i posted this originally on national s'mores day

but then got sick of other bloggers talking about smores smores smore la ti da, when i REALLY love them.
for my entire child and adult and nowhood.

so i just posted these pictures, and sat on my high horse weeks ago about how i've been a national smores day enthusiast for YEARS.

that's right, bandwagon fans.
stuff it.

:)

but aren't they great? srsly.

things work out just right

i've been saving these photos for awhile, and noticed just today that they go together.

nice how that works out, isn't it?

:)

OH NO!

Once upon a time, I put this video on youtube as a way of finding housing in Hawaii for an internship I was slated to do with Manoa Valley Theatre in Honolulu:



And instead of watching that video, everyone at the theatres watched this one instead (embarrassingly also available on my youtube channel):



i became instantly recognizable for reasons I didn't predict.

**note** i'm not actually wearing pants in the first video. watch it again. and know that, now. ;)

Nearly Perfect Day

i had a nearly perfect day, last Thursday.

i couldn't go into work, so I had an immediate free day.

so i dressed up pretty.

josh found a lovely green frock for me, and today was the day for it.

i wore heels.

and went to two auditions.

and then i went for lunch.

quietly.

happily.

all by myself and my sweet thoughts.

i went afterwards to Ten Thousand Villages, and spent nearly 2.5 hours helping out and talking to people with exciting, happening lives, and wonderful tales to regale.

i love when other's lives are inspiring.

the day turned sour after that. but it was nearly perfect, and for that, i am grateful. <3

Dyed Hair

oooh so awesome.

both found on a beautiful mess

where the bride's sister dyed her hair blue for ol' phrase, "something old, something new, something borrowed, something BLUE!"

Seeing My Braces Put to Good Use

as in, SMILING.
A happy, successful visit to Texas with the fam for Graduation.
Actually, let's get a little more specific here.
I graduated in March, and have been traveling my butt off and working nonstop (saving for the big move to NYC.)
I missed the fam, and they kept asking me to come down because they missed me.
And they threw a HUGE party!
People from OMAHA, NEBRASKA came down. We made our first dessert table EVER, (and it was awesome.) Friends from High School, friends from Church, friends from EVERYWHERE showed up.
And it was amazing.
I had smiles for miles, indeed.

My All-Time Favorite Google Doodle

Martha Graham is incredible.

Asking for Advice

Y'all.

I'm thinking of using Clinique.

I had an appointment with a Clinique specialist the other day, and I loved it.

And also, she gave me samplers of their make-up and I super love it too. I used their light formula, the sunscreen one with a hint of color. It's absolutely perfect for summer, and I'm leaning towards it....

buuutttt.......

Do you use it? What do you think? How do you like it? What's your skin do? Advice?
