My 1st "Sunday Social"

Hey y'all! 

Today this Sunday I decided to do join in on the fun with the whole "Sunday Social"that I keep seeing on a lot of blogs. Which this week's post seem like a good set of questions so I am like why not!

1. What is one movie you are terrified to watch? 2012: that is one movie I refuse to watch again. Something about it that is just freaked me out way to much. And I won't watch any movie that is somewhat like it either. 

2. What is one TV show you have always wanted to get into but haven’t yet? The Vampire Diaries: Everyone I seem to know is in love with this show. I used to watch the Secret Circle and this show was always on before so I would catch the last few mins of it. Which I never seem to get into it. Netflix has it on so I might give it a try. Since it is Curtis' new favorite show. 

 3. What is one daring activity on your bucket list?  I really don't have a list, but I have always wanted to Bungee Jump and I want to travel to Ireland.Oh and a road trip across country!

4. Would you ever travel alone? yes, I have already travel more than once on my own. I have flown couple of times by myself too. I don't mind it. 

5. What activities do you like to do alone? Driving, because I can just blast my music as loud as I want, and don't have to worry about that awkward moment of silence. Also cleaning house; my house. Crafting and doing things around the house. Also jogging because again no awkward moment of silence or pressure of having to talk to jogging buddy.

What I Wore Today

Well more like what I am wearing today! :p Today is a lazy kinda of day just went to the store and going to head over to the studio to do some cleaning and get it ready for tomorrow. We have a big photo shoot on Tuesday and we are rather excited about.

 My hair is back blonde in these photos. I am excited; need to touch up a few spots in the back then I am going to dye it pastel pink. :D 

Sweater: Thrift (second hand rose)

Basic Top: Ross or Rugged Warehouse?

Head Band: Christmas Gift 

 Skirt: Lane Bryant (its way to big; I have to roll it up for it to stay on)

Leggings/longjohns: Aerie 

Boots: Jessica Simpson

If I still have any! IT was been way too long since I have posted anything... Since NOV! omg.. I have miss my blog, my fellow bloggers, and just reading all my favorite blogs too. Well since NOV a lot has happened. Curtis and I have a great Christmas and new years even though I was away for New Years we still had a great one.. We did Facebook kisses :)) The reason I was away I was visiting my mother all the way up in MAINE! It was super cold and yes I flew all by my lonesome. It was a wonderful trip.

So now.. I am still doing my Photography, and I have made some new great friends and lost a few... I think it happens for the best. Well My mom is coming down in June/July. We are going to the beach in FL! We are going on the the gulf side of FL because it the prettiest. I have never see the beach in FL so I am very excited! Which gets me to a new topic I am starting Zumba classes this week.
The Zumba Project! 
I have taken Zumba before which I was in college in Greenwood. I had to stay fit! ;) So I know it works and I know it will work again! And I dont have to have a gym membership to take the class which I am happy about! It is $5 a class and I am going on Tuesday and Thursday. But since I am doing it only on two days out of the week. I am going to be jogging/ walking on the days in between.   I am really excited, I gotta look hot for the beach this year! I am really going to stick to it too.... I am hanging up my swimsuit to remind me everyday that I wanna look good in my 2 piece. So each week I will take a photo in my swimsuit up intill my trip and record my process and hope to share with you all! yay! Have any of yall done Zumba? 

Spring is coming... 
So what are yall excited about spring this year?

The Happiness Project: Week One!!

Hi! 
Trashy Betty and I are doing our own little twist to the Happiness project that The life of a Cupcake! is doing... It really got me thinking and I think it be perfect because one Winter is coming... We all get a little depressed when the cold months are here.. I know I do! So why not do little things to promote happiness and write about it in our blogs?! We are doing it for the Month of NOV and DEC. 8 weeks total. 


Each week we will have a different challenge from it be taking pictures or dancing around to a new song every day! We welcome anyone to join our little project and share your thoughts and ideas!!! And we like to thanks The life of a Cupcake! inspiring us to create our own little Happiness Project! 


Happiness Project/ Week One: 
(Wednesday Nov. 2nd - Wednesday Nov. 9th.)
*The Workout to Happiness! 
Being happy is important in mind, spirit, and in body. Melissa and I have chosen to make a lifestyle change today and begin to make out bodies happy! We will be dedicating 1.5 hr.'s every weekday solely to cardio and personal training. Along with this, we have also made promises to each other to make healthier food choices. 


* This by no means constitutes that we are not happy with our bodies, because all body sizes and shapes are beautiful. 

Featuring Adrian, an Aspiring Maine Photographer

Hey yall!!
I am doing a Feature on a Aspiring photographer which happens to be my little brother! He is living in the snowy Northern Maine with our lovely mother.. After seeing his wonderful, unique work... I thought to myself I have to do feature blog post on him!!! So please go on and read and enjoy his photography.

You can contact Adrian through Facebook. 

"Hi… my name’s Adrian, and I’m the type of person to change very frequently. Being that type of person, I find it hard at times to keep up with what I really want, or need. But recently, I found something that helps me with that. Pictures. With pictures, no matter what my mood might be that day… no matter what I may be feeling at the time, I can just pick up my camera, take a few and do whatever I please to them. It’s a freedom that I think I always will enjoy, to capture the moment in anything.

I’m inspired by mostly everyday things; things that people don’t always quite notice. The things that are right in front of you but yet you have no time to slow down and really see them. Whatever it may be, I think it makes the best pictures. It’s when I see something that sparks my interest and my mind tells me “oh, you have to get a picture of that.”


I think my favorite photo, or photos, may be the few I took on the morning of October 29^th. It was a beautiful morning, and the images I captured came out almost surreal to me. They really showed me you can capture the beauty in just about anything. Adding in the right effects, I almost made them look like paintings. They are my absolute favorites."

2. I am excited because, that I will soon have my Bug back on the road! And I am excited for the summer and hoping to see some new great places!!!! 

3. My preferred method for blowing  off steam when I'm frustrated is:  I jog, or I just cry my eyes out! Sometimes I also just listen to some crazy music very loudly. And I write too sometimes in my blog! I try to think of good times and that sometimes helps while I am doing all of this craziness. :)
