I'm linking up with Jamie today to share what I'm loving on this beautiful Wednesday!

Today I'm loving....

[one.]- Mine and Jasmine's productivity yesterday with packing. We made some serious progress, then treated ourselves to Margaritas. Naturally.

[two.]- My monogram necklace I ordered FINALLY came. After seeing Emily's on instagram, I finally bit the bullet and got one. SO in love.

I got it from the etsy shop Marinette Jewelry.

[three.]- My biochem test that I totally thought I bombed... I actually got a B on. Holy smokes batman! That's a way to turn my week around!

[four.]- Spotify. I have a serious music obsession, and boy does this make it even more out of control.

[five.]- Sweet friendships. Man, they really make the world go round don't they?

Happy Wednesday!!
Now go link up and share with us what YOU are loving today.

Today I'm loving...

[one.] Denim Cutoffs.
Seriously, I'm in love with this look.. and I'm stalking Goodwill from now on to find me some good Levi's. Yesterday I found some Calvin Klein jeans.. and Jasmine helped me cut them up, so more to come on that later ;)

[two.] I knocked out my first Biochem exam on Monday, so I've had two nice days to just relax and actually do Summery things; like sit by the pool.

[three.]- Ben is coming to Athens this weekend. :) I haven't seen him in 3 weeks, so I'm beyond excited to spend some time with him.

[four.] My new iPhone case I just got. 
Y'all, society6 has a buttload of cute ones.
I'm obsessed.

What I'm Loving!

I'm linking up with sweet Jamie today for What I'm Loving Wednesday!! 

Today I'm loving...

[one.]- That I finally broke down and ordered some Chacos, and they're arriving today. (I may or may not have been stalking the "track my shipment" button...) The zappos app on the iphone is AMAZING. Get it.

[two.]- Friday I'll be heading down to see Sarah!! :) We have our Bridesmaids Dress Fitting Saturday morning and I'm so stinking excited.

us when we were little... just for kicks and giggles.

[three.]- My Twenties Blog is BACK and in full swing, with a fabulous week of giveaways. If you haven't checked it out yet... what are you waiting for?! Get over there and enter.

and now I'm off to digest this news that Miley Cyrus is engaged to Liam Hemsworth. 

This really bothers me for some reason...

share your thoughts.

AND what you're loving of course ;)

Happy Wednesday!

Today I'm linking up with Jamie to share What I'm loving :)

Today I'm loving...

[one]- That last night Jasmine and I went to Fuzzy's tacos downtown for Taco Tuesday. Nothing like an ice cold draft to finish off the day!

[two]- When we were walking downtown we passed Georgia Theatre, and saw some concert posters. This one caught my eye, Perpetual Groove? Definitely sounds like a show I need to see. 

One hour later, we got our tickets. I live for concerts.

[three]- Glee last night.

I loved the Whitney songs!!! 

Definitely one of my favorites this season. 

[four]- My job.

I work in a Pharmacy, for those of you who don't know, and it's a retail space located inside of a hospital. So it provides endless entertainment. Not only are my co-workers amazing, but I love all of our regular patients. Every day is something exciting :) I swear they need to make a TV show like the office, but called "The Pharmacy."

that I am officially the proud new owner of an iphone 4S

I have waited for this day for YEARS!!! 

( so long Samsung Mythic. )

me and Siri are basically going to be BFFs. ;)

p.s. I'm also on instagram now so find me!! (username: lesliebentley)

[two.]

That I registered for classes this morning, got everything I wanted... and I'm taking beginner's golf. Watch out, next year I may just be in the Master's. I'm also thinking, the girl to guy ratio in that class may be in my favor... just a thought. Not a bad way to complete that PE requirement... ;)

[three.]

Jasmine is going to start selling Stella & Dot.

making me reeeeally excited because they have super cute stuff.

and you should t-totally go check out her giveaway she's doing to celebrate!

(because it's awesome, and they're gorgeous earrings)

Today I'm loving...

[one.]

all of you.

I can't even begin to express how much your sweet comments meant to me on my post Monday night. I've had such an emotional week, and the encouragement was very much needed. Blogging is such an incredible thing to be a part of, and I give thanks for being able to know all of you!

[two.]

I'm going to see Sarah this weekend.

I'm so excited to meet her fiance, since I have YET to do so. AND see that pretty ring in person! We're going thrifting... (one of my favorite things ever) and I couldn't be more excited. 

[three.]

My Biochem Exam is over.

holy smokes. 

talk about RELIEF.

but the studying is not over... I still have another test tomorrow AND a paper due. 

does it ever end?! 

;)

this meme I saw on facebook.

Hope y'all are having a wonderful week!

Joining Jamie for What I'm loving Wednesday today!

Today I'm loving...

[one.]

nights out in ATH with the girls!

 last night we went out for FAT TUESDAY.. and barhopped the mess out of Athens. We visited more bars last night than I have all year. Nuts.

