21st Birthday!

I turned 21 today and got to have an amazing day filled with great friends and family. I had lunch downtown with some girls from work and ordered my first drink-a mimosa! It was delicious! Then I spent the rest of the afternoon downtown with my mom looking through stores and getting frozen yogurt! I also got to have the traditional dinner at the Mexican restaurant with my family which was awesome-all in all I had a great day!

Inspiration Lately

Just some things i've been inspired by on Pinterest lately and a few things i'm missing right now like cool fall weather and drinking chai tea. Well, either way I still absolutely love the fall season and even though it doesn't really start getting chilly here in Florida until mid-October i'm still planning on getting into the spirit of the season!

The Pink Shell

This weekend I got to have sort of an impromptu mini vacation at this beautiful resort on Fort Myers Beach called the Pink Shell. My dad was there for meetings the whole weekend but me and my mom got to spend some quality time together hanging out by the pool and beach while enjoying the Florida sunshine. The whole weekend was very relaxing and it was almost sad to have to go back to reality on Sunday night. Although it is awesome to realize that all of this is only fifteen minutes away-practically in my backyard!

Little Yellow Flower Dress

I made this dress with the tiny yellow flowers on it a little while ago and am finally getting a chance to put it on my blog. It was so pretty out tonight and just the perfect temperature for the last days of summer...

Daycation: Venice Beach

Some friends and I took a little "daycation" (as we like to call it) to Venice Beach a.k.a the "Shark Tooth" beach on Sunday. I love this beach because you really can find the most interesting shark teeth of all different shapes and sizes if you know how to look. It was a beautiful day and so relaxing. I just love the beach and I would go everyday if I could.

Iv'e Got that Summertime Sadness

This song perfectly describes how I feel today and I have it on repeat.

Hello August

August is here and it's been one awesome summer that has gone by far too fast. It's crazy to think how everyone is going back to school next week here in Florida. I am so excited that August is here though, because in 12 days (I cant believe it!) I will be officially done with my two math courses I have been taking since late June. I do not enjoy math in the least and it will be so relieving to have gotten my math courses done and over with. I think a little celebration needs to be in order (haha). I always have enjoyed this time of the year in Florida though because although it's hurricane season all of the rain and thunderstorms every afternoon make for some very beautiful deep blue skies that I can never quite seem to capture perfectly on camera. Also walking outside in my lanaii I found a little interesting spider (they also come around this time of year) I usually don't like spiders but these ones are really quite unique.

Tennessee Trip

A few weeks ago I was lucky enough to be able to go on an awesome (somewhat surprise, considering I had found out only three days before) trip to Tennessee with my family. We were only there for four days but we got to do some incredible things like ride horses up the side of a mountain without any guides, go river tubing and also climb the third highest mountain in the Smokies to see Rainbow Falls. Well, even though we got completely rained out when we reached the top, it was an awesome memory I will never forget and I already miss it there like crazy. I don't think I could live for long in a place without mountains and the beauty that Tennessee has.
