Who's that girl?

Nope its not Jess. Even though do I love the show New Girl with Zoe D. 

But I recently got a hair cut and I'm told when I pull my bangs forward I look like her. 

I found it extreme but who knows maybe I kinda do. 

One of the guys I work with is a die hard for Zoe and he started to swoon when 

I did the full bang. It was quite hilarous. He said," Weird! I'm super attracted to you right now. You
look just like her." Yeah, weird. 

It made me laugh so hard. 

So tell me what you think of the new do. Do I look like Zoe D?
I really don't think so.

Also I've been swooning over Christina Perri's A Thousand Years. 

I like it because I can relate in a way. I can't for that wonderful

day when I'm finally with the guy I've been waiting for.

I'm not a twihard I jumped of the wagon after the first movie came out. 

I was for a while but not anymore. 

I have my reasons but I'm keeping them to myself. 

I'm just like the feeling I get when I listen to this. 

I'm starting to get a hang of this patience thing.

Bringing Pretty Back

I read an article that So, hi shared with her readers. 

It got me thinking. Why do girls really aspire to be "hot" when boys 

prefer girls to be pretty. 

Going at BYU-I you would think everyone is modest and all. 

But even the modest limit tries to get pushed to a lower cut shirt or a shorter skirt. 

I even had girls in YSA student ward asked to go home to change into 

something more modest. 

So why the hotness? Is it because we think its what men want?

Why do we feel like we can't flaunt our natural you pretty. 

I've gotten it from how boys and men talk. 

I hung out with a goup guys  for half a semester. 

How they talked about women and young women made me think they wanted that hot factor. 

Gratefully I never went in that direction and stuck to be lovely little me. 

Later some of them got girlfriends that didn't have that "hot"factor they were 

always talking about. I was a little confused but it did prove the whole 

pretty vs. hot. 

So girls flaunt the natural pretty. 

But being hot is okay once in a while.

Just not to an extreme. 

Don't flaunt the stuff that has become a commodity. 

Be your best self. 

Bring Pretty Back!

Real men love pretty.

You Owe it to Yourself

Thats my mantra when I'm working out. 

It really helps when the work out is hard and I don't want to push hard anymore. 

My mom said it to me when I felt like crap because I had gained 

weight from my thyroid being attacked by my immune system. 

It makes you feel better and boost your self esteem when you look good. 

Exercising has becoming has become really important to me. 

It keeps me sane and healthy. 

Running is still a love hate relationship and sometimes I want to 

start yelling at Beto on my Zumba DVD{more like smack him for his weird comments}. 

College has taught me how important it is. 

It helped me through my finals and cooling off when roommate stress arises. 

My parents Nordic Track Treadmill{which is amazing, its got live terrian. LOVE!}

is being a constant right now. When I've felt frustrated about being home

I hit the treadmill. 

Running shoes are pretty awesome. Sometimes I could put my relationship status on facebook as 

in a relationship with running shoes. But FB can be lame and won't let me do that. 

I am a recent Pintrest addict and these are some of my favorite work outs

which I do after I run.  I want to get my six pack out of the cooler. hehe :)

And some motivation.

seriously this was great motivation for me. 

Don't ever want to have my insides go through that!

And its not really that great on the outside either.

Just Do It! You owe to yourself.  

Stache

I think I am having way to much fun with illustrator. 

Yes I do have a fetish for mustaches. 

Mostly fake ones. Real ones can be kinda creepy. 

Pintrest is feeling me in on some great stuff.

I'm becoming an addict. 

I'm also extending an invitation to follow me!

Here is some of my favorite stuff with mustaches.

Oh and we can't forget about the mold I got for Christmas :)

Respect the fake stache. Respect it. 

Life {what it'll be like for a while}

Its true I have more exciting things to write about when I'm up at college. 

Boys, roommates, Rexburgians, and the weirdo girls. 

When I'm home...its pretty much work, doing things at home, and the singles ward.

I love where I'm from but there really isn't anything exciting about. 

I'll be honest...I love my bishopric at the singles ward in Burley. 

Not the kids who are still stuck in high school...yup not a fan. 

I love where I work! I love being a waitress. 

I love being with my family. I love not paying rent. 

I love that my relationship with my siblings and parents is a lot more positive. 

Not strained like it was in High school. 

I love being able to watch my siblings grow up. 

Those things I love about being home. 

But I miss Linds, Alba, Tracey, and the rest of my friends. 

I miss {can't believe I'm saying this} my stressful ART130 class. 

I miss going for a run up to the temple. 

I miss the Hart Gym{yes because of the sweaty men}

I miss being at devotional. 

I miss the spirit that I feel at BYU-I.

I miss really feeling like my actual self. Not having to repress it because of 

how stuck in high school some people are in the singles ward here. 

That I do miss. 

Sometimes trade offs stink but thats life. 

I know somethings will never be the same. 

I know everything about my life is changing fast. 

But thats okay. I trust my Heavenly Father in what he has in store for me.

Life at home will be good for me.

2012's Resolutions

Oh the favorite thing to do at the beginning of the year

only to be forgotten in a couple of months. 

Well I'm hoping not to forget because I have it written them down and 

posted them publicly.

{1} Get organized-keeping my room clean for more than 2 hours

{2} Working out every morning-at least everyday 

{3} Study the Book of Mormon for 30 minutes a day-not just read study

{4} Draw, take a picture, or design something everyday-gotta keep the juices flowing 

{5} Choose to be happy while I am at home

You'll notice my blog is going through renovations yet again. 

As much as I loved having the yellow flower background it was time for a cleaner look 

for everything. So please pay no mind to the changes now. 

I'm mostly experimenting with illustrator and html. 

What are some of your New Year Resolutions?
