I haven't owned any black denim for a couple of years, and wanted to get some this Fall to add some variety to my closet. I went into American Eagle yesterday, and they were having a BOGO 50% off sale, so I bought <a href="https://www.ae.com/women-aeo-denim-x4-hi-rise-jegging-rich-onyx/web/s-prod/0433_1119_088?cm=sUS-cUSD&catId=cat20116&cid=AE_PLA_3370156&ip=off&pup_e=1&pup_ptid=163313568082&pup_kw=&pup_c=pla&pup_cid=16964&pup_id=0026597633&gclid=Cj0KCQjwprbPBRCHARIsAF_7gDaobyXCNq6s1MoNUyiuCpiOpJGX7Z4UMKZr0Nu2nbSS19BxBWWVZIEaAm40EALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds" target="_blank">this pair</a>. I am wearing them right now. :) They are super comfortable -- very important since I spend so much of my time on the floor with Lincoln haha<br />

When we packed up to move, I found a shoe box that fit all of my bottles of nail polish <i>perfectly.</i> I was pretty pleased with myself for how they fit so well in this box. Well, the box never made it onto the moving truck. I'm hoping it at least made its way into the donation pile and not the trash? :/ Anyways, I have to start my nail polish collection from scratch. I bought a bottle from Essie's Fall line called "<a href="https://www.target.com/p/essie-174-nail-polish-reds/-/A-51367414#lnk=sametab&preselect=52230773" target="_blank">Knee High Life</a>" (It's 90s inspired). It's a fun berry color! It's also the only bottle of polish I have right now so I've been wearing this color for a few weeks now. :)<br />

I used to hate floral prints when I was younger. I thought it was a print only grandmother's wore LOL now I love floral prints! (Well, Michael DOES tell me I have the same style as a grandma. . .) We all know Miranda Priestley (sarcastically) called floral prints "groundbreaking" for Spring, but I love it in all 4 seasons! I think the navy blue background of this dress makes the pattern appropriate for Fall. I paired it with a tan sweater and cognac booties.<br />
<br />
Today after we got home from church, I read for a little bit and then took a nap. I ran to the mall to get a couple of things, went grocery shopping, and picked up some dinner (Zoe's Kitchen for Lincoln and me, and Panda Express for Michael). Sundays are the best! haha I hope you got to relax and recharge as well!

Michael was making me laugh!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Are you sick of this sweater vest yet? :P I've been wearing it with everything! Today I layered it with this red and blue plaid top. I wore this to the city's annual fall festival. We were able to walk there from the house, and the weather was sooo perfect! This is our first fall living in GA, and it's been funny to listen to locals complain about the weather being warm for October. . .it's a lot cooler than what Michael and I are used to in Phoenix this time of year! I don't make any comment, but just keep quiet and enjoy (what I consider to be) the cool weather and changing leaves. :)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
After the carnival, we came home and worked on a puzzle while Lincoln took a nap. The 3 of us watched the Smurf's movie on Netflix, and then we went to the park. This was a perfect day in my book! :) I hope you're having a wonderful weekend as well. Thank you so much for reading! xo</div>

I'm just doing a quick roundup of my recent Instagram posts. Can you tell I gravitate towards 2 certain pairs of boots when the weather starts to cool down?? :) Tonight we went to the mall to walk around after eating dinner in the food court. We let Lincoln out of his stroller to walk around a little bit too, and he walked into e v e r y store we tried to pass by haha he is so curious about everything!! After we came home and Lincoln went to bed, I watched This is Us (my fave!) and Michael and I worked on a puzzle we bought yesterday from WalMart. :)<br />

I love wearing red. I wore red shoes to my Homecoming Dance in high school. The dress I wore for my engagement photos was red. Red is vibrant, bold, energetic. . . and I personally <i>love </i>how it looks with gold accessories. So luxurious! And a red lipstick? BAM - instant glamour! Needless to say, I am excited to see red as a major color this fall! Dresses, tops, bags, boots. . . .all I see is red. :)<br />
<br />
Tonight we went out shopping for a Halloween costume for Lincoln, and we were very disappointed by the selection (or lack thereof). Maybe Halloween isn't a big deal out here?? We've never been big on celebrating this particular holiday, but I was excited at the idea of getting a costume for Lincoln. It's only 2 weeks away, and Goodwill didn't have a single Halloween item in the entire store. . . .it was strange! We weren't impressed by the selection at Walmart either, but we <i>did </i>buy 2 puzzles. :) After Lincoln went to bed, Michael and I put together the border for one of them! haha I forget how fun puzzles are.<br />

