Cozy Lunch!!

I just had the most amazing lunch with Mitch. We ordered food from our student union building and then we found a quiet little corner and just enjoyed our lunch and the view from our window.

Here is our cute little lunch with our view. I felt like I was on a picnic! :D

We were had so much fun! While we were sitting we were watching one of the matinence men mowing the lawn. All of a sudden he hopped off his lawn mower to pick up some trash that kids had thrown on the ground. To all of you out there in blogger-land please do not litter. You are just making someone else clean up your mess, just take the responsibility and do it your self! :D

Cozy Lunches and Kisses to all!!

The Joy of Painted Nails!!

Why is it when I give my nails a little TLC I feel so darn good? After spending a little time painting my nails I feel all happy and sparkely!!

There is my creation! :D

In case you did not already know red and black are my favorite colors and when added together they are even more pretty!! :D

My other reason for being extremely happy today is my Hello, Cupcake book finally came!! Yay! I cannot wait to test it out. My first creation will be popcorn cupcakes!!

How Cute are those?! I am so excited to try to make them for myself!!! :D

Pretty nails and Kisses on this beautiful Tuesday afternoon!!

It Feels Like a Photo Op!!!

I had such a blast today with my amazing friend April. She needed someone to take pictures of for her senior project and I was more than happy to help!! We had so much fun running around my backyard! Not to mention she is a very talented photographer. (she is a photography major!) Here are some of her pics that I loved!!

Cool huh? :D

Pictures and Kisses!!

I Might be a Yote, but I Bleed Blue and Orange!

Yay!! BSU Game day!!! I am a HUGE fan of the Boise State University football team! The reason I love them so much is because I always believe it is good to root for the underdog, and the BSU football team has turned into a huge rags to riches story and I could not be more proud of our home football team! I think it is so wonderful that they have earned their way into the spotlight!! Plus it has become a great excuse for my family to get together, have tons of food, and spend time together!!

Mom and Grandma enjoying the sun and the game!!

Mitch happy to finally have the excuse to watch a whole game! :D

Stoopid cookies!!!

Now let me tell you a little bit about these cookies! ( As pictured above). They are addictivly amazing!!! And super easy to make!! All you need it 2/3 a cup of peanut butter, 2/3 a cup of corn syrup, and 2/3 a cup of sugar. Melt those three together and then drizzle them over some scoops fritos and you have the BEST cookies in the world!!
*Proceed with caution! Once eaten you will never be able to turn back!!!*

The amazing ice cream bar desert my Momma made! I don't have the instructions for this one but it was delicious!!

BSU Won!!!
Blue and Orange Kisses to all!!

Love and Purple Hair

Golly, I have some catch up blogging to do!! First of all I must tell you about how wonderful and couragous and beautiful my Mother and Grandmother are!! The other day I needed to re-dye my hair. (I have a few pieces of purple framing my face). I use this amazing stuff called Manic Panic.

There is a picture of it, with all it's pretty colors!! (You can pick them up at any Sally Beauty store). The process of dying my hair was so fun! I had a spa afternoon with my Mom and Grandma and my Mom dyed my hair purple while my Grandma watched and kept us company!

Yay look at that attractive foil haha. We had so much fun working on my hair that my Grandma and Mother, being the amazing beauty risk-takers that they are decided to dye their hair purple too!!! Oh my goodness we had so much fun!! Never underestimate the fierce-ness of your Mother or Grandmother!! :D

There they are!! Like Mother, like Daughter haha <3



Me in my amazing foils!! Please note the red lipstick! My new obsession!! :D

Cupcake Sunday!!

I forgot to mention in my earlier post that I spent this morning with three of my lovely girlfriends making AMAZING cupcakes! My friend April is pretty much a cupcake wiz!! That and she had the help of this sweet little book.

I am planning on getting it as soon as I can! It had the cutest, tastiest recipes I have ever attempted!! I would say our Cupcake Sunday was a huge success!! :D
Cupcakes and Kisses!!

I Love my Mom!

I spent my saturday with my wonderful Mom! We had a Momma, daughter shopping date! I love love love shopping with my Mom! She is so stylish and savvy and needless to say an excellent partner in crime when hitting Sephora!! :D

I have the most amazing times with my Mom! She is one of my best friends and if I am extremely lucky I will grow up to be just like her! :D


While we were out on the town I picked up a bottle of my favorite foundation ever!! Merle Norman Ageless foundation in Vanilla.

There it is! So for all you beauty lovers out there if you have a hard time finding the perfect shade (like I do!) I would suggest this brand! Love it! I might have to pick up some pressed powder too thought because this stuff is very moisturizing!

Sparkles and Kisses on this Sunday afternoon!
XOXO

Love the Little Things!

This is my very first blog post ever and I have decided to dedicate it to the love of my life, my amazing boyfriend, Mitch.

There he is! :) (Sorry this is sideways I don't know how to fix that haha).

Last night we decided to make sugar cookies. (You know the kind you take right out of the package and put on the cookie pan haha). Well he decided he wanted to surprise me so he exiled me to his room upstairs. When he called me down he had set up the living room with a little table with candles and a plate of our amazing cookies on it!! Such a sweetie!! It was the best way to start out the weekend! I just want everyone out there in blogger-land to remember to not take the little things for granted. A simple caring action from a loved one should never be taken advantage of.

Have the sparkliest of Saturdays and give all loved ones a little extra TLC! <3
