#ThankfulFor

I've been tagged by Theresa to name 15 things that I'm thankful for!! I'm going to name the things that aren't quite as obvious such as....

1. Freedom: After recently watching The Hunger Games, Catching Fire, and Mockingjay: Part One, I can honestly say that I am beyond grateful to live in a free country.

2. Music: I truly believe that I would go insane if I didn't have music to listen to. It's just beautiful to be able to listen to anything that fits my mood and feel better.

3. My Driver's License: In a word, amazing!!

4. Education: It's a no-brainer, but you can accomplish so much more when you know what you're doing. Duh.

5. Yoga Pants: Please watch this video to understand.

6. Social Media: I know it seems shallow, but I'm able to stay connected with my friends who I don't get to see very often or who live far away.

7. EOS Lip Balm: It's a lifesaver in these cold months!!

8. People Who Believe in Me: It's a great feeling.

9. My Church: We're still fairly new (it's only been a year since we started going), but I know that I've made life-long friends there and I've grown closer to God in the year that we've been there.

10. Bath and Body Works: They have so many amazing scents!! To name a few, Espresso Bar, Paris Amour, and Twilight Woods *swoon*

11. Pinterest: Many things in my life have flourished because of Pinterest. Mostly obsessions, but it's all good, right??

12. Christmas Music: 'Tis officially the season!!

13. The Internet: I think that everyone understands this(:

14. Photography: So I can live vicariously through others.

15. Quadruple Chocolate Cookies: I think I died and went to heaven!!

I hope that this post inspires each of you to reflect on what you're thankful for, because you never know how much it's worth to you until it's gone. So don't take anything for granted, and give back this holiday season!!

Mentally giving all of you quadruple chocolate cookies!!

If you read my previous post you know that I'm having computer issues. Because of these issues I am unable to access my pictures from summer, so the photography challenge and summer bucket list will have to be throwback editions!!

Transitional Fashion || Collaboration

 
Soooooo..... This post was originally supposed to go up a month ago, but I've been having computer problems. As in all of our computers are in various stages of technological decay, to put it simply.
If you follow my beautiful best friend's blog, you will doubtless have seen pictures from our fall photo shoot. If you don't follow her a) you should, and b) here are the pictures from said photo shoot.
 
When we were shooting these, the weather couldn't decide if it was going to be warm or cold so I decided to go with a transitional outfit. 
 
                          The ultimate profile picture

                   Can I just say: these booties are life!
 
 
 
 
                       Cause eyeballs are cool, right?? 
 
                                       Fall Makeup
Eyeshadow Base: Maybelline's Color Tattoo in Bad to the Bronze
 Eyeshadow: Maybelline's Go for the Gold EyeStudio Quad 
 Mascara: Maybelline's Pumped Up! Colossal Volum' Express
 
        So, essentially, everything I own makeup-wise is Maybelline(: 
 
 
                          And here comes the transitional part....
