!Christmas Break!

Today started my first day of vacation!

Yesterday, I took my last final for this year and it went really, really well!

Praise God! I woke up around 7 am and watched While You Were Sleeping ( I LOVE that movie!). Then left to spend the entire day shopping. I finished all my Christmas shopping and had a lot of fun. The lady that checked me out at Target was from England, so we were able to talk about our favorite places! My uber cute shoes :)

This is one of the outfits I got for myself. I love it!
My reading material for the next 2 weeks!

No textbooks!!

So, I am very happy!

I am happy about looking towards the future!

I am happy that the Lord is speaking to me about my future!

I am happy that it is Christmas!

I am happy that I go to work tomorrow!

I am happy that I finished my Christmas shopping!

I am happy!!

A Few of My Favorite Things....

I got this ring for $6 in Colorado at a flea market.

I love the design!

I think my new favorite store is Trendz.

I go there every time we are in EP.

They have the most fabulous stuff.

The clutch I got is amazingly, vibrant blue.

I think this is my find of 2008!

It is a primer that I read about in InStyle.

I decided to splurge and get it at Ulta.

Supposedly, it takes away shine

and gives your skin a matte finish for up to 12hrs.

I wasn't disappointed.

I wore it for 10 hours straight at work, 2 days in a row,

and my face looked great!

Okay, sorry for the sales-pitch, but smashbox is awesome! Anyway, I think a lot of girls read this blog, and I thought they would benefit from my product review :)

"Girls just wanna have fun!"

I had a great time on Saturday. I was able to spend 5 hours with some of my favorite people in this world! Hannah, took Morgan's senior pictures, and Whitney and I were the assistants. Whitney and I held the reflectors, fixed hair and make-up, scared guys away, and acted like dorks to make Morgan laugh (I think we were laughing harder than she was).

Hannah, got awesome shots! My sister is wonderfully, talented and you have to check her blog out. The link is on the right.

In other matters, I am officially on Thanksgiving Break, and am very happy about it!

Chaos officially starts in 14 hours at the Bakery. We will be knee-deep in cookies, pies, breads, rolls and grumpy customers. Oh well, just two full days of it and then I will be in the mountains where the forecast is snow for 3 straight days!

Happy Thanksgiving!

My Day

I had a good day today.
I started Fundamentals of Counseling. Interesting.
Have only one more class and then Christmas Break!

Shopped at Target.

Got my Hair Done.

Last couple of weeks, I really wanted to do something drastic, like get a platinum bob (kidding!). But I did want something different. Well, I talked myself out of cutting it short and settled for only adding dark low lights. My hairstylist is uh-mazing! She did a new technique, and dyed the strip of hair around my face a dark brown, and then weaved it in through the rest of my hair. I really like it, even though it is not a HUGE change, I feel updated! And the head massage felt awesome!

Also, if you are looking for a new hair product, get Aveda's Hair Potion, it rocks my face off! It is a light powder that adds texture to hair. My hair is really thin, and it made it THICK! It is worth the price!

Okay, enough about hair!
