In a Nutshell...

I guess you could say this was our Spring Break trip "In a Nutshell." Congrats to the Toro Pommies placing third in the most difficult category.

So I'm sorry for all of the videos lately but I just had to share this one. I've been quite obsessed with this song the past week and it's just so pretty and I absolutely love Ed Sheeran's angelic voice. What's not to love about being loved right? Introducing my obsession, "Kiss Me".

peace, love, relax, enjoy.

This Is What You Missed...

And this is how I enjoyed my last semester at BYUI. What can I say? I really love my crazy roommates. We took so many videos over the semester so they'll be more to come!

HAIRRRRRR

soooo basically this year has been great so far! I just started school at Brillare Hairdressing Academy in Scottsdale, AZ and I am loving it! I attend Tuesday-Saturday 8am-330pm. The instructors there are honestly awesome and I know this is the best school in Arizona so I'm in good hands.

Part of being in hair school means being able to get your hair done for virtually no cost. So you can bet that my hair is different from when I first started. I got my hair cut the 2nd day, and then on day four I got it colored. Red. It is straight fire engine. It's really pretty I will admit, but a bit drastic for my taste so I'm most likely going to tone it way down when I go back to school on tuesday. So we'll see what this year in hair school brings for me. I'm way excited!

Goodbye 2012

So here it is... Another new year, full of more new adventures. I can't even begin to describe how much I've grown and experienced from 2012. It's crazy to think how much has changed in only a year. But before get too cliché, I just wanted to express how grateful I am to have had the opportunity to attend BYUI and make some of the best friendships I've ever had and definitely hope to keep.

The Way It Works

Flashbackkkkk

For this post I decided a flashback was in order. So let's go back to my 15 year old self, sophomore year when I was well under 100lbs, my hair was super short, and I never had kissed anyone. Innocence. These were the carefree times alright. Welp here we are. 

Cheers for the way my life has turned out today.
