~enjoying an iced americano after a great workout at the gym today!
~going to finish studying, shower, and get dolled up for dinner with friends tonight. :)
~later on i need to make a father's day card & hit barnes and noble for a couple gifts.
*hope you have a sensational and exciting saturday!

Oh, and here are my current obsessions right now:Aveda comforting tea
If you haven't yet tried this tea, run to the salon and buy some! It is seriously my favorite out of all of the brands I have tried. I drink green tea daily and have this one at night just to wind down. The peppermint after taste is just amazing--You will love it!

Bare Minerals Hydrating Mineral Veil
Now I'm already a fan of the regular mineral veil and wear it daily with my BM foundation, but I just had to buy this new one when it came out. Well, I have used it over a week now and I like it much better! My skin really doesn't feel as dry. Highly recommended! And, the brush is oh so soft. :)

One last thing! I want to introduce my friend, Cassiday and her entertaining blog. She's awesome and such a sweetheart! Check her out here:

*Lunch Box Friday* =)

I found my old Wizard of Oz lunch box in storage the other day and it reminded me of my school days. :) I'm going to have to take a picture of it once I clean it up. I wish I still had the thermos that went with it.

Here are some other collectibles I thought were cute:
Wonder Woman
Orange Crush
I Love Lucy
WALLE
Annie
Strawberry Shortcake
Coraline
Alice in Wonderland

We are off to get haircuts and have lunch downtown. Have a fantastic Friday!
:~)

-bright and yellow-

A quick post for today since I have bunches to get done!

Lewis surprised me last night with these:
He's so sweet. =)

P.S. I FINALLY worked on and finished my Summer Love album last night. I even started filling in a few pages with clippings I've been saving. It was a lot of fun to make! Tonight I need to buy some ink so I can stamp my girl on the cover. That's the only thing missing.
Here are some photos:
It's almost Friday! xoxo.

.the mid-week sleepies.

Morning!

I woke up around 5:45ish and couldn't really get back to bed. So, I just laid there for a few hours after that tossing and turning. I really hate when that happens. I don't feel satisfied with my amount of sleep now. Why does this happen??

I know! I need an espresso machine!

New Goals for today:
-I MUST take photos...something pretty and inspiring. It's been awhile since I've used my camera. Shock, I know.
-I need to get started on my paper for my online class. Last week I put studying off and paid the price in the end.
-Getting to the post office to mail a package.

I like this....Google

And this is lovely......

found here.
I should make one to hang above my desk.

****I also purchased one of these yesterday:
I think it will be therapeutic for me. I've never had something I could totally destroy for the very purpose of destruction. How awesome!

Good afternoon!

A few confessions...
1. I am currently sporting ridiculously ORANGE legs after trying a new spray on self-tanner. Yuck!
2. I collect Wonderwords out of the newspaper every Sunday. I have a stack I need to still do!
3. I love tomato soup. Especially with cheddar cheese sprinkled on top. Mmm..
4. I watch "The Golden Girls" reruns on tv at night before I go to sleep.
5. I can procrastinate badly.
6. I wish I was a better writer. It's something I have always struggled with.
7. I don't know what I would do without my cameras.
8. I reminisce about my childhood quite a bit.