 

 

[two.]

that tonight I'm going to dinner with Ally!

We've hardly seen each other this year and it breaks my heart.

 

[three.]

Life.

I am just loving life right now.

Despite the stress of school, and balancing work with everything else..

I'm feeling so blessed with great friendships, and just all of the little things that make me smile on a daily basis. This semester I've tried to be more proactive in recognizing and giving thanks for the simple joys of daily life... and it has made me more positive. Count your blessings girls, we are lucky people! 

 

 

Link up and share what you're loving!

Today I'm linking up with the sweet and beautiful Jamie for What I'm loving Wednesday!

That my bff/roommate Jasmine started a blog.

after much convincing.

go welcome her to the blogging community to show her how amazing it is!!! ;)

  [two.]
my new jam.
this song makes me look forward to the weekends.
loooove it.


[three.]
all of you.
Neely's amazing link-up made my week.
I loved finding new blogging friends!
Makes. My. Life. Complete.
Boom!

[four.]
my Valentine's Date with myself.
snuggled up in PJs, flickering candles, catching up with my DVR, and a fabulous drink.
that's what I'm talkin about.
;)

what are YOU loving today?

I'm linking up today with Jamie for WILW!

 and today I'm loving...

[one.]

my new fur vest I got at Old Navy for 9 bucks.

what a steal!!! 

Only, it was an Extra-Large... so I had it altered to fit me. ;) 

I just can't pass up a deal like that!

and I wish this winter weather would ACT like winter weather for ONE day, that's all ask.. so I can wear it!

 [two.]

candles.

I have a mild candle obsession.

I love the ambiance they give off in a room... so last night while studying I went a little nuts with my candle lighting. ;)

 [three.]
That I'm getting back into blogging again. 
For a while there I hit a big slump.. and just didn't care to do it anymore. It felt like a chore more than a fun hobby. I've noticed a lot of people's "Why I Blog" posts and they're such great reminders of WHY I started blogging. May have to be a future post... we'll see. But I'm glad to be back and enjoying it again!

 [four.]
My family.
I've been feeling a little homesick for the first time this school year. I haven't spent as much time at home as I used to, I usually breeze in and right back out between work and school... so I'm ready to spend some time with them this weekend.

Boot socks.

Considering it went from 60 degrees to 30 overnight this week in Georgia.. I'm in love with these babies. They are so incredibly warm. 

[two.]

My beautiful Frye boots that I gifted myself for Christmas.
[pictured above]

I've coveted these beauts for over a year now.. and I finally bit the bullet. and have seriously worn them every day since they arrived via UPS. ;)

[three.]

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo Series.

Woahhh baby, these books are amazing. 

I can't put them down.. I'm on the third one now and I don't want it to end!

The first one takes a little bit to get into.. but don't get discouraged because they are seriously AMAZING.

and basically, you need to go see the movie so they will make the second.
the end.

I'm linking up with Jamie to share what I'm loving today!

 Today I'm loving...

[one.]

That I actually have a chance to blog. Holy cow.. I have had ZERO free time lately it feels like.. so I'm loving that I won't have another test for a few weeks. 

 

[two.]

I have become obsessed with candles lately.. and I stopped in Bath and Body Works and got the Leaves candle the other day #love. 

 plus, the candle sleeve was 50% off... even better!

[three.]

I've been in a major cooking mood lately. For a while there I only ate sandwiches every day.. and went out to eat TOO much. So this week I stocked up on WAY too many groceries.. and have been cooking every night. :) I LOVE home-cooked meals. Especially since it's been rainy and cold.

 

Sunday night I made Paula Deen's Skillet Spaghetti Squash.. I had never had spaghetti squash before and it was so interesting! I love it! Definitely making it again.

the color on that picture looks terrible.. I promise it looked way tastier in person ;)

[four.]

I'm loving that 2418098 cups of tea and honey later.. my voice is back!!! I woke up Monday morning and literally, my voice went away over night. No sore throat.. no runny nose.. nothing. It was just gone. So weird.. but it's back! 

  So now let's hear what YOU are loving today.. go link up with Jamie and share!

That all of these sweet people helped me celebrate my birthday this past weekend! Tomorrow I'll have a post dedicated to our festivities! We had so much fun :)

  [two.]

Last night I purchased tickets to another Concert next week!!! :) I'm going to see Green River Ordinance, (LOVE their music), and Boyce Avenue. I can't wait! I'm really into concerting lately.. it's my new hobby I believe. All my spare change is going to these concerts.. I may be living off ramen soon.

[three.]

I'm actually doing decent in Calc II. It's a miracle friends. I aced my quiz this week.. and I've been rocking the homework. #holla

[four.]

My new RED cowboy boots that I got for my biiiiirthday. And I'm not lying when I say I'm loving them; I've been wearing them around my apartment with my nike shorts and t-shirts. I can't wait to rock them at a GA game soon!! :)
