What I am reading now and Instagram photos

Hey y'all
It has been a while since I have done a post! I miss blogging and being back at home it seems to be a little harder to do because I seem to be busy or I just don't have anything to say. Anyway. How is everyone? How is everyone enjoying all this Spring rain? It is finally pretty and HOT outside! I am excited because I can wear my tanks and shorts now. Not a whole lot has happen since the last time I posted I don't think.

I got my nose pierced and well it hurt so much omg it hurt! I jumped and tears ran. It was worst than a tattoo. And if I bump it or rub it the wrong way it hurts. But it healing pretty fast it still to early to change out the stud. I am wanting to put in a ring. I think it more hippie like with a ring.
Here are some pics of my Nose... Curtis and I before I got it done and the 2nd is after I had it done. Don't mind the eye brows they are a mess in that photo!!

So that's about it that has happened. I hung out with my bridesmaid a few Saturdays back, we went dress shopping which that was stressful! But I have some news. WE are pushing the wedding back a year because the venue is booked and we really like it so we are going to get married next year so that takes some stress away. AND we have more time to plan but my dress will still be here end of June! So I am super excited!

Here some more lovely photos from May!

I now have an iPhone!!!! yay! That means I have an Instagram so follow me @glitterandcupcakess 

Now for what I am reading now...  Let's just say this is amazing book and it is a must read for Christians. :)) 

This month goals: I figure I would share on her. 

Jog and workout 2 to 3 times a week, drink lots of water,  cut back on my sweet intake. I know I am always say I am going to get back to 150 but hey I am DAMN motivated to loose and tone up. I am tired of having flab and a belly! 

My goal is to loose 20 pounds by the end of June. I think thats realistic. And 30 to 50 by the end of July. 

I am not going to post a photo of some celeb because that is not realistic so I am going to post a photo what I used to look like when I started dating Curtis so this photo is 4 years old and I am going to post a now picture. I think I am 180ish now.  

At 150lbs: Even then I could have toned up more but Its realistic bc I once was that size and I am still the same height. I might not have the same metabolism so it will take more work but I am willing to try to get back to this size. SO wish me luck! 

 

Now for the NOW picture.... :// Be nice!! So you seem my problem areas. I think I can do it, no I KNOW I can do it!! :D

Happy Spring!

Hey y'all!
It has been awhile since I have posted anything. So I am back in South Carolina and is trying to get back into the swing of things. It is nice to be back in south. It is pretty and warm and I couldn't image living any where else. Don't get me wrong Maine is nice and beautiful in the Fall, but I can't take the 6 month long winters. It is just too crazy cold there. Anyway a lot has happened since I have been back ONE the house was a mess when I got back, oh poor Curtis haha So I have been trying to clean and de clutter the house, it looks like a man cave right now. So it is a good reason to redecorate right? TWO We got a new BIKE yes its awesome and it is a bigger and more comfy bike. It is made for long road trips which I have already planned our 1st big road trip. New Orleans  baby! I have always wanted to go and we have never been. Have any one of y'all been? Last weekend we took the bike on our 1st big ride I guess you could say. We rode up to Chimmy Rock NC. It was a nice ride and we were about 20 miles from Asheville. We are hoping it be sunny again Saturday so we can go some where else. But Curtis is in love with his bike he has been riding it everyday to work. I am just happy for him, he has been looking for a Road Glide for a rather long time. THREE we have a second/new house my father gave  to us and we are rather excited about it. We are going to redo the whole house. Put in a new bathroom, redo the Kitchen, and hopefully find hardwood floors under the carpet. And sale Curtis house or rent it out.  So we are rather excited just it be awhile before we get to move in. It is smaller but it be OUR house together that we create together. Don't get me wrong I like the house we are in now but hey it was his and his ex's house 1st and then he had another ex live there too So yea having something that is OURS will be nice :P FOUR there really nothing else..... I am hoping to start taking some pictures again and look for a little part time job. Also I just want to say one thing... PLANNING A WEDDING IS VERY HARD!
 I hope everyone is having a great week. The weekend is almost here and I am rather excited and I am rather excited about getting my iphone tomorrow. Should be in then :)
Till next time. -Court. <3

I thought to post some pictures today, I haven't in awhile. So how is everyone doing? I am good, I have been super busy. Saturday I worked all day had 3 photoshoots that I did. Worked on photos, prints and order my prints for the ArtWalk (oct. 5) I am very excited about to get the prints! No one has seen the ones I have picked nor have anyone see the photos other than Curtis and the Print guy. They are so cool and I can't wait to share them and maybe sell one or two. 

