They Can't Play in the Rock Quarry, There's Rocks Down There!

Hello Everyone! It's thursday! The even of the weekend. I can say as for myself, this has been a really great week! Senior Recital well on its way, Packages from my shop shipped (say that three times fast!), and I got the retail job of my dreams at Freestyle (thanks for your prayers and well wishes everyone), Hooray! AND also, the Muppets is in the cheap theatre!! I have to say, I can't get enough of 'em! I'm gonna make my husband take me:)

ANYWAYS! Hat people of this world: welcome me to your ranks. I have found, not one, but two hats that I absolutely love!  Now I'm on the hunt for more. This is what I decided to wear today. This green dress has got to be one of the most versatile things have ever owned. It's gonna go a long way for me I think.

The weird background of these pictures is outsite of Jessup in the parking lot! haha.

 This dress could seriously fit any sized human being. It's so roomy. Also, it's completely sheer, so underneath this dress is the AA blue racer back tank dress. Otherwise this dress would cause quite the scandal!

Well everyone, thats about it for me today! I hope you've all had a great week! I sure did! I can't believe all the things I've gotten accomplished! hooray for me, and hopefull hooray for you as well as you prepare to go into the weekend! See you soon!

A continual atmosphere of hectic passion

Hi Everyone! I hope you're having a great week thus far. Mine's been pretty uneventful. Thus far, but we shall see. I've already ran my errands and I still have school and worship practice, so even thought it's already the afernoon, I stil have a full day ahead of me. Should be fun!

One fun thing that I did do was... interview at Freestyle! They are opening a Folsom store, and I can't think of more of a dream part-time job, which hopefully after graduation would turn into more than that! So, prayers and well wishes would be very much appreciated.

Anyways, this is what I decided to wear today. How fun is this little red hat? I can already hear my mom "you look like a little red hat lady". Well, to that I say... today, I litterally am a red hat lady. It really has a fun vibe I think.

 Just an FYI, I am in fact wearing tights. My legs, while they have not seen the light of day since last july, aren't that white, but I'm pretty sure they're not far off.

Well everyone, thats about it for me, I have to rush off to school. I wanted to make sure I was able to get an interview, so thats why this post is so brief. So much to do, so little time. See you soon!

Blog Feature: Broken 2 Restored

Hello everyone! Happy Monday to you. Let me tell you first off the fact that I survived my very stormy drive to school this morning is a total miracle. I left for  class early so that I would have enough time to drive slow and take back roads the whole time. I made it safe and sound :)
ANYWAYS! A few months ago, I met a very special girl in the youth group that Nathan and I are leaders in, named Marissa. Being totally burdened by the Lord to serve people in poverty and really wanting to them to know the love of Jesus, she used her creative gifting to start a little business that is %100 non-profit. It completely runs on donations, and all profit, every single penny goes to a missionary organization called Speed The Light. Her small, but all ready thriving, company is called Broken 2 Restored. What she has done is gathered old t-shirts that people don't wear and turned them into super on trend necklaces, which she sells for $5 a peice. Every penny goes to Speed The Light in efforts to rescue young girls from the horror sex-trafficking.

 Isn't she absolutely wonderful?! If you ever get the chance to chat with her in person, which I hope you do, you will be able to see that without a shadow of a doubt that her heart for these girls to know the love of Jesus is really what she is aiming for. I have personally seen these necklaces fly off the table at youth conferences. It's absolutely a pleasure for me to get to tell you all about what Marissa is doing for Speed the Light.

 How can you help you ask? Well, let me tell you! It's very easy actually. You can go over to her shop by clicking on the following link http://www.etsy.com/shop/brokentorestored. If there's a particular color that you want that you don't see in the shop, just send her the t-shirt in the desired color!

Marissa and her T-shirt donation box.

Well everyone, thats about it for today! Be sure to visit the Broken 2 Restored Facebook page and click like, and if you feel so compelled, leave her an encouraging message. Be sure to visit the etsy page and check em out, and even though I mostly discused the necklaces there are tons of ways you can wear it! Just check it out! Even though $5 sounds like hardly anything, it really enough to change a life! See you soon!

Yo Adrian, I did it

Happy Saturday everyone! It’s been quite a week for me! Back to school, and craziness abounding. I still have so much to do it’s sick, but that’s okay. I like being busy actually! I love being productive. I shipped off a few orders from my Etsy shop, and turned in my rented movie (wow… redbox gets expensive when life gets busy!), and last and most importantly… I have booked my Senior Recital. that’s right everyone. Everything I have to show my musical career as a music Student at William Jessup University will come to pass on May 5th in the William Jessup University Lecture Hall at 7:30pm. Wow… I really can’t wait.  It’s kind of ironic thinking that I have more time to plan this recital than I did to plan my own wedding! Haha.

Anyways, This is what I decided to wear today. The weather has taken a turn for the cold and windy. I mean… it is winter, so I guess that nice warm weather wasn’t going to last forever! Also... doesn't this look like something Adrian, Rocky Balboa's wife, would wear? Thats a plus for me. Also a plus,  I found a gigantic hole in the fence and ventured into the complex next door, and found even better scenery! Adventure!!

You can’t even really tell, but this dress is asymmetrical. It’s one of those mullet style dresses. It’s also short sleeved. But I covered it up with a sweater and a coat.

Aren’t these boots glorious? I decided that I was over my black over the knee boots, so I sold them at Freestyle. And Lo and behold, these beauteous boots came into the store. It was like they were waiting for me to need different boots. I couldn’t resist them.

Anywyas, that’s about it for me today. I really liked this picture spot, so on the days I’m not taking pictures at school, I might make this one of my regular locales. We’ll see. Well everyone, I hope your weekend is awesome! See you soon.

