Weekend re-cap

Happy Sunday afternoon! Have ya'll had a good weekend? I definitely have! Friday night we stayed in, cooked dinner, and watched a movie. I'm usually so exhausted  by Friday that all I want to do is put on my comfy clothes and curl up on the couch. Saturday morning we got up and had breakfast at Panera. Yum! Afterwards we went to the pumpkin patch to pick out the pumpkins we want to carve! I was so excited! I love all of the cliche fall activities :) After the pumpkin patch we came home to watch the Arkansas v. Auburn game. I don't even want to talk about that one. There were some BAD calls made during that game. It was very frustrating. Ugh! Anyway, moving on from that... after the game we got ready and Gabe took me out on a date. He knew I was so upset after the game there were major tears shed on my part so he took me to a nice dinner to get my mind off it. My date night outfit:
Jeans: Seven for All Mankind- Dojo, Shirt- The Limited, Jacket- Express

We rented a few movies after dinner and settled in with a bottle of wine. Today we slept in and did some grocery shopping. We're so exciting, I know! :) But it was the perfect weekend. I enjoy these relaxing, boring weekends so much more than busy ones. I'm on fall break this week so no school for me! But that just means I get to work more. Is there no end to this?!?!

A few other random tidbits:
- I ordered my cap and gown for graduation  last Thursday!! Two months until my college career is finally over!! (for now that is. Grad school maybe?)
- I already love Real Housewives of Beverly Hills! What did ya'll think? Kyle Richards is my favorite so far. Can I please have her hair?!
- I really wish we had some real fall weather going on here. The highs are still in the mid to upper 80s and I'm sick of it!
- I have class with a girl who wears massive bows on her head. Like a jumbo version of what babies wear. I'm considering taking a secret picture of these bows every day so ya'll can laugh with me about this. I seriously don't understand why any grown woman would do that.

That's it for today! I have a pile of laundry that needs my attention. Have a good Sunday evening!

Chanel Mascara- A Review

Happy Wednesday!! We're halfway through the week! No Wedding Wednesday today. Instead I wanted to tell ya'll about the mascara I bought this weekend. My usual mascara brands include Christian Dior, Benefit Bad Gal Lash, and every now and then Cover Girl Lash Blast. I was in Nordstrom on Friday and decided to try something new so I went to the Chanel Counter. After talking to the person behind the counter about my mascara needs, I decided on Chanel Inimitable Intense
What they say:
"This technologically advanced formula builds on the success of the original mascara, delivering dramatic effects with a unique brush. The result is a more intense lash look, with the same easy application. Lashes appear longer, thicker and more curled, yet each lash, even the finest, is still precisely separated – without clumping, spiking or flaking"

My thoughts: I love this! The brush was a little different than what I'm used to so I was scared at first. But after I got it on I was very pleased with the results. My lashes looked fuller and definitely longer! It's pretty buildable so I was able to really pile it on for a night out, but it can look very natural with just one coat for daytime. And so far my sensitive eyes have had no problem with it. (keep your fingers crossed!) I would definitely recommend this product. It costs around $30.00

Anyway, I'm spending the rest of my day working on a huge project that's due tomorrow. If anyone is in the Conway area tomorrow from 2-4, feel free to come by UCA and listen to me talk about foodborne illness. Exciting huh? It's really not. Wish me luck though!

Have a good day ya'll!!

Celeb Hair Envy



I've always been a fan of these ladies hair. Lets also add Lauren Conrad to that list.


So I got my hair done yesterday and I'm feeling much better about myself :) Isn't it crazy how something as simple as getting your highlights touched up and cutting an inch off your hair can totally change your mood?
Have a good Tuesday ya'll!!

Weekend in Dallas! Go Hogs!!

So this weekend we headed to Dallas to watch the Hogs take on Texas A&M at Cowboys stadium. We left early Friday morning so we could have some time to shop that afternoon. Not much luck shopping. Gabe and I both found a few things at JCrew but that was about it. I did get some new mascara though! Review coming soon! Saturday we headed to Arlington  for the game. Traffic was terrible!!!! But once we got to Jerry's World we had so much fun!



My sister, me, and Gabe
Excuse the terrible lighting in this picture!
Anyway, the Hogs won!! We didn't play as well as we should have and the score got a little too close for comfort, but it was a win regardless! Next week we take on Auburn and I'm not gonna lie, I'm scared to death!

I hope ya'll had a good weekend!! I'm getting my hair done tomorrow! I'm excited because I've gone 8 weeks without getting it done and that is WAY to long for me.
