Hey guys!

Today’s blog post is going to be totally different from my others. This blog post is just to check-in with my life so far and update you all. In my high school drama class, we played this “game” called Check-In.  Basically we passed a rose around the circle and whoever had the rose was the person who was speaking. You could talk about what’s been on your mind, how you’ve been lately, any life updates, or whatever you wanted to say. So today I’m checking in.

So this summer I have been home in lovely (haha) Augusta. I’ve been working at Forever21 which I absolutely LOVE. I love helping people pick out outfits, it’s so rewarding honestly. The other day this girl came in and needed help with finding outfits for her senior pictures. She had no idea of what she was looking for and when I asked her what kind of stuff she liked, she just shrugged her shoulders. So I came up with 3 different looks and she loved them all. Then her entire family came in the store and praised me for helping her and bragged about me to my manager. That made me so happy, because you never know if what you think is cute or looks good will look good to someone else. And I’m glad I picked out cute, appropriate things because I had no idea her mom was coming in to approve it all. I wished I asked her for her name so I could see how her pictures turn out.

Last week I was asked to attend this self-esteem workshop with one of my favorite organization leaders in Augusta. She has such a positive and uplifting vibe and I love her spirit.  I was beyond honored and ecstatic to assist her. We talked to 6-8 year olds about self-esteem, but the discussion was very age appropriate and fun. We will be meeting with them every week in the month of July. And this upcoming Tuesday I have the great honor and pleasure of leading the activities and discussion about inner self-esteem (I will make sure to make a separate blog about this experience).

I cut my hair in April and it has been growing. My blonde highlights have basically grown out of my hair (insert sad face), but it’s time to go back to my natural color. I haven’t been wearing foundation and my skin has improved greatly. I finally bought some Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow and OMG it is so amazing. It has my brows looking phenomenal and now I see why everyone loves it.

I saved my favorite update for last. On July 26 I will be going to Disney World (inserts fifty million emojis) !!!!!!!! Y’all I am SO excited, my level of excitement is ridiculous. I’m planning and looking up stuff that I want to do while I am there, not just at Disney but in the surrounding area. So if anyone has any suggestions on places they would recommend traveling to or things to do, I would love to hear from you all. I can not wait to take a billion pictures, especially the famous photo in front of the castle. I’m excited like I’m a little kid lol.

I’m also very ready to be back in Kennesaw with all of my friends. I thought this summer was going to be super long and boring, but it has definitely went by so fast.

Just thought I’d switch things up this week and write a little update on my life. Thanks for reading you guys.

Love,
