Summer Photo Challenge

I've been wanting to do a photo challenge forever, and I've finally decided I'm just going to do it. I got this one off Pinterest. Every so often I'll post my photos from these days so you can see my progress. I think it'll be lots of fun! If you do a photo challenge this summer, I'd love to hear about it! Oh, and by the way, I'm starting this one tomorrow even though it is designed for July. It doesn't hurt to start early. ;)

Disney

I don't care how old I am. I'll always love going to Disney. This past week my family and I took an unexpected trip to all 4 of their parks, and I had an awesome time. Some of the highlights of my trip included:

-Getting new Nike's!

-Eating in 7 different countries in Epcot

-Riding Thunder Mountain 4 times, and Kali River Rapids 7

-Eating wonderful soft serve ice cream

-Staying at the theme parks from opening, to closing 

-Eating out at Sweet Tomatoes!

-Shopping at Downtown Disney (more like looking...)

-Watching the American Idol Experience (the best part is when they shower the winner in glittery confetti)

-Listening to music on the car ride

-Riding all the other rides, watching all the shows, and eating all the other good food. ;)

So yes, I had a great time. It was really nice to escape all the Spanish assignments I'm supposed to be finishing, and instead hang out at Disney... 

Have an awesome week everyone!

May

First things first, I apologize for the graphic. It did look good, until the words went off center and the colors turned weird. 

Anyways, welcome May. Lots has gone on. April was awesome, so I can't wait for this month.

Some things you may want to know:

#1 'For King and Country' is an awesome group. They're SO good. Specifically, their song 'Missing'. It's been on repeat for the last two weeks. You know, it's one of those songs you get.

#2 I've added a bunch to my 'Dream' list. You may want to check it out.

#3 I got a Pinterest. I keep rearranging my boards, and moving pins. 

#4 I plan to actually post some stuff on my blog this month. I always plan to, but forget. But this month, I do hope to blog more. We'll see :-)

Have an amazing week everyone!

March Music

So time to cover the new music from last month!

Hundred More Years - Deluxe Edition

\

I've always loved Francesca's music. I have her 'Hundred More Years' album, and the deluxe edition has some great new songs. 'Something More' on her new album is my favorite of the new ones, and of course her old songs are still amazing.

Passion - Let The Future Begin

'Passion - Let The Future Begin' is the album recorded at the Passion conference. With great worship singers like Kristian Stanfill, Matt Redman, and Chris Tomlin, there's a lot of awesome music in this album.

Audio Adrenaline - Kings and Queens

I didn't hear about Audio Adrenaline till recently, but I really like their song 'Kings and Queens'. I haven't gotten the chance to listen to their full album yet, but I know people who love them.

So there you have it. Looking forward to April's music fill!

P.s. If you don't already own it, go buy Colton Dixon 'A Messenger'. Loving that album :-)

Beach Curls

Time and time again I try to curl my hair. I braid it, sleep on my braids, wake up and take it out. Then my hair is either super frizzy, the curl didn't hold at all, or my curls look like sticks. I can't do a thing with a curling iron (they just never work for me), and my hair ends up with a weird flop or some other thing. 

Finally, I have found a way to conquer my hair problems. and I am HAPPY ! The video below finally showed me how to make my hair work! It was so much easier, and it was over in 30 minutes, and my hair held forever. I highly recommend you try this. I have the straightest hair in the world, so I'm highly shocked it worked on me. This photo is proof my hair worked:

 And this video will make your hair work too. I hope ;)

Spring Time Nail Polish

I thought I'd do a post on the way I love to do my nails during spring. This is one of my favorite ways.

I really like doing my nails like this for several reasons. It's easy to do, and perfect for spring!

First paint your nails coral. Other spring colors like light violet, pinks, yellows, and spring green could also work for this look.

Once your nails are dry, make messy white dots on the tip with a fine nail brush. 

Top with a coat of clear.

And you're done! To get specific, these are the exact colors I used:

Brash - White nail polish with fine line art brush

Sinful Colors - Hazard - 952 

Have an awesome day everyone!