I bought this pink vest from Top Shop at Nordstrom 2 years ago, but I've only worn it once because I felt like I didn't really know how to style it. When I got pregnant, I thought it would be cute to wear but didn't have a maternity top that looked quite right. I bought this white tank top over the summer, and it's perfect with the vest! I wore this yesterday for church followed by some errands, including taking Lincoln to the park. I felt a <i>little </i>overdressed on the playground, but oh well haha.<br />
<br />
I also went grocery shopping yesterday, and last night I made these <a href="https://pinchofyum.com/healthy-mexican-sweet-potato-skins" target="_blank">Mexican Sweet Potato Skins</a> for dinner with enough leftover to eat for lunch throughout the week. I broke all of the skins, so am actually just eating the "filling" haha but it's sooooo good. I put extra adobo peppers in there to give it an extra kick. :)<br />

Yesterday we went to the Georgia Apple Festival in Ellijay! This was our first year going, and we didn't know how huge it was! We sat in a line to park our cars for what felt like forever. It was worth it though! The festival had every kind of apple dessert I could think of -- except we never did find just some classic apple pie?! There were also all kinds of crafts booths with really unique items. Next year I want to go back and buy some crafts for our home. There was also a tent serving homemade root beer that was so delish, and last night Michael was researching how we can begin brewing root beer ourselves haha.<br />

It's no secret that pink is my favorite color, and I wear it year-round. :) I didn't buy many maternity clothes when I was pregnant (they are SO expensive!), but I did buy this kimono from Pink Blush Boutique because I knew I could keep wearing it after Lincoln was born! The vibrant colors are so beautiful, and it is so light and easy to wear.</div>

I finally get on board with the floppy hat trend, and now what's trending are baker boy hats! Oh well haha I'm sure I'll get a baker boy hat once those go out of style too :P I don't normally pair neutrals together like this, but I like how the gray ended up looking against the shades of tan. Michael isn't so sure about it though. . . :) <br />

It's that time of year where we're deep enough into Fall that I'm craving to wear my boots, but it's still warm enough outside that short sleeves are perfectly appropriate. :P I got this olive top from H&M a few years ago, and I love that the color is perfect for Fall, but the fabric is light enough that it feels like a t-shirt. I also really like the black siding - it gives this top a little something extra!<br />

Last week we were at the mall, and we walked past Bath & Body Works, and they always have a display right out in front of their store. A "Hot Cocoa & Cream" candle caught Michael's eye (he loves hot coca), and he said we have to get it! I told him no, I <i>never</i> buy full-priced candles from Bath & Body Works. haha I told him to trust me, it will be on sale soon enough. What do you know, I got an email yesterday saying for one day only, all of the new "Winter" candles (including the hot cocoa one) were on sale from $24.5 to $11.95. Last night after dinner, we hopped in the car and went to the mall specifically to buy one hot coca candle.<br />

<br />
Confession: I am a bit of a makeup hoarder. (Raise your hand if you're guilty of ignoring expiration dates for makeup.)<br />
<br />
I don't go out and buy makeup very often, but I <i>am</i> a sucker when Sephora sends me an emailing saying if I make a purchase, I'll get a goodie bag with "x" amount of samples in it. I was also subscribed to their monthly box for about 6 months, and was receiving a box with 5 deluxe samples from them every month!<br />
<br />
When we were packing up our house to move from AZ to GA, I realized how many makeup samples I have. I told myself I am going to use up what I have before I buy anything new (except nail polish -- I packed up a shoe box of nail polish and was so proud of myself for how perfectly they all fit in the box. . .and then the box never made it onto the moving truck. Wahhhh.)<br />
<br />
When I was getting ready yesterday, I took a few pictures of makeup products I'm currently using. I don't necessarily love these products, but they've been apart of my daily routine recently as I try to use them up and make room for some new stuff.<br />

First up is the Tarte Frxxtion Stick Exfoliating Cleanser. It's meant to be a cleanser, exfoliator and face mask all-in-one. I've been using it as an exfoliator every other day. It's kind of fun to "draw" the stick all over my face haha. After I rinse it off my face, my skin feels "tighter", if that makes sense? I don't tell a huge difference in my skin's appearance though, to be honest.<br />

I have two small bottles of Clinique Even Better Foundation. I like that this foundation has SPF in it. :) The color I have is one or two shades two dark for me, but I've been using it anyway and blend, blend, blend. I was surprised at how good the coverage is - a little bit goes a long way. The product description says it's oil-free, but I feel like my face looks a little oily when I am wearing it and I prefer something more matte.<br />

