Summer lovin'

Ahh finally I feel like summer has arrived! I feel so lucky that I get to be in the beautiful weather all day long. After all the storms and sorrow, I have been needing a day to shock me back to the "summer happy feel." After my mom left and the week continued, I felt a little down and I for sure needed a day like today to bring me back to the cheerful state I love to stay in. There are so many things in life I am grateful for and I don't need to waste one second taking any of my blessings for granted. The smell of the fresh cut grass, friendly smiles, and perfect sunsets are my favorite things about summer. My favorite time of the day is when the sun is setting. I have put my candle and new fresh lilies on the window ledge and they are looking fabulous sitting next to each other. I am adoring these two items, they have definitely help put me back into the joyful summer mood!

Wonderful Weekend

This weekend was absolutely fabulous. My mom came to visit and it was just what I needed. It was so fun to spend some time with each other and create memories. On Friday when she first arrived we went to her favorite place, Newk's to grab some grub. I was starved after work so it was perfect that she was hungry too. Next, we went to the square for a little shopping! The square was looking livelier than ever! For dinner we went to eat at the Mexican restaurant on Jackson and Kris took a break from studying and joined us!


On Saturday, we woke up early to get our craft on! We headed to the square to see it transformed for double decker. There were a lot of art tents and yummy food tents set up. We crafted and collected some goodies and then ate some food and people watched. Kris joined us for lunch, and I think he enjoyed seeing the square transformed too. Saturday night we just grabbed a pizza and watched some tv.




Sunday we did a little shopping in Memphis and I picked up some anthropologie goodies! I always leave there spending way too much money. But I am enjoying my purchases and I have been lighting my new candle every night. I absolutely LOVE the volcano smell. And it is in a vintage looking silver container, which makes it even more perfect. After we ate a little lunch, we went to get my nails done. We searched all over for a salon and finally saw elite nail spa on poplar. Did we hit the jackpot or what? There was a bar in the salon and they were serving drinks while you got your nails done. It was perfect. And I will for sure be returning! Next, was the worst part of the weekend; driving my mom to the airport to return to Atlanta :( It was a wonderful weekend and there were definitely some great memories created!

Pretty in Pink

How beautiful is this? If only I could have every inch of it. DREAM.

Do you dare?

So yesterday I picked up a new read! drumroll.....The Daring Book for Girls. Don't mind that it is usually for ages between 12-15, I am completely loving it. I so wish they had a book like this when I was growing up! It has everything you need to know for being a girl in it. Some of the titles in the book are: Rules of Basketball, Boys, friendship bracelets, how to negotiate a salary, Books that will change your life, building a campfire, writing letters, and those are just to name a few. As most of you know, I am a complete child at heart and still sometimes act like one. I have a feeling this book will be in my hands for many many years to come! Below is a picture of me after my purchase, pre-horrific storm.

I CANNOT WAIT!

I CANNOT WAIT FOR THIS MOVIE TO COME OUT! I laugh so hard during the preview already, I don't even want to think about what I will be like watching it in theatres. May 13, hurry up!

workout wonders

Holy workout! This gal, Jillian Micheals, has been killing me! Her workout video is intense! I hardly ever sweat from workouts (probably because I am constantly dehydrated), and I was pouring sweat after her workout video! This was day 1 of me doing the workout and I am pooped. I wanted a good workout video but did not want to pay for one like p90x, although I wish I had the extra funds to do so! However, I feel like Jillian's video did the job! She has several videos, so I can't wait to try the others out when I am finished with this one!

Product Shout Out!

I love it so much, I thought I should share with you my new favorite product. It is the seasource renewing body gelee from Arbonne. I got it about a week ago from one of my favorite Arbonne ladies, Emily Denton, and I have almost used the whole can. It is ridiculous how much I use this stuff. I apply it in the morning before I go to work and at night before I go to bed. It really helps hold my extreme golfer's tan (who wants to lose one of those? Right?). The smell is fantastic and not too overwhelming like some lotions are. I encourage everyone to try it out. And if you don't like it, I will gladly take it off your hands :) You can get a hold of one of these goodies by contacting Emily Denton or Brooke Ruff! They are the sweetest girls and will help you out with anything you need to know about this product or other Arbonne products. As for American Idol tonight, I am too devastated to even get into it. I cried tonight when Paul got voted off, and it takes a lot for me to cry. America has gone cray.
