Temporex Detomaso Adrenaline Junkie*

Temporex Detomaso Adrenaline Junkie*

My fiance has been eyeballing new watches for quite a while now. His old leather watch just completely broke and his arm is feeling a little empty as of recently. He is pretty specific about what he likes/doesn't like, and it has to be pretty rugged because he works in a warehouse all day.

After a bit of hunting I managed to narrow it down to a few styles that I thought he would like, which upon prompting him didn't like ANY I had chosen! So it was back to the drawing board. I was going to give Chris a watch for Christmas - but I settled for his birthday instead (which is why you're seeing this now).

For his birthday I managed to procure a Temporex Detomaso Adrenaline Junkie watch. And it is GLORIOUS. It manages to tick all of the marks while still being attractive AND accurate.

The watch itself is gorgeous with a thick black silicon band with this awesome treading (like a tire) that holds the watch in place on your arm so it doesn't twirl around your wrist all day. Chris's old leather band watch had a tendency to twist around his wrist in the end and the face was too big to wear comfortably when it did that.

The watch face is both pretty to look and easy to read. It has a sporty/sleek design that was comfortable and wasn't bulky on his arm at all. Men's watches have a tendency to get bulky quite fast but this one was the perfect balance and looks so good on his arm. Color-wise it's the perfect blend of black, red, and silver (stainless steel) & all Chris's favorite colors. The case is stainless steel and the glass on top is sapphire coated which helps it resist shocks and bumps from everyday wear. The face is a gorgeous black and red with hands that look like fangs (I think they look that way anyway). It gives it a very sleek and sharp look which both Chris and I appreciate.

Overall, this was an absolutely great gift and he is so satisfied and happy with it so I know it'll be a great watch for him in the years to come. This was the perfect birthday gift and I kinda wish maybe I had held off until Valentine's day - because now I don't know how I'll outdo my own self!

You can buy this watch on Amazon here & the official page for it is here. They have some gorgeous mens watches that are perfectly priced for Valentines/Birthdays!

Fun Questions Tag

The Fun Questions Tag

I'm doing something brand new on Friday so in preparation for Friday's post I've decided to keep today's post pretty simple. It's nothing too deep or heart wrenching just something new that my fiance has been poking and prodding me to do to step out of my comfort zone.

Either way - I was poking around the internet looking for a fun little tag to do and I stumbled upon 'The Fun Questions Tag'. Well if that practically doesn't describe what I was looking for I don't know what would. 

1. When is your birthday?

January 29th! I was born on Super Bowl Sunday. For those of you who don't know what it is: Its when us Americans watch 2 teams of very large men in lots of padding tackle each other for a ball. Yay sports! Do the thing win the points!

2. What are 3 of your favorite colors?

Plum, Maroon, and black. Does black count as a color?

3. What are your 3 favorite quotes?

"I am not afraid; I was born to do this." - Joan of Arc

"No one is going to hand me success. I must go out and get it myself. That's why I'm here. To dominate. To conquer. Both the world, and myself." - Unknown

“I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.” ― Marilyn Monroe

4. Are you addicted to Youtube?

Absolutely. I don't even have cable I just watch youtube and Netflix now.

5. What are 3 of your favorite shows on TV or YouTube or both?

Recently I've been addicted to Ghost Whisperer and Venture Brothers (just finished all seasons) on Netflix. I also love Scooby Doo. As for YouTube I really like to watch Grav3YardGirl, Seananners & DashieXP, and JennaMarbles. Wait, thats 4. Eh... Oh well!

6. What are 3 qualities you like in a best friend?

Uhm... For their name to be Christina, for them to be my FFB, and for them to always be there for me, judge me, and be honest to god truthful with me. (girl you best be reading this, SHOUTOUT!)

7. Do you like your name?

Sure?

8. If you have the choice to pick your own name, what will it be?

Ahhaha! You always have this choice on the internet. I was called Quinn for a very long time online, and sometimes I still am. 

9. What is your fantasy dream?

I would love to be able to travel for the rest of my life and see everything I possibly can.

10. Do you wear makeup?

Oh yes - almost everyday unless I'm giving my face and skin a rest.

I don't know about you - but I'm feelin' 25

I don't know about you - but I'm feelin 25!

Yesterday, the 29th of January in the year 2015 - I turned 25.

(and I will never ever be older than 25, I don't care what year it is or what Facebook says)

And I did it wearing a Hello Kitty onesie and playing a video game.

Not much has changed since I was 15.

This birthday felt different though - much more adult-like? I suppose? I had to work from 9 - 5:30, and Chris didn't get off of work until 7:30pm. I don't know, it was my birthday but didn't feel like it. Probably because I did end up having to work for so long, and I had homework to complete that night.
