FRIDAY!

Who is excited about friday?! I know I am! I honestly feel like this month is just zooming by! There is so much that goes on in my personal life as well as work life that is just filling every free moment. But this has been and will continue to be an amazing month!

Today I am filling in some blanks! feel free to link up yourself over at The Little Things We Do!

1. My Favorite Flower is the Peony. I am obsessed with Peonies. They are my ultimate favorite flower. So big and fluffy and just completely gorgeous. 

2. You should never talk about Politics. I am just not a fan of bringing up this topic of conversation. People can get so worked about politics and although they have every right I like to keep everyone happy and politic talk always ends up with someone being upset. 

3. My favorite discovery as of late is the $25 shellac manicure that is at a place 2 minutes from my house. I still have an obsession with nail polish and have even more of an obsession with shellac.  

4. This fall you will probably find me wearing jeans, boots, cardi's and scarves. I am loving all the super rich colors of fall and of course me and my grey nail polish :) 

5. I wish i were at home doing some fall decorating, and organizing. There are a couple big house projects i really want to tackle but just have not had the time or energy. And now I am kicking myself because according to the weather the rain is about the start and that means I will have yet another excuse to not get out into the yard and tackle some things. 

6. My favorite TV show currently is Revenge. I am loving Revenge at the moment! I watched season 1 in like 2 days. Its the perfect amount of action/ drama/ it takes place in the hamptons :) 

7. This weekend I want to balance some productiveness with some fun. It's my roomies bday and his girlfriend is in town visiting so there are lots of social activities on the list along with hopefully a great OSU game. But i do really want to attempt to make progress on my garage as well. 

Hope everyone has a simply fantastical weekend! 

The blanks are back

It's Friday! I know the blanks have been missing the last couple weeks but here they are! Hopefully you all have a great weekend and aren't cooped up in bed trying to get ride of sickness like I am right now! 

Link up yourself at The Little Things We Do.

1.   The most selfless thing I've ever done was      hmm...maybe being "mamma and" to my many children who are all over the age of 20..I am always the one who just takes care of things or makes things happen. I would do pretty much anything for any of them .

2.   When it comes to working out    I have never been a fan...however it does make me feel so much better      .

3.  A woman should always   be confident in herself. Even if you aren't feeling confident there is nothing like a good fake to show the world you are here and here to make a mark  .

4. I wish I could    make more time in the day    and then I'd    be able to actually do all the fun projects I want to do and have a perfectly clean house/ great meals on the table every night   .

5.  A best friend is    someone who will stick by your side regardless of the season. Be there to give you comfort, give the strength and give you the truth you sometimes need to hear. and through it all love you.

6.  I can't get enough of    fall, pumpkin flavored things, essie power clutch nail polish and weekend  .

7.  This weekend I am   hopefully tailgating, watching the osu football game, getting some sleep, and willing this sore throat away   .

Have a simply wonderful weekend!

FRIDAY!

Heeeyyy! It's Friday!!!! And for once my weekend isn't already planned out and scheduled with a million things. I plan on staying around town, working on my room and a diy project and just relaxing...and i can't wait! But now its time for blanks! Happy Birthday to Lauren over on the little things we do! Her blanks are birthday related in honor of it! And they are such fun blanks!

1. My most favorite birthday was probably my 22nd birthday this last year. It was fun to do a big birthday dinner the day of my bday with all my friends then to a weekend in Portland with my closest friends. We had so much fun having a nice dinner and going out for cocktails. It was the perfect sized group and just an over all fun night. However nothing can beat my pink hummer limo for my 21st ☺

2. My worst birthday was hmm..i don’t know if I have a worst birthday..i used to never even do anything big for my birthday’s because growing up I would always take the money to go shopping with instead of having a party..haha..although my 21st was this huge deal with tons of people I did end up crying that night..too many people and to many opinions on where to go..a disappointment but at the same time it ended up being a great night with a good friend in the hallway of a hotel with a big bottle of champagne.

3. My favorite birthday memory is spending my 16th birthday in Bali, and the “my life growing up slideshow” my parentals made for my 21st..

4. The best birthday present I've ever received was Love them all, big and small..the memory shadow box my mom made me a couple years ago with pictures of my dad and me brought me to tears..it was beautiful.

5. The best birthday present I've ever given was oo I love giving birthday gifts! I think the best gift was to my bestie Sammie. Our group of friends pulled together and bought her a plane ticket to New Jersey to go visit her dad’s side of the family whom she hadn’t seen in years and years and had been wanting to see.

