Take Me To Sea Isle City

Hello all!

I’m still working on this whole routine business, but with starting a new job, summer classes, packing my house, and finding somewhere to move, things have been pretty hectic!

Plus the check engine light came on in my car today… If I don’t look at it, it’s like it’s not there.

I am hoping to actually get into the ceramics studio next week! I’m a month into my summer and I have so many ideas! Can’t wait to post about them later!

As for the here and now, I can’t seem to find a minute to catch my breath. I have been working my new job every day as well as four consecutive hours of the most worthless classes I possibly could have taken this summer.

Thankfully, I took a second to get away to Sea Isle City, NJ with my family for Memorial Day Weekend! We took 2 cars, so it was just me and my 2 sisters in my little red Jetta the whole way down blasting country music and making fun of eachother, the usual.

Gotta love a good sister pile.

This was my first year being old enough to drink at the beach. So of course my family got a huge kick out of that. My dad spent the weekend telling me how going to the bar with me makes him feel “old as dirt”.

Such a daddy’s girl.

There were even a bunch of my friends from college down the shore that weekend!

It was so nice to just lay on the beach and get sunburnt with my book on how to be a better blogger!

I’ve been spending my time during my summer classes editing my list of goals for the summer and brainstorming blog ideas (clearly, not studying). My main goal is to become much more consistent in my post frequency and content. Hoping to focus this blog more around my art, style, and life rather than constantly commenting on how busy I am!

Isn’t the goal of a blog to make your life look awesome?! I need to work on that.

Have a creative Thursday!

Dance on Dance on Dance

Happy Monday!

I think Mother Nature decided to bring me back to reality after such an awesome weekend!

But we won’t go there, it’s probably a sore subject for everyone.

This weekend was packed to the last minute with all kinds of dance related goodies. My dance team at Temple University (Inmotion Dance Ensemble) competed at the Groove Competition in Lititz. It was an EARLY morning, I was up at 5 curling my hair and gluing on fake eyelashes. But it was worth all of the lost sleep!

Looking this good takes hard work.

The whole time I watched the competition I kept finding myself fighting back tears. I missed doing things like this so much! Dancing is such a huge part of my identity.

I’m so proud of my team!

This dance wound up placing 8th overall!

And InMotion won the judges choice for “Best Dance Crew”

But I couldn’t stick around for awards, I had to drive back to York! I had Lady Capitals practice at 12:30. We learned the cutest new dance 🙂 I’m so excited about it!

Then I was up early AGAIN on Sunday because it was PHOTOSHOOT DAY! That’s right, the Lady Capitals shot a calendar 🙂

Tori managed to snap this picture of me, don’t I look thrilled? P.S- GIANT DONK

I also managed to sneak this pic of her, isn’t she GORGEOUS!?

She also has a lovely blog, you can find it here:

It’s been so amazing to be able to dance with my best friend again, and the fact that we had photo time slots back to back made this day even better! Except for the fact that I had to head straight to work after the shoot (womp womp).

Hopefully you all had lovely weekends as well
