Whoa, what a week! I can't believe it's Friday already... before I get to the flying, allow me to recap this week's adventures...
I officially started my new job on Monday... phew! I'm starting to get the hang of it even though some parts are hazy. What I really don't understand is how some of you can blog full time, work full time, take care of babies, and cook healthy homemade meals, all while cleaning, thrifting, crafting, looking fabulous, and still managing to have a sex and/or social life. What exactly is the secret here... insomnia? Someone clue me in.
School is going swell. My Advanced Photoshop and Web Animation courses are finishing up next week so I've got a whoooole lot of projects to tackle over the weekend.... which means I will soon have some fun design projects to share next week! Can you believe I'll have my degree in July? :)
On Wednesday I got Josh's Valentine's gift in the mail... my start up kit with Bare Minerals (along with a plush teddy and chocolates... hehe)!!! He knows I've been wanting some good quality foundation for so long. I have yet to try it out- I'm so excited! Does anyone else use it? Lurve or loathe?
Thursday I tried out no-heat curls... maybe you've heard? You can check out the video tutorial here. I got amazing results! Literally- I was amazed. I wasn't sure it would work with my thick, untrimmed-for-4-months mane, but it did! You know me though, I had to poof it a bit...
Today is Friday which means it's obvi Friday's Fancies, but it's also Josh's night off- yay! Can't wait to have a whole evening with him to myself. Then, it's chore city until this house stops looking like someone robbed us.
What I really truly need is a vacation... somewhere far away where I can eat loads of pasta, drink pitchers of wine, and sip on enough espresso to sight see for a thousand miles. Where the cities breathe art... where living for pleasure is encouraged... where the Tuscan sun awaits... I want to go to Italy... come fly away with me?

When AV at {long distance loving} assigned some travel inspiration last week, sure, Hawaii came to mind a couple times, but in my heart I know if I ever had the chance the first destination I would pick is Italy.
It's always been a dream of mine to visit the land connected to my heritage. I played off their flag colors while imagining myself strolling down cobblestone roads in comfy casual attire. When I get there I'm going to order a croissant and espresso at that exact bistro table!
Where would you go if you could fly away?
P.S. Don't forget to link up your playlist for Music Mondays! Happy Weekend! :)
I would go to Italy, too. I've ALWAYS wanted to go there. In fact, when I was in high school, I kept admiring this picture of an Italian alley with beautiful balconies in a local restaurant that my parents and I used to eat at. My dad found a copy for me and gave it to me for my room, as a surprise gift. I loved it!
ReplyDeleteAs for balancing everything I do ... it's a constant learning process. I do stay up late a lot. ;)
That is a hard and interesting question! If I could fly away I would like to go to Ireland. My moms family is Irish but I have never been. It's kind of a dream trip for me (some day when I am rich and famous)...LOL Have a super weekend!
ReplyDeleteI want to try that no-heat curl so badly! I have read so many good reviews and have seen such amazing results. I need to jump on board.
ReplyDeleteAlso I would like an answer to how all these ladies look so put together in the blogosphere. Working one full-time job is hard enough to keep on top on anything!
p.s. Super stoked for Monday's link up. I've got an awesome playlist started.
I love the no-heat hair. I am DEFINITELY trying that. It looks so cute!
ReplyDeleteItaly's a good choice. I want to go there too at some point.
Have a great weekend :)
Love Love Love Bare Minerals/Escentuals. It's amazing. Got it for Christmas. You will be so amazed at the difference it makes when you put it on.

I loooooove Bare Minerals! It covers fabulously and it doesn't rub off or sweat off!
ReplyDeleteIf I could fly anywhere right now, I would go to London. I've always been in love with that city (even if I've never been there!).
i'd go visit my parents in Germany :) italy is wonderful though, i spent lots of childhood vacations there.
ReplyDeleteAlways fancied Paris... Never got round to it...
ReplyDeleteLove your hair! I tried the same tutorial and didn't have tr same results. I think it would work better once my hair is longer!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing your final projects this semester! Please share any "advanced photoshop" tips that are life changing (or time saving!).
ReplyDeleteMy next fly away destination has to be Seoul, Korea. I'm tired of the Caribbean lifestyle.. I need some hustle & bustle!
I love your hair looks great! I have tried it but it didn't really work on me.
ReplyDeleteI just came across your blog and I'm a new follower! Congrats on having your degree in July! That's a huge accomplishment :)
ReplyDeleteYour no-heat hair style looks fabulous! I'm going to have to try it :)
Italy is absolutely amazing! A definite destination at some point in a lifetime.
ReplyDeleteAs for juggling blogging with life...ready cooked meals and very little sleep help contribute a very little to solving the problem, heh.
Italy is on our "to-do before kids" list! Can't wait!
ReplyDeleteSo glad to have found you! New follower!
You're going to get used to working full time and blogging full time eventually, my dear :)
ReplyDeleteI've got my heart set on southeast asia!
ReplyDeletei'm with you on the vacation thing :)
ReplyDeleteI would go with you! What if that was our sister thing...all of us go to Italy to fly away!!! Ahhh that would be better than amazing!
