Thirstday: In honor of Kathy Lee & Hoda

Thursday again and almost to the weekend!! In honor of this day I'd like to start a weekly Thirsty Thursday blog post. Every Thursday I will provide a new drink recipe from my "Cocktails and Such" Pinterest board. This way we can all start off our weekend in the right direction and can share our new recipe with friends before a night out on the town, or even a movie night in.

Today's drink is Pink Grapefuit Margaritas (serves 4).

Things you will need include:

• 1 Cup Ruby Red Grapefuit Juice
• 1/2 Cup Fresh Squeezed Lime Juice
• 1 Cup Triple Sec Orange Liqueur
• 3 Cups Ice
• 1 Cup Silver Tequila
• 1 Lime Cut in Wedges
• Salt to rim the glass

Combine the Ruby Red Grapefuit Juice, Lime Juice, Triple Sec and ice in a blender. 

Pour the contents in to a pitcher and add the tequila. 

Then rim your glasses with salt and a lime wedge and pour your drink!

Hope y'all enjoy! Let me know what you think!

Time to Face Reality Tuesday

While on my Pinterest grind this morning I came across this Graduation Pin and I thought "Wow this couldn't fit my life any more perfectly right now"...

With the school year winding down and the weather warming up (well it has been up until the past couple of days) the ability to focus has become extremely hard. With graduation in less than a month my emotions are out of control, going from extremely happy to nostalgic in .2 seconds. This past weekend I had my sorority senior formal, and needless to say I was an emotional train wreck. But one thing I have learned is I am beyond blessed with the people who have come in to my life these past four years. 

Right before formal!

I have truly met my best friends who have not only seen me grow, but have also played a part in making me the person I am today. 

So where do we go from here? Luckily, that path is up to us. Follow your dreams and never give up. 

Maybe reality really won't be so bad.

What are some of your biggest dreams?

Happily Ever After

I'm spending this beautiful Tuesday morning at one of my favorite places in this world... Panera. There is absolutely nothing like starting your day off with a Panera breakfast!

I hope that y'all have found yourselves enjoying a beautiful morning too, wherever you may be! Today I want to challenge you to do something just for you. Do something that you enjoy, something that will make you happy. We all need to treat ourselves from time to time and sometimes we forget that.

DAY 13: GOALS

My goals may not be like the usual person's goals. Yes, I do want an affluent career. Yes, I want my career to be something I really enjoy. But most importantly my goal is to live my life. I want to be spontaneous, do things that I want to do. You only live once and I refuse to have a single regret. I want to travel, I want to fall madly in love, I want to start my own family, I want to make a difference (even if it's small). 

Biggest goal ever... Make it big on a talk show... Kelly Rippa's job would be ideal. 

Most of all, I want to live happily ever after. Cliche? Maybe. But honestly, who would turn this dream down?

What are some of your goals?

Must Haves

Monday, Monday, Monday.

The lucky thing about this Monday is that there is only ONE MORE Monday until Spring Break!!! I hope y'all will be able to survive the next couple of weeks before your Spring Break too, we can do this!

DAY 12: Something you don't leave your house without.

These are probably the items that I try to make sure to constantly have on me (and my cell phone, of course!).

1) Japanese Cherry Blossom lotion.... Bath & Body Works.
2) Mascara.... Maybelline.
3) My debit card.
4) My school id.
5) My passport. I lost my driver's license one night so I am using my passport for the time being. People really love when you whip that thing out to show you are 21.
6) My sunglasses... never know when the sun is going to come shining through!
7) Car Keys & Coach ID holder w/ my Panera Card inside.
8) Burt's Bees Lip Balm.
9) A pen.

What are some things y'all don't leave home without?

Quotes

Can't believe we've somehow made it back to Monday again! I've tried to have the outlook that Mondays are a fresh start and maybe not so terrible... the keyword there being "tried". I hope everyone had a great weekend & got to enjoy some snow! 

Our Norts and Sports quad was quite the dance party and filled with neons. 

My absolute favorite picture from the night.

On to the daily blog challenge. DAY 11: A quote you love

I am HUGE in to quotes, so just narrowing it down to one is absolutely impossible.I like to paint canvases with different quotes on them to decorate my room (this is also a great gift for friends and family). 

 

"Maybe our mistakes are what make our fate. Without them, what would shape our lives? Perhaps if we never veered off course, we wouldn't fall in love, or be who we are."

 -Sex & the City
