HAPPY NAILS!!!

Ever since I was a little girl I have ALWAYS liked to have my nails done. It is the weirdest habit I have. (well maybe not the weirdest) I just love the look of fake nails. I don't have pretty nails so the fake nails make me feel like they are pretty. I just love the look of them.

In college I use to get them done once in a while, when I was sad or for something special. But now that I have a real job I get them done all the time.

In Logan the place I use to get my nails done at was called HAPPY NAILS. My sisters and I always talk about my "happy nails" they say it brings me happiness. I think they are right. I seriously just love them.

For my wedding I want everyone to have HAPPY NAILS... Including my sister MJ who has never gotten fake nails before. She will for me!!!

HAPPY NAILS!!!

Just a random thought I was having today.

Chicago... It's me EMO!!!

Last weekend my parents, two sisters, and I experienced the "windy city" and boy was it WINDY. Chicago is like New York City meet Washington DC. I LOVED it!

My parents and I flew out at 8:50 Friday morning. We checked into our hotel and went down to the pier. It was a BEAUTIFUL day in Chicago and I was so lucky to be there with my parents.

That night we watched Blind Side in our room. LOVE that movie. KA got in that night and met us for ice cream.

Saturday morning my dad had meeting so KA, My Mom, and I went to the top of the Sears building. Fifth tallest building in the world. VERY cool to see out all over Chicago.

On the top of the building they have this ALL glass look out. It was SO scary. but we did it...

We shortly found ourselves at H&M. We found great deals, of course.

We went to an amazing pizza place for Chicago pizza----- I forgot what the place was called, but it was GOOD!!! :)

We met up with my dad and went to rent bikes. This is one of my VERY FAVORITE things to do in big cities. We rode for an hour.

Saturday night we went to dinner with the school board. WE love them. MJ met us that night (she came later because she was at a wedding.) We went to the Cheesecake Factory and I think I found my new favorite dish. I LOVE that place.

Across the street was the American Girl Doll store--- We were little girls again. I remember how much I loved my sweet little Kristen. She was my best friend for years. I love that store. I can't believe they are still VERY popular.

Sunday morning we went to church. After I met up with one of my VERY best friends I met in Florida. I have not seen her since we left. It is amazing to me that even though it has been a year and a half, we just picked up right where we left off. I love my little sissy! We went to lunch.

Sunday afternoon we went to the "Sundae Sunday." The Utah schools get together for Sundae on Sunday afternoon. Great ice cream and great company. I love the people my dad has the chance to work with.

We took our time walking back and just enjoyed the city! I loved it!

Monday morning we went back to H&M. We went on a hour long boat tour of the city learning about all the buildings. The reason I loved it.... Remember the movie My Best Friends wedding (my favorite movie) it is filmed in Chicago. They ride on the boat, MY FAVORITE SCENE of the WHOLE MOVIE!!! we were on that boat... I would like to think it is the very same one! :)

We flew out later that afternoon. I of course cried leaving my two sisters. I miss them so much.

Thanks for the amazing weekend Mom and Dad. You're the best!

I have a BIG girl crush on Ingrid Michaelson!!! Seriously I love this girl! I love her MUSIC. She is the best! I am pretty sure I would be friends with her if I knew her! She is the BOMB.COM!

I love you Ingrid!!!!

DUKE!!!!

Dear Coach K,

Congratulations on winning last night! I LOVE your basketball program. I couldn't be happier about it. I was watching in my DUKE shirt and all. I have always been a fan and probably always will be a fan. I am planning on visiting the campus this summer. Do you think you could be there to meet me? I would just love that! :)

One of my dreams in life is going to a Duke vs North Carolina, do you think you could get me tickets to that? Wow I am asking a lot. BUT I JUST LOVE DUKE!!! Oh do you think you could get one for my little brother? He is your number one fan...

Congrats again!

This was charlie in College...

Deals just find me...

I am being serious I can't get away from it. . . Shopping deals just find me!!! I LOVE to shop! I don't know what it is about it but i love it! I have been told by many people that their best shopping experiences is when I am with them? The deals just find me. :)

My sisters and I like to play this game... How much is the outfit you are wearing? I usually win with my outfit being around 20-30 dollars. (lately now that I have to be more professional I have learned to spend a little more on clothing). I just find the deals.

Well last night was no expectation. I was at my parents house and my mom had the bright idea to take the kids to Wal-Mart to get swimming suites. All six of us piled in the car and we were on our way. After successfully finding the kids swimming suites we were back in the car. My mom says "well do you want to go to Old Navy?" (I personally think she was a little bored and wanted to get out of the house). "Ofcourse I do"

Well we walk in and I knew something was looking for me. I went over to the jeans (I usually HATE Old Navy jeans... but lately I have really liked this kind "the flirt?" so I went to check it out. The last pair I bought were 12 dollars so you never know). My mom and the kids went over to see if they liked any of the swimming suite better than the ones they found at Wal-Mart.

My mom called me and said "get over to the sale area you are going to love this?"

Walk over and the worker says "Everything on this wall is $0.97..."

WHAT????

I didn't believe her. I had to ask her three times to really believe her.

Well needless to say I walk out of Old Navy with 8 pairs of shoes and a purse... Total... 10 dollars!!! did you hear me... EIGHT PAIRS OF SHOES!!!! What can I say... The deals just find me...

Smells!

As I was getting ready this morning I was thinking about the things I put on to make me "smell" better. weird thought process I know :) we use at least (well we should use) two things on to make us "smell" better. (deodorant and toothpaste) Weird that we do this? Have you ever thought about it? Well I did this morning so you might in the future.

Anyways, I think that it is weird but I love all the things I use. These are my top five things I use to make me "smell" better in my process to get ready in the morning! This is all after I use cucumber melon shower gel. LOVE THAT STUFF!

#1 True Aggie Chapstick!!! (yes I am a true aggie just in case you were wondering! ) I love this stuff. I will probably order it for the rest of my life because I LOVE IT!!! If you haven't used it you should.

#2 I will admit... I didn't have this item for a couple days so I had to use Tess's (thanks girl) but I love the smell of secret deodorant!!! Just like it says "a solid that goes on clear." (how does it do that?) Thank you secret for making me smell better everyday!!!

#3 I LOVE LOVE LOVE my new perfume!!! the BEAT by burberry. I went to Vegas last weekend... I guess I never blogged about that? (I will someday) I got it then and LOVE this stuff! It was worth what I paid for it!!! :)

#4 Crest toothpaste. I LOVE the feeling of brushing my teeth. there is nothing better.

#5. I ALWAYS have gum! we all need gum around eleven in the morning! I love orbit because it last SO long and makes my breath smell good! Costco has a great pack! :) FYI

Random things I am grateful for! Think about what you use. It is kinda interesting...
