It's OK Thursday!

Today will be my second link up with Neely at A Complete Waste of Makeup. I think this is such a fun link up and I love reading other people's posts!

IT'S OK...

That I spent my entire day on the sofa watching Say Yes to the Dress and HGTV.

That I find Lean Cuisines very delicious and filling meals.

To buy another case of Diet Coke when you've sworn off the stuff. (it's crack, I swear)

To spend literally hours on this bad ass website laughing hysterically.

To super stalk a new fashion blog you love. Hi J's Everyday Fashion!

That the driver side door handle broke on your car and not to take it to the shop because you'd rather deal with it than be without a car for a few days..........

To spend literally 3 hours on the bed swing on your mom's porch on a random Wednesday afternoon.

To try and lose weight to fit into a dress for formal in New Orleans.

To feel extra accomplished when you check something off of your to do list.

To pull that "But Daddy pleeeeease" card.

To need glasses after 20 years of 20/20 vision.

To be freaking out waiting for your new nikeID tennies to come in the mail!!

To only post on your blog when you remember to every two weeks.

To cry watching Chopped... seriously. I did.

To take pictures of your dog constantly because you think she's the most precious thing ever.

To find a new close friend out of someone you didn't expect.

To steal your mother's furniture ;)

edit: To read tons of It's OK link ups to avoid studying for a geology test tomorrow! hehe

Love doing this! So tell me, do we share any weird qualities? I'd love to know!

Have a happy day!

Just a little laughter

Spring Break starts tomorrow at 12 for me!! Assuming I finish my Stats homework. I'll be in Atlanta the whooooole week with the BF and the puppy so I'll have lots of time to blog. I plan on making it a priority! Here are just a few things I saw on Pinterest that made me giggle this week. Puppies are just so cute!

Hahahah I crack up every time I see these. Hope they made you smile too!

So I have a little obsession..

Nail polish is one of my biggest obsessions. I literally can not get enough!! Whenever I'm in the supermarket or a drug store I always go straight to the beauty aisle to check out the latest polish.

 I am an Essie fanatic! I refuse to buy OPI. I think it's too thick and it never fully dries. Like it can always scratch and make dents in it. Know what I mean? It's just not the stuff for me. I'm convinced that the nail salon ladies add something to it to thin it out and make it better because at home it just isn't the same.

I definitely have my favorite colors but I have recently become obsessed with "wild" nail colors. I think it's cool to have a fun pop of unexpected color on your nails. In the past, I turned away from anything that wasn't red or pink because my mother thought it was tacky which in turn made me think so too. Well that opinion no longer exists for me so I'm all over the color wheel with these pretty shades! Here are some of my favorites:

                                          Tart Deco                                     Lapiz of Luxury 

                                      Mint Candy Apple                           To Buy or Not To Buy

I am currently rocking the amazing lavender above and it is gorg on!! But if I were to please my mother and go with a pink or red I'd have to use one of these two:

                                           Geranium                                   Cute As A Button

Geranium is the PERFECT red and Cute As A Button is fun pink! Although the online picture doesn't do it justice. Hate when that happens!

Oh and if it's glitter you want, glitter is what you'll get with Set in Stones! It is perfect for special occasions and accent nails. I wore in on New Years Ever and have never gotten so many compliments on a polish before! It's great because it has multiple size glitters in it so it covers really well and has interest. I almost always have it on my toes. It makes me so happy to see the glitter when I'm in the shower or putting on shoes.

Like I said, I have an obsession. But with pretty and fun colors like these how can you not?! Essie is amazing and if you don't have a bottle you should definitely get some like now! 

Happy polishing!

Yikes...

Here we are again with a month gone by since my last post. And I thought I was getting better about this! I'm just going to pretend that didn't happen...

I am currently sitting in my statistics class waiting for my teacher to show up. However, since this class is so boring and I don't know a soul in here I'm just going to spend my time blogging and Pinteresting (that's a verb right?) until 50 minutes has passed. 

Quick update on my life as of the last month:

Elliott and I celebrated our ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY!!! 

I truly can't believe it's been an entire year. It doesn't feel like that much time has passed and at the same time it feels like so much longer. It just so happened that SAE has a Valentine's date party the same night. We went to dinner with a big group of friends and ended the night at a new bar on the square. But I keep telling myself it was just a huge party just for us. It was so much fun!

Meg and I at Swayze Field for the first game!

