Bride hijacking & Penis Cookies.

Interesting title, eh?

I warn you now: if you follow me on instagram or twitter, you will be bored with this post.

There might be a thing or two some of you don't know about me and that is this: i'm hardly ever serious & like to have a good time.

My dear, sweet, loving friend Natasha is getting married in roughly 9 days and she one day decided to get extremely wasted and ask me to be one of her bridesmaids.

Ok, well she wasn't actually drunk. But, homegirl over here can not keep a straight face for longer than 2 minutes so why she thinks I will be able to walk down that aisle and not laugh or be able to look straight ahead is beyond me. 

Anyway, neither here nor there.

The wedding was rapidly approaching and I had realized one small minor detail. No one had contacted me about a batchelorette party!!

The hardly ever being serious trait kicks in and I thought to myself: "Well this is bullshit, I won't get to parade around drinking out of a penis straw and yell inapproriate things at hot men!"

So, I did what you would do.

Took matters into my own hands.

A couple of girls Natasha & I work with decided we should throw her a surprise dinner.

I mean it is perfect! Not only would there be penis straws, penis confetti, streamers, balloons, and any other inapproriate item you could think of..it would all be a surprise. 

So, I made up a bullet proof lie and convinced Natasha it was just her and I having a lovely dinner talking flowers, cake, and blah blah blah..

Then, this happened.

i made her wear a blindfold.

then, made her wear this ridic gear and drink out of a penis straw.

so prec.

Me & the bride to be!

mmm..margs!

..and i of course took a picture with the penis cookie.

But, seriously. It was so much fun! Natasha had no idea which made it much more special and rewarding to see the look on her face when I took the scarf off and she saw all the girls from work sitting at the table.

Needles to say, I can not wait for her wedding.

To my dear sweet Natasha- I love you beyond words. I'm glad work brought us together and THANK YOU for everything you have done for me these past few weeks. Between planning a wedding, moving, and listening to my bitch ass I'm not really sure how you did it :)

You will be a beautiful bride, and I wish you and Jordan a lifetime of love and happiness.

back to the basics.

wowzas.

It has been a hot second since this girl has stepped foot in the blogging world, and I would be lying if I said I didn't enjoy the break.

However, I missed those few connections/relationships I have made through blogging and missed seeing what was going on in their lives!

But...

I'm back, for good. 

By that I mean to my usual 3 {if you are lucky} 4 posts a week.

I know I got all sad, dark, and sappy for a second and complained about how terrible my life and how I hated boys and blah...blah..blah..

But, I got a friendly reminder from my father:

that is life & shit happens.

My dad and I are the exact same person almost, it is actually kind of scary. I look like him, I can drink like him, I cuss like a sailor like him, my sense of humor is the same as his, my independence is the same as him. So, to say we have "life chats" is a stretch because we tend to disagree a lot because we are the same person. 

However, those rare {and i mean rare} moments when I let my guard down we do have them and when I was whining on about a pathetic boy who broke my heart, how I didn't have a full time job, and how I felt very confused about some family issues, he simply said it best.

"Kels, get back to the basics and fix what you dont like."

At first when I heard "back to the basics" I instantly thought of hits off of Christina Aguilera's album and quickly realized that is not what he was referring too.

It all made sense.

Go back to the things that made me feel free, the things that made me, me.

He said, "I haven't heard the last time you mentioned your blog, or the last time I saw you go for a long run, or hell, the last time you went to the mall {Told ya, I had issues.}

I have a great life. I'm healthy, I have a family who loves and supports me, wonderful friends who keep my heart happy, and a job that I adore. 

Fixing me and doing what I know to make me happy is the only thing I can control in life, it's the only thing all of us can control.

So, this is me getting back to the basics and doing what I love because I love it. 

Not doing something because it's what he loved, or what they loved, or what anyone loves.

I've missed blogging 3-4 times a week, even though I usually blog about nothing, I've missed going on those runs and crankin' up the tunes and clearing my mind, and trust me I've missed the mall.

Now is the fun part in figuring out what I want in this next "step" of life, who I am as an independent person, and what I want to fix about me. 

You know, back to the basics.

There are a lot of things I can't control in life right now that I pray to God that I could, but this is one thing I can, so I'm runnin' full speed with it.

I encourage all of you to step back and think about the same thing.

Do you need to get back to the basics?

I've missed you all.

Some things I love.

Happy Thursday!

I am currently sitting on my porch and my weather app is telling me it is 88 degrees in Columbus.

Not too shabby.

I have not done a post about the things I love lately, so here I go.

sitting out on the porch & blogging.

I'm sorry but it doesn't get any better.

drinking one large iced tea out of my new tervis tumbler that has a nice bright pink "K."

my new iphone case. 

two words: bad ass.

Yes, I know those are only three things and I'm in all of the pictures.

Don't care :)

Enjoy this day.

{If I could}: I would.

I feel like I start every post lately with the following:

"I'm baaaaaaaacccckkkk."

I know the last time I wrote all of you I told you I was taking a break from blogging and I still am but however I felt like I needed to maybe dip my toes back in the water. Life over here at crazy town has been just that, 100% crazy.

I tend not to get very personal on my blog just because I'm not sure how I would handle the reaction I would get from everyone but I signed up to blog about me and I can't stop blogging just because I'm not sharing everything. 

So, here it goes. 

If I could I would..

find a cure for alzheimers so my grandma wouldn't have to go through what she is going through.

If I could I would..

be stronger through this transition with my grandma.

If I could I would..

find a cure for cancer so everyone I know right now that has it didn't have to suffer and no one else would have to suffer.

If I could I would..

have never stayed in a toxic relationship for four years.

