Oats n' Bows

welcome to my blog.

Hey girl hey. I'm Michelle, a web marketing student from Texas with a wicked cute boyfriend, a white fluffy cat, and I do freelance social media marketing and design. This blog is a mix of random personals and things that inspire me, such as pretty pictures of food, interior design, fashion, and pretty places. Oh and I crossfit as well :)

Got all of my study abroad forms today :D

Firenze here I come :)

….After mounds of paperwork…

My boyfriend has the best looking cousins, I swear.

Sweaty>Slutty for a crossfit halloween WOD. I was a hipster :P

Halloween Costume Realized

I’m not into the skanky costume thing… So I was just considering doing a fun DIY and make a Lana Del Rey flower headband, or some galactic print leggings and call myself an alien. But I just had a revelation.

Behold…

The sweater is a totally easy DIY. And it’s just current and fun :) AND not skanky.

Favorite meme set ever.

I’m gonna make some homemade protein bars today :)

I’m bored of just bringing almonds to class… and there’s no way I can eat at the union or at a restaurant with my allergies.

Needing some variety to get through my 11 hour class days.

If they come out nice and tasty I’ll post a recipie :) Not like I’m really that kind of blog, but oh well, I’m that kind of person…

Does anyone have any good recipes they can suggest?

I’m actually proud to say that I’ve gained weight…

My weight wasn’t low or anything. I’m 5ft6in, and was 125lbs at my thinest about a year ago. I had some health problems with my thyroid, and leaky gut which made me gain and lose for a while. After getting a lot better, I finally evened out at 130lbs.

After starting crossfit, I’m about 135lbs. But my jeans are loose, my mucsles are starting to pop out, my body fat has seriously dropped, and I can deadlift, and squat twice as much as I could before.

Best part? IT HASN’T EVEN BEEN A MONTH OF CROSSFIT! Amazing!!!

Just got my first Wildfox jumper for $65 at the SAKS outlet…

I still feel like I disgustingly overpaid for it haha. I seriously need to sleep on this..

I really want to be Lana Del Rey for halloween…

And every other day of the year for that matter…

OOTD :)
