If Monday Had A Face, I Would Punch It

Happy finally Tuesday, friends!

Yesterday I had the Mondayest of Mondays that I have ever had, today it is pretty funny, so I had to share some real life stories with y’all because not every day is unicorns and rainbows and that is okay!

My day started off with two finals, after my first one I ran to the ATM to make a deposit…the atm ate my card and refused to spit it out. The bank had to order me a new one and it won’t be here for 5 days (lol) I never realized how much I actually use my card so this might be good for my bank account for a few days. I was then late to my second final, but I made it.

Yesterday afternoon I finally got a little time to myself and my fur baby Tucker. Tuck is only 12 weeks old, so we are still working on potty training. He barked at the door to go outside to potty and y’all… I was SO proud, this is what we have been working towards! We played outside for a little while, he loves to chase leaves. He dug in his normal pile of leaves and I figured he was having a blast chewing on big acorns like normal, I picked him up and he had poo allllll over his face (I am certain it was his own) I had no words, so I held him out to take him inside to clean up, I didn’t take one step and he had sneezed and blown poo all over my face… then I truly had no words ha ha. It was definitely my first disgusted mother moment. Don’t worry, I scrubbed myself and him multiple times, he’s still cute…

I was still excited yesterday evening because I had won an auction of an elliptical on Facebook and Taylor and I were picking it up. We loaded up in the car, picked it up, and got to spend a little time together because it took a hot second to get there. On the way back, I was driving down a curvy backroad when a deer walked out in front of me, I slammed on the breaks as much as I could but the doe did not have any luck. I knew not to swerve, putting our lives and my vehicle in danger. Even as an avid hunter, it broke my heart because I hate to see any animal get hit by a car, much less hit one myself. I shed a few tears and Taylor decided to switch with me because I was a little upset. We decided we would turn around to make sure the deer wouldn’t suffer but I won’t go into details, I noticed a car coming out of a nearby driveway that was flashing lights and honking at us, I figured they were just in a hurry. No, these people were full blown coming after us. We kept driving, they kept chasing us, flashing lights, super close to the bumper, laying on the horn…. talk about something that happens in a crazy movie, I was scared out of my mind! Then I felt worse, they probably thought I hit it on purpose or something. We finally stopped being chased and made it to my house, what an adventure ha ha. The car had nothing on it but a few pieces of hair, it truly was an accident and I still feel terrible but I do know that those things happen pretty often, especially in the country. On the bright side, my new elliptical is pink.

Today I am laughing (not about the dead deer) because everyone has those days, the sun is shining, Christmas music is playing, and most importantly, God is STILL good!

I hope all of you have the best week, if you are a student, good luck on your finals… you got this!

FALL In Love With Wood Watches

This year I am loving all of the dark colors that go with the season, especially anything burgundy or plum colored. During the fall and winter, I tend to wear a lot of black and neutral colors so I am always looking for an accessory or staple piece that adds a pop of color to my wardrobe!

27802208_unknown

JORD wooden watches are the perfect accessory to add to your fall and winter style. I chose this plum color because it completely stands out on my wrist, and all of Jord’s watches are customizable for a quote or engraving if you are getting it as a gift. If you know me, you know that I love all things Cinderella, so my watch is engraved on the back “courage, kindness, and occasionally… just a little bit of magic” These words inspire me each day! My watch is called the “Frankie” in purpleheart and plum, check out my unique watch. It is so easy to match with other jewelry, but adds so much character that I do not have to worry about wearing a ton of other wrist candy! One of my favorite things about my Jord watch is that I can dress it up or down, I wear it when I dress up, but I have also thrown on a tee shirt and cardigan and my Jord watch as well.

Happy Holiday season, friends! I can’t wait to enjoy this beautiful watch for the rest of the season, I love this watch because it doesn’t distract me like my Apple Watch can at times when I am spending time with friends and family. JORD is a blessing!

This olive green color is one of my favorites, it is the color “star moss.” I added a little sparkle with the color “stargazing royalty.”

There are so many colors to choose from, it is impossible to just pick a few! I chose my colors according to the fall season and I am so happy with the way they have all turned out. I am loving the darker colors this fall, and it completely gotten me into the holiday spirit already! Londontown polishes last for days, with no worry of chipping! It is truly impossible to find polishes from your local stores that last for more than a day and do not chip within the first few hours of being painted.

Fall Finds 2018

Hi friends!

Today on the blog I am sharing some of my favorite fall finds for this season. From fashion, accessories, and home decor, fall is one of my favorite times of the year! Oh how I love the smell of it, and all things pumpkin spice. Give me all the candles!

Football season is among us, since I am not cheering anymore, one of my favorite things to do is find cute game day outfits! This little black overall jumper is from Vici Dolls, and is perfect to style so many different ways. Shop Vici Dolls here: Vici Collection. I paired it with a bubble sleeve crop top from Target, I have linked a few similar tops here, all under $20: Red Crop TopBlack & White Crop TopRed Bubble Sleeve Crop Top. I added a pop of red with these Target booties, they are so soft and actually pretty comfortable as well! Shop my exact red booties here:Red Sock Booties Under $40 .  My little red bag is from Tj Maxx and I snagged it for only $20, I just had to have it! I linked a similar small red bag under $20 here: Small Red Bag

One of my favorite things to do in the morning is making my pumpkin spice latte’s at home! Target has Starbucks Coffee pods in pumpkin spice flavor and it is delish! I found this pack on sale for only $9.99! It’s cheaper than buying coffee everyday, and just as good! Also when you make your Target run, be sure to check the dollar section for cute little affordable fall decor, it’s where I get most of mine!
