Friday we went to the basketball game... Go Cougs! It was pretty fun! We left at half time to go hang out with some friends. Chill Friday night, but definitely a good time.

Saturday we got a FREAKING blizzard in Utah... Maybe not a blizzard, but it sure felt like it for someone who isn't used to a lot of snow. To avoid the cold, my friends and I decided to go see The Greatest Showman... IT WAS AMAZING. The music is incredible. If you haven't seen it yet, you totally should.

The best Sunday night activity... IN N' OUT!!!!

Utah FINALLY got snow this winter, so we were trapped inside last night. It's hard to complain about being stuck inside when you're with some of your favortie people though. Lots of fur and lots of fun... But seriously, who doesn't love a good faux fur coat? Shop a few of the best below!!! 

IT'S A CHRISTMAS MIRACLE that I'm finally posting on my blog again! Wow, it's been ages. School has been kicking my booty, seriously-- tests then papers then tests then tests. SO MANY TESTS! Moral of the story: my Apple Maps thinks the library is my 'home' and my apartment is my 'work.' The struggle is real, and with that being said, I'm sure you can understand why I haven't been posting as much as I used to! 

For this long awaited post, I thought I'd show y'all how I decorated my dorm room for Christmas! I found the best places to buy decorations for anyone on a budget, especially a college student. Hobby Lobby is notorious for having crazy sales (like 40% off), so I picked up this cute frosted tree. For real, it was such a steal. To fill the empty spaces in my tree I got inexpensive ornaments from Target. I love Target because they have trendy things that are so affordable! 

Hello!!! If you've been following my Instagram you know that I went to London August! It feels like I was just there yesterday... But holy cow! It's been two months! I've been so busy here at BYU that I haven't gotten around to posting my photos from England, and oh my goodness they are some of my favorite pictures! Over the next few weeks I'll be posting my pics from my trip-- don't worry I'll throw in some updates of me and my friends college life. ;)

The BEST place for pictures of Big Ben- across the street in the phone booth! There is also a wall that my sister and I sat on and got incredible pictures!! It's a must if you're going to be in London! Plus, it's not too crowded, and you get such a pretty view in your photo. 

XO,

Call me Paris Hilton because I am CHOOSING JUICY!! I truly believe I found my new go-to outfit for the rest of my life. Juicy track suits are EVERYTHING. I mean, COME ON, who wouldn't want to strut their stuff in head to toe velour?? I can't decide which I like better- my pink on pink suit, or my friend's pants that say "juicy" on the butt. Both are equally as stylish, obviously, but the sass that comes along with having the word "JUICY" in big sequined letters spread across your cheeks is unbeatable. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I am a firm believer that this outfit was the perfect thing to wear to roller skating night. STAY TUNED FOR AN ENTIRE POST DEDICATED PURELY TO JUICY COUTURE!!!

What a great day! I got to do two of my favorite things: hang out with my girls and pet puppies... Can it get any better? Here in Utah, there is a place called The Puppy Barn, and it's all the rage. For hours you can pet, hold, and snuggle with the most adorable dogs. Wanna know what makes it even better? It's only $1!! Talk about the best. purchase. ever. 

Okay. Tell me it isn't fair how STUNNING my friend, Emily, is. Seriously, it looks like she is a freaking model. Plus her makeup and outfits are ALWAYS on point. Not even kidding, I thought I dressed nice.... Until I met her. Haha! She is the sweetest person I've ever met, and wanna know what makes her even better? She is crazy talented! Her photography skills are unreal. Go check out her photography blog!!! 

We had such a great time at the movie night in the stadium. Hundreds of people brought blankets and camped out on the football field to watch Moana. It was so cute, little kids were running around everywhere and they had snack stands on every corner. Naturally, my friends and I brought our own popcorn because #BROKECOLLEGESTUDENTS.... Talk about a poppin' time!!!!

   What's my favorite thing about BYU? The good, clean, fun that happens every day. I love being able to go to a party and not have to worry about my friends being under the influence. Every night my friends and I can go to parties and be our goofy selfs without having the added pressure of being around things that we don't feel comfortable with. Now I'm not saying other colleges are bad because their parties are #turnt, and I'm not judging people for doing that; however, the pureness of BYU is my favorite aspect of the university. Seriously, who else can 'pregame' on Red Bull??? Ya, Red Bull might cause heart attacks and be absolutely terrible for you-- but hey, it could be worse!!! 
        Sodalicious, a drink shop that sells the BEST SODAS (sorry, Swig fans), gave everyone free drinks at this "bubbly" party. My friends and I had a blast hanging out and taking pictures. Each night is a new adventure and I'm so happy that we can be #LIT but not #TURNT ;)

        You know what's better than stuffing your face with yummy food? Stuffing your face with yummy food that is HEALTHY! Yep, you heard me right. Aubergine and Company offers a diverse menu filled with the most delicious food that leaves you wanting more. After leaving Aubergine you don't feel like a beached whale (even though, if you're anything like me, you probably devoured what was in front of you), because you are fueling your body with natural foods. Their 'Nice Cream' is perfect for when you're having those I-need-ice-cream-right-now-or-I-will-die cravings, because you'll get the satisfaction of ice cream, without the high calorie price tag. Nice Cream is a cashew blend prepared with the yummiest of toppings. During your next visit to Utah, this restaurant is a must! 

        WOW, HELLO! Long time no see. Wondering where I've been? Well, I started college! Yep, college. And holy moly has it been incredible. The memories and friendships I've made over the past few weeks are unlike any other. Each day is filled with unexpected experiences and adventures. From dancing at 80s night to hiking to abandoned mines you never know what to expect. Of course I'm studying and getting a solid education, but no one wants to hear about that. Studious student by day, party planner by night ;) 
​        My friends and I went to the Fiesta Days carnival to celebrate Pioneer Day... I guess thats a big deal here out in Utah?? LOL! It was so much fun! The next day there was a huge firework show with food trucks galore.... Seriously, who doesn't love a good food truck. 

That's all for now! See ya after my next adventure ;)