If I could I would..

never have taken him back the first time he cheated so I didn't have to deal with this pain I feel now.

{surprise: never shared all of this!}

If I could I would..

find my dream job, and stat. 

If I could I would..

talk all day only using emojicons. 

If I could I would..

run six miles everyday. 

{Ok, lets be real I wouldn't do that.}

If I could I would..

go back and never transferred home from OU.

If I could I would..

go to the airport, look at the departure board, pick a place and just go.

If I could I would..

find a teaching job for my brother at a school that he truly loves.

If I could I would..

pay my parents back every cent they have ever spent on me to give me this wonderful life I have.

If I could I would..

make my little cousins stay this age forever so they don't get any bigger.

If I could I would..

allow Ohio State to win every national championship and Big 10 championship every year.

If I could I would..

be able to teleport to Texas anytime that I wanted.

If I could I would..

go around and rap to rap songs all day, errrr day.

Phew! That felt all nice to get off of my chest! 

I'm sure you all will enjoy that suzy sunshine attitude!

Hopefully, I'll be back in action soon!

I'm leavin' on a jet plane.

Happy Thursday!

It's been a hot second {again.} I'm going to take a little break from the blogging world while some personal issues in the wold of mine sort them self out!

Don't worry I'll be back in a jiffy..

But, for now..

I'm leaving on a jet plane and never coming back.

ok I kid I'll be back Monday.

My happy little butt is typing this at the airport as I anxiously await to board my plane to see my best friend in TEXAS! 

This trip could not have come at a better time! 

Here is to hoping I survive the next five days of : sun, tequilla, bestie time, vodka, dancing, and whatever adventures we find ourselves getting into. 

I can't wait {and I'm sure you will be on the edges of your seats} to hear about my trip when I return. 

Have a fantastic rest of the week & weekend.

Top 5 Tuesday!

Happy Tuesday!!

I just would like to start off by saying if I see one more post about Kentucky winning the National Championship I will in fact throw up, and I'm not saying that because my beloved Buckeyes lost.

I mean I feel like everyone is all the sudden a Kentucky fan. Yes, I know there are the select {true} wildcat fans but good lord all mighty they have come out of the woodwork in the past 24 hours. I mean it may in fact be worse then the Steeler bandwagon fans.

sidenote: i hate the pittsburgh steelers.

Anywho..moving onto more important things! Today is Top 5 Tuesday with the lovely Rachel and today's topic is 5 make up products you can't live without! Go on over to her page and link up on the fun! 

Go on..NOW.

1. Concealer

I was blessed the dark circle gene from my mother {thanks, ma!} and have tried every concealer under the sun, literally. I have paid anywhere from $15-$45 for concealer and well, this one just takes the cake.

Total cost: $1.00

It is a tone correcting concealer so it helps cut out the deep purple underneath my eye and a little bit really does cover nicely. I mean, seriously people, ONE DOLLER.

2. Mascara

I probably have six different tubes of mascara sitting in my make up bag and this is the only one I use. I really like this one because it gives good volume but doesn't clump, and lasts all day without flaking off. I call that a win, win.

3. Matte Bare Minerals Foundation

I use to wear bare minerals for years and years and then one day I just decided I was over it and wanted to try foundation. However, a few weeks ago I ran out of foundation and all my mom had was her bare minerals and I fell in love with all over again and started using it again. I love the matte version because I have an oily skin type and this doesn't get shiny throughout the day and the coverage is fabulous.

4. Nars Orgasm Blush

Oh shocking, a 20 something girl blogging about the blush color she uses and it's Nars Orgasm. I feel like everyone and their brother and sister use this color and I'm ok with that. I love it because it has a perfect amount of color and shimmer. 

5. Bronzer/Mineral Veil

I just bought this about a week ago and it is a god send. It is bare minerals mineral veil but in a pressed powder form and it is a tinted color/bronzer in one. It gives the perfect amount of bronze but also helps give that flawless finish with bare minerals. Obsessed people, obsessed. 

Once I get a tan I guarantee that I will only be wearing this in the summer!

I wear different eye shadows and mix up my blushes here and there depending on my mood but these are the five things that I can not live without. Somedays I wear eyeliner and somedays I don't. 

But, you will never find me leaving the house without a little bit of foundation and mascara because without those two things homegirl looks a tad frightning!

What are your make up must haves?

Now, go on..link up!

Weekend Recap {Heartbreak} Version.

Happy Monday, ladies.

How was your weekend? What did you do? 

Did you shout, cry, and curl up in the fetal position as you watch your beloved Buckeyes piss away a 13 point lead to the Kansas Jayhawks and not make it to the National Championship? 

Oh no? You didn't? Guess that was just me..

{I promise I was super excited for the game at one point.}

I know I'm a sore loser but they had it, oh so close. They made it so much farther than anyone thought they were going to make it and it was just heartbreaking to watch them lose, heartbreaking.

However, Aaron Craft said he is coming back next year so that instantly made me feel better.

moving on.

Luckily one of the best cover bands eva was playing at a local bar was playing that allowed me to take my mind off the game for a few hours.

I'm not sure if it was the band or the vodka and soda's I was drinking that did but we will go with the band.

{The Personnel}

By the time Sunday my hangover rolled around I was just plain exhausted. I thought it would be best to cure the hangover with a little shopping and running errands.

Bad idea. I repeat bad idea.

About an hour into the shopping trip I realized I may either pass out or throw up and lets be serious I didn't want to be that girl. 

I packed up my belongings and came home to soak up some sun on the back patio and enjoy the sunshine and scene in my parents backyard.

Took this picture using the Hipstamic app {obsessed with} and spent a majority of the day playing with the settings.

There you have my very random weekend recap!