Baseball season also kicked off and is now in full swing! We have FIVE games this week!! Right field is def the place to be on game days. Everyone's in a great mood, the weather is always amazing, and the beer is never ending. The only problem I have is making it through the night after I've been to a game aka I'm a light weight.

Oh! My puppy!! I ended up naming the ball of joy Sippi and she is the light of my life!! It is so wild how much I love her. She literally warms my heart. She's getting so big I can't stand it. I wish I could slow her growing down just a little bit. 

I suppose that's enough for now. I'll post tomorrow since I have the day off!!

It's OK Thursday!

Okay so I'm doing my first "link up" in the blogging world with Neely at A Complete Waste of Makeup. I've seen it on other blogs and always thought it was cute so here goes nothing! 

IT'S OK...

To spend the entire day fixing up your condo with your dad on your day off from class.

To not go to dinner with your dad because your sister is being a brat.

To want to redo your room as soon as you finish decorating it. 

To make a mess of your whole downstairs and hide in your bed until you feel like cleaning it up.

To make four trips to Home Depot in one day.

To sleep with an old stuffed bunny rabbit as a sophomore in college.

To drink Diet Coke like it's your job.

To learn how to be handy around the house at 19.

To want to eat sushi every single day.

To be a month late buying your BF a Christmas gift.

To fight with your bestfriend over something you believe in.

To not talk to said best friend for a few days while you both cool down.

To be so perfectly content in your relationship.

To finally turn over a new leaf in your life.

To blog because it feels good to put something out there.

Wooo! That actually was really nice!! I will def try and remember to do this next week!

Have a happy day!

Sup Pup!

Hello world, I would like to introduce my new puppy to you!

She is the most precious thing in the world! My family dog, Chaney, had puppies on December 14th and all 7 of them are beautiful. They are full bred Golden Retrievers and all of them are so sweet with amazing dispositions!

My mom surprised me by saving one for me and told me I could keep her if I felt like I could take care of her. I was very hesitant at first because puppies are a huuuge responsibility, but after talking to a friend who got a puppy at my age I was convinced I could handle it. 

I am in love! (Sorry Elliott!)

Every since I decided to keep her, I have felt like I have a child!! It is actually quite ridiculous. I have about 100 pictures of her on my phone and show them off to anyone who will stop long enough to look! I'm like one of those annoying parents who's child made honor roll or won a track meet. She can't move into my condo for another 2 to 3 weeks since she is only a month old so I'm basically dying not having her with me right this second. 

I took her to my boyfriend's fraternity house and all of those boys are obsessed with her! I was told that I couldn't ever come back unless I brought her with me and she has been dubbed the new SAE mascot. It was so funny hearing every single guy come into the room and immediately talk in a baby voice! 

I mean look at her! How could you not love her?! 

I'm not sure that I even have any readers, but if you're out there help me pick a name!

I'm loving:

Scarlett

She's very independent and sassy sometimes!

Honey

She's honey colored and sweet!

Sippi

For my home state of good ole MissisSippi!

Daisy

One of my favorite flowers! Who doesn't love a daisy?

Give me some feedback and let me know!

Obviously..

.. I am the world's worst blogger. I check on this little thing maybe once a month? It's just so hard to want to keep up with it when I don't even know how to make it cute! I guess I need to invest a little more time into figuring that out. Later! ;)

Christmas break has come and gone. Tomorrow is the first day of my second Spring semester at Ole Miss. This is exciting and scary to me. It means I'm getting older and I do not like the sound of that! 

Tonight was stormy so my first day of classes will be brought in with the rain. Walking around campus in the rain is so much fun!... not. But I guess the plus side is that I get to wear my new hot pink Hunter's and they always seem to put a little more pep in my step. I need to buy the fleece socks that fit them so I can wear them on campus instead of tennis shoes or boots while it's still cold out.

How cute would those be peeking over my pink wellies!? I need them!

My dad is coming into town tomorrow and will be here for the next week! I'm excited to spend more time with him like I did over Christmas break. We really bonded and our relationship is so much better after I stayed at his house in south Georgia for a few nights. I also plan on putting him to work in my condo hanging curtains, fixing a cabinet or two, etc. I'm sure he won't mind too much!

I have, yet again, decided to give this whole blogging thing another shot. My goal is to post at least once a week. I know that's not much but it's wayyy better than what I have been doing! So hopefully I'll be checking in later this week : )
