Friday already?

Where has this week gone? It feels like it went by in a blink of an eye. Or to me it feels like it has! I'm going to do list the run down of my kind of hectic week! Hope you enjoy it just as much as I did!

Sunday:
As you know it was Superbowl Sunday. And as I like to refer to it as, Beyonce's concert! YoungLife had the most amazing time indulging in the cheesy and sweet treats! I may or may not have predicted the power outage...strange. You can ask Bailey! I loved the halftime performance & I'm so glad the rumors of Destiny's Child were confirmed! I'm also glad that the Ravens got the win!

Monday:
Jen and Bailey introduced me to Firehouse Subs. IT WAS AMAZING. They have the drink machine just like Moe's does! It was so good! You have got to try it if you have never had it! Its not all that expensive but more than it would cost you to eat at a fast food joint. Overall Monday was a good day because I got a 3 hour nap in before that..but it caught up with me later that night.. no fun :(

Tuesday:
PRETTY LITTLE LIARS. Of course I made Kendrick watch it with Emma and I! So intense. I am addicted to this show...almost as much as Dance Moms. I love to hate Abby Lee Miller. She is so dang mean to those little girls who are only 8-10 years old. And the mothers!!!! CRAZY! You haven't seen either one of these shows you can find season one of Pretty Little Liars on Netflix and ABCFamily. You can catch Dance Moms on Lifetime! You'll see what Abby is really like!

Wednesday:
FIRST YL CLUB OF THE NEW YEAR! Holy moly what great fun! Julia and I got together after school to make, and fail at, sugar cookies with butter cream icing and blue icing 'YL' on them. We also made chocolate cupcakes with white icing and blue icing 'YL'! Everyone loved them! There were none to take home! What can I say... people love food. We played a really fun game called Guess Who I am? Basically, everyone has a post it note stuck to their back and they have to ask each other yes or no questions to try and figure out who they are! I was Justin Timberlake :) Then after singing some country songs & 1 amazing new worship song together we sat down for Jen to talk to us! This is my favorite part of club, when a leader gets up in front of all of us and sort of testimonies to us and shares scripture with us. Its such an amazing thing to mix all the fun of being with your friends and all the joy that the Lord brings us! If you're in high school and you haven't experienced a YL club please contact me on my facebook page or via twitter!

Thursday:
Lately after school I have been taking advantage of Sun Tan City's Free Tan Week! My dermatologist told me to go to help with my current skin condition. And it has! Then when I got home I took the time to do some yoga! And then the girls of the fam + Cecile went to workout! It was great to finish off the day with Vampire Diaries! Another show that I recommend that is on Netflix and airs on the CW.

Friday:
Long long lonnnnggg day of class. Yuck. Hopefully the Generals will try to stand up against Trinity tonight! I cannot wait to watch some basketball after the day Ive had!

Also! My cousin Janet is selling Initials Jewelry! Check her website out! You wont be sorry! Anyways.. I think that's all for this week! Hopefully Ill have a pretty chill weekend!

God Bless, Xoxo

Skin care, pancakes, birthdays & American Idol!

Now I bet you're wondering what skin care, pancakes, birthdays, and American Idol all have in common. Those were my highs and lows of yesterday's events. 

Over the weekend, after struggling from recovering from my second round of strep throat in a month I started noticing dry patches of red irritated skin on my face and then later on my whole body. I just blew it off thinking to myself that it was my normal dry skin that the winter brings on me. 

[my face covered by psoriasis]

My doctor went on to tell me that it wouldn't go away for about a month & she couldn't promise that it would go away completely. GREAT! This is just another thing on my list of health related issues!

In an effort to give my grandma a great birthday the family and I traveled to Chevy Chase to introduced my grandparents and Emma to Josie's! If you've never had it, you're missing out! Everything I've gotten there is good! And good looking too! I ordered their Sweet & Meat. This consists of 3 pancakes anyway you like with a choice of meat for a side.

[pancakes smothered in whipped cream& strawberries]

Doesn't that just look delicious?

All the females have been introduced to the new charm bracelet company called Pandora. I'm guessing you've heard of it and probably even own one. The purpose of pandora is to collect meaningful charms that signify who you are. So grandma had received one for Christmas, now the appropriate thing to do would be fill with charms. You can buy one here!

[we got her the wildflower charm]

Isn't it adorable?!

If you're not aware American Idol has yet another panel of new judges. They now have Veteran Randy Jackson, Mariah Carey, Nicki Minaj, and my favorite.....Keith Urban! Eric this ones for you buddy!!!!!

Mainly what I wanted to talk about with this because on last night's episode of auditions there was a lot of talent present! One guy especially stood out, not because of looks, but because of his amazing voice. I was, along with the rest of my fam was SHOCKED to say the least. Make sure to check it out!!

It wasn't the craziest day I have had in a while but there was a lot going on. Today I'm going to my lovely YL leader, Jen's house (she has a great blog check it out!) to finish up reading John 1&2! Hopefully her little bean, Emmie, will be awake and ready to show off her jumperoo skills! Shes about to start crawling. Its crazy to think that shes already 6 mo. old! It seems like yesterday Jen was 8 mo. pregnant at camp. Emmie loves to take selfies so I have included my favorite one of hers below.

Then Kendrick is taking me out to dinner! What a lovely treat! Then hopefully we will travel to see Lafayette take on Catholic. Praying that the Generals will come away with the win! And of course, I have to finish my night of with the new episode of The Vampire Diaries. (Totally TeamStelena)

 

 

Anyways.. what are you doing tonight?

 

 

Xoxo, God Bless
