Hello from the thawing state of Georgia. Apparently someone really ticked off Elsa from Frozen (if you haven't seen this movie you should, I promise you it's worth it!). Anyways, this week has been a week of lots of craziness. If you haven't heard....Georgia has been frozen for a couple of days now (we are pretty much thawed out!). But it was crazy town on Tuesday, I wish I wore my Kate Spade Bangle for this day because it was a crazy town all around Atlanta. I got stuck on campus for three hours because my car spun out and it couldn't make it through the ice town that was being created. It took my parents 3 hours to travel what should be a 15-20 minute trip. *insanity*. It took my boyfriend 7 *yes 7* hours to travel what should also be a 15-20 min trip to my house. It was completely insane how quickly the roads turned to ice.
(this was not a drill)
(the roads really were awful, thank goodness my parents rescued me!)
Using any form of a car this week was so out of the question (unless you were feeling really risky). So Wednesday my boyfriend and I took a walking trip to Publix (who really was running out of milk!)
We ended up gettting A LOT of groceries (it was definatly needed). So instead of carrying them all home we may have used a Publix cart to carry the groceries to the end of the parking lot.....(I would say it's a secret but you and the rest of the internet knows now!!)
(also his hat is super warm and I totally wanted to take it and wear it but I just stayed jealous on the inside and fought the urges to take it!)
While there was so much ice and craziness you still can believe that I had a little fun in the snow.
(I really wanted to build a snowman but apparently we couldn't do that because I sing the Frozen soundtrack too much!) *whoops*
I can't believe all the nonsense that went on this week, but I can say that I still want to build a snowman, and I don't think I sang "Let It Go" enough.
And not once did I get cabin fever, probably because I slept a lot and watched a ton of Netflix!
Hey all you sassy cats! It's Monday, so grab a cup of coffee and smile because we are four days away from Friday. This weekend was spent doing a little shopping, and a lot of relaxing. I spent time with my grandparents who are in town and we explored the outlet mall near my house and I found this wonderful gem at Kate Spade! I leaped for joy because it has two wonderful compartments and the color is simply wonderful (oh and the price was pretty much a steal!)
This past week I was loving a lot of different things so this week it was hard to narrow it down to five.
1. My first thing I am loving is the movie frozen. I don't think you understand how many times I have been singing "do you want to build a snowman" with one of my best friends (and annoying my boyfriend with it). I even found other ways to make the song applicable to living in the south. Like do you wanna build a leaf mannn (since we don't get snow). *I tried*
(you should totally watch this). If you haven't seen the movie it's a must see and if you have seen the movie I think we can agree that you can watch it over and over again and it just gets better and better. (I watched it two times on Thursday (but with two different people)).
2. Monograms: Now, this is not a new thing that I am obsessed with or loving but recently I have been finding tons of things that look so adorable monogrammed. (did you know you can get your Lilly Pulitzer planners monogrammed? I wish I knew about this at the beginning of fall semester! (all of my binders for school are monogrammed and it's perfect and fashionable!)
3. This song is really simply wonderful! When I first heard it I got really excited because it's one of those inspirational songs that really keep you going during a study/reading session for school.
It's one of those songs that really keeps you going but doesn't distract you from reading (which makes me really happy!)
4. This quote has been on my mind as well this past week. By Jon Stewart
This is something that has really been testing me this past weekend and week. However I have managed to keep calm and carry on. I believe in certain things and I have certain beliefs and I refuse to let another person influence my beliefs and values because they believe I am not doing "well" in life or that I am not level headed in their eyes.
5. Eos Chapstick: Good lordy this product is beyond addictive and it makes your lips extra soft. With this cold weather this is an item that I keep in my purse at all times. If there's one thing that annoys me more than anything its chapped lips. Chapped lips just aren't pleasant. Also not that you should be eating chapstick but the stuff smells (and tastes amazing).
It's Monday which means the weekend is sadly over, and we are back to the grind (whether that be school or work) Monday's mean less lazy. I had a wonderful weekend, it was a fun lazy weekend spent watching Netflix and eating cookies (I'm not complaining). However some of you lucky ducks most likely have the day off today from school or work so its a three day weekend for ya'll! However Monday's still stink because it means that you still have responsibilities and things to do *yuck*! So to make Mondays a little more bearable I thought I would start this Monday tradition of five things I have been loving this past week!
1. For Christmas my boyfriend got me a Nintendo 3DS and my favorite Pokemon character as a plush toy and it is absolutely *adorable*. I also have spent many of hours playing pokemon or tetris on my DS. It's addicting and Pokemon is really fun for me to play because I get to catch adorable little pokemon, name them and then watch them grow as I train them. (who knew this girl would start to like video games like I do!)
(isn't my little Togepi adorable?!)
2. I have mentioned plenty of times that I love this British band called Bastille. (love may be a bit of an understatement). I have a slight, SLIGHT, obsession with Bastille. (obsession makes me sound weird but they're adorable, they sing amazingly and I like the lead singer's (Dan's) hair *its so fun and fabulous. Anyways over my winter break I came across their new song called The Draw and it is addicting and fun. If you haven't heard their stuff you should press play below and experience their awesome alternative style. Their acoustic and acapella music is also simply amazing (youtube stalk them!! it's fun and you'll fall in love with them.
3. There is a Dr. Seuss quote that I have on a post it note on my desk where I study and it says "congratulations, today is your day! You're off to great places, you're off and away!" With a new semester starting I have found myself a little stressed and a little anxious, but not in a bad way. (well okay the stress is bad) but the anxiousness is all about the fact that I will be graduating college sooner than I thought and that I will be starting my "adult life" sooner than expected and part of me is ready. But, this quote reminds me that even when I get discouraged, scared, anxious or stress that I am off to great places and my future is looking bright!
4. Leggings. Home girl loves to wear leggings every day of the week, I actually had to wear jeans the other day and it was a struggle bus. Why do jeans even exist any more???
5. Another Bastille Song (sorry I'm not sorry!)
This is actually a remix they did with To Kill A King...BUT it is still phenomenal and you should listen to it because it's awesome and both of these bands are fabulous.
