Pinterest Freak.

In honor of Pinteresting Tuesday, this is a link shared by my friend.

It is hilarious. And I would like to state, completely against what I believe.

In fact, I am guilty of 5/6 of these Pinterest accusations. 

Six:

I will never deny my love of Mason Jars.

Five:

I truly enjoy Quinoa. 

Even though I totally agree it looks nasty.

Four:

I think crock pots are awesome and I want one so I can make everything possible in it.

Three:

I tried to make 3 different Egg Pinterest Projects over Easter.

(None of which turned out)

One:

For Valentines Day I fully tried to cut Matts ham breakfast sandwich into a heart.

Not even joking a little bit.

This is 100% making fun of everything that describes me.

Yet, I can fully appreciate this.

And I realize I'm that freaky artsy Pinterest girl.

Love me or hate me.

Happy Tuesday lovelies.

Get Me OUT OF HERE!

So we officially have 18 days until finals here at Liberty.

What does that mean? That means campus is BUZZING with a serious "Get me out of here!" attitude. I am no exception to that.

Some awesome parts about this semester include the fact that it went by really fast (until now of course, which seems to be dragging on.)

We've had the house and a car so we've gotten the privilege of not being on campus 24/7 like last semester. 

(TRUST ME this is a very very awesome part.)

Ry and Ky are here which is really great :]

Pretty much everything this semester has been about 100% better than last!

(And I definitely didn't hate last semester, so that means this one has been AWESOME)

However, I have 3 weddings including my own coming this summer, it's nice and sunny every day, and I could really go for some cash income as of right now. All of these factor into me dying to get out of school and on with the summer!

So here are some things I'd rather be doing than school work!

One:

Camping... Please.

Two:

Eating more West Coast sushi. 

Not to mention coffee. 

(how I love coffee)

Three:

The Warrior Dash.

This looks so awesome.

Four:

The Color Run.

(Sadly it's full back in Seattle :[ )

Five:

Now doesn't this just look dreadful?

Six:

I'm dying to try paddle boarding!

Sadly, we have no real oceans in Seattle ;]

Seven:

Hang out with this guy.

Eight:

Sit on this cliff.

(haha just kidding, you should know by now that I'd rather die than do ^^ that!)

Well guys, this was the lamest way I've avoided math homework via blog so far.
Sorry you have to waste your time on this :]

So Close to the End,

How Pinteresting.

Pinteresting Tuesday!

I can't believe it's already Tuesday!

And yet it seems like it should already be Friday all at the same time.

Have I told you that I'm ready for school to be OVER?

Well I surely am. How about you?

What are you looking forward to?

To brighten the mood of the dreaded Tuesday, how about some awesome Pinterests?

One:

So I found this "Sweating for the dress" tank on Etsy... And I am dying to have it! Then I found this "make your own racer-back tank" and now it's official that I must make it.

{I sincerely think I have too much confidence in my skills sometimes}

If someone else would like to make this for me, I will accept. ;]

Two:

So the idea on Pinterest is this:

"Your first year of marriage take a picture for every season, then frame all four photos in a square frame"

I think this is phenomenal. And I want it.

Three:

Reasons I am posting this:

a) I love Zooey Deschanel (that was a given).

b) I think this is hilarious yet so so true.

c) This pretty much defines my fiancé's expectations of life.

d) I think it is so funny to picture this happening!

Four:

Sometimes when I am up late talking with my roommates, family, playing games, doing ridiculous things--studying <-- scratch the studying, this has nothing to do with studying--I need to remember this, because how true? It makes my heart smile a little bit. :]

Five:

Advertising at its finest.

This is hysterical, and if you disagree, you have no funny bone ;]

Six:

This is also hilarious, and who doesn't need more funny in their life? 

I will fill you all in on my weekend tomorrow, I hope!

I hope this brings a smile to your Tuesday!

So much love,

xo/Austin

Flaws.

As a rule of thumb we all want to make ourselves look flawless to other people.

Thats why when you are practicing for interviews people tell you to make something positive about yourself into a kind of negative.

Example: "I am just too caring, it sometimes gets in the way with my work."

We all know that is probably not true.

Yes, even the interviewer.

