My Thursday and Friday

Sleeping in till 8:15 this morning felt wonderful!My body is so used to getting up at 5:40 every morning for the gym that it is impossible to sleep in till 9, but I hate sleeping in too late because I feel like half the day is wasted! 

But any-who..

Here's my last two days at a glance.

Yesterday in the midst of running errands, typing papers and creating power points, I stopped downtown to meet up with a close friend. A few days ago I remember reading this on Facebook:

Eat Sleep Play Beaufort is a legit source because I think it is actually done by the city of Beaufort so I knew that it had to be true.

So I hop out of the car, and the two cars beside me were on empty so I figured everyone got the memo that parking will be free for summer.

Wrong.

Me and the other two cars all had tickets. I was so confused because I thought it was free.

So I call the number on the back of the ticket and explain to her how parking was free and that I read it on Facebook. She put me on hold and  went and pulled the status up on Facebook where I got it. She comes back on the line and was like well I see where they said that but if you look closely it was on April 1st.

And I was like okay what does that have to do with the matter. And she was like it was an Aprils fool joke.

I just wanted to die, how embarrassing.

Long story short she dropped the ticket because she probably felt bad for my blond moment and before she hung up she said "Now don't believe everything you read on Facebook from now on."

I didn't know what to say besides thanking her and wishing her a Happy Easter.

Then I was off to the salon to get my hair highlighted for the first time ever.

I wanted to go a tad lighter but nothing too extreme because..well I was scared. I have a wedding that I am in next weekend and I knew I needed to spruce up the boring light brown color I had, so I bit the bullet and got an appointment.

 

Here's my OOTD yesterday

 

J-Crew top, Banana Republic white denim jean capris

For jewrely I kept it to a minimum with two Stella & Dot bracelets and MK watch

Today is surprisingly cool outside so jeans it was

AE dark skinny jeans, linen top to balance the jeans because hello-it is spring after-all, and old Target flats.

This weekend family is coming in from out of town for Easter and I am so excited to see everyone because it has been a few years since I have seen a few of them!

If I don't post before Sunday, hope everyone has a Happy Easter!

What a week

Oh my goodness, where has this week went? 

For the last two weeks, I have been putting school on the back burner and now I am paying for it and will continue to pay for it for the next two weeks.

I knew I had two major projects, power-point presentations and 5 page papers due that are all major grades but refused to get a head start on it (bad idea!!) 

So that's what I will be doing for two weeks and I will apologize in advance for my lack of blogging! 

This is how I feel:

Completely exhausted.

I do not have to go to school nor work tomorrow so look forward to a more structured and meaningful post. My brain can not handle thinking anymore this evening.

Tonight while I am sleeping I will dump by brain of everything I did today and wake up hopefully feeling refreshed and accomplished from everything I did today

So until then, good night TGIalmostF

Florida via iPhone

 Hello darlings! 

Who knew relaxing could be so exhausting? Maybe it was the car ride home or the fact I got so sunburned? I don't know but I am not complaining because this weekend was so fun and I enjoyed spending quality time with my family!

Here's just a few pictures I snapped with iPhone:

Side note:

Does anyone else only use Instagram only to edit pictures?! That's the only reason I have it. If you were to follow me you would see the most uninteresting and boring pictures because I only use it to edit before I upload pictures onto my blog.

Usually I would say follow me by clicking "here" but really...you wouldn't want to. I am a boring instagramer.

I am going to keep this short and sweet today, I have unpacking to do and just need to get settled in! (We literally just walked in the door and I grabbed my mac and sat on the couch..so much for helping unload!!!!)

Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!

Oh Flordia, How I Need You

Does everyone else feel super busy now that spring break is over and just ready for summer?! 

Well I know that from now until May I will be a busy bee trying to finish projects, papers, and start studying for finals (mine are in less than a month..crazyyy)

But this weekend my family and I are going to Florida for a mini vacation/getaway. My sister, her best friend that is going, and my step dad are planning their Disney days and which parks they are going to and which rides they are dying to go on.

My mom, my grandma and I however are planning which pool we will be laying by (the hotel has over  11!), what day we want to go to the spa and which magazines we need to stock up on before spending our 4 day weekend relaxing.

Here is two outfits I put together for this weekend

That is however if I can get out of my bathing suit that I plan on living in this weekend! I have not got a chance to catch some rays yet so it is much needed to say the least!

Sunshine Award

I Got Sunshine!

 Emily at Emily Ruth was sweet enough to pass on the Sunshine Blog Award to me! Please go check out her blog, it is so fun and she always has the best post! This is my first blog award and I am so excited about it!

I was told to answer these questions and pass it on!

Favorite color?

This is always hard for me to answer because I don't have just one favorite color. It evolves and changes with different seasons, trends, etc. For example over winter eggplant, mustard yellow and emerald were my favorite colors. Now that spring has officially sprung I am loving any shade of coral!

Favorite number?

Jeeze, I find out just how boring and indecisive I am when doing these surveys, but I don't really have a favorite number either buttttt I was born on the 25th day of January and it consequently is the 25th today so maybe 25?

Favorite non-alcoholic drink?

Water. I am constantly drinking it 24/7. I don't leave my house without my water bottle! And if I do...well I am without water but my body feels weird, tired and not on par when I am not keeping my body replenished and hydrated.

Facebook or Twitter?

Hm, both?! I barely post anything on either one..I kinda just use them to keep updated with everyone :)
My routine when I get on my computer: Check my blog, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and routinely check them in this order throughout the day. Inserting Pinterest in the evenings! I spend more time blogging than anything so I will pick blogger (even though that's not an option)

My passion? 

My passion is to feel comfortable in my own body and help others feel the same way too. It is so tiring worrying about calories and all that nonsense. I just want to be able to put on a bathing suit and actually feel comfortable in one. So many girls worry constantly about what they look like, what they are eating and it can get out of control and turn into an eating disorder so fast.

Favorite animal?

Possibly this girafee

or maybe the llama?

Or even the little piggy?

Getting or giving presents?

I love finding that perfect for somebody. A lot of times if I am shopping and I see something that reminds me of a particular person I will buy and hold it till either their birthday or Christmas. So I would say giving, but who doesn't love receiving a gift every now and then?!

Favorite flower?

Sunflowers
