Five Friday Favorites: Thankful

Friday, November 28, 2014


It's so nice to be home right now for the Thanksgiving Holiday! And being home has got me thinking about all the people I'm thankful for...

1. A family that loves me, believes in me, and pushes me to always do my best. 
2. Friends who I've known for forever that I know always have my back.
3. Some 200 sisters that push me to be the best Alpha Phi I can be.
4. A boyfriend who loves me, respects me, has become a best friend, and makes life fun.
5. My sisters in Premier Designs Jewelry who inspire me, encourage me, and have brought me closer to God.
And because I can't limit it to 5...
6. All the people who have touched my life in some way throughout the years; dance instructors, professors, mentors, Premier hostesses, hairstylists, and, many more.

God has blessed me with so many amazing people in my life, and I'm so so thankful for that!

And on a more funny note... 5 things I Love/Hate about Colorado:
1. My hair dries SO FAST. It took maybe 7 minutes yesterday to blow it dry, not the 10-15 it takes in Florida. Love!
2. Because my skin has gotten used to the humid air in Florida, the dry Colorado air makes me skin produce it's own snow, albeit not the kind you really would want to play in. Enter layers of thick lotion (the Shea Moisture lotions are the best, found at Target or Ulta). Hate :(
3. I have my stash of vintage jewelry, shoes, and purses that have been handed down to me from both sides of the family at my parent's house, which you'll see reflected in some upcoming outfit posts. Love!
4. While I love all of our animals so much (2 dogs, 2 cats), being away for awhile causes my allergies to flare up, in addition to the other plants and such in Colorado that I used to be accustomed to but then I moved... Hate :( 
5. Noodles and Company. Niccolos Pizza. Train horns in the morning. Blustery fall air. Aspen trees. My old room. Familiar places. Memories. These and more I Love!

Have a great Friday, my lovely readers! I'm so thankful for all of you as well, and I hope you have a wonderful weekend! Take the time to enjoy and cherish those you love.
