thursday latelies

this week my loves are:

1. making a makeup tutorial. ahhh! i am so excited. i just need to edit it and it will be up and running. i am super nervous to post. but makeup is one of my biggest loves and passions. i am a complete dork in front of the camera. hopefully someone will benefit from it ;)
2. seeing three of my favorite friends that are married. i don't get to see them as often as I'd like so when i do it's extra fun.
3. making my green smoothie. holy yummy. go make one NOW!

gettin my hair did & thursday latelies.

I have my hair appointment next week and i'm going to do the 'melt' or 'ombre' look. Whatever you want to call it!  I had a slight melt last fall and loved it. I am super excited! I know, I know, i am always changing my hair but change is good?! RIGHT! I can't wait to get my hair did right before one of my best friends weddings and school starts. I am so excited for my friends wedding and to be a bridesmaid. Our dresses rock and now i just have to find some cute black open toed heels. Oh and anyone have any suggestions on how i should do my hair?? HELP people... her wedding will be amazing. She did so many DIY projects and I know its going to all come together and look amazing!! I feel like a freshman all over again with school starting this month. I am so excited for my classes in my major. The technical term of my major is "Art and Visual Communications with an emphasis in Photography" (just in case you were wondering..) Pretty legit if you ask me.I am excited to FINALLY be studying what i love, meeting new friends, and learning.  It will be a good semester, I can just feel it! 


now for my
 thursday latelies:


1.fresh veggies: this week I've really been enjoying fresh veggies. been cooking all sorts of things with them. or just slicing a cucumber up for a snack. i love making up recipes especially that are healthy!


2.snail mail: i got a letter from a friend that is on her mission. and nothing better than getting mail. and writing letters. something about it just makes me all happy.


3.OPI's "Sparrow Me the Drama" Polish. It's from the pirates collection. its so darling. and super girly. 


those are a few things that have made me happy this week! 

What do you think of the melt/ombre trend??

thursday.. time to link up!


here's my thursday latelies for this week:


1.mac palette duo. ummm love. i know i always blog about mac.but i was so stoked to get a new colors that will be fun for fall. i had some gift cards that i was able to use, so that's even happier!! :)


2.it's just been a happy week! it really has.all around. i love these weeks where nothing is too planned and you're busy and things just go the way there supposed to. and you get to do fun things. see the people that you love. 


3.this week i've loved being outside. i feel like i always have other things to do before work but this week i ventured to the park twice to eat lunch and enjoy nature. something about being outside just makes my day go by so much better. and i always feel so much more happier. the earth is beautiful. 


what has brought you joy this week?

things that have made me happy this week:


1. spending time with the old roomies in our old town {blog post to come} it always makes me happy being back there. the place i went when i was first on my own, and where i grew as a person. so many fond memories there. i love small towns.


2. MAC pigment in Pink Bronze. I love that you can wear it on your lips, eyes, cheeks, even add it to color nail polish. But lately i have liked it putting it on top of my eye shadows. gives it a nice summer-ish look! so pretty :)


3. during a photo shoot this week i realized (not that i haven't before but it hit me again, hard.) that "this is what i'm supposed to be doing" and even though it took me so long to decide i found something that i am passionate about and just is RIGHT. don't you love that feeling? eeek! I can't wait for my classes to start!!!! 


and that my friend was my thursday latelies.


happy thursday!

thursday latelies

what has made me feel happy/blessed/joyful this week?


1.slurpies. they rock. they make me actually feel like its summer time. plus they are delish! and bring back fond memories of old friends. aren't memories amazing? that we can close our eyes and remember the other happy times in our lives. {and sometimes the not so happy times} but that we can take ourselves back to another place in time.


2.getting blessed. blessings of paying tithing are amazing. my testimony has be strengthened. i am so blessed!!


3.pinterest. so i'm a little obsessed. i'm a little late on this band wagon. but i have had it forever but just recently started to actually use it. and i'm mmmm mmmm lovin' it!


what are you thankful for this week?

thursday latelies

i'm linking up again this week with bex!!
i love the idea of Thursday latelies because it give you a chance to reflect. 
and remember.


what brought me joy this past week!:


1. being a RS teacher @ church. it not only gives me a chance to teach (yes i'm nerdy and love to teach) but gives me the opportunity to study the subject that i am teaching. sometimes i think were given these opportunities to not only to teach others but in the long run it's us who needs the teaching. so i'm thankful for that! 


2.living so close to the canyon.okay i probably always talk about the canyon. but who can blame me. i love it. everything about it. i love fires. going on walks. the waterfall. driving. the view from squaw. i could go on and on. but this past week i was able to go up and read and just enjoy nature. i love living in such a beautiful state! being outside just makes me happy. UT summers are wonderful.


3.lunch dates with my sis. i love going on lunch dates. especially with my sis Becky. we always have fun. and were the closest in age.having sister time always makes me happy! and so grateful for each of my sisters. i wish my other two sisters lived closer so they could join in on the fun! 


happy thursday!

thursday latelies

i have been following bex...a style diary for quite a while now.

she has the cutest style and i love her thursday latelies. so i decided to link up this week. 

i'm not quite brave enough to do a vlog {yet}

so i will just list a few things that i've been thankful for this week and that make me happy!

1. f.r.i.e.n.d.s: okay so i'm sort of obsessed with the show. have been since it first started. anytime i've had a long day, or a bad day i just pop a disc in as i'm winding down at night and you can always get me laughing & smile on my face. i just love that it always lightens my mood.

2.talking to my nephew on the phone: he lives in az so i don't get to see him much. he is so cute and he is a lover. he always makes me feel good about myself and that i'm the best person ever! i love hearing about each and every one of my nieces and nephews lives. they always remind me of the simplicity of life. and how sweet, innocent and happy they are makes me want to be more like them.

3.baby lotion: i use it like its going out of style. it makes my skin so smooth, smells good, and i always smell like a clean baby :) ha. all in all it just makes me happy


can't wait to do more thursday latelies.
it's good to think about the things that make you happy during the week and to remember them.

happy thursday!