After applying foundation, blush, etc., I've been spraying on Tarte's Marine Boosting Mist. This is another all-in-one product, and is meant to be a primer, setting spray, hydrating mist AND skin refresher. I don't know if using this mist truly "sets in" my makeup, but I LOVE the scent. It smells like oranges. :) It also feels very refreshing to spray it onto my skin! I probably won't buy myself a bottle after this runs out, but if I do, it's because I love the scent so much. ;)<br />

I've been switching between two different mascaras by Bobbi Brown and Sephora. I prefer the Bobbi Brown mascara (not a big surprise, since it is much more expensive), but I feel like the Sephora mascara does a good job of lengthening my eyelashes too.<br />

My MAC Eyeliner is the only product in today's post that isn't a sample and I bought for myself. I feel like this is a very unpopular opinion, but I don't like it much at all. When I apply it to my eyes, it feels <i>so</i> creamy and smooth. However, I after only an hour or two I feel like I have total raccoon eyes because it has smudged so much. I've been really disappointed.<br />

More Clinique! This Almost Lipstick in the shade Black Honey is my favorite product I've been wearing lately. When I first opened the tube, I was afraid it was going to be very dark. It's not dark at all! It's very sheer, but it's layerable so you can make it as dark as you want it to be. I feel like it feels very soft and creamy, almost like a chap stick, and this particular shade brings out the natural color of my lips. <br />

Last night I hung out with some friends to eat pizza and play Phrase Frenzy. I was super comfortable in this outfit that feels like pajamas! :) When I first ordered this top, I was a little skeptical that it is "one size fits all". However, I've worn it before, during, and after being pregnant. It's like a great friend who's been there for me in all stages of my life LOL. I realize you can't see my makeup at all in this photo, but I'm wearing all of the products I reviewed above.<br />

One of the most fun things about moving to the South has been the Fall festivities. There are dozens of festivals every weekend, the leaves are starting to change colors, and the pumpkin patches here are SO much bigger than anything we're used to!<br />

Last weekend we drove to a sunflower farm! They are only open for about a month, she the flowers are still in bloom. The sunflowers were so beautifully vibrant! It was a pretty gray and dreary day when we visited, and for some reason I thought the flowers might look a little dull, but they popped against the gray skies and were positively gorgeous!<br />

I wore this black and white striped dress from Target a couple of years ago, a new tan cardigan from Old Navy, and this hat I bought from Nordstrom after Christmas last year. I hadn't worn it yet because I felt a little out of place with it in AZ, but I love it!<br />

This morning I completed the second week of Bender Fitness' Postpartum & Beyond: 6-Week Workout Challenge. Yes, I'm already 14 months postpartum, but better late than never right? ;) I've honestly started this program a handful of times in the past, but this is the first time I've actually completed the second week. Whoop whoop!<br />

<br />
This weekend has gone by so slowly, and I mean that in the best possible way. Lincoln waking up at 5AM on the weekends makes the days seem soooo much longer.<br />
<br />
We didn't have any plans this weekend. Yesterday, we browsed around At Home for decor inspiration, and I did some online shopping. I bought a pair of wedges, 3 tops and a pair of earrings for under $100 (if you don't count shipping :P)! I am excited to receive some new items to style for spring. Then last night Michael and I made kabobs for dinner. Neither of us had made them before, and it was so much fun! :) After dinner, we watched a couple of episodes of Grey's Anatomy. Michael and I started watching it on Netflix a year and a half ago and have slowly been making our way through the seasons. We finally got caught up to the current season, so now we're watching it on Hulu haha<br />
<br />
Today is Easter! We were planning to go to church this morning, but Lincoln was super grumpy all morning -- we think he is teething again. I went to church by myself, and then my dad came over to our house for a little while. Michael and I made dinner together - ham, deviled eggs, mashed potatoes and dinner rolls. We were trying to keep it traditional even thought it was the just the two of us haha. Right now Michael is trying to get some stains out of my red Michael Kors bag. I have no idea what I spilled on my purse, but it looks like splashes of white out :( He bought some leather cleaner for my "Easter basket", and I am hoping it will clean up my bag without leaving any weird stains.<br />
<br />
Here's to another week!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12664779642344890364noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1838515371408928922.post-28036653418718316052017-04-13T20:42:00.000-07:002017-04-13T20:42:44.461-07:00Hula's Modern TikiTonight, I met my friend Sarah for dinner at Hula's Modern Tiki. It was so fun! The restaurant is Hawaiian themed (if the name doesn't make that obvious haha). I haven't traveled much lately, so it was nice to pretend to get away, even for a few hours. ;)<br />
<br />
I ate Hawaiian Lobster Bisque and Crispy Coconut Shrimp Rolls that came with a delicious pineapple horseradish sauce - yum!<br />
<br />
We thought we might do a little bit of shopping after dinner, but somehow we had been talking at our table for a full 3 hours before we realized what time it was! That tends to happen whenever we get together. :)<br />

