Blogging challenge day 5: my guilty pleasure

This is a tough one. Most of the things I like are very well known to the world. I'm not one to hide my interests. 

My latest obsession is a game called "quarriers". Our next door neighbors got it, and we have played for hours and hours so far. It is quite easy, and a bit of luck helps you out with the randomness.

It's a dice game and you have spells and wizards and all sorts of monsters and things. Basically it is for the lover of Dungeons and Dragons. But also for anyone who loves a fun game that is never exactly the same twice. 

Go search for it on amazon.

Blogging challenge day 4: earliest childhood memory

I have a really hard time remembering anything from my childhood. All that I remember comes from photos and home videos. It's sad really. I think I need to be hypnotized. 

I do remember that I loved playing barbies. I loved reading "the babysitters club little sister" books. I would sit in my room and listen to Roxette tapes and drawing pictures of fashion. 

If I could remember more, I would be very thankful. But I really don't.

Blogging challenge day 3: meaning behind the name "Gleamogirljoelle"

Gleamogirljoelle is my "business name". How in the world did I come up with that?? Well when I was getting ready to start my YouTube channel, I wanted to come up with a word that describes my personal style. At the time, "emo" was a popular word. And I bought most of my wardrobe from Hot Topic, which was appropriate at the time. But I also had the part of me that is stylish and glamorous. So I combined "glam" and "emo" and came up with the word "gleamo". And the Joelle part, yeah well that's my birth name. 

So there you have it. I hope that was informative.

Blog challenge day 1: Introduction

Hi. Hello there. I'm Joelle. I write blogs. I also film videos on YouTube under the name "Gleamogirljoelle", which is probably how you stumbled across this blog in the first place. I live in Virginia with my fiancé Anna and our miniature poodle Xena. I enjoy reading, playing The Sims 3, and browsing Instagram and Pinterest. I am excited about 2015. I'm getting married, my friend is getting married, and I'm trying to lose that extra belly fat. Thanks to everyone who is reading this blog. 

This is a picture of me after spending an hour in the gym this morning busting my ass trying to lose weight. Follow me on myfitnesspal! 

Okay that's it. Intro complete.

She's making me do it

Apparently I need to get my ass in gear and actually go to the gym. A coworker of mine proposed a "biggest loser" competition for all of our region. So I'm doing it. Christine (though she pisses me off, she's right) is dragging my ass to the gym with her. It's time to get my shit together and get fit for reals. Progress reports to come...

I will begin this challenge on January 1 of 2015, and conclude on January 31 of 2015. Keep in mind that I will continue other blog posts in between. This will provide much needed motivation and ideas for writing. 

So each blog post related to this challenge will read "31 Day Blog Challenge, Day 1: Introduction"...etc, etc, etc.

Look forward to new stuff in 2015! Thanks for all of your support!
