OMG My Last Post

Happy Friday everyone! I hope you all aren't stressing about finals too much!!

It's my last post for the semester, but I may post in the future, so who knows....

I hope everyone has a wonderful summer and you all get the opportunity to relax instead of work the whole time!

Hope to see some of you next semester! Buh-bye

For the Ladies!

Girls! 

I made a beyond brilliant purchase yesterday at the salon and spa I work at and I had to share.

It's called Nutra Luxe Lash MD and it makes your eyelashes grow longer and thicker in three to five weeks!!

And it works. A lot of women have tried it and I have seen a difference and it's pretty amazing. And I'm down because I hate my eyelashes. Like I spend way too much time each morning applying mascara just to get my eyelashes to look longer.

And yes, it's kind of expensive (like $42), BUT I would still highly recommend it. So the next time you see me, my eyelashes aren't even going to need mascara!!

Anyway, this is where I bought it and you guys should come check them out at Bella Strada! Also, they do eyelash fills and airbrush tanning! 

Summer Time

I am so excited for summer, you wouldn't believe!

First off, I'm going down to Corpus Christie like the second week of May for my cousin's graduation, and you best believe I'll be hanging out at that beach!

Then I'll be working my freaking butt off for next month or so. But it will be fun because I work at Bella Strada Salon and Spa, so I get to hang out with some pretty cool people every day!
(You guys should stop by, get a massage, facial or haircut. OR you could buy your mom a gift card for Mother's Day.... Just a suggestion.)

And this isn't set in stone, but my boyfriend's brother will be living in Florida this summer and I've been invited to join his family for a visit! Which means the beach and (maybe) Disney World!!! I'm excited about that because I've never been to Disney World! But I'm trying not to get my hopes up because it's not set in stone.

What about you guys, what are your summer plans? Try not to make me too jealous!

My Top 5 Movies of All Time!

There are only a few movies that I am willing to watch over and over and over again. And these are them:

1. Troy. Because who doesn't love Brad Pitt AND Orlando Bloom AND Eric Bana all in the same movie?! Also, the portrayal of how the Greeks invaded Troy is interesting to me as well.

2. Lord of the Rings. All of them (like I can pick just one). Because they are all epic.

3. Kate and Leopold. This movie is just adorable. Plus, I love Meg Ryan and Hugh Jackman. It's about a man who travels forward in time from the 19th century to present day New York and falls in love with a woman there. It's a great chick flick. 

4. Rear Window. It's an Alfred Hitchcock film and a classic thriller with James Stewart and Grace Kelly. And all I'm telling you about the story line is that a man witnesses a murder and the whole movie is them basically trying to prove it. I'll also say this: you should watch it. 

5. Law Abiding Citizen. This movie blew my mind. It's violent (which I don't always care for) but at the same time I found myself rooting for him because of what happened to his wife and kid! And a surprise ending, what's not to love about that? This is an awesome movie, I highly recommend it. 

Geez, this post nearly took me an hour. I found it very hard to narrow it down. Apparently I love movies.

Cute Kitties and (kind of) Studying for Finals

Tonight, when I should have been studying diligently for my Media Law final, I found myself searching YouTube videos for cute kitties.

Productive, I know.

So I thought to myself, if I've wasted so much time looking up cute kitty videos, I might as well blog about it right? (Also, has anyone else noticed how much I post from YouTube on here? Maybe I have a problem...)

Anyway, here you go:

Bros, Broskies, Bro-mans and Brahs

A couple of weeks ago, my boyfriend, Matthew, and I went to his home town and met up with a couple of his friends from high school.

Let's just say that it was "bro" central. Ultimately, it was hilarious. But at the time my reaction was more like, "Are you serious?"

Just to paint you a little picture, it went a little something like this:





The dialogue was different, but the conversation had generally the same affect.

So in the end I had a great time with his buddies, but when I got back home to Edmond I immediately called up my best friend and demanded that we hang out so that I could recover from my "bro" time.

Is anybody else feeling as though there is a "bro" epidemic going around through all men in their 20s??

Young the Giant is coming to OK!

Oh my goodness I am super duper happy to say that one of my favorite bands is coming to the Diamond Ball Room on June 6!

It's going to be epic so save the date, people!

Just to give you guys a little taste check out this video! This is one of their more popular songs, so you may recognize it! Enjoy :)

Man, I'm Awkward.

Yeah, I have issues when it comes to not being uncomfortable.  Or just being normal. But let's just stick with awkward for today, yeah?

Anyway, here's just a short list of some things that I do on a regular basis, that make me think to myself, "I really need to get my act together."

1. Autocorrect. Is the bane of my existence. I have weird texts ranging from "I need to buy dingleberries" to my mom (which I still don't know what I was trying to say) to "I'm so hood" (meant to be "I'm so good").

2. Tripping/Running into things. I have been doing this since I was kid. I always manage to trip over my own two feet or run into a friggin doorway of a house I've lived in since I was 4.

3. Being gullible. Do you ever have those moments when people are looking at you like, "How are you not getting this?" I have those a lot, and always at the most inconvenient times. Like when I'm with a big group of people.