Blogs/Facebook/Twitter/any other social media website is pretty much 100% designed for making yourself looking good to others.

I hope you all realize I'm not as awesome as I clearly seem (that was a joke, I'm pretty awesome).

(But seriously, that's a joke too)

I decided that since I'm all about being "real" I am going to share with you all some of my flaws.

Hope you enjoy these, cause I'm breaking all blogging etiquette right now.

One:

I am the most selfish car sleeper ever.

Let me explain this, when I have to sleep in a car, I don't care who is around me, who is in the car, who wants the pillow or who wants more seat, I will take my fair share (and/or much more than my fair share) of what I need in order to be comfortable in the car.

I don't know why. I think cars make me delirious. 

If I have to sleep in the same bed as someone else, I am rather thoughtful and caring for their comfort. 

I actually feel bad when I accidentally steal all of the blankets in the middle of the night, or get too close to their bubble.

But put me in a car and it's survival of the fittest.

Two:

I have a pretty bad staring/face making problem.

If I see someone doing something socially abnormal/unacceptable, I will stare at said person in order to get the entire experience.

Sometimes they catch me staring at them...

It usually doesn't stop me.

I also tend to make faces when I think someone is being a bit of an idiot.

I should really work on it.

Three:

I am way way way too competitive.

I don't like to lose.

Not in anything.

Challenge me to Candyland and I'd still be mad if I lost.

I've tried to work on this problem many times, but it's never helped.

I really need to find a way to change that.

Four:

I am really bad at cracking eggs.

When I was like 5 years old, I was pretty good for a 5-year-old at cracking eggs.

Unfortunately I never got any better with age.

Five:

I ask a lot of questions.

About pretty much anything.

You could say I use people's knowledge of things I don't know about to learn.

It would be not so bad, but I am sure it gets annoying and I'm sure there are many people who think to themselves "Doesn't she know about Google?"

And this also makes it hard for me to decide what questions are appropriate and inappropriate to ask people. Like "how did you lose your left hand?" And other things like that.

Six:

I am not even a little bit of a germ-o-phobe.

I am that person who will cut off the mold and eat the rest.

If a sandwich hasn't been in the fridge when it should have been, I will still eat it.

If it drops on the floor, eh dirt won't hurt, right?

I will take a sip of pretty much anyone's drink.

This is weird and kind of grosses some people out sometimes.

It will probably end up bad for me eventually, but I give 

Seven:

I'm pretty even tempered at all times, which makes it hard for me to act over enthused about basically anything. 

So seeing people I don't care to see, I am not a great pretender.

When I meet people they often think I'm rude or have a bad attitude because I am poor at acting overly nice because I don't like to act fake! So usually it takes some time for people to understand me and that I really am being nice. Something problematic in my life.

And also, I hate opening gifts in front of people because I can't pretend that I like something more than I do. And if I do try to pretend it isn't fooling anyone.

Trust me loves, there are many more flaws than just those seven, but I can't share everything that sucks about me in one blog post--I want you all to still check in here! 

Question: What are some funny/weird flaws about you?

Happy Thursday Guys!

Honestly,

Pinteresting Tuesday: Spring Fashion.

So I didn't get around to posting some house pictures.

Are you even surprised?

Didn't think so.

I'll get to it soon though I promise!

Since today is Pinteresting Tuesday I think it is the perfect day to show some Spring/Summer fashion statements I am completely obsessed with right now. 

Maxi Dresses:

I have a serious addiction to maxi dresses right now. 

I literally think I could wear one every single day.

Only, I need to own one to do that.

hmm... I need to fix that.

Fringe Bathing Suits:

I will need one of these for summer.

But I can only get one if I get into the shape I want to be in!

Bribery you call it? Heck yes it is!

Bright Prints:

I love these bright colors! 

What better time to rock prints than summer?

Note: I also really really really want the dress on the left.

Shoes:

I love sandals right now!

I also love wedges... But I can't pull those off quite so well.

Hair:

Loving beachy hair and as always hair scarfs!

Humor:

This has absolutely nothing with summer or fashion... but it's Pinteresting Tuesday and you need a good laugh, don't we all?

