the freakin weekend: Weekend Shenans (+GIVEAWAY)

Remember how I told you I was generally excited psyched for this weekend? Well, it was pretty awesome. Aside the 6 hours spent in a car on friday. (read: 3 to get home from school. an hour home. 3 hours driving to friends. yahoo)

After DEVOURING YUMMY CHIPOTLE...the night began. I will spare you my little "under 21 getting into a bar" fun details, but if it gave you any flashbacks to you being in college...ya know how it is ;)

Ya know how I told you one of my good friends and I look like twins? Well some random old guy (typical, I guess) came up to US asking if we were twins. We, being silly girls who looked younger than half the population at this bar, said yes. He then proceeded to ask us if our names were weird twin names like Sarah and Sar-ah. LITERALLY WHAT TWINS DO YOU KNOW, DUDE? Regardless, them fireball shots got me feelin' like Whit.

Also, reuniting with a friend you haven't seen in a year+? So great. She still had me cracking up always and it was SO fun to talk about memories from our trip/ life in high school. Best part? We had identical matching black peplum shirts packed and we didn't even plan it. #ItslikeESPNorSomething...

Saturday, despite the icky weather, we headed to Baltimore Inner-harbor. I was freakin' out that it was so close. I love adventuring. And I love the feeling of being on vacay. Then again, who doesn't? Right.
Can we also talk about how Urban was having a 50% EVERYTHING sale? I bought a cute pair of shorts for ONLY 10 doll-hairs. Seriously, what is life!

Too bad friday night drinks on drinks on drinks got the best of us and caused us to do nothing but bake cookies on saturday night. I am beyond grateful for friends I can go forever without seeing and act as if a day hasn't gone by.

Coolest part of my weekend? Ya know you are a blogger when you see this...and freak out because you know someone with this blog title. Shout out to Kelli!

M.I.A, and some favies of mine

psh. please don't tell me you've never heard anyone abbreviate some words to make them sound like a total girl (read: totes, legit, fabbyfab, ya get the point). Hi! After some roadblocks and by roadblocks I mean brain farts for blogging, and a busy week, I am ready to relax.

1. beach day: got so lucky! Didn't read past page 8, but it will become my summer read!

2. twins: what do you think? (we're not actually related...)

3. change: of hair color as usual. You can't tell but it has a super red tint to it which is odd because the box said dark brown. yooooooou liaaaaaar!

see what i've been checkin' out this past week:

-Miss USA for PETA. they're all just really great people, and I think if you don't appreciate animals, you need to look more into this and STOP wearing animals!

-Wanna go to Disney? Me too. 

-Old school Fall Out Boy. YEEEEES. cue my weird scene wanna be days

-Best vines. Wasted away a good hour watching these. Sadly, some of them are hilarious too!

-I've been eating cowtales (super yum) and craving some chocolate covered gummy bears (a must have)!

**

My butt will be glued to the couch for ever on sunday. Miss USA. 9PM. Be there. or be me, and wish you were there. 

Peanut Butter, Sunburn, & Bloggin'.

I can't believe...

...I helped my blog bestie, Erica, and revamped her WHOLE entire blog for her! She was so excited too which made me super duper happy! I'd be more than happy to help you, too!

...Luke Bryan is in 3 days. Celebrating my one year is in 4. Actual one year is in 5!

I think I'm forever going to love the first weekend in June!

Here's what I did this MDW weekend:

Died my hair darker. And cut it shorter...still slowly growing into the length...

Sat outside, read Gatsby, and got burnt (which I don't mind but I get yelled at by everyone because it's so bad). Oh! I got a pedi too which was beyond beyond needed so that was fun!

It might look like throw up (icky, sorry) but IT'S NOT! It's 'Peanut Butter Twirl' ice cream I got at B's new summer job! so jealous of him because he gets left overs at the end of the night. I sent him this picture of my finished ice cream (read: He usually finishes my ice cream for me....9/10 times) to prove how awesome I am.

...Tuesday was the first day in forever I didn't watch at least one episode of Greek. I am still mourning Casey and Max's relationship. Already in the middle of season 3, and there's only 4 seasons. Cue waterfall of tears.

friday findings: clarity

Now a days people associate the word clarity with the song made famous by Zedd/Huey Mac (my favorite version is the Huey version). Anyway, my friday finding is a bit different today! Whats your clarity? 

Clarity defined is simply 'the quality of being clear, in particular'.

What makes you feel simple & free? 

I'm realizing I need to do things for myself as I stated in earlier posts...

Sometimes it really can be the little things in life that make you happy. There are times in everyones lives when you need to try to move on from the past or even let go of something or someone that means the world to you.

As I sit here blogging and panting my nails, I realize that THIS is my happiness. I entertain myself with these activities verrrrry often because I am stress free...unless I'm last minute pacing around my room to think of a solid post. I can say from experience, when I go through a rough patch in life I tend to distance myself from it (in a positive) way and occupy myself otherwise. 

Note: total shout out to my perfect roommate for cheering me up and buying some trendy new nail polish...check out 'Now you sea me' by L'oréal. So so so beyond recommend it!

Always remember you know yourself better than ANYONE else knows you. Do what will make you happy, regardless of others and their constant persuasions. (note to self: start taking your own damn advice!!!!!!!)

In addition, I love the finding of new followers and friends in the blog community! The past few days more and more are checking out my blog and it is such an exciting feeling! I'm also loviiiiiiin the comments so please feel free to say hello! 

Wishing you all the best!
