Beach Hair 101: A new topknot

goldfishkiss:

The beloved topknot. Messy, but at times, blah. Time to spruce it up a bit. A while ago I saw this hairdo…and I finally figured it out (2 days ago). Yup. I found a new go-to messy ‘do for summer. 

The upside down french braid keeps your neck cool but gives you volume, and hey, anytime you can incorporate a braid into a your hair is a good thing.

So here you go. Give it a whirl…

Wednesday Wishes

I wish that…

• My laundry would fold itself….
• sleeping had the same effect as shampoo… 
• water was easier to drink
• orange juice wasn’t so delicious…
• blog posts were easier to write
• That more days were like today… productive, insightful, beautiful. 

The dream life

I think I am living the dream life. Get up by noon, cook whatever sounds good, work a great job, hang out with friends until late. For the first time IN MY ENTIRE LIFE, I am not looking forward to summer break….

Catch Up

I have finished school (I think- my science class still makes me a little worried) and now it is time to catch up

• Cleaning. My room is a complete disaster. I have three weeks worth of once clean clothes on the floor, just waiting to be picked up. 
• Cleaning. My car is filthy and for some reason I care….weird
• Time with friends. I have abandoned my friends for the fickle mistress of homework and now I must regain their trust and time. To be honest, I didn’t want to leave them, but homework is a cruel and demanding mistress.
• Sleep. (see the reason above)
• Time with the boyfriend (see the reason above the one above)

Here is to hoping that by this time next week, my life will be a new normal!!!!

Sighs.

Life is so stresseful at the moment. I am ending every other text with “sigh.” But the Lord has been gracious and has continually reminded me that I am not alone. I have really began to count my blessings and every day I end my day with a sigh of contentment. The Lord is good. 

I have about a week and a half left. Sorry for the silence. It will be over soon and you might find yourself wishing I was back in school….

The Last Night

Tonight is the last night I sleep in my bed at my parents house for quite a while. Tomorrow I move to a new (to me) house. I take on paying for my own food and internet, cooking, and growing up. I say goodbye to seeing my family 5 times a week. 

I can’t say I’ll never live with my parents again (sorry Mom and Dad), but I can say that this is the right thing to do. I can say hello to being on my own (but lets be honest, I don’t have a washing machine at my new place, so I’ll be home at least once a week).
