what i've been up to! (+bloghop)

Here's what I've been lovin on these past few weeks:

MSU Gear. Go green! I don't live in michigan but I have so many friends that go to MSU so its acceptable. Sorry Ash, I know you are a UMich gal!

Stole this gem off of Chris's insta. Yea the guy who won the bachelorette. I wonder how thats still workin' out....Anywho we all know my love for facial hair and puppies so this is forever saved on my phone.

Honestly, I couldn't even resist. I am in love with Ashleigh's big little bows. When I have a future big I need to work this one out somehow into my bank account. I found some cute one's on etsy while I was procrastinating. I mean studying.

 My monogram hat ordered off of The Preppy Pineapple. You know you can always go with the super safe (and expensive) option of Marley Lilly. Which in reality, isn't too too bad but I decided to find a shop on etsy that was cheaper (we know I love to save my money when I can. If I remember...). If you've been dying for some monogram hats in your life, check out the Preppy Pineapple!

 The sunset from my new schools library on the 6th floor! Friends and I were exploring the building (it's new!) and we went on every floor to try and get the perfect view. The very few top stories didn't have any views, just small boxes of windows but we went to the sixth and caught the perfect view, and fully watched the sunset. Have I mentioned to you I LOVE my school? Not sure...;)

I revamped Carolina's blog the other week and I'm in love. I can't stop going back to it just to stare. And it's not even my own blog. How cute is it?! Seriously, I'm so proud of it!

 Lastly, you can't go wrong with some nail fun, sunny days, and Orange is the New Black!

-Can we talk about the ending?! WTF PIPPER! I also heard...SPOILER ALERT...crazy 'Pennsatucky' is back next season though! When will season two come out!?

-I have baby hands and clearly baby nails.  I love darker colors on my nails just because it makes it look less short (I think) and more trendy (my opinion of it). I decided to go bold and get those gel sticker on thing-ys (Sorry I suck at remembering names of products) but I think it looks so cute! I just stink at taking artsy pictures of my body parts....(How do those girls take pretty pictures of their stomachs and legs?! Gurl, please.)

The posts you've all been waiting for (Ok..maybe just me)

Although it was a few hours short of 2 full days, it was still an amazing time and we did so much!

So happy I got to experience my first blog date!

Tuesday: B and I woke up early to take our three hour trek to DC. It went pretty quickly actually. Maybe because I was playing some Luke Bryan? I'm gonna go with yes. A few minutes outside of downtown DC, we passed a gas station. We totally forgot we had to pump gas, which neither of us have done without someone else before so we decided to skip. Keep on driving and we hit another one so we decided to stop. I WISH I TOOK A PICTURE. We were standing there waiting for someone else to pay with cash until we realized we had to go inside and pay. We did. yet B paid for a different numbered pump. UM WHAT! So he had to drive around to the right one and then we got it from there. Quite an experience. #TeamWork

As soon as we got to our hotel, we walked over to the Washington monument where Lauren and boyfriend were waiting for us! IT WAS SO EXCITING. We walked over to the WWII memorial where we took our first blogger pic. Kind of a really big deal. 

After doing all the typical touristy stuff (Lincoln memorial, etc)(1) we tried to head over to the Jefferson Monument until we realized the distance and we were like errrr better not. So illegally J-walked(2) a bit and off to Georgetown(3) we went!

          1.                                                      2.                                                3.

After lunch in Georgetown, we sat near the water front where Lauren's boy fed his left over pizza crust to the ducks. (See: her instagram). Later that night at dinner we met up with my two roommates from a travel trip I went on. It was so perfect how they were both around! They bought me a birthday drink and we got some complimentary warm icky saki. Also, never trust Yelp. It looked like a nice place according to them but it was seriously in the DC ghetto. Awkward......Still sorry about that one. Later we all headed out for some froyo & Lauren and boyfriends checked out some places at night! It was the such a perfect day.

Wednesday: After a late wake up, some starbucks, and stopping at a CVS to buy blister bandaids (seriously super ouch with a side of gross), we headed off to the National Archives and some other museums and then said our goodbyes :(. Then B and I were off to see Capitol Hill and the newseum, which was AWESOME. I highly recommend it if you're ever in town! We would have been there for hours but 1. we were exhausted and ready to head home and 2. it closed at 5! We finally found the closest burrito place (cue Qudoba) and headed on outta durrrrr.

Being that I wanted to sleep forever but I can never sleep during car rides, I was delusional singing some rap songs almost the whole entire ride. I don't really think B wants to ever hear me sing again. I got so bored I asked to play 20 questions. Ya know not the one younging teenagers play to get to know someone better (Barf and awkward). I stumped B with a 'supermarket' and he stumped me with a jaguar. Like really?! It was fun and took up the last leg of our drive home. As soon as I got home, I passed out and then realized my life was going to become boring again. Bad ending, I know. TAKE ME BACK. Reality can sometimes be no fun!
