You're Such A "Tease"...

I've been getting into blogging more lately since I have a little bit more time on my hands since I moved to Utah. I've been following this girl who posts lots of hair and make up tutorials and she recently posted one on how to tease your hair. I was bored a few days ago and so I tried it. I really like what I came up with. :) Please forgive me for the awkward mirror pictures.

The first one reminds of of a "hippie" hair style with the braids but I like it and I thought it was cute.


Side views:



The second style was one I saw on a tutorial. It's just a really simple bun!

Dinoville!

I'm am blessed enough to have built relationships with all four of the sister missionaries that have taught me. I'm living with one right now in Utah. It gets even better... All of them live in Utah! I've been here for just over a week and Christal and Becca convinced me to drive to Vernal/eastern Utah to visit Christal. She moved to the middle of nowhere because of a great job opportunity! It's about a three hour drive from Provo but Becca and I made it in just over two. ;) It was a beautiful drive both there and back. I wasn't sure what to think of this weekend trip but I was sure glad that we did it! Who would've thought that you can have fun in the middle of nowhere?! Haha. I'm only kidding. Here are some pictures from our many adventures...

The Vernal temple use to be the Vernal Tabernacle that was built in 1907... It was dedicated at a temple in 1997!


Corner stone picture!
Christal, Me, and Becca!
Vernal is well known for all the dinosaur excavating!

Colorado wasn't far from Vernal so we took a little drive out there!
Here we are all touching a dino fossil at the quarry.
Yes, I'm "hugging" a dino fossil!

Yes, my socks match my Sunday best! ;)
Hello, Utah!
Pretty Vernal sunset!
My first Utah snow!
Face masks!
Good bye Vernal!

Nail Art + Valentine's Day Fun

For the past almost two years, with the exception of my four months at BYUi, I haven't been allowed to wear anything on my nails... not even clear nail polish. Why you ask? Simply because I was working at Jamba Juice. We're not allowed to wear anything on our nails or have fake nails or even long nails. It makes complete sense but it was just kind of a bummer when I did have desire to have cute finger nails- which was very seldom anyway. So, once I got here to Utah I've a little extra time on my hands, haha. For Valentines day I decided to get myself a gift... I got these really cool full nail decals! They're awesome, cheap, and not too difficult to put on. 

They're kind of crazy/wild but they're way fun and I can just take them off whenever I was without polish remover which stinks anyway! :)

For Valentine's Day Jamie got me a very yummy treat!

A very yummy heart shaped doughnut! :) She hates Valentine's Day so I feel very special to have received this gift! Thanks, J!

This is a video that my friend Analee is in. It's hilarious and really cute. She's the girl in it...

PDX Fo Eva!

I leave for Utah at 5am tomorrow... That's only 6.5 hours away and I'm writing a blog post. Why you ask? Because I'm nuts and I'm just putting off my homework. I have one more assignment for my world religions class that I don't want to do but I need to.
I'm an Oregon girl now and forever! I love it here but I must say that Utah is where I need to be right now. And in less then 24 hours that's where I'll be!
:)
