Guys. I'm so, so sorry for abandoning you through the holiday season. I promise I had good reasons! (Like this flight of bacon). Yea. Just look at it. Bask in it. Then go to the Wurst Bier Hall in Fargo, ND. My laptop crashed RIGHT before finals. And Taylor has been too broke/not home to fix it. I surprised my boyfriend for his graduation from NDSU so I was in the "wintry" (cold as, well, Canada) North Dakota for a week. It was a PHENOMENAL trip with pretty views, catching up with great friends, and enjoying some true North Dakota hobbies. Then I tried to … [Read more...]
Christmas Beauty Swap
I have to apologize for my delayed beauty swap reveal.. I have yet to get my laptop fixed so I have been a little slow with posting this month! Luckily I took pictures on my camera before I left for a quick trip to beautiful North Dakota so I stole a friend's laptop because I can't wait ANY longer to share the goodies that I got! Kate sent along a bottle of Muscadine Wine that is made near where her family farm is in Virginia. I knew we were going to hit it off well when she asked if she could send wine! This round of the #CCBeautySwap has been one of my favorites … [Read more...]
One of Those Days
I can already tell that it's going to be one of "those" weeks. My laptop got a little overwhelmed on Sunday with a new program download, then it slid off of the couch onto the floor. Which would normally be fine. I mean, it landed on a rug! Except it's not. Projects, assignments, and 4 classes to study for this week and I have a laptop that takes 14.5 hours and counting to move 1Gb of data onto a flashdrive. I spent two hours at the Computer Help center on campus yesterday. They poked, prodded, and diagnosticed (it's totally a word) my poor laptop, only to determine … [Read more...]
Scarf Season
Jessie says: Today we’re styling one of my favorite staples for fall wear…the scarf! When it comes to scarves, I have very few rules, but important ones, nonetheless. I call this quality over quantity. Rule #1. NEVER, ever, ever “splurge” on a scarf. Although this accessory is something that can be added to any outfit, it’s not something to spend half your month’s rent on. Honestly, these days a girl can find a cute, inexpensive scarf just about anywhere. Target, Old Navy, H&M, TJ Maxx…the list truly goes on forever. Personally, I won’t spend more than $20, … [Read more...]
#CCBeautySwap – Fall Edition
Whoa. I can't believe it's already time for another #CCBeautySwap link-up! This time around I was lucky enough to be paired with my new fave gal, Crystal Blin! Crystal is the fabulous lady behind Crystal Cattle; she's also the brains behind the Crystal Cattle Beauty Swap. A few times each year, Crystal co-hosts a beauty swap where ladies from around the country get paired up to send each other their favorite, tried and true, couldn't-go-a-day-without 'em beauty items. Crystal and I exchanged a few emails talking about what types of beauty products we loved or wanted … [Read more...]
