post Valentine's Day.

Valentine's Day is over and I hope everyone truly enjoyed their day. I did just as I said I was going to but let me just tell you about my weekend in order. Btw, I have one single girlfriend and that's who I spent my entire weekend with. 

Friday, I met two of my close girlfriends for margaritas. Side note: Margs are not my drink of choice but I'm slowly starting to like them. They're just so fun to drink with girlfriends. We went to this fun little Mexican restaurant and got drunk on margs and laughs. Then, me and one of the girls continued our Friday night ritual of going to these guys apartment and hanging out and drinking. We end up staying the night there. 

Saturday, I had to work early in the morning. Barely make it there in time because I stayed out of town. I wore the same clothes to work I wore out that night. Yes, I was that girl. 

Saturday night, I had a wonderful valentines evening. I hung out with my closest single girlfriend. We watched the movie, If I Stay. Great movie, tear jerker, probably not the best pick for Vday but whatevs. Then, I made chocolate covered strawberries and got the wine out. We drank a bottle of Stella Rosa Peach and hot tubbed. Side Note: Stella Rosa is the best wine there is. 

We finished up our weekend Sunday at the horse races. We lost on every race we bet on but we drank a little beer and had a great time with the friends we hung out with on Friday. After the horse races we went to dinner and a movie. 

It was such a wonderful, fun, relaxing, exciting weekend. I didn't once think about how lonely or sad I was. I relished in all the love I had for myself and the people around me. 

Super Plus: an ice storm hit and I didn't have to work Monday or today :) 

valentines day.

Well it has come the time for all people in a relationship to be super mushy and super in love while all the single people are super bitter.

This blog is to help single people not be bitter and to not be this guy.


I have been single the last 3 or 4 Valentines days but who is keeping track. It has taken me a LONG time to be okay with V-day and this is the first year I actually am. Normally by this time, I am all in my feelings, crying, and thinking to myself no one will ever love me. I am also pretty angry at my friends who have significant others. How stupid of a holiday where all you do is order flowers or buy chocolates. Why do people even celebrate it? What is the point?

This year I have decided that is just silly behavior. I don't know if it's because I have matured or if I am just numb to V-day. LOL. However, I have decided for us single girls out there this is not a time to be sad. We should be happy for all of our friends. It brings your friends down if you are negative /bitter towards v-day because then they feel like they can't share their happiness with you.

SO, this Valentines Day make it be all about you. Plan a night alone or with other single girlfriends and completely treat yourself. Go get a pedicure and manicure, by yourself chocolates and ice cream, rent a movie, order take in, go out with your girls to eat or to a club. Valentines is about love and that doesn't always have to be love with a significant other. Spend this valentines loving yourself or spending time sharing love with your girlfriends.

If you do this, then when your friends in a relationship try sharing there plans you won't be bitter. You will be excited because you will also get to share the big fun night you will have as well.

flat tires & freezing weather

Let me set the scene for ya:

It is a normal Friday night and about 30 degrees outside.

 I am leaving a ball game that was in the middle of nowhere, following my family in their car. I drive about 6 miles and my car starts jerking to the right. Flash my lights at the fam and pull over. What do ya know I got a flat tire. Only of my family members phones had cell service, barely. Call a parent from the ball game and he says he will come help us.

A good 30 minutes later, the guy shows up. He changes my tire and puts my spare on my car. However, my spare is flat too.  At this point, we have to find service on the cell phone again and call someone else to bring us some air or fix a flat or something.  We waited on this guy for a good 30 minutes as well. Finally, put air in my spare tire and head home driving 45 mph the whole way. What should have been a normal 45 minute drive home, ended up taking about 2- 2.5 hours.


The moral of the story? Everyone should carry a can of fix-a-flat in their car, to avoid waiting 2 hours in the freezing cold!

time to get crafty.

So, anyone who knows me knows that I am not the tidiest person around. I do love a clean room and made bed BUT that rarely happens. My room/ bathroom is never just down right disgustingly dirty. However, there is most likely clothes. everywhere.

Here is my problem, I have WAY too much of pretty much everything. I have too many clothes, t-shirts, scarves, shoes, and really anything else you can think of. With too much stuff and not near enough room, I have decided to turn to my good friend, Pinterest.

I decided to share some of the pins on here that I think will be most helpful!

Okay, so this is just a really good article. I have so many random little items in my bathroom that just float around on the sink. My very favorite thing from this article is to get the magnet strip for bobbie pins, genius. If you are girl then you know the struggle of trying to keep up with bobbie pins.

