Flip Flop Swap & Other Good Stuff.

First things first: If you participated in the flip flop swap link up below so we can all see your goodies! I  can't wait to see all of the packages you ladies put together! :)




Also, have you noticed anything different on here?
I redid my blog yesterday: all by myself.
Not gonna lie, I'm pretty proud of how it turned out.
I just knew it would end up being a disaster, but it came together nicely.
I felt like I just needed a little change, and something crisp and clean for a design was what I went for.

I'm still working on ironing out a few little kinks, and adding some things here and there... but for now I'm loving it.

Happy Thursday loves!

Koozie Swap

Swaps make me happy.
Especially when you get paired with someone who has a knack for putting together a package, and is super sweet.

Sarah hosted the swap, and shopping for koozies was too much fun. I was blessed to be partnered with Jessica at Preppin' Postgrad. (check her blog out if you haven't already)
She has such an awesome blog, and I'm so thankful we were partnered together so we could become friends in the blog world!

So without further adieu, here's my lovely package:

She did such a great job, it's so summery.. is it not?
and she gave me my first lilly koozie :) Which has already been put to good use:

ohhhh yeeeahhh. Now I just need an ocean backdrop for that picture and we'll be SET.

Happy Wednesday friends!!

p.s. If you participated in the Flip Flop Swap I hosted with Liv and Sarah, link up to show off your goodies will be TOMORROW :) So make sure you swing by and link up!

Running Playlist

I've been running pretty regularly here lately, and I'm working on training for a big run. I've never been much of a runner at all... So this is huge for me.

Anyways, I need your help. I need some kick butt running jams for me to get lost in while I truck along!

What songs do you have on your playlists? I need your best ones so I can make me a rockin playlist this afternoon!

Summer School Sucks.. but nights out on the town make up for it!

The title of this post says it all.
I was feeling pretty low Friday night... Summer School seriously got the best of me.
You know when you're studying hard for something, and you feel like you're getting absolutely no where because the material is just SO overwhelming? Well yeah... that sums up the past 2 weeks of my life.

And Friday it really hit me that I'm tired of it.
I know it'll pay off in the end, but when you see all of your friends out having fun on Instagram, and you don't get to be apart of the fun it really bites.

SO I worked my little tail off and went out Saturday night to celebrate one of my friend's from High School's 21st birthday.

me, Candler (the birthday boy), and Elise

 Best part of going downtown? Running into random people you know. I live for it.

Candid pictures make me laugh.

We ran into all of the boys from our hometown, who are always fun to be around.

but mostly me and Elise just had a blast hanging out.
It had been TOO long since I'd gone out with her, or anyone for that matter.

So next Saturday it's happening again when I don't have a test looming over my head.

Did you all have a great weekend?!

Terrapin

Terrapin is a local beer company in Athens, and touring their brewery has been on my bucket list for quite a while now. 

Well it just so happens.. it's been on Ben's bucket list too, so while he was in town over the weekend we made sure we got it crossed off.

Naturally it was 106 degrees when we went on Saturday.
and inside the brewery? 
It was blazing hot.
But well worth it.

Bonus? You get awesome pint glasses.
Boom.
We were happy people.

We both like trying new beer,
so Terrapin was right up our alley.
I'm kind of feeling a brewery tour road trip on my bucket list now...

We shall see. ;)

 Cheers!
Have you been to any breweries? 
 Spill. 

I want to know your favorites, and favorite beers... because I love finding new ones!