Also bought my plane ticket for my Maine flight for the 25. We also think we have found the perfect building for the studio! Its everything we are looking for and more. Post pictures of it soon! I am going to go look at it when I get into Maine so I will get a few shots to show yall. 

The only thing is that I am going to miss Curtis like crazy, and little Wookie. Yes, Curtis is not coming up yet not in till everything is going to work out and all. Which I hope it does. But he is planning to come up during Christmas and hopes to bring little Wookie. Just so much is going on and its all exciting and a little sad but I hoping for the best and I do believe everything happens for a reason. And with something like is possible you just don't want to pass it up. You know? 

Well I better go.. I just notice that is is 5mins till 3AM!!!!! Crazy.. I just love to read others blogs :) 

Good night, well I mean good morning and hope everyone has a Happy Monday! 

My Happy Jar

Hey!
I thought to add a wonderful little thing I thought that would be nice to add to The Happiness Project. like yesterday I said for week 2 I wanted to be crafty. So far it's going good.. I have crafted a little today too. I created a cute little pink flower. Which your will see in at the end of this post. I am hoping to add something everyday this week to my Happy Jar.. I added a few things to it to day.

• A picture of Curtis and I
• A picture of my Family
• My favorite earrings
• My mini ipod for music because it has all happy music for when I use it to go jog. 
• And my favorite Finger nail Polish 

There are lots more that makes me happy but that is just a few I added today (: Do this I believe will help me to remember what all makes me happy and that I am very thankful for what I have in my life today.. Even if it's just small things. 

Family is one big thing that makes me happy and this Saturday I am doing family pictures of my family and of me. I am the one that came up with the idea.. It's a great thing we are all getting together and spending some time together, even though not all like their picture taken.. That we should remember the reason why we doing them. 

Sorry if I am just rambling.  Anywho here is the pictures! (: 

Carter didn't like when I let the camera take a picture of us on auto..
"Mama, Why is the camera making a strange, scary sound?"

What are some things that make you happy, or what are you thankful for in your life? 

I am one year older

Hey yall! 

I have been such a slacker when it comes to blogging.. Well this past Saturday was my Birthday, I Turned 23. I don't feel much difference, but there are some things I want change and do. I want to be a more creative, better, and loving person. And still be the artist I am today. Sometimes I don't think I am an artist, but an artist can be many things. Right? I also want to become a better writer and write meaningful things.

Just Busy

Hey yall
I am still here and alive. I just have been pretty busy with life I suppose. This past week I haven't been feeling well. I don't know what wrong, I have the pain in my lower rib area and it is very painful. I have been off my diet so I have had crappy energy so I have been sleeping all day and getting zero done :\ I think it because of all these dang carbs I am in taking. Tuesday I felt awful with pains and a massive head ache! But I got out of bed at 5!!!!! PM and met Curtis for dinner, we went to Outback. Which I had a glass of cold sweet tea.. Which I think my last glass was back in the 1st of April. I gotta get back on track. I am going insane and I think I have gain some weight back :( Which makes me upset! If we are going to go to FL in July I gotta get back on this diet.
I feel better when I limit my Carb intake. I just got to get back in the groove of things.
Well tomorrow we are hoping of picking up my new camera which happens to be a DSLR. yes, my VERY own!! No more borrowing.. Anywho I am going to, I just feel awful and I think i am going to try and get some rest.

I hope not all of my followers have forgotten about me!!

Friday Night!

Hey y'all,

It has been an ok Friday, I haven't done anything wonderful today  but I did go for a jog with Miss Chelsea, my Aussie Shep. Which she loves to run and a great partner that will never say, "I don't feel like it today"... hahaha anyways. I made yummy egg-less cupcakes, I had a box of devils food cake mix but no eggs.... So I decided who needs eggs lets try without them. Which they turned out to be very moist and yummy, they just didn't rise as much as they would have if I added the eggs.  Today was the 1st day in month since I have baked anything and I was kinda guity because Curtis and I haven't had any bakes goods in a long time since we have been on a low-carb diet. Which I have lost a good bit of weight my clothes are much looser! (: I say at least 10 lbs. Which Curtis has lost over 20 lbs. Yay!

Well Tomorrow I am doing a Lady Gaga/80's theme photo shoot. Which I have 3 models and a make-up artist. We are all very excited and as soon as I can I will post a sneak peek. So I have on Weheartit.com looking for inspiration and trying to get a look together... I have a vision all up in my head just trying to get it together. here are some lovelies (:
