital wheat gluten. It’s basically the natural protein found in wheat. I use bob’s red mill, but I’m sure you can find a couple different brands in the flour section of your supermarket 🙂
I was at forever 21 today and it was amazing : ) I bought some good stuff but didnt go to crazy since I see no sun in sight yet! lol!
I hate GEL toothpaste too! Glad to see someone else shares this ; )
Love ya girl! xoxo
I am forever multitasking! Just doesn’t seem normal to focus on only one thing at a time! 😉
Oh my goodness, that’s the first I’ve ever heard of the “Obowl”! Too funny…and waaaaay expensive! They think pretty highly of their creation, don’t they?