6. Birthdays are my FAVorite! Whether they are mine or someone else’s they are a day to celebrate that person and make them feel special. Even if it is a small gathering or big gathering they are special regardless.

7. My favorite age so far has been Gotta say 22 has been pretty great! I feel like I’ve really come into my own this last year…as cheesy as that sounds. But I think 23 is going to be a major turning point..just because there is going to be a lot of changes in the next year and im excited and anxious to see what happens.

Hope you all have a simply wonderful friday!!! Happy Weekend!

Anyone else super excited about a 3 day weekend!??! I AM!!! Wishing it was a four day weekend but i can't have everything go my way. With the fourth just around the corner I still have no idea what i'm doing and think it's time to just take control and find something myself and do something different...so should be an interesting weekend..haha

But now for the Friday rituals! Be sure to use fill out these fun blanks on your blog and link up and The Little Things We Do!

1. The best news I ever received was idk if I have anything exciting enough for the title best news ever..but it was really exciting to find out that my business was able to start cooking for one of the dean’s here on campus..it was a big accomplishment that I was proud of. Also that my job here with the university was permanent..yay benefits! .
2. Something I'm looking forward to is moving to Portland. This is a big goal and a big change but I am so ready for a new experience .

3. Something I would never do is agreeing with Lauren on this one…skydiving..any extreme sport kind of thing…not a huge fan of bungee jumping off a bridge or anything .

4. If I could choose someone to be my life coach (famous or not, living or dead), I'd choose Oprah…haha. I love her. And if she can’t give me good advice about something then she has a team that could .

5. If I had to put a label on my style it would be hmm…that’s a hard question..lately I’ve been going toward more classic looks with touches of maybe “trend” aspects. I DO NOT call myself trendy. But I like to think I have kinda of mold my basic style with a few fun pieces of the season .

6. One should always be considerate of other and think before they speak .

7. I want to take a vacation. I don’t even care who, what, where , when, why..I haven’t had real time off in…well I don’t even remember the last time..yay for this 3 day weekend!

1. The last thing I ate was homemade coffee cake that I got up at 6 to bake and bring into work :) don’t worry this like never happens.

2. The next thing I'd like to eat is Salmon…im obsessed with Salmon right now..a good BBQ salmon sounds AMAZING!

3. The best things are the simply things in life. Fresh cut flowers, country drives, coffee with good friends, dinner parties, kind words and walks by the river front...

4. Something that makes me supremely and utterly happy is someone loving a dinner party I’ve put on personally or one our business has put on..I have put so much into it and am very proud of it. So nice to hear people enjoy the dinners.

5. Sports are something that have kind of grown on me. Never growing up with sports being the center of anything I quickly learned sports are a big deal when you go to a division 1 school. Helllloooo BEAVER football and my personal favorite gymnastics :) My girls always make mamma proud! Go BEAVS!

helloooo long weekend

You know what i love? 3 day weekends. One extra day is going to be amazing! And hopefully this weekend will be full of productiveness as well as lots of fun :) Anyways on to the Blanks. Feel free to add them to your blog as well and link up at The Little Things We do...

1. If I could get away somewhere for the weekend I would go to Bali. It is so calm and serene there and I could just sit on the beautiful beach and relax and I would bring anything but technology..a break from the world and phones and internet and everyone would be really nice for a weekend.

2. Something I often rant about is how men are ridiculous sometimes…okay a lot of the times but I won’t even go there. Im usually ranting about how I don’t have enough time to do the things I want to get done and how I wish I had another job so I could have money to go have fun and travel..the usual.

3. One item I need to have in my fridge at all time is well my new obsession right now is spicy ranch..its like salsa and ranch mixed together and I love making taco salads with it…I def had it like 3 times this week..yumm.

4. My "life-saving" product is ..okay so maybe not life saving but my favorite house hold product I cant live without is counter spray. Once you start using it you will never go back..trust me .

5. A friend is someone who you can trust to be there through thick and thin…someone who won’t use you but love you because of you and someone who can be there for you even if things in their own life aren’t perfect. A friend is kind hearted and knows what we need to hear when we need to hear it. A friend is love.

6. If I could write my own blank it would be One dream I will make happen sometime in this lifetime is….

7. My favorite kind of art is i do enjoy modern art but photography would have to be my favorite. It’s amazing how much emotion can be in one picture..a moment in time completely frozen for all time..its beautiful L:) .

Hope everyone has a simply wonderful 3 day weekend :)
