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... ;)

Happy Wednesday sweet friends!

Mallory's Prom

As I mentioned in yesterday's post, my little sister had her first PROM this past weekend.

yes, EASTER weekend... terrible planning. 

So I have to share with you some of the pictures. She looked so beautiful, and grown up. 

 

and her date was SO sweet. When he got there he said, "Mallory, you look beautiful!" So sincere... melt. my. heart.

They had a blast at Prom, but on their way home their limo broke down and the boys had to push it into a parking lot. Apparently it ran out of gas? Ill prepared. They better get some money back if you ask me ;)

Happy Tuesday!

Easter Sunday

We had a lovely Easter this year, with all of the family gathering at our house for our annual Easter lunch together.

My sweet little sister Mallory had her prom the night before, so she was absolutely exhausted. We are STILL trying to figure out which genius decided to schedule the high school's prom on Easter weekend... SMH.

We had such a delicious lunch, those ladies in my family know how to COOK. I ate waaaaay too much.

our Easter outfits for church!

all of the girls

Mal, mama, and me

  and we had a blast hiding eggs for the kids. I miss the days of running around searching for the "money egg" ;)

We heard there's a Scavenger Hunt app on the iphone that you can set up a scavenger hunt with... and some people used that for an "Adult Easter Egg Hunt." How fun is that?! I think my family needs to look into that for next year... 

:)

Hope you had a wonderful Easter with your family!

Top 5 Tuesday

I'm linking up with Rachel today for her Top 5 Tuesday!

Today's Topic: 5 Beauty Products I Can't Live without!

[one.]
Lancome Definicils Mascara
there's just no going back after you try this stuff ladies.
It's a little pricy, but it lasts.
I've tried a lot of different mascaras, and after using this one there is just no comparison. Get you some ;)

Urban Decay Naked Palette

Thank you Santa for bringing me this baby at Christmas ;) 

I am so obsessed. 

This eyeshadow set is so versatile.. it's easy to use, and I find myself experimenting with eyeshadow more now that I have it!

Lip Color.
Last year I blogged about "To Lipstick or Not To Lipstick" and a few weeks after the post, I took the plunge. I have become such a lipstick person. My make-up just doesn't feel complete until I have some color on my lips.

I'm still nervous about trying new colors though.. I don't like to be too risky. AND lipstick is HARD to pick out... it never looks the same once you get it on your lips. I always get a make-up lady to help me out! ;)

The Ulta lady helped me pick out this Urban Decay shade, it's a little dark.. but with a light gloss over it you're golden. (It's the color I'm usually wearing in my pictures on here!)

Bare Minerals
Best. Foundation. Ever.

[five.]
Julep Nail Polish
I won a giveaway of this nail polish a while back, and ever since my life has been changed. I was always a total essie girl... but Julep is more natural. It's glossier, and doesn't ruin your nails. PLUS, they have a neat birchbox-esque program! Click here if you're interested! (Who doesn't like a package in the mail?)

The Color Run

Friday night we headed up to Atlanta to spend the evening dining with friends at the Cheesecake Factory, and prepping for the Color Run the next morning!

It was my first time actually spending the night in Atlanta, and we had the prettiest view from our hotel window. Naturally, I took zero pictures of that. (Or of dinner) SMH.

We started off SUPER clean in our White Tee's.

and ended all colorfully. 

It was so much fun.

Basically, a giant party.

They don't call it "The Happiest 5K on the Planet" for nothing! :)

I really hope the Color Run comes back to Atlanta next year!! If it comes to your city, I highly recommend running in it. It's not timed, but it's more of an experience than anything else. 

Such a great weekend!