Other days, your hubby experiments in the kitchen and makes hamburgers stuffed with jalapenos and cream cheese. Today was a burger-stuffed-with-cheesy-goodness day.<br />
<br />
I was perusing the Shopbop sale and found <a href="https://www.shopbop.com/chips-salsa-sweatshirt-wildfox/vp/v=1/1583177487.htm" target="_blank">this cute pink sweatshirt</a>. I live off of chips and salsa, so I showed it to Michael saying I want it! His only response was "How can something so simple be so expensive?" #storyofmylife<br />

I am loving this Spring weather!<br />
<br />
On Sunday, we drove about 2 hours North East of us to spend the day near Payson! More specifically, we went to Bear Flat, AZ - population 18 people. (Google it.) Michael carried Lincoln in our Bjorn Baby Carrier, and we hiked along Tonto Creek. This was my first time here, and I was surprised to find there wasn't actually a trail. It was more like Michael leading me as we navigated our way over/around big rocks. It made me nervous to have Lincoln with us, but Michael carried him like a pro! There wasn't any shade where we stopped, so Michael built us a mini-fort out of tree branches, and Lincoln was having a blast being outside. He loved watching the flowing water, and was fascinated feeling the smooth boulders and gravelly dirt. He would stick out his pointer finger and gently scratch at the surfaces - it was the cutest thing! By some miracle, he fell asleep on the bouncy hike back to the car.<br />
<br />
Yesterday after work, Michael suggested we try out this pizza place he really wanted to try - Jet's Pizza. It's about 30 minutes away, and it's out of our norm to travel this far during a weeknight but I said let's go for it! When we got there, we discovered that the pizza place was take-out only. It is not actually a restaurant you can eat at. hahaha We sat on a bench near the counter for 20 minutes for our pizza. Once we got our pizza, we were both SO hungry and didn't want to drive all the way home and let the pizza get cold, so I suggested we eat it at a nearby park. Luckily, we still had a blanket in the car from our Payson trip, so we sat on the blanket while Lincoln rolled around and played as we watched the sunset. It was completely unexpected, and SO much fun - I love it when that happens! :D<br />
On a different note, here's a collection of spring accessories I've had my eye on lately! Clearly, I have a thing for pinks! ;)<br />

<br />
Tonight I wanted to wrap up the rest of the pictures of our road trip to Portland (after scarfing down a triple-chocolate muffin from Costco, of course)!<br />
<br />
<u><b>Day 7</b></u><br />
I was definitely sad to be leaving Portland so soon, but I was excited to be visiting the beautiful Crater Lake on our way home! As we got closer to the lake, we discovered that due to a forest fire, the North entrance to the lake was completely closed. If we wanted to see the lake, we would have to enter from the South entrance--adding 2 hours to our planned 10 hours of driving. Michael asked what I wanted to do, but he already knew I really wanted to see Crater Lake. We had come all this way! He wanted to see it took, so we took the detour and I am so glad we did! Crater Lake is <i>gorgeous.</i> Its water is the most beautiful, brilliant shade of blue I have ever seen in my life. We learned that the water is also some of the cleanest water in the entire world!<br />

We didn't get to stay very long, but I'm glad we got to see it at all! Soon we were back on the road and headed to Lake Tahoe! We arrived in South Lake Tahoe when it was already dark out, but got to explore the area the next morning. Two lakes in two days -- woohoo! :)<br />
<br />
<u><b>Day 8</b></u><br />
Lake Tahoe was even bigger than either of us expected, and we both want to go back and spend a few days there. Camping, boating, paddle boarding, hiking. . .there is just so much to do there!! We only had a couple of hours, so we spent it near Emerald Bay.<br />

After lunch, we were headed to Tonopah, NV. Tonopah is an old, tiny mining town and let's just say there's not a whole lot to do :) That was fine though, because we were absolutely exhausted and didn't feel like doing anything anyway! We dragged ourselves down to the restaurant downstairs for dinner (Michael had French Toast, and I had ice cream :P), and then crawled into bed and watched Hitch. We stayed at the "Tonopah Station", and they had some eclectic decor.<br />

