Easter Sunday

I'm gonna tell you a little bit about my easter traditions with my family. This yea, we celebrated it at my Grandma's house. we searched for our eggs and we trade it in for either a dollar or a crochet-hanger. this year the dog max ATE my egg and so they had to make an new one for me...stupid dog... anyways, then we ate a shiiii ton of food then we play another easter game. this one is called: pick out a plastic egg with a dare on it and get money. it goes from youngest to oldest and it's hilarious. one year my aunt had to jump rope 25 times for 5 dollars. she unknowingly peed her pants. priceless. then we eat some more and then we go up to utah state campus where we roll our eggs down a hill. i don't know why we do this, but i've been doing it since i was like, in the womb, so i never question it. this year we did all of those things, but, this easter sunday, i did the cinnamon challenge like an idiot. for those who don't know what the challenge is: you swallow a tablespoon of cinnamon. i threw up in front of my whole family. some were mesmerized other where horrified others were peeing their pants laughing so hard one even threw up. it is not recommended unless you want to lose a few extra pounds for summer. that's a lie. just don't do it. 

here are some pics from the glorious day:

birthday cakes

yesterday was my 22nd birthday. it's funny because i usually dreaaaaaad my birthdays, but something about the 22nd birthdays that makes everyone super stoked.

overall, it was a fantastic birthday. i am lucky to have such great friends and family. it's a frakin' great time to be alive.

welcome to my head

so, i am almost done with my finals. I have to art history paper; one is due tomorrow at five (outline: CHECK) and then another one is due on wednesday at four i think :/ (have no outline. only know that my artist that i am writing on is french and very very sexy).

this past week has been super stressful for me, but i am luckily still alive (somewhat). i went and got a spray tan with my sister (don't judge me). i love her so much, even though she is soooooo indecisive when it comes to picking out plates for a baby shower. haha sar! AND it was my best friends birthday yesterday. i never get to see her because we are both super busy, so it was sooo much fun to hang out with her on her 22nd birthday.

honestly, i love my life and i am very grateful, but sometimes i feel like such a loser. i mean, i think everyone feels that way sometimes and it's ok to be a loser, but it can be hard. so whoever is reading this: it's totally ok to feel insecure and to feel that no one understands you, but YOU are the only thing that you have in this world, so love yourself for who you are. and don't let anybody change that. i'm slowly learning this for myself as well (fabulous hair? CHECK)

i hope your weekend was lovely

xoxo + frosting

i'm turning into one of those people who take picutres of themselves in the bathroom

happy weekend y'all!

i heart fall holidays

i freakin' love halloween. i love dressing up in ridiculous outfits and eating so much candy that i can't stand properly. i get so excited that i've already been thinking about my outfit for next year! no, i can't tell you: it's too epic to even speak of.
anyways, Halloween was this weekend, technically on sunday, but i've been celebrating this holiday since thursday. too many stories, not enough room on my blog. haha. here are some pictures from saturday night. ENJOY!

So, a couple of weeks before school started, my good good friend, Lena, invited to go to Buena Vista, Colorado for the weekend. it was fabulous. i met some really fun and interesting people from Lena's college, Redlands. we went hiking, white water rafting and singing random songs by the camp fire. ah! good times. i hope we do it again next year!!! HOLLA!

don't call me junior 'cause i'm 21

so, last friday was my 21st birthday. it was wonderful. usually, i don't really like my birthday, but you only turn 21 once eh? all morning i spent trying to get my driver's license. no such luck (stupid Utah laws). then i went to lunch with my grandparents and my mother. it was so much fun and i'm so grateful because they bought me a beautiful birthday dress that i will treasure forever. my sister semi-did my make up. i took a nap. and then went to my fabulous birthday party hosted by my friend, Albert. it was a wonderful birthday. i love my family. love my friends. and love the days where we all come together and create memories.
oh wow this is super cheese.

BEIRUT

{Bek bek and me}

So, in Salt Lake City, every summer we have the Twilight Concert Series where well-known bands come and and play for free. In the past years, the concert has been held at Gallivan Plaza, but this year, because of how popular it has become, the Twilight series is now held at Pioneer Park ( this place is basically known for being one of the sketchiest parks in SLC because of all the homeless people who camp out there).
I was so excited because the second week that i was back in amurrica, Modest Mouse was kicking the series off. I was sooo stoked because the last concert that i went to in the states was Modest Mouse. Unfortunately, it was one of the biggest concerts that Twilight has ever seen: 40,000 people came, not just from utah, but from colorado, arizona, etc. it was absolutely ridiculous!!! i was so angry and i promised myself that i wasn't going to go anymore.
well, i broke that promise. my friend Bekah and i went to see Twin Sister and, one of my favorite bands, Beirut. I started listening to Beirut my senior year of high school. I remember dancing around my room to songs like Nantes and Postcards from Italy. --sigh--
let me just say that it was one of the best concerts that i've been to. i say that a lot, but it's true. mind you, there were a lot of rude people that don't understand the greatness of Beirut. i kind of wanted to kick peoples' shins just to get them to shut up, but i am a lady, so i didn't. overall, i will always have fond memories of beirut and can now check them off of my bucket list. CHECK!

The Impossible

first off, Happy Mother's Day. may all those sexy mommas out there feel special for bringing something amazing into this world. i hope that one day i'll be mature enough to be a mom. secondly, do you ever feel like you don't want to be yourself anymore? i mean, i really like being me, but sometimes i wish that i could get out of my head. just for a half an hour or so. is that too much to ask? is it too impossible? do i ask too many questions? yes? ok.
i hope that you're having a fabulous weekend.
