happy lady

Well, I started my internship yesterday and I am loving it!

Today I have been doing a crazy amount of research and sketching for a logo and package design for a local company called Luna Pops. They are popsicles that have crazy flavors similar to Jeni's ice cream (this project is so up my alley, im thrilled).

As I have been searching though the internet today, I found tons of stuff to share with you...

some of my favorites are wise words from formally Happy Lady Eats, now known as OhJoy!

thought they were some wise words!

belated... royal wedding

The Royal Wedding was absolutely amazing to watch and hear about, unfortunately it happened when I was super busy and didn't really get to blog about it. I'm not going to take you all the way back to that big day but I have to share this comparison photograph with y'all.

I think this is too funny, and I wonder if it were planned.

Also because the Death of Bin Laden and the Royal wedding happening with in days of each other I heard a great quote, "the girl married her prince, the bad guy is dead, it's a real Disney weekend here on Earth" I loved this!

sweet summertime

As I bite into my first bright red cherry of the season, and sip my SkinnyGirl Margarita, I now know it is officially summertime. I am back from Mexico and in full swing of summer, work at Deluxe is going well, and today I was lucky enough to get the internship at Morvil Advertising + Design Group. I am thrilled. I have been on top of my game for the past couple of days, completely back to myself and loving life. (thank you to the people who are in my life but do not take it from me).

I am loving my life, and reading "A Place of Yes" everyday is helping me come from a place of yet, and get what I want out of life! Everyone needs to be reading this book!

As for Mexico I told you all I would give you the verdict of cruise vs. all inclusive, that will be another post, but I promise it's coming.

first and foremost check out Design*Sponge, they updated their website and it looks awesome, inspiring me to crack down and get my website up and running.

secondly I keep a folder of beautiful things I want to blog about and I am going to share those things with you...

I of course have to start with some beautiful wedding photos, and you will have to forgive me I pulled these forever ago and I cannot remember where I got them, if you know, fill me in!

This next outfit is how I dream of looking at my big girl job (which is basically starting next week) thank you Apartment #34 for wanting to put all my hard earned money to fun work outfits!

and last but not least, a little soul food. Although it looks like a hot mess up close, from afar, it is gorgeous, and to pretty to eat :) These colorful little pieces of cake would be awesome at a wedding or a Summer cookout! thank you OnceWed and House of Origin!

That is all for now, back to enjoying my margarita and the sweet (but smoldering) sunshine.

May 27th don't mind me

Up early on our last day to catch as many rays of sun as possible. Mom did her spinning class as I laid by the pool of course. A couple of champagne and pineapples later, Eduardo convinced me once again to join them in one last water aerobics at the pool. At 1130 I headed to the main pool to catch up with some of the friends I made and wait for aerobics to start. Had a great work out from 12 to one, then grabbed lunch with mom! After trying some sort of liquid that was NOT chocolate I had to grad another drink and go back to the pool.

I cut up in the pool for a little while longer then headed to the spa for a massage and a manicure that lasted less than 24 hours, but was adorable at the time! At five we headed to the spider monkey tour and saw sow amazing monkeys swinging from the tress. Back to the room to get ready for our last dinner together. As we try to order chardonnay to the room we were informed the resort was currently out of sock… Pretty sure we drank them out of chard. We went back tot he Asian restaurant for one of the funniest dinners yet. The servers carried around huge trays with white linens hanging off of them. Obliviously out server was walking to the table behind us with a try in hand. As he walked by the white linen hanging down swiped over Lisa's head, then Lauren's, at this point we were all giggling because he ad no idea, By the time he got to me the tray just levitated over top my head for about 5 solid minutes with the table cloth in my face. We were CRACKING up to tears. It was just hilarious, don't mind us just sitting here dining. Good thing we had a sense of humor, but once our server realized what was going on, we rarely saw him and he didn't pick up a tray for the rest of the night.

After a couple of mayan coffees we were off to bed. Traveling the entire next day. Getting to the airport to sit in Bubba Gumps and order margaritas and coronas to end the trip just right.