<b><u>Day 9</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The last day of our trip! Where did our vacation go?? This was probably our roughest day of driving because we just wanted to be home. We had planned our route to go through Las Vegas and over the Hoover Dam in case we wanted to stop, but neither of us wanted to so we just drove straight through. Once we crossed the state line into Arizona, we encountered some crazy storms! It was pretty strange that during our entire trip through the Pacific Northwest, the only time we got a drop of rain was in Arizona of all places haha I'm not complaining! :) After what felt like forever, we were back home and reunited with our pups and everything was right with the world. :) </div>

I am the worst copilot. I give wrong directions even when I'm holding the GPS in my hands. :P After 3,470 miles of dealing with my wrong turns, this guy didn't once get mad at me for it. In fact, he kept me laughing the whole entire way. There's no one else on the planet I'd rather explore the PNW with. <3</div>

<br />
A few weeks ago, Michael and I took a 9-day road trip from Phoenix to Portland! It was an amaaazing trip that I will never forget. :) In my last blog post, I talked about the 3 days it took to get to Portland! Starting right where we left off. . .<br />
<br />
<u><b>Day 4</b></u><br />
We woke up in Lincoln City, OR, and drove 2 hours over to Portland. Finally, we had arrived!!!<br />
<br />
Our first stop in the city was the Portland International Rose Test Garden. I had no idea that there are hundreds of different species of roses, but there are! This garden grows different types of roses in all the colors of the rainbow. The garden was so beautiful and, as you can imagine, it smelled absolutely LOVELY.<br />

Right next door is the Portland Japanese Garden, so we checked that out too. It is so beautiful and peaceful. Even though it's outdoors, I felt like I had to whisper the entire time we were there! haha<br />

After our morning walks through these 2 gardens, we drove to the nearby Pittock mansion, which is a restored mansion that was built in 1914. I love visiting historical homes and learning about the people who lived in them and the culture at the time, and this was no exception. I didn't take many pictures, but look how beautiful even the back of the house is.</div>

We were pretty hungry after doing all of these touristy things all day! I searched on Yelp for some Thai food, and we settled on a place not too far from our hotel. . .only to discover it was completely shut down. We randomly picked a different Thai restaurant, and I don't remember what it was called but I remember it was near a community college. Anyways, Michael says he was served the best fried rice he's ever had! The most memorable part of the dinner for me is when Michael was given this teeny tiny box to put his leftovers in. I was cracking up!</div>

After dinner, we stuffed ourselves silly on ice cream from Salt & Straw. When we ordered two scoops, we didn't realize that they would be monstrous. That didn't stop me from eating every last bite of my Cinnamon Snickerdoodle and Chocolate Gooey Brownie ice cream cone. I'm drooling just writing about it.</div>

<u><b>Day 5</b></u></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I call this our wilderness day! The entire day was dedicated to exploring the beautiful outskirts of Portland. It's <i>crazy</i> to me you can see waterfalls from your car while driving down the road. WHAT?! I could hardly contain myself with excitement from the first waterfall we saw, Wahkeena Falls. Michael and I pulled over to check it out. I was literally jumping up and down because I was so overwhelmed with how beautiful it was! We found a path near the parking lot and decided to follow it for a little bit---about an hour later, we had hiked up to the very top of the fall (with my purse and all LOL)! I'm not sure what I was expecting to see at the top of the waterfall, but I was<i> not</i> expecting to see a pool of water flowing out of a hole in the ground! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This was definitely one of the most beautiful hikes I have ever done!!</div>

After that adventure, we made our way to the Fruit Loop to eat some local produce from some farm stands! The Fruit Loop is literally a 35-mile loop with tons of different farms and small stores to stop at along the way. I had the most delicious peach ever, ate my first huckleberries (#oregon), tasted fresh jellies and mustard, found beautiful sunflowers, and fed alpacas! I didn't realize this before our trip, but guys, I really want a blanket made with alpaca wool. Oh my word, these creatures have <i>the</i> softest hair. Blankets are pretty gosh darn expensive, but ah so warm and cozy!</div>

<u><b>Day 6</b></u></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The next morning, Michael and I fueled up at Blue Star Donuts. Guys. These beautiful things <i>melt in your mouth. </i>I had a blueberry bourbon basil donut all to myself, and Michael and I split an original glazed donut. I washed it down with some Stumptown cold brew, because the lovely man who helped us assured me that would be the very Portland-ian thing to do. Again, it was delicious. After breakfast, we went to check out Forest Park, which is a very long trail that is lush and green and over-brimming with beauty, and I just really wish there was a trail like this in Phoenix to run through. Like the Redwood forest, it just doesn't seem real to me.</div>

We didn't have time to walk very far before we were back in the car and headed to Husum, WA, for some white water rafting!! This was my first time white water rafting, and Michael's second. The guides from Wet Planet are AWESOME, and very thorough about going through all of the safety procedures. After the safety talk, you gear up (wow, I am glad I don't have to put a wet suit on every morning :P) and are bussed out to the river. We got in our raft with our guide and 2 other couples, and away we went! After a little while, the rapids become a little too intense for the beginners class, so we had to get out and portage. We walked up this cliff, and we had the option to jump 20 feet into the 40 degree water below. I gave a big HECK NO, but Michael did it! He always has a blast doing the things that give me heart attacks. :P Soon enough, we were back in our raft and flying down the river. At the end of the river is a 12 foot waterfall, and the guides give us the option of getting out of the raft before the water fall, or going over it. Michael and I decided to go over it, and I am glad we did! It wasn't nearly as scary as I expected.</div>

That night, we ate dinner at Pogy's Subs, and I don't have any pictures or anything, but the food was great and the customer service was the best that Michael and I have ever, ever had. We were both just super impressed, and I highly recommend stopping there to anyone who happens to go through Milwaulkie, OR. :)</div>

Hi there!
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A few weeks ago, Michael and I took a road trip from
Phoenix, AZ to Portland, OR, and it was one of the best weeks of my life! We
did so many fun things, and saw so <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">so</i>
many beautiful sights. It is a week I will always remember and cherish!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
To help me remember ;) I wanted to share some highlights
from our trip on my blog! </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<u>Day 1</u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The first day of our trip had a late start, as I went to
work in the morning. I got home around noon, and we took off to Santa Barbara,
CA! We didn’t have very much time for stops along the way, but we managed to
catch a beautiful sunset while passing through Ventura!</div>

In Santa Barbara, we stayed with my best friend’s grandma,
Kathy! Kathy was so sweet and generous to let Michael and I crash at her house
for the night. She also had a friend visiting for the night, and the four of us
ate Chinese food and watched America’s Got Talent. We wanted to rest up for a
long day of driving the next day, so this mellow evening was just what we
needed!</div>

The next day, we woke up bright and early because we wanted
to make it to our campsite in Trinidad by night fall (about 12 hours away).
Once again, we didn’t have much time to stop along the way, but we did stop in
San Francisco for lunch and I had THE yummiest pesto chicken sandwich at
Mission Picnic. Oh man, their pesto is so good!</div>

We made it to Elk County Campground in Trinidad, CA, after the office had
closed, but luckily management left a folder out for us with a receipt and a campsite
number. We set up our tent and squeezed in a quick walk before it became
completely dark out. It wasn’t until the following morning that we were able to
see what a big, beautiful campsite we were really in! </div>

campsite a little bit. The surrounding forest was so lush and green, especially
to this Phoenix girl’s eyeballs! We even found a pond! It was so nice to spend
a morning walking around after being cooped up in a car for 2 days. </span><span style="line-height: 115%;"><span>:)</span></span></span></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
We weren’t there very long before we were back in the car
for the most surreal, beautiful drive of our lives – through the Redwood
National Forest! I can’t even put into words how insanely gorgeous the Redwood
Forest is. We had planned to drive through it, but had no idea what was in
store for us. I am so very thankful that on this particular day of driving, we
were not in a rush and had the time to pull off at random spots and hike
through the magnificent trees. Although unplanned, these spontaneous mini-hikes
became one of our favorite parts of the entire trip.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The height of the trees is so overwhelmingly tall. It makes
you feel tiny and insignificant in comparison, like a little ant standing next to a man. The
width of the trees is also incredible. How can a trunk grow so thick?? Some
trunks would look like a combination of three or four trees that were combined
into one. Then you look at the color of the trees – <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">vibrant </i>green. The leaves, the moss, the grass at the base of the
trunks. The most beautiful shade of green I have ever seen. I felt like I was
on a movie set, and my character was a nymph that lived in a magical forest. My
pictures from Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park don’t do it justice, but here
they are.</div>

We eventually made our way into Crescent City, where we stopped for lunch and visited Battery Point Lighthouse. The lighthouse was closed to visitors for the day, but we still had a good time checking it out from the outside (again, we just really like being near the water!)</div>

