High Five for Friday

I've literally haven't done this in forever, but I thought it would be fun since this will be the end of my first full week of student teaching (did I mention how excited I am to sleep in this weekend?).

1. To my shock my cooperating teacher asked me to teach this week. I know that might sound a little strange, but I didn't expect to start teaching for another week. So I've taught social studies (mostly maps and geography) all week and survived. And starting Monday I teach social studies and math, which is kind of scary.

2. Finding new combinations for my teacher clothes. It's kind of hard, but I love wearing some old favorites like my chunky mint sweater (so warm) and my Scottie dog tank (everything I love in one shirt).

 

3. Celebrating my 4.0 GPA from last semester(!!!!!!!!) with my family at my all-time favorite restaurant. See, while I was not blogging last semester I was doing something productive at least haha. I was so full after dinner!!

4. My little shopping spree I went on. I needed that big time.

5. This is definitely a bittersweet thing, but I'm relieved that my guinea pig, Ruffles doesn't have to endure any more pain. Sadly this week she passed away. Over the last couple of weeks I could definitely see a decline in her health and it broke my heart to see her not like herself. I miss her terribly already (guinea pigs are seriously the best). But I'll never ever forget the amazing three years she spent with us after being a rescue guinea pig.

High Five For Friday

Hi guys!

I hope you all had a great first week of June! Here are my top five highlights of the week!

1.      This week marked midterms for my summer school classes. Only three more weeks left! It also marks my first 100% on a math quiz in pretty much forever. Yay!!

2.    Wearing some new clothes. I’m obsessed with these tees from Urban Outfitters.

 

3.    Getting to see my boyfriend this week was amazing! Any time with him makes me so happy!

 

4.    Loving my Summertime S’mores candle still! I’m obsessed with it. It smells so sweet and like my all-time favorite dessert!

 

5.    Painting my nails my all-time favorite color, Essie’s Chinchilly. This color always makes me so happy!

 

 

I've had a pretty awesome week! How about you? What were your five highlights of the week!

High Five For Friday

Hey there!

I hope you’ve had a great week! I know I’m kinda sad to see this week end. It means snow (this weekend it’s supposed to not be so spring-ish), being back at school (can it be summer already? Nevermind, can I graduate already? I’m so done.), and getting back to the same chaotic routine that I call my life. I’m not exactly in the best mood, if you can’t tell haha. It's one of those times of year that I'm dreading the grind of school, I'm hating how busy my life is, and disliking the distance between my boyfriend and I. But anyway, this week has been amazing. Here are some highlights.

High Five For Friday

Hey guys!

I hope that you all had a great week! Today my spring break starts and it also marks the warmest day of the year so far (70s!). So there is a lot to be excited about! Here are my top five highlights from the past week! Let me know what your favorite moments have been!

High Five for Friday

Hey guys!

Just one more week until spring break! I think I can make it, but we’ll see. Here are the highlights from the past week!

 

1.    Last weekend I made my first ever trip to a Lilly Pulitzer store. This was huge for me. I love Lilly (even though I can hardly afford to buy anything there). And the nearest store is hundreds of miles away. I picked up this scarf to mark the occasion, and I love it!

2.  Falling in love all over again with Essie’s Chinchilly. I can’t get enough of this color.

3.   Getting to spend a day with my boyfriend to celebrate our 18^th month anniversary. Of course at Red Robin.

4.   Wearing outfits you genuinely love. I wore several of those this week, and nothing is a better confidence boost.

5.  Passing a midterm and a lesson plan that I thought I would both fail massively (I got a 100% on the midterm! I was shocked!)

So what were your highlights of the week? Are you looking forward to anything?  

High Five For Friday

Hey everyone!

This week the posts have been a little on the non-existent side because it was my first week back from Christmas break. It was definitely busy, so I’m glad I get this three day weekend to recover. Here is my High Five for Friday!

High Five For Friday

 

What have been your highlights of the week?

High Five For Friday

It’s the Friday before Christmas! I still am so little kid like around Christmas. You could probably tell from the massive amounts of Christmas things that have bombarded my daily life.

1.    Christmas music never grows to bore me. I could listen to it all year. Particularly the Christmas Song. Love it!

2.   Um, have I mentioned my Christmas pillows? Oh I did? Three other times? Well, how about a fourth? I love them, and may even be teary when they have to hibernate here in a week or so.

