forget the mold and DO YOU

So like I said in my Instagram post last night I am making an announcement today. A life announcement, this decision is going to change the direction of my life and I'm so excited! If you have been reading along you might have picked up on the fact that I absolutely DO NOT like college. It is probably the most dreadful thing.... ever.... Sure is the social life fun? Yes it is! Is the living on my own exciting? You betcha. But is college thrilling? HELL NO it's not! 

So here's the lowdown... I've decided to go to cosmetology school!! I wanted to do this during my senior year of high school but was discouraged to do so.. The story begins last weekend when I went to a local hair salon here in Rexburg with the intentions of dying my hair to a silvery blonde. L O freaking L, 5 hours and way too much money later I walked out of the salon and felt so ridiculously ugly I wanted to cry and never leave my apartment again. So the next day I called another local salon called Tami's and they got me right in to fix it. That time when I left I felt hot as hell and I was ready to take on the world. A couple of days later I got a phone call from my homie who I sometimes call Mom, and she said "You hate school, you are only there because you feel like you have to be and you don't enjoy it. Have you ever re thought about going to cosmetology school?" well truth is I had, when I was leaving the first salon I wanted to be a stylist that NEVER let anyone walk out of a salon looking the way and feeling the way I did about myself that day. 

I love people and getting to know them on a personal basis. I love creating truthful and honest friendships with people, I am someone who would rather someone leave feeling better than the way they came. So I am excited to embark on this new journey starting here in Rexburg on April 14. I know it is going to be a long year that will still throw me many challenges, but I'm ready to take them head on. A special thanks to all my family and friends that are supporting me in this decision and making me feel like it truly is what I will thrive at. 

missin my shibbnut like crazy!! Love you girl!

Floral Palazzo Pants

I love love love these pants. It's basically like wearing PJ's without looking like you are wearing them. So flowy, and comfy. Not to mention it is super easy to dress them up! :) We took these pictures at Thanksgiving Point. That place is a little gem that I always forget about. The grounds there are so beautiful. There were a few different groups of people taking pictures as well. It was fun just to walk around the grounds looking for places to take pictures :) 

I bought this Turquoise ring on our cruise in Mexico, definitely a good purchase!

Camo

A little something you probably don't know about me is that I'm kind of a wannabe country girl at heart. I love camping, I love fishing, I love country music ALL the time (and no, Taylor swift is not country), I love horseback riding, I love shooting guns, I love the mountains, and I have this fantasy that I'll live on a ranch one day. However, that probably will never happen because that's where the wannabe comes in.. I definitely still like my civilization too. Growing up I was determined to be a city girl, that was a corporate business woman, who lived in a sky-rise in NYC. But growing up with my grandpa, that slowly starts to fade. So I'm confused in the middle somewhere... Anyway, I love camo and can we take a second to thank whoever is bringing it back in, and hope it stays FOREVER? Thhis is also the same tank I work in this post here. Today I'm excited to get to have a family day in Salt Lake! Hope you have a wonderful Thursday. It's almost the weekend. Yay!!!

Blessed

So I have a lot to say today.... and today is my first day back at work since I have been home from school. I'm pumped. Honestly I LOVE working at Under Armour. Drawback? My shift starts at 6 am... So if you are reading this after 10 (which is when I get off) I will probably be back in bed sleeping, since I'm typing this post at 1:30 in the morning... What am I still doing up?

Can I just say how grateful I am for the wonderful people in my life? My awesome friends, whose places I can just show up at, and forget the worries of life while they make me die from laughing so hard. My girls that keep me sane and send me hilarious snapchats and make my day better with simple text messages. My mom and little sister, who through thick and thing have, and will always be there. My beautiful auntie who sends me, my sister, and cousin texts saying we are like daughters to her following with a quote that says "To my daughter: If I could give you one thing, it would be to see yourself through my eyes; then you'd see how amazing you really are." My other  two wonderful Aunties whom I consider my other mom's as well, and the support they give me, my sister, and my mom. Not to mention my cousins who are truly more like siblings to me *Moss cousins or die* (you boys know who you are cause I never let you forget that I'm your little sister not your cousin, all the other boys, and the one whom I grew up fighting with on trips to California and made sit in the middle ;) miss KKL, and my other one that can't read this because she's on a misision, shout out to Georgia) My killer Grandma and Grandpa Moss! Go to Idaho for a weekend and you'll be fat off of grama's mean cookin yet not regret a bite, and high off of grampa's slightly exaggerated stories. Oh and can't forget grama stealin everyone's money in a mean game of Tripoley either! Not to mention all of those cousins who have married into the family, who.. whether you like it or not get to be considered my siblings too :)

Sorry for the reflection and rambling/bragging of my family and friends, but sometimes we need to look on our lives and realize how truly blessed we really are. I for one am blessed because I have a job, I have solid friendships, and my family through thick and thin are clearly the most solid people around. So a special thanks to my Gma and Gpa Moss for raising all of us to be so close, and to know what and who is truly important in life.

Bright and cheery post for a bright and cheery outfit!!!

Yes Sperry has wedges and they are so bomb comfy! I got these ones at Nordstrom. The rest of this outfit is old, but similar pieces like this are sold at boutiques everywhere, probably easy finds at H&M and Forever 21. Simple, easy, fun!!

Spring & Snow....

First off I want to thank my beautiful friend Rachel for taking these pics for me. She has officially made me want to go blow 500 dollars so I can get a camera like hers. But it was so fun going and doing a shoot with her. Little does she know she may get sick of me calling her to go and take more.... :)

So today I woke up and checked all my social media as usual to find out it was snowing, at the end of April.. What? Thank you Utah for being bipolar when it comes to weather. So I looked outside and sure enough little flurries coming down from above... *insert eye rolling emoji here* On a happier note I finally got the white chucks I have been dying to have all year! Yay!! This dress is seriously so comfy, it's like I'm basically wearing a nightgown! Love it.

Thanks for stopping by! Have an awesome Monday :)

Yellow and Lace

Well Happy (almost) Easter everybody!! This Friday my mom and I went out on a girls night. Clearly these pics were taken at night... But i just  LOVE this dress. I know it's not a pastel so can this technically be an Easter post? Well, yep. Cause I say it is! We went shopping and out to dinner. It's one of my favorite things to do, go out with my mom and just spend super great quality time with her. She was nice enough to snap the photos for me. 

I used to be afraid to wear the bright lips, but then I decided if you think you can pull it off, and you are confident in it, you can probably pull it off! So bring on the bright lips!! Love this NARS lip color I have. It is awesome, the color stays on great. One store I spend way to much time at when I go shopping is Sephora. I could spend hours there, and probably max out the credit card without even caring.. Well at least I wish I could. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you all have a wonderful Easter weekend:)
