I know I haven't posted recently, I'm sorry :( I've been soo busy with my new job, as a nanny. So I figured since I've been too busy to update you then, I must now! Well, here are a few lil' bits of what I've been up too, and what's been on my mind! yayy!

<3

I wanted to start on my spring adventure List! So, I'm off on my mini road trip! 

This riot of a gal, is my best friend, and sister for life- Elizabeth Ann. We've been friends since middle school, and this girl has been there by my side through all the ups and downs of life. We battled our teenage years together, and even though her and I are a lot different, we're one and the same. From church choir to highschool swim team, our friendship has been full of inside jokes, and adventures. Which is exactly what this weekend entails! And here we go!

When our adventure begins.   

Liz lives a good few hours away from me, so I rarely get to see her anymore, which stinks, but we haven't drifted a bit! Well, because of this factor, Liz will be coming down a day earlier than when we leave ( 20th ) To prep and get ready. We'll be leaving my house, in our band van, and headed to a show in Ann arbor where we will be serenaded by the incredible Josiah Leming- a definite favorite of mine. ( I'm really looking forward to finally meeting this kid, haha. ) and then, as always, finding a walmart/meijer, grabbing food, and spending the whole night making memories. 

This is our darling, Big Mama, she's our pride and joy! Liz and I have taken this baby and completely cleaned this dollface out, and filled it with love, and a hint of comfort. This next weekend, we're hoping to do a lot more remodeling/ decorating to our baby, and get here all cleaned up for our trip!

These are just a few pictures we found for inspiration!

You bet on your life you will ALWAYS hear these words from Liz& I. It's always a battle, but we've definitely spent enough hours pouring over our tumblr's,  pinterests, and polyvores, to have atleast an idea! And that's exactly what I'll be sharing with you guys! Depending on the weather that weekend- it looks dim : / but we're keeping our hopes up, and keeping summer in our heads! We'll be sticking to our gypsy shorts, and wavy hair. I'll do my best to give you all, a feel, for what Liz and I are gunning for. Here goes!

We want to be ourselves, of course, and like I said before- Liz and I can be very different. She has a lot more flame and edge than I do, so she'll probably be leaning toward her studs and prints, and I'll stick to me, and my laces, and softer tones. We're your group of modern day hips, for sure. We'll see how it turns out!--

Liz and I are known for our edge and understanding of Hair and Makeup. If a friend has a date/prom/photo session? we're on speed dial. We've doddled in cosmetology since gradeschool, it feels like, so when it comes to OCD in make up& hair? That's us. 

This next weekend, we're planning to lean on the more natural side. Lot's a bold browns, and golds. If we add color, it'll be subtle, but knowing me- I know I'll be keeping it as simple as possible. 

When it comes to hair- Liz and I love our natural waves and curls. We'll definitely be sporting some kind of hippy, curl, braid set. Nothing complicated, again, something simple.

 

Few examples of the makeup.

Very simple, yet enhancing the natural beauty.

Soft. Simple. Sweet.

 

And again, simple natural waves, braids, 

and some fun feathers and ribbons!

Liz and I, have a friendship that revolves around our jam sessions. We're always singing. constantly. And Roadtrips are definitely perfect for that special playlist! Liz and I have odd tastes in music, so our mesh of music can be quite funny indeed. We'll have a perfect ( & unique ) mix of mostly 70s/80s hits, pick and choosy Country, hella' lot of Etta James, Frank Sinatra, and oddly enough Michael Jackson. We jump around in our music, but one things for sure- if it doesn't make you want to sing along, or dance? you won't be hearing it! 

Songs you'll definitely hear;

• I love Rock n' Roll --by Joan Jett, and the Blackhearts
• Man in the Mirror--by Michael Jackson
• I want to know what love is--by Foreigner
• Anyway you want it--by Journey
• Sweet Child of Mine--by Guns and Roses
• Jessies Girl--by Rick Springfeild
• At Last--by Etta James
• Eye of the Tiger--by Survivor
• The Time of My Life--by Bill Medly

honestly the list goes on.

I'll do another update post tomorrow, this one Mini Roadtrip post, was much bigger than I figured, haha. I hope you all enjoyed it! I'll definitely post picture of Big Mama's makeover, and ours, when the time comes!

I love you all!

Just an update BUT--I'm a Nanny! Today started my new job of being a Nanny, to a darling 2 year old, Charlotte. My cousin Michael moved back to Michigan, with baby Char, and needed a new nanny for the next 2 months before she moves back to Cali. I jumped at the offer, of course, and I am loving it! This curly headed baby, is a natural princess, and a dainty diva. She's got buckets of personality, and has already explained her love for our new friendship, and that someday; "I has pinktt' pwincess hair like you!" Sigh, I'm so happy, and I'll keep you all updated on our everyday adventures. I'm so excited.

I love you all!

Get a few of your friends together and check out your local Zoo! you can pack a lunch and spend the day seeing some fun, and exotic animals!--

Take a Bike Ride! find a destination a couple of miles away, ( e.g. Park, Ice Cream shop, etc. ) and take a nice long ride, and enjoy to fresh new weather!--

You'll need a few more friends for this, but I absolutely love scavenger hunts! Make a list of crazy, places to go, things to do, stuff to get, and see which team can complete the list faster! The losers can buy the winners dessert or something!--

Put on a goofy spring fashion show! Head to a nearby thrift store, and put together some crazy outfits, then strut it out with your friends! it's a goofy, fun way to spend your day!--

Take a day to relax at your local family friendly park. Pack a big picnic and spend the day enjoying the weather and some good clean fun.--

This has always been a favorite of mine! Every spring, my friends and I have a contest building kites then we have a flying face off at the beach!--

Take a mini roadtrip one weekend! book a hotel, make the perfect playlist, pack your bags, and run away! it's nice to take a break and explore somewhere new, even if its only an hour away!--

 Get a group of daring friends together, and all dress up as your favorite super heroes! You can go to public places, and do little acts like opening doors for people, &picking up trash. Save the Day!--

SO much more fun than a water balloon fight! fill up balloons with different paints, get ready, aim, and fire! You can even have 2 teams with specific colors. Whichever team is less covered in paint wins!!--

During all your spring adventures, take the time to record your favorite parts! At the end of your break, slap on that roadtrip playlist and edit all those videos together for a perfect reminder of all your incredible fun times with your friends. Times flies when you're having fun, so be sure to take pictures!! ; )

I hope you all have the most incredible spring adventures!