Oh man guys I am so excited for summer! 

How about you?

What are you fashion obsessions for spring/summer?

Live Beautifully,

Hello, Pinteresting Tuesday.

So believe it or not, but it's sometimes difficult to come up with enough awesomeness to fill every Pinteresting Tuesday.

Or maybe I am just too critical of what really makes the cut.

Either way we could say I have been a bum the past few weeks when it comes to Pinteresting Tuesday updates.

Oh well. That's in the past.

Pinteresting Tuesday this week:

One:

Homemade fingerprint necklace?

Yes please.

Two:

For all those jeans or jean shorts that don't fit well anymore or the ones that are falling apart... this is the cutest way to fix that problem! Just sew some lace to them (I say that like I know how to sew...)

Three:

Tell me you don't want to know how to pack this much into a carry-on bag... This is from a flight attendant who tells you exactly that. This could save me so much money.

Four:

This makes me want to live on a lake just so we could do this in the summer.

And it also kind of reminds me of Parent Trap. (anyone?)

Five:

For you friends who are on Pinterest have you seen the posts saying: "Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels?"

This is my retort to that.

:]

I've missed you guys.

What has been going on in your lives?

I'll try to catch y'all up this week on my life here in the exciting state of Virginia.

Until then avoir,

xo/Austin  

Pinteresting Tuesday!

Sorry about the bleak blogging.

It's been crazy getting all settled in here at school and I'm having a hard time finding time to update!

You know I can't miss Pinteresting Tuesday though right? 

One:

So today was so nice out that I am just about ready for summer... Which means I need to do this. Just looks like yarn and string... I'll keep you updated.

Two:

How to get seeds of a pomegranate out without staining everything and popping them! (The Pinterest title wasn't quite so long... but that's mine) Go here and find out how! 

Three:

I've kind of been wanting some colored jeans... What do you think of these? Or maybe another color? Thoughts?

Four:

I kind of hate heights. (In case you've never heard that). But this is so sweet and romantic and I just want it to be summer so we can do this!

Five:

1) I kind of am in love with the "Sexy and I Know It Song" by LMFAO. I think it's hilarious. 2) This dog is adorable, which makes want him. 3) The dog + the song= hilarious and adorable.

Happy Tuesday!

I'll try to keep up better this week.

Lots of Love,

xo/Austin

Postponed Pinterests.

A day (or two) late... and a dollar short.

Sorry friends! Tuesday was my birthday!

So no posting on that day for me!

How have your weeks been going?

Mine is good! But I can already tell this semester is going to be a tough one!

For my birthday my amazing roomies woke me up at 12:05am with a song, "Happy Birthday" banners, a "Happy Birthday" crown, and gifts!

It was the best way ever to wake up on my birthday!

Did you miss Pinteresting Tuesday?

Sorry about that, but Thursday should suffice right?

Here we go...

One:

This pin has two parts... 1) I have always secretly wanted to find a message in a bottle! When I was a kid my brother and I would go searching every time we were at a beach for hidden messages in bottles... Maybe from someone who was stranded on a dessert island? 2) I have been dying to go on vacation lately. I know what you're thinking... "you were just on vacation for a whole month!" I don't mean a break from school vacation. I mean a warm, lay on the beach, get a tan, and do absolutely nothing vacation. That kind.

Two:

I have an exercise equipment problem. I love shoes. I love everything exercise clothes. I really don't need new shoes... But if I did, these would be at the top of the list.

Three:

Currently loving the bright royal blue color that's become ever so popular. Also another thing I've also been really wanting is a new bag... This will do ;]

Four:

This is genius. Stuff a banana peel (with the banana still in it) with all kinds of yummy chocolate, peanutbutter, etc. And grill it on a campfire. Yes please.

Five:

This kid's face... cracks me up.

Also!!

Remember when I posted this? Well my amazing Aunt made me one for my birthday!! He looks almost exactly like this! Maybe even better. It's so cute and I was so excited! I already informed Matt that when we have our first kid we are forcing them to have a safari bedroom... And this can be his/her stuffed animal... After it's mine for awhile of course ;]

The week is almost over friends!

Keep holding on!

Love&Pinterest,