 

3.   Getting to see my boyfriend. Christmas without him is tough. But I plan on spending the two days I have with him packed full of Christmas stuff. Christmas movies, gingerbread men baking, Christmas light looking, and maybe even a picture with Santa?

4.   Christmas lights brighten my spirit so much. When people start putting them away, it makes me so sad, so I’ve been making an effort to enjoy this week looking at them!

5.   Twisted Peppermint is my new favorite Christmas scent. Hands down. It’s in my car, my room, and my shower, and I still can’t get enough. 

What things have brightened your week?

High Five For Friday

1.    The perfect fall weather! I love the gray skies, the falling leaves, the Caramel Pumpkin Spice Lattes, riding boots, and scarves. I wish fall would never end!

2.  Red nails! So perfect for fall, bold, classic, and just plain beautiful! Revlon’s Red Carpet is the perfect red shade for me!

3.  Riding boots! I’ve been searching for a pair that would actually fit my calves (I’m abnormal, I have the calves the of a size 8 shoe and feet the size of a girls’ 3!). So much fun to participate in this pretty fall trend!

 

4.   Bath and Body Work’s Sweet on Paris shower gel! Not at all fall scented, but a new obsession! How did I not notice this amazing scent earlier?!

Sweet on Paris

5.  New block letters for my sorority! Nothing is better than Vera Bradley letters!

 

 

Any highlights this week for you? I'd love to hear!

 



High Five for Friday

It's been awhile since I've taken the time to highlight the top five highlights of my week, so here is my High Five for Friday!!

1. The most thoughtful, amazing, sweet anniversary presents from my boyfriend! Seriously, I have no clue how someone can be as creative as him. And my roses have brightened my mood all week! I'm the luckiest girl in the world!

2. My chapter's 27 new members! It's so nice to have new faces and I'm so proud of my sisters and how hard they worked during recruitment. Plus, I'm really happy to have the stress of recruitment over with!

3. Going home!! It's so nice to go home and see my family.

4. My new ELF eyelash curler. For only $2, I got this cute eyelash curler from Target. Mine has a leopard print on it, and I absolutely love it! And it's working just as great as my MAC curler right now too!

5. Starbucks, for being with me no matter what! Seriously, how else can a girl get through school and sorority recruitment without a Pumpkin Spice Latte?

What has been the highlight of your week? Enjoy your weekend!

High Five for Friday!

It's Friday again, so that means it's time for the High Five for Friday!

 
1. Tomorrow is move-in day at the sorority house! I'm a little nervous, excited, and can't believe that I'm about to start my junior year of college! Ahhh, when did I get so old!!

2. My trip to Sephora I took yesterday! I don't see how anyone could ever not like that place. I think I spent over an hour in there, messing around with all the makeup. After all that testing and playing, I picked up two things that I've been eyeing for quite some time: Philosophy's I Love Candy Corn 3-1 Cleanser and Tarte's Smooth Operator tinted moisturizer. I'm in love with the smell of the Candy Corn! If you haven't already noticed, fall scents are my weakness, and this is one of them (although it had some serious competition with the Cozy Cabin gift set, that Pumpkin Spice Late scent is AMAZING!).

{Isn’t the packaging of the Candy Corn adorable?! I can’t get over it!}

3. Fast shipping! I was so worried that the new (and super affordable) cute bedding I bought last Saturday wouldn't arrive in time before I moved. However, it came only five days after I ordered it! From Canada! Isn't that damask cute, though?! I can't wait to see it on my bed! (this bedding shows that there's been a slight change of plans in the decor of my room this fall, so stay tuned haha).

4. This dottie bin from Hobby Lobby. How adorable is this? And I got it for like $12.50, half off! This is either going to store textbooks or snacks in my room.  

5. Some new school clothes! This has been collectively building, but of all the things I've bought, this lace dress has been my favorite! I needed a black dress for sorority recruitment, and when I spotted this one, I fell in love! And because it was only $25 (for an ALL lace dress!!), I actually bought a white one too, for sorority rituals as well! This just in...it's currently, at the time of right now, on sale for $20!! Click your way over to Target, because that is a deal!