I love you all!

Hope you all have a lovely Easter!!

Our Story is actually quite silly.

To start- some back up story;

[ Kyle and our friend Justin went to school together back in the day. I later attended highschool with Justin, and there lies the big connection. Well, I introduced my best friend Liz to some people from my school, and thus came about her friendship with Justin. ]

okay, moving on.

Liz and I had a long weekend planned together. After a fashion show in Motown. We were planning on heading to Port Huron to meet up with a few of our close friends, but before we headed out, we had been invited to stop by and hangout with Justin, who was currently living/staying with his friend [ Kyle ] and wanted us to say hello. Liz told our ride up north, to meet us at this house, our problem was, we were running late after the show and made it to Kyle's about the same time our ride did. We literally walked through the doors, waved hello, and walked out. Liz grabbed a few slices of pizza, thinking we'd be there awhile, and I quickly scanned the room out of awkwardness, honestly. The only person I knew, other than Liz, in this house full of random people, was Justin, who was busy chatting with her anyway. I spotted Kyle in the corner of my eye- he was topless, wearing red sweatpants, with a slice of pizza in one hand, and a puppy in the other. He had [ still has ] this stupid dirty blond mop of a mohawk, that for some odd reason, I actually found attractive. I remember shifting my eyes to Liz who read my mind, and winked. For being someone so far from my type his first impression was a solid 8.5 for me, and that's a real highscore, aha. 

We all introduced ourselves, and Kyle, headed down to the basement, while I bonded with all the puppies running around. [ animals are much easier to socialize with than normal people, let's be honest. ] 

Like I said before, we were there for merely minutes, before our ride showed up, and we then went on our way. 

When the weekend came to an end and we were nearing the end of Sunday night, we packed our things, and planned on heading home. Turns out- instead of heading home, we were invited back by Justin, who told us Kyle and him were bored and wanted company. I, only knowing Kyle as the mohawk boy in red sweatpants, didn't think anything of it. We finally arrived back at the house around 2 am, Justin was wide awake waiting for us, but Kyle had given up on waiting and ran up to his room to catch up on some lost rest. Liz and Justin were at it again with their flirty inside jokes, so I proceeded to find my friendly company. Justin had mentioned which room he was in, so I went off looking. After climbing to the top of the stairs, I plopped down, Indian style in front of the locked door, and began to knock and yell Kyle's name obnoxiously. I was exhausted and wanted to fall over. Justin and Liz joined me at the top of the stairs, and after Justin threatened to knock the door down, Kyle decided to get up and unlock it for us. I hopped up on the big bed and began to snuggle with Kyle's Great Dane, Dually. We reintroduced ourselves and began to chat about utter nonsense. Anything that came to mind in quaint conversation came out. All that I really remember about that night was a long talk, and than warm spooning. Liz had been nagging me to get it on, due to me just getting out of a relationship and desperately in need of an emotional rebound, so both justin and liz were disappointed by our lack of intimacy. I think we both knew our connection ran a lot deeper than a one night stand of highschool makeout sessions.  There was something about Kyle I didn't quite understand, and mystery was all I wanted. From that day on, Kyle and I hadn't spent more than a day or two apart. We were so incredibly different from eachother, and that drove that beginning attraction. It was a completely new experience.

As time went by those difference became more of an issue than it did a blessing. Our thinking began to conflict, and thus sprouted the beginning to our arguments. Despite the conflict, name calling, and constant nag on nag, we've grown closer and closer. When I think about my relationship with Kyle, I may not be able to brag about how 'cute' we are, or how well our personalities mesh, but I can say this- Kyle and I have the most authentic relationships I've ever been in. It's more than vivid, it's real. Its not sugarcoated with and fairytale ideal, rather stripped down to the core of relationships are all about. Trust, Joy, and Love. -but when I say trust, I don't mean, when you fall I trust you to catch me, Trust as in, I fell, you didn't catch me, but I'm willing to do it again, because I trust you. When I say Joy, I don't mean, when life is fantastic and you're happy because of it, Joy as in, when life's in the gutter, but you choose to wear a smile, because no matter what, your circumstances shouldn't affect your positive outlook. And when I say love, I don't mean that gooshy feeling at the pit of your stomach, but when the feelings aren't there, and you choose to treat the person right because love is an ability. It is an action. 

I love Kyle because he's not perfect, and I know no one is-but hear me out. Kyle is confident in his imperfections. [ a little too confident at times ] but he has an essence about him that draws me to want to be the woman by his side. He may have the mind of a boy, but he has the heart of a man. That young man has my heart, and I trust him with it. I love Kyle Beauchemin, I truly have been blessed. 

And that's our story- as of now, aha.

I love you all.

I'm treating my man to a run away surprise beach trip down south, and I can't decide which swimsuit to wear. I always mix and match and it's become an overwhelming task, haha. I figured; Hey! I'll ask my darlings what they think. They're numbered 1-7(right to left) Leave a comment below on what YOU think I should wear : )

Thank you guys for your help!

love you all!
