Playing Tennis.

I love to play tennis. I have been playing on and off from when I was around 8.

In high school I played on the tennis team for three years and looking back it one of my fondest memories. 

I don't play as much as used to but every time I get back on the court I am reminded of why I love it so much. 

The cute skirts aren't bad either. :)

Here's a throwback from a tennis season during high school.

This was taken at a tournament with my doubles partner and amazing friend Emma.

Painting my Nails!

Painting my nails has become an almost spiritual experience for me. Haha!

I paint them pretty much once a week and let me tell you there is no better feeling then sitting down and making your nails perfect!

I love to file my nails down, and spend time making sure the polish goes on perfectly.

Somehow it always makes me feel 1000 times more put together.

Also who wouldn't be put in a good mood when you look down at your nails and see a hot pink painted on them?

My new goal is to try out some more adventures ideas.

What's your go to nail style? What your favorite brand? Also have you tried out those nails strips?

Happy almost Weekend!

Number one.

My next ten post are going to be about ten things I love. 

I thought this would be a fun way to get to know me a little more.

So with out further a do...

Here's the first one!

Portland, Oregon

With out a doubt my favorite place in the whole wide world.

I was born and raised here. 

I love walking around downtown, trying out a new restaurant, going to one of the many street fairs, watching flicks on the bricks during the summer.

I plan on traveling a lot and living in a lot of different places in my lifetime. 

But when I decide to start a family and have kids this is definitely where I want to raise them.

If any of you are looking for things to do in Portland, activities, restaurants or shopping let me know and I would live to give you some suggestions!

A Very Special Day

Today is a very special day.

Today is Nathan's 20th Birthday! Ahhh!

Happy Birthday to the love of my life!

I love you!!

Wedding Whimsy:

This post is all about the...Honeymoon!

Sometimes the idea of planning a wedding can seem so daunting and stressful that you have to focus on the fun part. 

Going on a dream vacation with the person that you love most in the world.

A Honeymoon is such a special time because you have a feeling of just getting married, a feeling that you will never have again.

I am so looking forward to spending some quality time with Nathan after all of the craziness of the wedding.

But where are we going?

Well I think that we have finally decided on Europe.

However where exactly is still up in the air. 

We know that we want to go to London and Paris for sure but other than that, who knows! 

But that is half the fun of it. Realizing that you can go wherever you want and do whatever you want. 

So for now I will continue to look up amazing and beautiful places and somehow nail some ideas down.

Lucky for me I have just about a year to plan. :)

Favorite Things:

1. Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer:

I love this stuff! It is perfect for summer when you don't want to put on thick foundation but still want the coverage. Best part I have oily skin but this stuff lasts all day. The constancy is great, it really does feel like you are putting on a moisturizer. This has quickly made it into my everyday routine!

2. Urban Decay Naked Palette:

I have had this palette for awhile now and I still don't get bored of the colors. If anything I am loving them even more. During July I have discovered new ways to use the colors too. I have begun using Virgin and Sin as a highlight for my face and using Darkhorse as a liner. This palette is definitely on my top favorite products EVER!

3. Korres Day Cream:

I have oily skin and this stuff works great for it. It doesn't leave an oily feeling on my skin. It leaves my skin feeling soft and moisturized. The only downside of this product is that their is only SPF 4 in it.

4. Mint clothing:

My love for mint is starting to cross over into obsession...seriously.

5. Wedding Planning:

Nothing makes me more excited than discussing wedding ideas and inspiration! Needless to say I have wedding fever. :)
