- You spent Monday recovering from the weekend whilst day dreaming about being Amy Schumer’s BFF. I like to think we would spend the day together walking and gossiping along the Esplanade and then she would tell me jokes as I drift into peaceful sleep.
- Then on Tuesday, you woke up and thought it was Thursday: until you got to work, found out it was Tuesday, and became overwhelmed by a feeling of disappointment that you haven’t experienced since finding out that Jen and Ben are no more (I mean, it’s the end of an era).
To be fair, I was feeling a little under the weather on Monday so day dreaming and losing all sense of time is acceptable. So I spent the night on the couch watching Real Housewives of Orange County - Tamra, you are a POET- and reading Mindy Kaling's new book Why Not Me?
I highly recommend this book. It is hilarious and Mindy is such a BABE. She is the perfect example of a woman who is unique and successful with just the right amount of basic woven in there to make her relatable to all of us Triple B's. It is a must read. So take some advice from Nike and Just Do It!
OH! For those of you who asked, this nail polish is OPI Magala Wine (Mmm, Pinot Noir please). It is the perfect color for the beginning of fall, a nice dark burgundy to wrap around that latte. PSA: This was three coats of polish. One is way too light, two will do, but three is as perfect as well-timed Clueless reference.
ANYWHO. Yesterday I woke up and felt 100x better so I decided to take my own advice and not just come home and sit in the apartment after work. I ran some errands and stopped in Second TIme Around in Coolidge Corner to look for some fall booties. Babes- they have some great designer shoes for CHEAP. I do not have too much pride to save a buck or two on cute shoes and neither should you. After a bit more shopping, I took myself out to dinner.
And by take myself out to dinner, I went to Clover in Kendall Square (if you want to find someone to buy me a thirty dollar dinner, by all means, do it) and got a delicious eggplant and egg sandwich and hibiscus ice tea (mostly because it matched my wine nails). Clover is amazing because all the ingredients are super fresh, it is a healthy option, and it is SO fast. Clover knows that Basic Babes love good food but we have places places to go and things to do. RESPECT. Seriously though, go there, it's delicious when you need some quick fuel. OH!

After dinner, I went home and filtered the above picture- what else would a Basic Babe do while digesting her healthy meal? And then, like a good Babe, I went for a nighttime run along the Charles. I know, running is hard and you can't take selfies while you do it (trust me, I have tried) but staying active is so essential for a happy body and mind. FYI- there will be many blog posts in the future about being happy and healthy. Honestly though, who could not want to run into this view?
Until next time Babes,
Xo Whitney