Good habits are worth being fanatical about

It's that time again everyone. School. And you know what that means: Starbucks. All the time. But let me tell you why, before all you coffee snobs cyber punch me in the face. If it were up to me, I would just brew my own and bring it to school and use the internet there. However, the internet at school is awful and the server doesn't support blogger...or just about any site other than Jessup related sites, so down the street I go. ANYWAYS... school is back in, and I am facing my very last semester. Thats right folks, I'm graduating in May. Adulthood is looming.

ANYWAYS! I no longer am required to go to chapel (thanks old catelogue!), so while everyone is being a good person and worshiping the Lord, I was being vain and taking gratuitous pictures of myself for this blog. And while I know things are about to get super duper busy, I'm gonna take advantage of all this freetime I have.

Well, this is what I decided to wear today. This little trench is so sweet and cutesy, that I can feel myself getting cavities. I love it so much. And even though it's super cold (it's finally winter!), I'm really glad it's kind of light, because that means I can wear it all year long. How cute would this be on an over cast beachy chilly morning over a little dress? I'm in love.

 If you weren't able to tell based on the background of the first picture, the buildings on the inside of Jessu are really beautiful and vibrant colors. I knew exactly where I was going when I was thinking about taking pictures. I've actually taken pictures out here before for this post in front of the yellow dorm.

 I thought my alarm was going to go off plenty early for me to get my 8am class. Well...I was wrong, so I had absolutely no time to do my hair or makeup... so glasses and hats it is!

 How incredible are the print, buttons, and color of this dress? This dress is currently part the pink tag stuff at Freestyle, if you live in Citrus Heights or Sacramento, get yourself over there so you can get one before they all run out!

 How Precious is this classic little coach buddy? When I saw this hanging in Freestyle, I knew it had to be mine. The condition is so beautiful, it looks like no one had ever carried it.

Because it's pretty deep for it's size, it's like this beautiful little leather box. It perfectly fits everything I need to survive

 Keys, Phone, Wallet, Sunglasses, lipgloss, and even my camera squeezes in there! Perfection.

Well everyone, thats about it for me today. Before I go, please take the time to read this article put out by Google. https://www.google.com/landing/takeaction/. If you noticed, the google homepage has a censor bar over it. This is because there are two bills being passed around in Washington that are encouraging internet censorship. It will essentially end all creative internet ventures for people like you and me. It's very political and is being funded by special interest groups that dont care at all about the little guy. Please please please do some research on this bill. It is bad news, and it is un-American. If any one of these bills ends up passing, I will not be seeing you soon.

Is Bigfoot Real? Can 27 People Be Wrong?

Hello Everyone! I realize that it's almost 9PM, but hey better late than never for a post, right?! I've really had quite the full day. Coffee, Friends, Shopping, Forcing people onto this blog, babysitting, wow. Really super great way to spend the last day of break, if I didn't have the option of spending every single second with my husband, which I didn't. AND since I didnt, I went to coffee with the ever wonderful Erin, who I always go to coffee with, at the ever delicious, Shady Coffee and Tea, where I always have coffee! I actually have significantly cut down my Starbucks drinking this break. I mainly made my own coffee, and I'm very happy about the money I saved doing so. Easily over 100 dollars. double wow.

Also: Last night I rented the Movie Joody Moody and the Not Bummer Summer. Nathan hated it. It's a movie for 12 year old girls! Of course he hated it! But... seeing past the very obvious silly facade of the kiddiness, I loved it. It was so sweet, and Heather Graham as the Crazy Aunt Opal was awesome. I really do like kid movies not like Spy Kids kid movies, but kid books turned into movies, like Diary of a Wimpy Kid. PLUS, it scores majorly with the kids that babysit. However, I asked Luca and Dario if they were into Joody Moody....evidently it's only for girls, and they have no interest in it.

Despite their lack of leaves, the Trees really add to the beauty of old roseville.

 Erin and I are embracing an incresing internet trend that I've noticed hasn't really caught on here in Roseville...Yet. Trust me. My prediction is the next expensive "ugly" shoe trend will be these Dansko Proffessionals. I know they're not the most beautious shoes, but gosh, they are so comfy. And, for the record, I find them cute. Especially in black paten and leopard print! Ours are actually the knock-offs from Kohls, but they look identical, and there were literally 95% cheaper.

 Dancin it up in our Danskos. Celebrating our comfort and our frugality. Go us.

Well everyone, thats about it for me. Tomorrow Nathan has a Tattoo appointment in Stockton, so you know what that means! Hooray! Family time! Seriously, nothing funner. I hope you all have a fantastic weekend everyone! See you soon.

They Said Not To Drink The Sprinkler Water

Good Morning everyone! Happy Thursday! You know those days when you don't have much to say? Thats me today. Not a lot to do today, so I'm just gonna talk about my outfit!

This is what I decided to wear today. isn't this 70's dress so fun? I bought it to wear to play a show with my Husband. It really has a great folksy vibe, how could I pass it up? Since it's really got a lot going on by itself, it really doesn't need much styling, and especially since it's a really beautiful day, I don't need a coat or anything.

 The colors of this dress happen to all be my very favorite colors, separately and in combination with eachother. Purple, Blue and Teal. What more could I ask for? Nothing, I guess!!

 My hair growing out goal is really coming along nicely! Now I can even curl into Farrah waves! Hooray!!

 Another edition of:Shoes my Husband puts on Hold for me!

Well everyone. Thats about it for me today. Tomorrow will be a fun last day of freedom as I'm having coffee with Erin, and then hanging out with one of the ladies from youth group. she'll be featured for sure, she's absolutely gorgeous. Anyways, enjoy the rest of your day folks! See you soon!!