I had such an amazing time and although I was eager to get home, I am ready to go back and miss spending everyday with mom in the sun :(

adios

May 26th Mississippi OR Kentucky/ yellow girl

Woke up and caught the bus to Playacar Resort . We grabbed breakfast in the beautiful white, and beige surroundings with an amazing selection! I had made to order egg white omelet and a croissant with peanut butter, it was to die for as usual. We then headed out into the streets of Mexico, being badgered of course from each vendor, but we quickly learned to ignore the,. The highlight was when some man asked us where we were from and we responded, “United States” and he replied, “Mississippi or Kentucky” I thought that was hilarious, those were our only options.

I found an awesome bracelet for a $1 and a pair of peacock feather earrings I love. We ran into a baby jaguar and Lion that we weren’t aloud to take pictures of but they were absolutely precious, I wanted to take them home. They were so adorable, tripping over their oversized paws, just too cute.

We then went to Senor Frogs, which is always a good time. Got a couple of drinks and free shots. Then headed to the VIP beach at Playacar, ordered drinks and read Bethenny in the sun. We headed in around 3 to make our spa appointments at four,

Today I had a chocolate wrap and I still need my chocolate fix afterwards. I got a scrub, then covered head to toe in pure chocolate, then lotion from head to toe in cocoa butter, it was amazing but left my mouth watering.

Dinner tonight was at the steakhouse at Adventura Cove. It was really good, although they forgot out appetizer, my Filet was awesome and the carrot cake was worth the wait. At the end he made us Mayan Coffee, which is coffee made with Kailua and Sambuca and set on fire so it is quite a show, they add ice cream and it is amazing!.

We came home after much girl talk and ordered off the ‘pillow menu’ chamomile, goose feather and orthopedic pillows arrived at out room within minutes along with a relaxing aromatherapy.

Great service! I cannot believe this amazing trip is almost over

May 25th VIP

Typical day here in Mexico! Breakfast then to the pool. Through the anxiety I swam with the fish in the ocean! I did some water aerobics with Lisa and studied for work. Went in at around 4 for my spa treatment. Today I had a wrap that helped with sunburns. It was some kind of crazy. I was covered head to toe in some Aloe Vera/ Bio freeze mixture, it went from cold to FREEZING and I was counting the minutes till I could was it off. But in the end it felt really good on my skin and the massage at the end is always nice,

After that we went to a VIP members cocktail party with champagne and amazing appetizers, including this bread filled with cream cheese; which I am addicted to. We hung out there for about an our and made our way back to the Mexican restaurant for the second time, and I made my own quesadilla again, this time with goat cheese and it was amazing!

The show tonight was the fire show and it was amazing. Just a bunch of sexy men throwing fire around! Made for great entertainment. But the amazement went to the stars tonight. They were not only huge, they went all the way to the horizon line and there we millions of them, I could see every constellation I know!

Back to the room, reading all my old messages on FB because they exist now, so I need to get off the computer and into bed, early day tomorrow. Off to Punta Cana to shop~!!

Hasta Luego!

May 24th sharing lip gloss with dolphins

Woke up this morning for another amazing breakfast, but all that was on my mind was our excursion for the day. At 10:30 we arrived to swim with the dolphins. It was absolutely amazing. Although my anxiety took over my boy for a short period of time, it was relieved from the first stroke of the dolphin. They were so sweet, reminded me of my golden puppy, Cody. Everyone got a kiss on the cheek, on the lips, a handshake and a ride on his belly.

Zeus was the Dolphin who I rode and he was a sweet as can be so gentle and treated me like a lady. But the best part was when we were petting him, he was so relaxed he pooped on the girl in front of me. We all backed up freaking out and she had no idea what was going on, it was a riot.

We of course got many photographs and went back to the resort and lay out in the VIP area of the pool. My skin is hating me more and more each day we are here, but I will get tan I am determined.

Got a little more dressed up for dinner tonight to head to Adventure Cove the resort right next door and have classic Mexican food. Oh My Gosh, best food and service yet. We had Guacamole made it front of us with tequila and fire involved. Amazing apps and dinner, along with an adorable server and service that was on point. After dinner we went to the magic show. Although I wasn’t aloud in the little kid chair that matched my dress I watched just as Intensely and obsessed over the fact I did not get to hold the bunny that came out of the hat. Lauren got to get on stage though, posing for every shot, she did great and made something happen with a duck, I don’t know I was busy taking pictures.

Great day all in all, amazing talk back home I cant wait till this weekend.

Adios