 

Hope you have a great weekend! Wish me luck for moving in tomorrow! And for all of next week, which is my sorority’s work week!

High Five for Friday!

Hey everyone!

Hope this week has been fantastic! For me it's been pretty good! Here are my top five highlights this week!

1. Yesterday I braved crowds of thousands to see President Obama talk. It was a great experience and definitely energizing, even if I did only see just his head twice.

2. A great trip to Santa Fe last Saturday. It was a ton of fun walking around and getting to be a tourist. Plus, the restaurant we ate at was amazing!

3. I'm so excited about my Vera Bradley large duffel! That was a great deal and it's going to be so useful on weekends this school year.



{It isn't always snowy there...trust me}

4. I have just one week until I move in to my sorority house. This one is kinda bittersweet. The summer has gone by so fast, despite how long it's been (I got out on April 30th). Unlike the previous two years, the level excitement to go back isn't really there, and I'm not so sure why.

5. I get two days of seeing my boyfriend! It's been two weeks since we last saw each other, so we are long overdue. Plus, tomorrow is our 11 month (hey, it's about eleven times longer than my longest relationship haha), so that should be fun to celebrate!

Friday High Five

So sorry that this is coming Friday night!

1.) Tomorrow I take my first trip out of the state of Colorado. Yes, I know. I'm almost 21 and I've never left the state. Kinda sad. But tomorrow I'm going down to Santa Fe to help my brother move back to Colorado, so it should be fun! I can't wait.

2.) Today marks the first day of the Parade of Homes. I love interior design (as you all should know) and architecture, so it's always a highlight of my summer for me!

3.) Since August officially started on Wednesday, it also marks the time when my family deems it "back to school shopping time." Already I've picked up some fun stuff that I can't wait to use (and can't wait to blog about here in the coming days. I love picking out stuff, even as simple as shampoo for back to college. It's a total fresh start that I absolutely love.

4.) Tarte's Lights Camera Lashes! A few weeks ago I cashed in my Sephora Beauty Insider Points (or whatever it's called) for a sample size of this mascara. Well, I forgot about it. However, earlier this week, I tried it out, and I fell in love. I've used it every day since, and I can say with certainty, that it's my new mascara love. I'll have a full review of it coming soon too!

 Funny moment today at Ulta as I was buying my full size edition. This lady walks up (she was just a fellow customer too) and tells me how Tarte is the BEST makeup brand. She then shows my mom and me every product that she owns, uses, and loves. But I'm glad that she has found stuff that works and I definitely want to try out more of their products!

5.) Having my bangs trimmed! Seriously, I didn't realize just how long my bangs had been.

Hope you all had a great Friday and a fantastic weekend!

High Five For Friday

So I decided to start writing the top five things of the week, something that was start by Lauren (From My Grey Desk).

1.) Getting to see my boyfriend on Wednesday! I'm not doing so well in settling into a long distance relationship thing (although we're only about 70 miles apart). So gettting to see him was pretty much the highlight of the week. We ate at McDonald's (fancy, I know haha) and went swimming. So much fun! I miss him so much!

2.) My new nail polish. I love Pinterest and this color has been all over the place this summer. When I saw it at Ulta yesterday, I knew it had to be mine!

{China Glaze--Flip Flop Fantasy}

3.) It's all about the little things and simple pleasures, and let's just say I love doing laundry. I know, weird. But I loved it even more this week because of Tide's Pods. So fun to use, smell amazing, and leave my clothes so clean. Just make sure that you leave them up high, since they are definitely not candy! I love the Spring Meadow scent!

{Source}

4.) My dorm stuff came from PB Teen! Don't worry, I'll have a post on it later, so you can see all the goodies I got. But when I saw the boxes had come, I was seriously beside myself!

5.) The other highlight of the week definitely was all the other things that came in the mail for me! First, for some odd reason, Victoria's Secret has my dad's birthdate on record, so he always get's the $10 off  a purchase. Well, understandably, he has no use for anything there, so I get it! I also got Target's Back to Campus book this week (like the Sears Wishbook for Christmas when I was little!). Seriously, the ads from Target are the highlight of the year for me!

So hope you all have a great Friday! What highlights did you all have this week?
