Pick me up

Make your own path.

I ran across this picture the other day when I was feeling a little nervous about my life after undergraduate school. I instantly fell in love with its message. 

It is not only true, but very powerful! 

So if your feeling as I did, or need that extra pick me up then I hope this assures you that anything is possible! Plus its Friday :) so it makes today that much better.

Until next time my sweets,

Celebration of Love and legal drinks!

With such beautiful weather in Wilmington...

I cannot help but be in one of those country-loving-feel-good-kind of moods, which hopefully is here to stay for the rest of the season!(This explains the new country additions to my blog playlist...I thought id share the feeling) So I bet the question to address is where have I been? Why do I keep going away? Well let me start off by saying I have been up to so much in the month of February, which happens to be my most favorite month. I mean what is there not to love about a month that is entirely dedicated to well... love! Anyways, I have been staying a busy and productive bee. Painting and ceramics have been engulfing most if not all of my free time but I have been absolutely enjoying it. I am excited to say that I have documented my entire month of festivities through pictures and cannot wait to share. So without further a due....

lets talk Valentines day!

Well, let me start off by saying that I tend to go absolutely nuts over this particular holiday... and this year was no exception! I was very fortunate that my loverboy was able to make it to Wilmington to spend it with me. Needless to say that we had an amazing day just spending some quality time together. I even managed to let my romantic side get the best of me when thinking of valentines day surprises...

Here are a few pictures of the valentines day goodies... 

 I made sure to make a candy bouquet equipped with cute little sayings

 because I just think that they are absolutely adorable!

I used a room with a projector so that I could play a little 

project that I created...

shown here.

Two days after Valentines Day I turned 

THE BIG 2-1!!

 My lovely roommates and boyfriend never seise to amaze me..

 They woke me up right at 12:00am and surprised me with this lovely 21 basket

equipped with two shot glasses, glow sticks, a princess crown, and of

 course legal alcoholic beverages. It was so thoughtful and awesome :)

I also snagged a few birthday smooches from this sweet boy...

 The birthday festivities carried on until the weekend when I got

to celebrate with my wonderful family! 

 I am happy to announce that I am a new pandora bracelet owner

and absolutely loving it. Every family member picked out a charm 

so it makes this gift near and dear to my heart.

 Oh and did I mention that my birthday cake was delicious? 

To make my birthday even more perfect I got to park in the second 

spot in the parking garage... believe me I was super excited! 

Now that I have recapped my entire February experience...

It is time to welcome the month of March with open arms! I cannot help but be excited about the Spring season, which I hope to fill with tennis games, picnics, and sundress attire. Ah I get so giddy just thinking about it... Anyways, Happy Tuesday!

Until next time,

P.S new song obsession... check it out!

Born this way

While in Barnes and Noble today I came across this song on the internet and thought it was not only inspirational but entirely truthful. So please read on :)

"I'm beautiful in my own way 'cause God makes no mistakes. 

I'm on the right track baby, I was born this way. Don't hide yourself in regret, just love yourself and you're set. I'm on the right track baby, I was born this way..." 

- Lady Gaga's "Born This Way"

Happy Sunday everyone!

Until next time,

Im back and im feeling good!

So the beginning of the semester is always pretty extremely hectic...

 Luckily, everything for me has started to wind down.. phew finally :). 

So here I am blogging again and absolutely loving it! 

Let me catch you all up on what on earth ive been doing....

First off, lets jump right into business... this past weekend I received a new hair make over :) I had been longing to dye my hair dark for awhile now and last Saturday I finally got the guts to do it! 

What do you think?

Before

and after...

Bryce and I had an extensive mac book sesh.. 

but im happy to report that...

I am loving every minute of being a newly dark haired brunette!

Now lets back up a little bit...

About a week and a half ago my roommate Kelsey and I decided to give our living room a new makeover... we wanted it to be inviting yet sophisticated.. we basically wanted to create a "home-y" like cozy feel. Take a look!

We added new pillows, table cloth, lamp, little table, and the wall pieces! 

We were so happy with the results...I fell in love with the wall flowers 

they were simply the perfect touch! 

After playing home makeover, it was time for some more fun.

Here are a few pictures of my aquarium trip

Bryce came to visit me so we decided to do something different

I forgot just how much I love going to the aquarium!

My favorite animal there believe it or not was the jelly fish...

I even got to touch one (it didn't have the stinging tentacles)

The aquarium was a huge success! I can't wait to go back.

Now onto last weekend...

My brother's birthday festivities!

My baby brother turned the big 1-4 which I still cannot believe!

We ate at Ryan's favorite italian restaurant, Bocci.

Heather and I were big fans as well...

After dinner we opened presents and reminisced about the younger years.

Overall it was an amazing weekend with my family. I am so thankful

 that I got to spend my brother's special day with him :)

Oh and did I mention that I went on a little shopping spree?

Whenever my mom and I are together we go absolutely crazy...

here is the proof... Exhibit A

We are the ultimate shopping duo :) and I love it!

My lover boy even surprised me with an early valentines present!

Its called a jade plant and it symbolizes friendship and love.

Isn't it cute?

Now that I have recapped my last few weeks...

It is time to move onto my Friday adventures!

I can't wait to share what stories this weekend holds in store for me :)

Happy Friday everyone!

Until next time,

-Meg

Just dance extravaganza!

so hang in there my loves!
Until next time,

A painting story

So here it is ladies and gents... my first painting story!

I thought that it would be fun and exciting to start a new tradition! Every time that I paint something new I will document the entire process from the bare canvas all the way down to the final piece
...and don't forget the corky/delirious photos that were taken.

So lets begin my red daisy story... once upon a time there was an idea...

An idea that was so vibrant and beautiful that it just had to be painted!

This idea came with challenges but nothing stood in the way of its beauty!  

Along side of the artist was her trusty sidekick, equipped with countless
 motivational speeches as well as loads of support...

 

The painting took hours upon hours of

concentration which led to pure looniness...

(Please do not judge me haha) 

Day and night the artist painted...

The artist at times had a few crazy moments

 (which occurred during the wee hours of the night) 

But all of those crazy moments made the process that much more enjoyable!

Days turned into weeks which finally lead to the most

anticipated magical moment...

The finished red daisy! :)

Via

I am hoping to document my future pieces so I can share them with you all :)

Hope you enjoyed my story ha! It was so much fun to just spend the past few weeks on this painting, I had a blast... more paintings to come soon so stay tuned!! 

Happy Thursday everyone.

Until next time my loves,

-Meg
