Good Morning Sunshine!

I finally feel like I am part of this world again! The last few days I have been a bump on a log in my room fighting this awful cold, turned stomach flu, now congestion. Lovely (NOT!) I could only get up to force myself through work and grab the next tissue box I needed. But today I feel MUCH better. I woke up and could breath out of my nose and my mind just started racing with all of the things I've neglected the past few days. So today I have the day off (YAY!) and I am going to spend the day tying up ends and breathing in some fresh air and eating everything in sight because I haven't had much of an appetite the past few days. Here are a few pics of my joyful morning:

Charming Charlie

Quick before I leave for work I wanted to share a fun website with you! It's called Charming Charlie, it is full of great accessories, they have everything from shoes to bags to super cute jewelry! Priced for any type of budget. They have great summer colors! Check it out! Here are a few pieces I love from it:

A Blank Canvas

Today on my break at work I ventured over to hobby lobby in search of small canvas' I found packs of two 8x10's for only $3.99 so I grabbed a few of them, bought some new colors of paint and a new white paint pen. I got home from work and got to crafting, I painted 3 out of the four of sure to what as pictured below. I'm not sure what I want to paint on them just yet so I keep trying things out. One of the best things about painting on a canvas is, it's so easy to paint over things and start over :) Here are a few pictures:

Summer Goals!

Every Summer I like to make goals, however they rarely make it through the summer, so I am going to try again! This time they are simple, ones that make sense and can actually happen...here's the list!

• Have fresh flowers in my room each week
• Work out 3 times a week
• Save money (I fail at this every time)
• Make me time to do crafts 
• Blog everyday :)
• Experiment with cooking more!

It's a good start for now, I will keep you updated on my progress. I have accomplished having flowers in my room for the week! I bought some this morning:

{So pretty}

Perks of being home!

As I said earlier I have moved home for the summer, back to my parents house which I really don't mind. I get to see my puppy everyday, there is always food here and it is always clean, well cleaner than my house at school that is. There are little things I love about being home, here are some one them!

Sephora!

Yesterday my boyfriend and I went to Detroit to stay the night so he could catch an early flight home this morning, on the way we stopped at the 12 oaks mall in Novi, which is a personal favorite of mine! We went into Sephora and I as always fell right back in love, this is the closest one to me and it is an hour away. I browsed around and bought a few things, Joined the rewards program and got a free sample. I got a cleansing pad, which is always recommended to me by my sister Jenny, it is great for digging in deep to pores. I also got a small size of Clinique lotion, I used this a lot in high school and decided to give it a try again!  :)

Let the summer begin!!

I must first apologize for taking a week or so off from posting, I was soooo very busy wrapping up the semester, getting ready for summer and thinking of LOTS of things to blog about in the future. Last week seems like a whole cloud of tests, studying, eating out due to no time to cook and saying goodbye to friends.

I just finished my 4th year of college (with a 4.0 eeek!) and although I'll be taking a victory lap, many of my friends graduated this past weekend! Time flies when you're having fun is no lie! A few of my friends are making big moves and leaving the state. It's impossible to say goodbye to friends you've had since middle school so I prefer see you later! I wish them all the best of luck I know they will do great!

So to sum up my last week here are some highlights:
I took exams, Packed all my stuff to move home, Did a little summer shopping, Went to a going away party, Made some plans for summer, and Sent my boyfriend home to New Jersey for the summer :(

Those of you who don't know my boyfriend Matt is from New Jersey, I met him here at school but he obviously would rather spend summers at home after being away for the year. So it's so of like we are in a half long distance half not relationship which is not easy! But we manage, have for almost 2 years :)

Time to share with you my ideas, plans and thoughts for summer! Stayed tuned!
