Hangout with Olivia

 I love this girl! We take multiple classes and we go to church and youth group together. It's a joy to be around her and I love our friendship! Love you Olivia! We hung out after our speech class today and took a whole bunch of fall pictures with her new camera. The pic above was taken on Friday, we went to our friend Rachel's sweet sixteen b-day party. It was so much fun getting all dressed up!

 Have to take a karate shot!

 She's so pretty

We get to do duo interpretive speeches for our speech class. So excited! I also found out this week that my speech instructor invited me to be in her Speech and debate club. She wants to coach me as well! Competition coming up in December...kinda nervous but at the same time super excited!

 

Trout Lake Fall Retreat/the night I got saved

This weekend I went to Trout Lake camp with my youth group. It was Amazing! It's one of those experiences that you'll never forget. These girls are amazing and I love them all.

We had ping pong battles and floor hockey battles. It was so much fun! I'm the one in the bright green sweatshirt on the right.

One of my best friends. Such a sweetie!

Yup, I got stuck under the car. A 15 passenger van is a tight squeeze.

Saturday night was a biggie for me. I have been raised in the church growing up and never really made a personal decision in my life on whether I would want to follow Christ or not. I hadn't made good decisions in the past and with medical issues going on at home I chose not to follow Jesus. But over the past few months I was pondering about Christ. My youth pastor was talking about a difference between Anger and Righteous anger. It made me realize that I can't continue my life like that. I was forgiving others, but not myself. My heart melted at the Chapel service at trout lake camp and I felt completely overwhelmed. I just on the spot cried in front of my whole youth group and the leaders and told them that my road has been really rough and I felt like the holy spirit was drawing me towards God. Every single person in that room started to cry, even all the guys. They prayed with me and talked to me and told me how much they loved me. And that night I got saved. It was an amazing experience that I will never forget.

Online shopping Experience

 I love online shopping! They have coupons all the time and you don't have to leave you home to go to the mall. I do admit I have a few family members who DON'T like to shop, so this is a fun and easy way for me to shop whenever I want without leaving the house. What I do is go to a thrift store or mall and find a pair of jeans from that specific company that I like and find my size and go online and buy it when it's cheaper! :D Recently Old navy had all their jeans on sale for super cheap! I haven't had really good luck at our local goodwill on jeans which means I have to start paying the big bucks. I have friends who pay $100 for a pair of jeans! I'm not saying that it's wrong, but for my price range it's a little over board. My range in price to buy brand new jeans is $20 and under.

 Old navy's top price jeans are about $35 so when their jeans are on sale it's in my price range. All their skinny jeans were on sale PLUS a 25% coupon of your purchase. Boy was I happy!

 I bought these 4 pairs of skinny jeans that were on sale for $19 plus 25% coupon was $14.97...woohoo!

 And if you have a order over $50 you get free shipping, their shipping is outrageous in my eyes.

I also got a pair of fashion boots for this Fall/Winter season. They cost me about $25 so a little more than I wanted to spend but totally worth every penny in my case.
How about you? Do you do any online shopping?

Room Clean up/Life Clean up

 

 My room never EVER gets really messy, it has been that way for as long as I can remember. When I am upset, depressed, sad, or just to plain lazy it shows! It shows in my outward appearance and in reality. A few weeks ago I walked into my room and looked around. I felt disappointed in myself. It felt like my room was an example of my heart. I don't want my attitude to be messy or stressed and act as if I don't care about anything when really that's not the case. I was depressed and mad at myself about life and choices that were being made for the new school year.

 If I want to succeed in life I can't have a pity party for myself.  I am through with being depressed and stressed about things I no longer have control of. You make yourself sick (yup and I'm sitting here typing sick with something...:P) I need to be a good example and be helpful to others instead of only thinking about myself. It was time for a cleanup in my life...starting with my room.

So Clean!

 Before

After

 

This year is going to be the best year yet no matter how stuck you seem to get. It doesn't matter what anyone else calls or thinks of you. You have a decision every day to make on whether you choose to be happy or you choose to let the enemy win.  Today I choose to be happy! :D



Prairie Fire "Beauty and the Beast" theater camp

 Hey Peeps! This week has been CRAZY busy...but a good busy! We had theater camp again...totally awesome! I am so going to miss all my friends and fabulous directors. We normally have around 80 people in our productions in the past. Only 56 this time so it was a lot smaller than usual.

 My little sister was Gypsy leader #4...she was so excited to have a speaking part! She was amazing!

 And of course I was Beauty's vain sister Lucreatia (second lead female role), it was so much fun! It was so much fun working with these girls, they were vain sisters too. Our names were Lucreatia, Morticia, Laticia, Ambitia, Narcissia, and Ishishia. That's a string of names!

 These were my girlfriends I hung out with all week, gonna miss them. We had the best of memories!

 Trying to pick her up...was it a fail?

 Nope...were all good!

 My little sister and I, she was such a good sport.

And we all bought T-shirts, so we all matched! This was a wonderful experience, but now I have to wait till spring before Prairie fire theater camps start back up again. :( I had an amazing time.

Conair You Curl Wand Review

Hey peeps! This week has been super busy, school, theater camp, karate start up, etc. So I decided to try out the Conair You Curl Wand. We bought it at Target for like $20 (on sale) so not real expensive. So the pic shows that it comes with a 3 finger heat protective glove so you don't burn your hands (like me). Works fabulous! Here's a style I tried it out with:

 

 Step #1: Brush your hair out and part it

 Step #2: Combine your hair into a high side pony tail

 Step #3: Grab a small strand of hair and wrap your hair around the Wand

 Hint: Don't forget the glove, it helps a ton!

 And keep curling

 and curling

 and curling

 and curling....till finally your done!

 Step #4: Put in any type of hair spray in your hair, I used Suave Max Hold

Untill your finally done! I think it works great on my hair (my hair like never curls). Sorry if my hair looks orange...I think its the lighting from my camera. If you want the curls to stay in longer, I would put some Aussie heat protective spray on before your curl your hair. Hope this helps!
