EXCITING NEWS & MY GETAWAY VACATION!!!

By
Happy weekend everyone!!!  I have had the most stressful beginning of the week because I had my huge/very important State Board exam for my esthetics license.....but good news.....I PASSED IT!!!!  I am now officially a licensed esthetician and I could not be happier.
I am hoping in the near future to post more on my blog in regards to skin care in general and different products and reviews and such so stay tuned for that!

Before my big test, like the week before, Tyler and I decided that we wanted to get away for a bit for Valentines and to just go relax somewhere.  We thought that Mammoth area would be perfect.  We actually stayed with his Aunt at her beautiful home and a bunch of his family decided to come to.  It was an incredible trip of skiing, playing board games, cooking, catching up with his family and simply just relaxing.

I have some fun photos to share from the trip and I hope you enjoy! 

The drive in.

Me obsessing over these goggles that Ty let me borrow!

First night there, paella for dinner!

The next day was Valentines. (:

Some of the street.


Some of the family went Nordic Skiing while the others went back country snowboarding!



Two of Tyler's little cousins.  Too cute.




Sledding!

Here's some of the gang!


Together on Valentines.

At June Mountain.


My man! :D

The top of a slope.

It was sooo beautiful and actually really hot!






He was so cute filming us all on his new go pro!







We made some cute little friends.


The next day we went into Bishop to go to Schat's of course.  Seriously you guys....best bread on the planet.  Every time we are at his Aunt's house or near it, we have to stop at Schat's.  And they also serve delicious lunch!




Ty and some of his cousins were messing around on some bikes and built a dirt jump.

It had snowed during one of the nights and my goodness the next morning it was gorgeous!

His Aunt's pup.  Sola.  Can you spot her?

We decided to take some poles and go on a little snow hike!









This is over looking her neighborhood.

I feel like looking at this, that I am in Norway or something.  Definitely not California.


At the top.




***sighs***

How cool was the ice that was on our car the next morning?!  Crazy!


Once we were back, a couple friends came to visit for like a day and we decided to do a little touristy walk to Coit Tower!


Saw the most beautiful little thing on the way.


Views!

Some cute little homes that made me feel like I was in a different country!

For dinner we went to this new brewery/restuarant and I got a super yummy cider and the fish and chips.  DUH

They had this art for sale too...I mean come on.  That is literally me in a nutshell.

It was a beautiful day!


The tower! lol



I love the colors that come from the sunsets.  Just perfect.


Well I hope you guys enjoyed my photos and reading about my new accomplishment.  I am hoping that more good things will come my way in the near future.  (:  I am sure they will.

I hope you all have an amazing and safe weekend and I will write soon!

Hi everyone!!!  Sorry this post is a little late....but I have literally had zero time to do anything!!!  BUT good news is that I should be done with school in the next couple weeks!  OMG.  I literally cannot believe it.  I have learned so much the past six months and have grown into a stronger and more confident person when it comes to skin care.  I will be sad to leave my new friends but know that we will stay close no matter what (: ANYWAY...lol lets get into the photos! These were all from Christmas Day.  It was literally perfect.  It was just us and we made cinnamon rolls from scratch and went for a ride and then made an incredible dinner!  Oh and cuddled the cats of course.  Very pleased with everything that I got for Christmas too! Ty and I drove down to OC to visit with family and friends for New Years.  Our first stop was at the Too Faced Cosmetics headquarters ...

Hii everyone!  I hope you're having a great great start to the week.  We are still just packing away up here in SF.  Getting ready to move next weekend!  I cannot believe how quickly it has come.  We are trying to fit in all the things that we want to do here before we move. In today's post, I am sharing with you Tyler and I's 9 year anniversary celebration!  It was the most perfect day.  Beautiful weather and it was just so lovely to spend time together. I got us some sweet treats from Susie Cakes a little early because they were too good to pass up.  LOL On our actual anniversary, we wanted to try 'Mr. Holmes Bakehouse' because we have heard so much about it.  And there were toooo many choices. Clearly we went ham and got almost like one of each.  HAHA Too bad we ate them ALL! We came across this view when driving around the city!  How beautiful. We decided to find a secluded bench ...

10 THINGS TO DO DURING THE FESTIVE SEASON...

By
I am excited to be writing this post because I l o v e doing fun festive things this time of year and now that it is December...it's going to fly by.  And I would hate for it to be all over and I have not done anything fun! Here are a few things you can do with your kids, lovers or friends this Holiday season that will for sure bring you some cheer! 1. Watch Christmas films!  I mean DUH!  There are tons of great movies out there to watch.  MY favorites are definitely the old 'claymation' classics like Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer & Santa Claus is Coming to Town.  But there are others like ELF & Christmas with the Kranks that are hilarious.  Another great place to watch films like these is on ABC family.  They have a schedule for when they show certain films. (: 2. Look at Christmas lights.  This has a l w a y s been one of my favorite things to do during the holiday season ever since I was a little girl.  You can hop in the car...

Hi everyone!!!!!  ONLY 4 MORE DAYSSSSS OMG!!! As you can see, I am not excited for Christmas at all. (: This post is one of my all time favorite sugar cookie recipes and they are literally so delicious.  I am eating one while I type.  LOL I love that when they bake, they don't spread and the icing is so simple yet so yummy. Let's get started! You will need: ~1 cup of butter softened ~1 cup of white sugar ~1 teaspoon vanilla extract ~1/4 teaspoon almond extract ~1 egg ~2 teaspoons baking powder ~3 cups of flour + more for when you roll out the dough ~powdered sugar ~milk (This recipe yields approximately 30 cookies-that's how many I made-but feel free to double if need be!) Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and line two-three baking sheets with parchment paper. In a bowl or in your mixer, mix your sugar and butter together. Then add in your egg and extracts. In a separate bowl, sift your flour and baki...
