Hi lovelies :)
I hope your weekend was full of fun & relaxation.
Mine definitely was...and it was homework free...woot!
It's nice to have time to spend on Pinterest without knowing that I'm
putting off writing a paper ;)
If you didn't see my post on Saturday, I announced that I'm only going to
be blogging Monday-Friday from now on! This Saturday will be my last
weekend post for a good little while. But I will be blogging my little heart
out during the week :)
Mondays will still, of course, be Smell the Roses (which you can read all about right here),
and I'm also going to do a weekly photo drop...basically just random pictures from my
week. YAY!
So I'll start with my (last) week in pictures:
one// Driving to my last day of classes...ah!
two// New bracelet that I won from a giveaway last week.
three// Celebratory saki after finishing my last class...not sure why I look orange?!
four// Sitting in my last class...Advertising Creativity.
five// Firehouse Subs with my love. I ask for a smile and this is what I get...
six// My kitten is so lady-like...this is her position of choice.
seven// Beach day with my cousin...perfection! Florida is awesome.
eight// I may or may not have eaten sushi twice this weekend.
nine// I ADORE this! It was a huge piece hanging in the Bare Escentuals store.
ten// Chicken & veggie salad for dinner one night.
eleven// Last night of homework ever!
twelve// New workout gear! Those shorts have a hidden key pocket so I don't have
to hold my apartment key while I run.
.
And now for Smell the Roses :)
Last week's task was to make a mix CD for someone.
I made one for my best friend, Brittany.
Her & I met my junior of high school and clicked right away.
BFF status ever since ;)
I made her a CD of all of the songs that reminded me of our time in high school!
I got a little emotional as I was choosing the songs, because it brought me back
to those times. Isn't it incredible how powerful music is?! It seriously blows my mind
that hearing a song can take you to forgotten places of your past.
I love it!
Some of the artists that I put on the CD were
A Day to Remember, Copeland, Jack's Mannequin, The Fray, Cartel, Mutemath...
and the list goes on. I even put a song or two on there from the band that
Adam used to play in...Britt & I used to rock out to that ;)
Love her so much!
Did you make a mix CD for someone?!
I want to read about it, so grab a button & link up with me :)

This week's task:
Do something that is out of your comfort zone.
Whether it's wearing colored jeans that you've wanted to wear but have been
intimidated by, talking to a stranger that you've wanted to approach for awhile,
or even trying food that you normally wouldn't. It's so easy for us to get caught up
in our day to day lives without venturing out of our comfort zones. Defying our
comfort is what causes us to grow & experience unforgettable things :)
Enjoy your day...I'll be spending my Monday in the office since school is over!
SO happy for you that you are done with classes ! It's an amazing feeling! You go girl !

YAY for no more classes! Although I don't think that I would have chosen to drink saki to celebrate, but that's just me ;) And as for your "lady-like" cat, I love her for her not so lady-like position ;) I have NO clue what to do to put myself out of my comfort zone, but we'll see... Any ideas?

Look at your cute little workout ponytail. Love it! Mixed CDs are the absolute best, but I'm sad to say that I didn't get to participate this week. I'm back on for this week so bring on the uncomfortableness. Is that a word? Haha!