By the end of the day, we made it to Lincoln City, OR! I was so excited to finally be able to say "We're in Oregon!" :) Lincoln City is a little town right off the West Coast, and it was chilly and beautiful. We wanted to grab a bite to eat, and there was a "Humble Pie" near our hotel. We thought it would be like the "Humble Pie" that we have back home, but no, this is definitely not apart of that chain. :) The walls were bright yellow, and <i>covered</i> in writing with Sharpie markers. The employees were wearing tie dye, and had <b>great</b> customer service. We ordered right when they were about to close, but they were so friendly about it and were joking with each other while we waited for our food to cook. We carried our pizza back up to our hotel room, where we ate dinner while watching the sun set.</div>

I hope your weekend is going well! :) Tonight I wanted to do a post featuring the outfits I wore throughout the week and shared on Instagram! I am also trying out a new app I recently discovered called Tagspire! I am able to "tag" my photos with links to everything I am wearing. Pretty cool, huh?! :)<br />

Thanks so much for stopping by! :)Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12664779642344890364noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1838515371408928922.post-40420446231353866862015-08-08T10:39:00.003-07:002015-08-08T18:47:50.490-07:00Another Use for Bobby PinsLast month I bought a cute white dress from Nordstrom that doesn't look like anything I've ever owned! I ordered it online (for 40% off, btw), and when it came in the mail I thought it was super pretty but was a little surprised at the length of it. It wasn't too terribly short, but it was borderline at the length I would wear to my office (which has a super casual dress code, just to be clear!)<br />
<br />

One thing I like about this dress is it has a built-in slip, so it is not sheer at all. When I wear white, I am always a little worried about the fabric being too sheer, but I have nothing to worry about with the slip.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i>Well</i>, the next time I washed my dress, the outer fabric shrank and became too short for me to wear as a dress. Even worse is now the outer fabric is considerably shorter than the slip underneath! Having your slip stick out a good half inch from under your dress is <b>not</b> a classy look. ;)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I didn't want to hem my dress because I can't tell if the fabric <i>really</i> shrank, or if the already crinkly material just became extra crinkly in the wash.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I didn't want to iron the dress because. . .well I never want to iron anything ever. Plus, the crinkly material is so thin, I was afraid to ruin it if I tried ironing it.</div>
<br />
My solution? Make a temporary hem using safety pins. . .except I didn't have very many safety pins. What I did have, in bountiful supply? Bobby pins!<br />
<br />

<br />
I really didn't know if the bobby pins would last all day since they're not meant to hold fabric, but they worked <i>perfectly! </i>You couldn't see them through my dress, and I couldn't feel them at all while wearing them.<br />

<br />
This didn't solve my problem of my dress being too short, so I tried wearing it as a tunic instead. I didn't expect to like how it looked with jeans, but I actually <i>loved</i> the outcome! This whole day was just full of surprises. :)<br /><center>

Anyways, I'm going to try washing and drying it again (why didn't I just do that the first time?) I'm hoping that if I don't let it sit in the dryer this time, the dress won't be so crinkly and will hang at its original length. I'll keep you posted! ;)Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12664779642344890364noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1838515371408928922.post-68174242187508388872015-08-04T20:37:00.001-07:002015-08-04T20:37:05.464-07:00Date Night at Goodwill<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

Last night Michael and I had a “Date Night”, and instead of
eating out we ate at home, and instead of paying to go see a movie we did some
thrifting at the local Goodwill. Living large and in charge. ;)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We both actually had some luck at Goodwill last night. I
found this sweater for $9.99, and it even has the original Windsor price tag on
it for $39.90. That’s what I like to see ladies! I can’t even imagine when I’ll
actually be able to wear this pretty thing, since it is currently 107 degrees
at 8:00 at night while I type this. I<s>f it ever</s> Once it cools down, I’ll
be ready!</div>

Michael was super excited last night because he found some
sliding shower doors, which were also $9.99! He wants to remodel our guest
bathroom*, but instead of going all in at once we’re going to start
accumulating pieces here and there until we are ready for our bathroom
makeover! Hopefully after a few more trips to Goodwill, we'll be ready in no time. ;)</div>

Tonight wasn’t quite as eventful. My sister came over and we
ate some Quick Bean Salad (recipe from Tone It Up), and now I’m trying to think
of a fun childhood story to share at work tomorrow! My team is supposed to
email my manager a childhood story, and then she’s going to share it with the
rest of the team and we have to guess whose story it is. Hopefully I can think
of one that’s not too embarrassing. <span style="font-family: Wingdings; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"><span style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">:)</span></span></div>

We went camping this weekend! At Blue Ridge! We only stayed
one night, but I think that was plenty of time, if you catch my drift. ;)
Michael goes camping all of the time with his broskis, and this was actually
our first time camping together! I was going to write I don’t understand how
that happened, but then I remembered that when I get to pick a weekend trip we
usually end up at the beach. #sorrynotsorry</div>