  This link is more about kitchen organization. I thought this was really  neat because I would have never thought to use a magazine holder for canned goods.



Remember when in doubt, pinterest it out! 

2015.

Hello! I'm back and its a new year!! Hello 2015!

My holiday break from work was somewhat chaotic but I loved being out. Today is my first day back and it was extremely hard to get here.

I spent Christmas with my family and it was very low key and chill which was just what I needed. The next 3 days we spent our time re-watching the Harry Potter movies in order. I consider myself HP obsessed, i love it. I have a Pottermore account and was sorted into the Slytherin house.

My new years was very fun. I got to spend it with an old friend and anytime we get together it is a blast.

So here is my "New Year, New Me"
Everyone does it, sets high goals at the beginning of the year that are most likely not accomplished.

However, I want to try to be more positive. I use to be an extremely positive person and I feel like the past 3-4 months I just haven't been. God has been testing me today on my first day back but nevertheless I will not be negative!

The second thing I want to do is ride my bicycle and get some exercise in. I know typical new years resolution. However, I got a super cute bicycle for Christmas and I really want to put some use to it.

So Happy 2015, let's make it the best yet!!!

ipsy.

So, I have recently became an ipster.  What is ipsy?

Ipsy: Each month, subscribers will receive a beautiful Glam Bag with deluxe samples and full-sized beauty products. Take the beauty quiz to help determine what goes in your bag.

So basically, I  pay $10 a month and get 5 or 6 items in a "glam bag" for me to keep. This is my second glam bag to get.

November Glam Bag:      This is pretty much my bag. Everyone gets the same bag for it to come in. Which is awesome you get a new little bag each month because what girl doesn't need tons of little bags. My November bag is currently being used as an earring bag.  So, lets talk about what came in the bag; Be A Bombshell Cosmetics Eye Base, Elizabeth Mott you're so FINE Eyeliner, J. Cat Beauty Wonder Lip Paint, Laura Mercier Invisible Loose Setting Powder + Mini Fan Brush, Marc Anthony Oil of Morocco Argan Oil Volume Shine Hairspray.

Out of all these items my least favorite is the setting powder. Simply because I don't really know what it is used for. The other 4 items I fell in love with. The wonder lip pain its awesome. It works so good and it is a perfect pink color. I ordered more once I used it. I also really loved the eyeliner. It was black and had glitter in it. If anyone knows me they know I love glitter.


December Glam Bag:     This is my December Glam Bag. Once again another perfect little bag. I will probably use this one for things such as brushes and combs since it is so long. In this bag I got Coolway Boost Repair Treatment, Crown Brush Infinity Shadow/ Crease Duet Brush, NYX Cosmetics Butter Lip Balm, Pixi by Petra Fairy Dust, Tarte deluxe lights, camera, lashes. 4-in-1 mascara. I just got this bag yesterday. So far I have only tried the Tarte mascara. I was super excited about getting this because I have been wanting to try the brand Tarte. I love the brush and it worked really well. However, I am excited about trying all the other products.

If you haven't joined the Ipsy craze I suggest you do it. Its $10 a month and you get alot of stuff that you get to keep. Also, if you like the products then they give you coupons for those products.

mid 20's crisis?

Everyone has heard of a mid life crisis, normally happens when people are 50ish. Is there such thing as a mid 20's crisis?

I think there is and I think I am there. I feel like my life is boring and I am stuck in a rut and I need something new and interesting.

Here is a list of things that I think would help my crisis:

1. A dog:I have recently fell in love with Labradoodles but I would also gladly take a shih tzu. 

2. A MAN. Heres my newest slogan for what I want in a man: "Age 21-28, I dont discriminate, as long as he is someone my eyes don't hate" Yeah I just came up with that one night but it works.

3.A car: I love my car. so  so much. It is so cute and sporty and fits me. However, its getting older and it may be time to get a new one. I want either a Mazda CX-7 or a Nissan Rogue or any other SUV. 


4. A new job. Now this is the scariest of the whole list. I love my job but I am stuck at my job. There is no room for moving up and I don't make the best salary. However, looking for a new job means  looking for a new place, as in a new city, to live in. terrifying.

So as you can tell I really have no idea what I want or need for that matter.

BTW: update on my hair, I got it done and fell in LOVE. Its is so perfect and turned out just like the picture. btwbtw: I think that's another sign of my mid 20's crisis, changing my hair color.
