Reliving the Glory Days

Oh to be in college again! 

This is the biggest event on campus. All of the Greek houses have an event to raise money for their philanthropy and this is Chi-Omega's event for Make-A-Wish Foundation. It has turned into a huge event that every house on campus looks forward to every year! The venue where it takes place is a packed house; sold out show-no sitting or standing room! And the Greek community begins to prepare their show MONTHS in advance.

As a Tri-Delta Alum, I couldn't be more proud of these girls! They put so much effort into the choreography and practices, costumes, and props. 

The theme is "Deltas on Broadway"

This is the 3rd year in a row my sorority has won overall! 

Congrats DDD's!

"Sofia and Rosie Risin' to the top"

Sofia, with her hype girl, from England are now gangsta rappers!
It's adorable! 

My favorite line is..."sippin' on cherry aid and it tastes good..."

And..."Nicki is a princess, Ellen is a queen, put 'em all together, it's a Hollywood dream."

Basically I just love the whole thing! 

How stinkin' precious are they!? 

Got any big, exciting plans!? I'm going to my favorite sushi restaurant with a boy...eh, I'll let you know if it goes well. 

Then girls night Saturday! I think we are planning to seeing The Vow! I'm BEYOND excited for this movie. Just in time for Valentine's Day. I'm not a hater on love...just yet! 

happy weekend!

Why a child needs a pet...

My dad sent me an email with these photos last week. 

They were so adorable, I thought I'd share a few with you! 

Enjoy!

The last one is my fave! So cute!

i'm hormonal

For the past year and half or so I've been having some skin break outs {only in my chin area} 

You'd think at this age, this stuff would be over! We aren't in Bieber years anymore! 

But for me, it seems to be worse. 

It's like clockwork. During the same time every month, TO THE  EXACT DAY, that ovulation time, I breakout. 


I believe most of my issue is female/hormonal related, but due to a previous medical condition I cannot take Birth Control, which would help normalize my hormonal breakouts and issues :(

My issues:
a.Hormonal breakouts
b.scarring
c.redness and irritation

I've tried multiple different skin care lines and products to clear it up. I'm scared to know how much money I've spent on products, etc. I could have used that money much more wisely {wink, wink}

Nothing seemed to help so I finally went to a dermatologist. She prescribed a few different antibiotics, topical washes, and creams. They all have different effects and work...ehh...just alright...Currently I am still taking Doxycycline.

I've also been buying getting regular facials and other skin care treatments to help. I've had a few chemical peels as well, While the results are great, they are not helping with my main issue all that well.

One brand I am thinking about trying is the iS CLINICAL brand that Shasta recommends. There are a few products that seem great, just want to pick the best one for me!


 If anyone has any products they SWEAR by, I'd love to know about them!

It's a ROYGBIV kinda wardrobe!

I was very excited when I got the J.Crew spring look-book in the mail a couple days ago along with a little gifty card {yes, very little, but hey, every dolla counts!}

I LOVE the colorful pieces and mixy-matchy going on!

I know you've seen the previews for the BRIGHT season ahead, but I just couldn't contain myself. 

I. LOVE.

I WANT so many colored cropped pants!

My top 3 favorite colors would be the light pink/coral, yellow, and teal! 

What's your favorite pant color? 

The Night Circus

Wednesday night B and I went to a local bookstore and saw the author or The Night Circus speak about the book! We started a book club last year {and are trying to keep it going!} and this was our book in December. It was AHH-MAYY-ZZZIINNGG. Such a great story, I can't describe to you how great. When reading the book, I felt like I was there, or definitely wanted to be! This is a MUST READ! You won't be disappointed!


After her telling of her background she was in theater and playwriting, it makes so much sense as to how well this story was written and the detail and description that she uses. {she never intended on being a writer!} After hearing how much time, effort, and revising went into this book, I'm surprised she stuck with it! I know I couldn't do it! It took over 5 years! Hearing the little details and her "favorites'' of characters, etc was so neat!

We were a little late to the party, but there were drinks named after things from the book! So fun!

the Author, Erin Morgenstern

So fun & peppy

don't mind me in my work out attire. Raced there after Pure Barre so I wouldn't miss it!

I'd never been to a book discussion/book signing before. It was kinda cool. I really liked her! 

My future hubby is engaged :(

I was so bummed today when I found out that my future hubby is engaged. 

{Although I think I'm a month behind on this news} 

You all know Dave from Lady A, well, he and I are friends, in real life. Well, I'm not sure what he would call it, but we were in my cousins wedding and communicated via Facebook once last year. I'd call that friends, wouldn't you!?

At my cousins wedding we sat together at the wedding party table and chatted for a while about his future plans of moving to Nashville and me being a nurse, etc.

True love.

Proof:

In all seriousness, he's a great and genuine person and I wish him all the best. {Just like I did with his singing career...and now look at him, winning Grammys!}

The real future wife:

Ahh...I guess I'll have to move on to the next lucky one!
