Mardi Gras

Ce n'est pas mardi gras aujourd'hui

SO I know today is NOT Mardi Gras but it happens to be one of my favorite holidays!

My dad went to NOLA for work and was able to see the Muses and Chaos parades. I love the colors of Mardi Gras and I have always wanted to go to New Orleans and see the parades. My dad brought home a TON of beads and plenty of stories.

Doesnt it look like so much fun? Lent is starting and Im thinking to give up soda...It will be very hard for me because I love diet coke and sprite but I am going to stick with water, tea, coffee, and other non carbonated beverages. It will be interesting to see how long this lasts. I am usually not very good at these things..oh well..

Peace and Love

High School

So I havent posted in a while and there are many reasons why...

but I am just going to give an update on what has been going on since my last post. I have been patiently waiting to hear from TCU but of course recently in the news that have been recieving some bad press. Not so great news and its helping me decide where I want to go next year. Nevertheless, I will visit the school anyway. Clemson is still a top pick and the academic scholarship really is tempting...

(Im kinda late but...)

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY

the day before valentines day I went to a fashion show that I get to go to every year..

I am a junior hostess and the fashion show is given for the American Heart Associations Women's Board. The event is called An Affair of the heart. It is a wonderful luncheon and a lot of very well known people attend. My job was mainly to help collect donations and show people around. The fashion show this year was for Saks Fifth Avenue Best of Spring

Plenty of women wearing red/pink/purple for the occasion

The event was held at the JW Marriott downtown and the Marriotts are very generous for this event. The Marriotts actually live in my neighborhood and I have seen them many times while walking my dog. But anyway..the event also features a raffle which had some incredible prizes

1)Trip to St. Thomas

2) Trip to orlando Mariott resort

3) Washington Capitals club seats

4)Nationals Presidents box seats

5)Wardrobe cleansing

6) teeth cleaning/ laser whitening

and many more...

All in all a very successful day and I think that Valentines Day is a great day to celebrate the heart. No, I didnt have a Valentine today but I think if you care about someone it should be everyday that you tell them how you feel...

Peace and Love

ACCEPTANCE

yesterday evening I had the wonderful pleasure of being accepted to Clemson University!!!

I am not sure that I am going, however, they offered me an out of state scholarship that was very generous....

SO if I did end up at Clemson I would need to load up on some swag...

Some Norts...(Nike shorts)

A performance shirt to run in

Crewneck sweatshirt

(even though they lost) ORANGE BOWL BABY

Kind of a classic...and I prefer the purple to the orange

There is something pretty cute about these

And I really love shortsleeve pocket shirts (pocket on the front and a picture on the back..think guy harvey shirts) I couldnt find a picture but I know that they are out there...

Peace and Love

GO TIGERS!
