My Golden Birthday

LBJ Museum Event Outfit

My first museum event went off without a hitch!

I was so nervous, but not for long. Especially when the attendees started to 

compliment me on my look.

I was going for a patriotic theme since my event was in celebration of President's Day.

Valentine's Eve Outfit

Sister Love

That's me (left) and my sister, Sarah (right), all dolled up from a bachelorette party we went to this weekend. She's wearing a short black-sequin dress and I'm wearing a long black dress with sheer top and sheer overlay; which you can't see in the picture. 

Everyone wore black because the bachelorette wore pink. 

We had so much fun riding in a fully loaded party bus full of brilliantly beautiful people dancing and I too got my fair share of swinging on the stripper pole!

First bar was a karaoke bar where my sister and I sang Katy Perry's, "I Kissed a Girl". The second place we went to was Houston's very own, "La Bere", a male strip club. We ended up staying there the rest of the night due to a "miscommunication" between the party bus and my sister and I...

Long story short... we got left behind. 

No worries though because there was a sea of super hotties and we were in the middle of it!

Had such a fun night and created memories with my little sister. 

After all, isn't that what it's all about?

Valentine's Day Flowers

Most people, when they think a bouquet of flowers, will think of roses or tulips or even the colorful arrangement you see when you pass up the floral aisle in the grocery stores. Not everyone thinks of a white carnation. I used to think of them as a cheap restaurant center piece or, frankly, not a good enough flower to give me on Valentine's Day. That is, until 3 years ago.

I always make fun of my long time boyfriend, Aaron, for getting me the worst stuff as gifts. For our first Christmas spent together he got me a DVD of "Despicable Me", a phone case and a relationship book by Steve Harvey... I got him an Invicta watch...( you do the math). For my birthday later the next year, he did much better and got me my first massage; although I didn't get it until 5months later! And for our first Valentine's day spent together he gave me a big, bouncy bouquet of white carnations... 

Why would he give me carnations?! Does he not like me?!

I smiled and put them in a vase of water next to my mom's flowers from my dad: 3 dozen beautifully fragrant red roses, and we proceeded to go to dinner and have a wonderful time. When we got home, all I could think of was the carnations. I complained like a spoiled brat about them because I didn't think they were flowers that I deserved (later in this rant I realized I didn't deserve flowers at all).

Over the course of weeks passing by, my mom's roses started to wilt and die. Not the white carnations though. They just kept blossoming bigger and wider. 

Finally, my mom threw away about $150 worth of roses in the trash, but my $10 bouquet still stayed blossomed. I was shocked. 

Now 3 years later, I think of this and realize that white carnations are beautiful. They symbolize 'pure love' and innocence'. I love my boyfriend and hope that he sends me white carnations for Valentine's Day this year. 

If he doesn't... we'll see if he lives this V-DAY (just kidding) 

Partition- Beyonce Choreography

My Spirit Animal

Tonight I "Yonced all on his mouth like liquor" at a dance class our friend, Cinzia, hosts and choreographs herself. This time it was to Beyonce's- Partition. By the way, I cannot explain how much I love Beyonce. Anyway, I had fun, even though I totally messed up a million and one times! 

Check it out for yourself! Let me know what you think. 

New Year. New Hair. 2014.

When I came back from the holiday break, my roommate, Sasha, encouraged me to dye my hair for the new year. She kept saying, "new year. new hair." I thought it was silly, but whatever. What do I have to lose? It's my last semester at Texas State University before I graduate with my Communications degree and after all, it's just hair. 

I have naturally really boring hair. Almost like a dirty, ashy blonde that is almost dark enough to be called Brown, but isn't. It was okay with me...not like I care about my hair color that much. Sasha basically picked it out. She said, "it would make you look edgy!" 

At first I didn't like it, but it's growing on me. 

Yeah, it's a small step in my journey to being the person I want to be (whatever that means), but I think it's a good step in the right direction; as far as appearance goes that is.
