I decided to link up with Carissa for a confessional -- if you haven't done it yet, you should!
I confess.. I had jambalaya for breakfast.. welcome to Louisiana.
I confess..I haven't washed my hair in two days. Don't judge.. I had 2 days off work & lounged around. [I would put a pic.. but trust me, you don't want to see this mess]
I confess..I have an addiction to Iced Caramel Macchiatos.. double shot.. low fat milk.. :)
I confess..I absolutely fell in love with bull riding the other night at the PBR Rodeo.
I honestly wouldn't mind going more often. <3
I confess..that I am in major need of a vacation. Preferably on a beach .. chair in the sand.. and a cold piña colada in my hand..
I confess..I woke up to a box in my mailbox with a few of my make-up purchases from ebay...
Seriously, it made my morning & I miiiight have done a happy dance :)
I confess..that I stumbled upon this little website, www.beautyticket.com earlier & I AM OBSESSED!! They have MAC shadows for $11.99, Lipfusion glosses for $14.99, Smashbox shadows for $4.99. Seriously, I'm in heaven!
I confess.. I am a freak about coasters when people use my dining room table.
That is the one thing I am a stickler about here in my house.
{Which, of course, is why I have the sassiest coasters around}
It's been a while since my last post, but I'm back in action!
I have FINALLY gotten a new computer charger [if you all recall, my precious dog ate my last one].
This post is going to be fairly long because I have so many random updates!
1. Two of my best-friends have gotten married in the past two months! The bachelorette parties were nothing short of a good time, the weddings were beautiful, and the receptions were a BLAST!
How precious are my bests on their big days?!
Caitlin got married April 30th.
And Kaley got married June 18th!
2. I have FINALLY made the outside of my house look like a home. All it took was patio furniture, precious pillows, and flowers!
My dad bought me this gorgeous hybiscus-- I adore it!
I got my pillows from Walmart for $10 .. pretty good bargain!
3. I will be starting clinicals in August if I get accepted into the program! Fingers crossed ladies, this 5th year senior is ready to graduate!
4. I recently discovered that my obsession with ebay has become a problem.. & my bank account is suffering tremendously! :(
My latest obsession is make-up products. These are my most recent purchases:
NARS blush in Super Orgasm
Lancome Definicils Mascara ... the most amazing mascara EVER!
I have the thinnest, shortest lashes, and these make them look full & super long!
BareMinerals in Medium Beige.
I have been devoted to this product since this little lady, Nadine Haobsh, came and spoke to us at my sorority house!
She is absolutely AMAZING, & her book Beauty Confidential is a must read!
5. I have always loved Jason Aldean because, of course, he's easy on the eyes. However, I have absolutely fallen in love with his latest album, My Kinda Party. My favorite tune at the moment is Country Boys World.
Go ahead, take a listen ladies.. because who doesn't want to fall in love with a country boy... or at least fantasize about it. ;)
6. I gave my 2 weeks notice at my job today. :(
I have worked as a CNA for the past year, and I recently decided it's time to get a job that's closer to home {I was driving 45min to and from work}. I am excited to begin a new chapter, but will miss my work family dearly.
7. If any of you want to add a little fun to your pregaming parties, I have just the game for you! My girls and I discovered this little gem, Power Hour, at Spencers the other night! Talk about a hilarious & amazingly fun game! It was also 75% off, so we got it for $3... can't beat that!
8. I have also become obsessed with the idea of redecorating and repainting the guestroom in my house. I've decided I will attempt these two DIY projects for that room!
a.) The headboard out of shutters- how freaking cute?!
b.) I saw this mirror collection on Anthropologie.com, but it was $690.00. This college girl is ballin' on a budget.. so I'm going to attempt to make it myself because it's precious!
I have missed catching up on yalls lives & visiting via the internet!
I cannot even begin to tell you how amazing things have been lately. Ah! I feel like we all have so much catching up to do ;) This month will mark the 2 month anniversary of my life altering break-up. For those of you that have been following my blog for a long time, you know how devastated I was. So much has changed ya'll! I have been going on dates, taking trips, spending time with my friends, and just enjoying my life! I am in such a great place and it feels so good!!
My last post was about my mom's surprise party - a month later, here are the pictures!
Her cake came out AMAZING!
Oh we got her ... BIG TIME! ;)
CHEERS!
She was crying! Sha baby! She was so happy!
Love them!
My cousin Audree came in from Oklahoma! :) Audree, Me, & Bridget.
The party was a total success and mom loved every minute of it! We are blessed to have such amazing friends and family that traveled so far to be there for her on her special day! :]
Ok, procrastination break is over! Gotta hit the books for anatomy! :( booo!
First of all, I'd like to wish the best mom in the world a very happy birthday! :)
[yes, that is me with bleach blonde hurrr]
She's been with me through it all. From skinned knees, to broken hearts - she's been my rock. She's never let me down & she always sees the best in me, despite all my faults. I'm so grateful to have her in my life. God knows, I'd be lost without her! :) I LOVE YOU MOM!

Random happenings in my life:
This past week, I went on a trip with my dad and my step-mom! We went to Red River, New Mexico to go skiing. So let me just tell you...
Homegirl here, hasn't been on skis since I was 10 .. so it's fair to say that I am wayyy out of practice. Leslie and I got ready & left my dad at the cabin with the twin brothers while we went to ski.
When we arrived, we got on the gondola... first major failure. We both crashed into the seat, our skis got intertwined, and Leslie sat on one of the poles. A small mess, but a mess nonetheless. We end up at the top of this mountain .. might I add that it is a GREEN... AKA: baby slopes. So as I'm exiting the gondola, I'm sent flying because the ice is so slippery. Get up, shake it off, and am ready to tackle this tiny slope. WRONG. I get to the top, look down, and PANIC. Somehow I get turned around backwards, and am then skiing BACKWARDS down the hill. HOLY SHIT!!!!! I was freaking out! My step-mom stuck out her pole & I busted my ass. Needless to say, I was done. I took off my skis, walked back to the gondola, and rode that bitch all the way to the bottom. I then went and nursed myself back to health at the local BAR.
.. with one amazing Bloody Mary :)
You have no idea how amazing that drink was ya'll ;)
That night, we ended up going out. Yet again, we made my dad stay home with the brothers while we went out and partied. What started out as casual drinks at the bar ..
..... ended up being wild night at the bar.
That was a "blow job" shot & the way she was trying to take it was not how I was going to take it ... hints my face lmao! We ended up meeting these two randoms that kept buying us drinks & shots ... who doesn't want free drinks .. right?! Needless to say, we were feeling great by the end of the night! I could add other random happenings of this night .. but I won't. :)
All in all, it was a GREAT trip & I'm so happy we went! Now I have to start working on mom's surprise party because it's TOMORROW! AH :):) She is going to die when she sees all of her friends, ya'll! :) Cannot wait!