Saturday was rainy on and off the entire afternoon, and it
was such a nice refresher compared to the weather we’ve been having in Phoenix.
We explored to find “the perfect site”, and ended up at the base of the Moqui
Lookout Tower. Before I go on, here’s a picture I found online of it:</div>

We’re sitting in our car at the base of it, and Michael
looks and me and says “Do you want to go up to the top?” Uhhhhhhhh what?
Somehow, I agreed and we started climbing up to the top of this 83 foot tower.
The stairs are grated, so you can see the ground underneath you and it was
definitely making me a little nauseous climbing up. The view at the top was
worth it though! You could see for miles and miles around, and it was so
beautiful. The lookout worker at the top is even available to answer any
questions, and to give out Smokey the Bear bookmarks. Haha It was pretty neat! </div>

We soon found our campsite after that, and stayed at our
site for the rest of the day. We took a small walk, but didn’t go too far
because it looked like it would start pouring any second.</div>

Michael made a little “shelter” for a makeshift kitchen, and
hunkered down to start grilling up our chicken. About 2 seconds later, we
realized that neither of us had actually packed the chicken. Huzzah! I’m on
this diet (more on that later), and despite my inner being craving a classic
hamburger from the grill, I decided to stick to my meal plan of grilled chicken
on a bed of spinach with blueberries (and no s’mores <span style="font-family: Wingdings; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"><span style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">:( )</span></span>. Well, no chicken = a dinner
of spinach and blueberries. Michael settled for a can of chili from the general
store down the road. . .a can of chili that passed its expiration date 2+
months ago. </div>

Kayaking is HARD. Hahaha Or at least I’m not very good at
it. I must’ve spun in about 35645 circles trying to navigate myself down the

Getting them on top of our car was a whole different story.
You know when you’re trying to strap 2 kayaks on the roof of your car and one
falls down and breaks off your side mirror? So then you use some rope to tie
your side mirror to your car and pray it doesn’t fly off on the highway? Yeah,
that happened. Needless to say, I don’t think we’ll be buying our own kayaks
any time soon!</div>

We got home with plenty of time to spare for the crazy madness
of going to Costco on a Sunday, and a mad dash to Sprouts. Then after stocking
our fridge and pantry with groceries, we obviously went out to dinner. We ended
up going to True Food Kitchen so Michael could try a bison burger while I could
stick to my diet pretty easily. TFK isn’t exactly Michael’s scene, and he
pointed out that he must really love me if he is voluntarily eating dinner
there. I gently reminded him I’d been peeing out in the middle of the woods all
weekend, and marriage is all about sacrifices. ;)

Well, I take that back. I've had a bad attitude all week. I started writing about 5 Good Things that happen to me each day to help me focus and stay positive, but I didn't do a very good job of that these past few days. How silly of me, because there were plenty of good things that happened!<br />

So, without further ado--here's 5 Good Things about this week!</div>

1. Last Sunday was the P. F. Changs Rock'n'Roll Marathon! I had originally signed up for the half marathon, but got bronchitis during the last two weeks of training. I knew that running 13.1 would be too much for my body, and was pretty bummed to miss the race (and even more bummed the entrance fee was non-refundable!!) My friend Shallahn told me she was going to run the 10K, and invited me to run it with her so I did! It was perfect weather, and a ton of fun. Even better? My pace per mile was 10 seconds faster than I had anticipated! :)</div>

2. On Monday night, my Bible Study group met for the first time since Christmas! I'd been missing those girls! We prayed for one another and continued our study of Genesis. I can't think of a better way to start the week!</div>

3. Tuesday night was Date Night! Michael and I tried Carolina's Mexican Food. We have heard great things about it, but had never been there before. It is definitely a little dive restaurant (it reminded us a lot of Chino Bandidos), but my burrition was deeeeelicious! And the tortilla chips were extra salty. Nom nom nom.</div>

4. Michael and I didn't have any plans today (Saturay), which was a beautiful thing! This morning we hiked the "Scenic Trail" at McDowell Mountain Preserve. Driving there was an adventure in itself! :) The view was very beautiful, and we hardly came across any other hikers.</div>

5. Tonight was Michael's holiday office party! (It's January 24. . .a little late hahaha) It took place in this giant barn in the middle of nowhere--it literally doesn't have an address! We followed a winding dirt road before we eventually found it and were greeted with complimentary valet parking. The barn was decorated with pretty lights and crystal chandeliers. There was yummy BBQ, fun country music, and even a photo booth! It was so fun to get to meet Michael's friends from work. :)</div>
