summer

Randomness

Posted on Updated on

Hey guys! Hope everyone is doing well! I am finallyyyyy done with my semester and have been enjoying some time off before I have to deal with the real world again.  These are some of the things that I have been up to for the past few weeks:

 


 

I started a mini garden!!

I don’t know what got into me but I decided that I want to grow my own vegetables this summer.. so my mother who is an avid gardener gave me some plants. I planted tomatoes, cucumbers, kale,  and lettuce in my boyfriend’s backyard. I have no idea what I’m doing when it comes to gardening but we’ll see what happens!


 

 

I also discovered Mimosas:

I  got to try one of these for the first time at my sister’s bridal shower, and I don’t know what I was doing with my life before Mimosas… they’re delicious! Literally my new favorite drink!


I have been working out a ton!

My cousin Melissa, from Mel’s Miles,  is my workout buddy whenever I am home from school. Since I’ve started my summer break, we have been working out several times a week. We even did a 6 mile run this past Monday! I’m not going to lie, that run was very difficult for me  because it was the longest I’ve ran in over a year, but I am glad that we finished it and I can’t wait to get back into shape!


 

My hairstylist fixed my botched dye job from earlier this year, and I feel like myself again!

I  practiced hairstyling on my cousin!

I am doing the hair and makeup for my sister’s wedding in August, and my lovely cousin let me practice   doing her hair. While this isn’t the look I am going to do on my sister, it was still fun!

 

I also got to play with more makeup!

We were on a time crunch and I forgot to a close up of the actual makeup! (Me, Rachel, and Melissa)

 

 

My sister Rachel, had her bridal shower last weekend and we did a makeup trial run before it! As always, nothing is more fun for me than playing with makeup/beauty related things.

 

It was a beautiful day out and my boyfriend and I went on a random date!

Fun fact: this location was where we went on  our first official date almost 3 years ago!


I also have been preparing to apply to Occupational Therapy school!

 

 

The 2015-2016 cycle of applications opens in July so I have been running around trying everything ready. Since I switched career paths this past fall and decided to apply to grad school the same year, I am feeling very overwhelmed however, I am trying to stay calm, and be positive. Hopefully everything will workout (schools please accept me!!!). I also registered to retake the dreadful GRE in  June, so not excited for that!



 

What have you all been up to?
