Some of the Best Advice...

For your bleh days...

“Sometimes you just have to put on lip gloss and pretend to be psyched.” 
 

For the days when people think you're a little emotional....

“Some people say, “Never let them see you cry.” I say, if you’re so mad you could just cry, then cry. It terrifies everyone.” 

For those days you get labelled bossy and controlling and really you're getting shit done...

 

"I just love bossy women. I could be around them all day. To me, bossy is a not pejorative term at all. It means somebody's passionate and engaged and ambitious and doesn't mind leading."

 

For when you need to reevaluate your body issues...

“You look like you look, and be comfortable. What are you going to do, be hungry every single day to make other people happy? That’s just dumb."

Nuff Said.

Twinsies!

We all have someone we identify with. For most of the girls my age/generation it's Jess from New Girl or Hannah from Girls. For me, it's Minday Kaling or Mindy Lahiri from The Mindy Project. I've already expressed my love for the show over here. But now it's become something else.

This isn't just someone I identify with. She is someone who I think actually stole my eprsonality, issues and occasional dress sense.

I present my case below.

1. Weight

I am not skinny. I will never be skinny. I have accepted my body weight and shape. I am curvy and you know what some boys like it. Also when I diet, it's to lose weight and make sure my heart is healthy and I don't die and not because I want to be skin and bones. Although I would kill for an inner-thigh gap.

2. Why I'm Going To Hell

Caring about the environment is the worse. I really want to but am super lazy. So I try in my own ways like always using a material shopping bag and recycling when I remember. I want to care but it's so hard. Gossip. I'm not even going to explain why it rocks. It just does!

3.  My Thoughts On Self-Discovery

I'm all about the eating and loving bits. The other stuff just sounds like too much work.

4. My Love Life

Everyone is coupling up and I get dirty texts from weirdos late at night and hang out with gay guys. I am basically the best friend in every romcom and am there for advice (which I am good for) and laughs (which I am super good for. Urggghhhh!

5. THIS IS EXACTLY HOW I FEEL

I'm not saying they *stole* my life but the evidence is pretty self-explantory.

The Mindy Project

If you haven't started watching this show, you may need to reevaluate your life.

My love affair with Mindy Kaling started when she was Kelly on The Office. Then I found out she wrote some of the episodes and became a producer.  She has mad talent.

I also discovered she had this awesome blog. It hasn't been updated in awhile -girlfriend has been busy - but it was one of those great reads where you think only 5 minutes have passed but actually you spent your entire workday ready post after post.

Then I read her book Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me (And other concerns). I read it over a day and I burst out laughing a lot.

Now she has her show the aforementioned Mindy Project. Some people compare it to New Girl. I think it's because her and Jess both have that adorkable silly girl thing going on. I personally think it's way better than NG. While Jess has that quirky, hipster girl vibe, I can relate more to Mindy. Mainly because she says stuff like this:

So if you haven't seen it, what are you waiting for?!

Have a great weekend!
