Dinner for seven.

Last night was the beautiful girl on the rights birthday. We went rafting down the Provo River then went up to Sundance Ski Resort for a lovely dinner at our family's favorite restaurant, The Foundry Grill.  Rachel turned 19. I can't even believe it! Man oh man. 

She is moving out in a week to enter the real world. I will miss you :(

 I love my sister Rachel Ray!

Bedroom make-over

This summer i did a lot more antique shopping. I found 4 more gold mirrors to add to my mirror collection and I also found 2 vintage suitcases. I am still looking for one more pinkish colored vintage suitcase to make it tall enough for a bedstand, but for now They are just decoration. I had a fun time hanging the mirrors up above my bed and rearranging the few things I had before.

{A gold mirror to keep my jewelry/perfume organized}

This is my first post of outfit ideas! I love the idea of high wasted shorts and I was so happy when i found these ones on sale a jcrew. I found this outfit by accidentily setting my blue shirt on top of my shorts and I thought that they would look so good together.

 I tried it on and I liked the look.

Health and Beauty Tips

• Drink at least 8 glasses of water a day. We hear this all the time, but it really is one of the most effective ways of having a natural glow.  
• Moisturize MORNING and NIGHT
• Apply Sunscreen when in the sun to guard against harsh rays (rays are srongest between 11am and 3pm)
• Wash face morning and night. ALWAYS at night. You don't want to sleep with your day face on.
• Use a masque once a week
• Try to get 7 hours of sleep each night
• Eat with beauty in mind-fresh fruits and vegetables, fewer fats and fried fruits
• Exercise every day to keep fit. (i.e yoga, skating, running, biking, swimming, dancing, walking)
• Dedicate one night a week to a total beauty night- facial *sauna and a facial masque, deep condition for the hair, and a manicure and pedicure :)

*if you don't have access for a real sauna, here is an idea of how to make your own.
-pour boiling water into a large bowl
-lean over the bowl, close enough to feel the steam. place a towel over your head to tent in the steam. Leave for 3 to 5 minutes then apply moisturizer or facial masque.

Hope this helps!

I'm Back!

Wow sorry that it has been so long since I last posted! Here is an update of what has been going on in my life.

I came back from paradise and had to enter the "real world." I was ready to come home, but not ready for school and work!

I got asked to Homecoming by this sweet boy Devin. Last night, I answered my door and one of his friends was there and said that someone had a song for me. I walked down my front steps and there he was with his guitar and a cute song he wrote asking me to the dance. It was adorable :) What kind of dress do I want?!

I was babysiting tonight at a house that is on a farm, and I had to put the chickens in the coop! I was literally scared. I wanted to call someone to come help me but I decided to be brave :) I gathered 4 eggs. I was pretty proud.

I have made the longest "To Buy for School" list in the whole world, but I need to make money to acheive that!
Some items on that list:

• Cream Skinny Jeans, faded and ripped straight leg jeans
• Lots of dresses... long or short. (my new thing)
• Cute sweatpants (I don't own one pair of sweats!)
• Red Skirt
• Wedges! {even when you are 5'10'' wear 4 inch heels and rock the height :)}

I have fallen in love with painting! I have been painting for the past 2 days and I can't stop! It is addicting. I will post pictures when my pieces are finished :)

My knee is better and I get to start skating again tomorrow! I also get my brand new skates... Can't wait!

I have decided I am going to change the way i do the blogging thing. I am going to turn my blog into a fashion blog as well as a blog about life, but I am excited to start the change!

I am going to be a Senior! I can't even believe it.

What has been going on with you?!

xoxo karli :)