4. Speaking in front of people. I'm not sure if this really counts as being "awkward"... But I always get bright red whenever I speak in front of people. Even when I do a pretty decent job of presenting something and I have every reason to be confident. And it's always just the best when people look at me and are like, "You are, like, bright red." Gee, thanks.

These are things that (sadly) happen to me on a regular basis, but I've long since decided to embrace my awkwardness and surround myself with people who find it endearing instead of completely idiotic. If you haven't done this yet, you should try it. It'll set you free.

Good Days and Being Thankful

It's been a good day, so I think I'm going to post about what I'm thankful for!

1. This semester almost being over with.

• Most especially Media Law. I mean, no hating on Dr. Hanebutt (I think he is a very good professor), but law is just not my thing. At all. So it's pretty cool that I'm ending the semester feeling pretty satisfied with that class!

2. IHOP.

• And great friends who buy me breakfast! That's right, I'm talking about you, Courtney Bass! 

3. Shorts and flip-flow weather!

• I'm loving how it's not cold at all!! I'm in love with shorts and sandals so this is a great time of year for me.

4. My two-inch thick memory foam on my bed. But it makes me want to stay in bed all day, and that's not always a good thing!

5. My parents. Because they bought the memory foam for me.

• Just Kidding, that's not the only reason I'm thankful for them! They are my anchors to reality and my reason for striving to do well. I love them.

Hell on Heels by Pistol Annies

Pistol Annies "Hell on Heels".

I've been loving it since I first heard it months ago.
Check it out.

I'm Dying of Laughter

I cannot stop laughing when I see this video.

Enjoy.

I. Love. Shopping!!

So online shopping is probably my biggest weakness. I'm not saying that I buy a lot (because then I would be so broke I wouldn't be able to live), but I always go to different websites and check out what they have and see if I can get inspiration for outfits.

Anyway, I would love to share with you guys my favorite websites to check out some cute clothes!

1. Francesca's: I am IN LOVE with this store! I not only go to the website, but I go to the store all the time. It's awesome, seriously. Check it out.

2. J. Crew: Yeah, they are kind of expensive, but I adore their style. I go to the Looks We Love tab and that gives some great ideas for outfits all year round.

3. Ruche: Vintage style. Nuff said.

4. Victoria's Secret: Because who doesn't love looking at swimsuits that only look good on models?

Annnddd last but not least:

5. Anthropologie: Oh, yes. I know how expensive this particular store is. And I also know that I will probably never buy an outfit from there ever because I do have some common sense, but I still love looking at the home decor and accessories!

Do you guys have any favorite places to shop online? I would love some new suggestions!

Lots of Happily Ever Afters

Has anyone else noticed how many fairytale related T.V. shows and movies have been coming out lately? I, of course, am loving it, because I love anything fairytale related!

First of all, there's Once Upon a Time. This show is good if you like intrigue! It's about a small town whose inhabitants are all fairytale characters, but they don't know it.

And then there are movies coming out later this year, like Snow White and the Huntsman, starring Kristen Stewart and Chris Hemsworth.

And of course the lovely Julia Roberts starred as the Queen in Mirror Mirror.

Oh, and I can't forget Grimm, which I love. Although this T.V. series isn't really fairy tales, it's a great show based off childhood stories!

Also, I'm pretty much in love with David Giuntoli.

Basically, I'm a fairytale addict, and I'm not afraid to admit it!

I Always Have Room for Dessert!

While looking for drink mixes online, I stumbled upon this wonderful blog!

Room for Dessert has a lot of delicious looking recipes, and although I am no chef, even I want to try some of this stuff!!

She also posts some cute outfit ideas (which I am always willing to check out!), and some party planning ideas.

I realize that there are a lot of cooking blogs out there, but this one seems pretty cute.

Basically, go check it out.

Words of Wisdom

Found this on Pinterest and I wanted to share!

Awww...

Happy weekend everyone! Hope it's a good one!!

Summer Reading List!

Yeah, whatever, I'm a nerd. What of it?

But anyway, since all I'll be doing is work, work, and work some more, I decided I would work on reading some books that I've been wanting to check out!

So here it goes:

1. The Lord of the Rings Trilogy and The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien

• I realize that these are two different books. BUT I am going to be taking a class next semester on the works of J.R.R. Tolkien, so I figured why not refresh my memory? So it's for educational purposes, obviously! 

2.  The Maze Runner by James Dashner

• I (along with everyone else) was obsessed with The Hunger Games (before it was a movie) and I've heard that if you liked The Hunger Games, you will definitely like The Maze Runner. So I'm down.

3. The Little Stranger by Sarah Waters

• It's a ghost story that's supposedly not cheesy! Yay! (I really don't know more about it than that, but I do love a good ghost story!)

4. Sarah's Key by Tatiana de Rosnay

• A French journalists is asked to do a story about the day all the Jews were rounded up and sent to concentration camps in 1942. In investigating the story she finds secrets about a young girl named Sarah. A historical and investigative story that I've heard is really enjoyable if you like to read stuff like that!

Now I know that this is not a very long list. But let's face it, people, LOTR is going to take me half the summer anyway! (Probably longer if I'm being honest with myself.)

Props go to Samantha Maloy for giving me the idea to blog about this!

And just a little disclaimer: I will not be just sitting at my house and just reading all summer! I'm not that bad.
