Prom Reflection

This weekend the kids at the high school I graduated from went to prom, so after thoroughly stalking facebook and rating all the girls dresses I took a look at my pictures from prom. Since my boyfriend is a grade above me I was lucky enough to go to prom my junior and senior year. These are some pictures of my boyfriend and me from my prom. I am so happy I can say that I still love my dresses as much as I did back then.
Junior Year
Senior Year
Senior Year: love the blue flowers on the bottom

Weekend via instagram

homemade pizza, it was good except for the fact that I put way too many red pepper flakes on it
picture before dinner at an Italian restaurant on Saturday {Italian on Cinco De Mayo, whoops!}
{wrapping paper from sister's birthday...more pictures Monday!}
Manicure: the coral color is Sally Hansen Extreme Hardware in Coral Reef, the blue is China Glaze's For Audrey. I had to do the blue single nail to match my toes since I was too lazy to get rid of my Tiffany blue pedicute

Something New?

In case you didn't notice, there has been a full extreme makeover here at My Beautiful Life. I kinda did a major overhaul and worked hard to make a new layout and design. Obviously it isn't perfect yet, but I am very proud of all the hard work I have put into this little blog. I have finally figured out how to do some of the things I have been wanting to do for ages (navigation bar, social media buttons) and perfected old elements as well.

Please take note of what things used to look like over here, and you can truly appreciate how much has been changed!
um it's "cute" right? {where is the sarcasm font when I need it?}

{So many polka dots!}

Super awesome color combination, right? Gotta love that dandelion yellow and greyish green color combo

Current Wish List


Wish List




Currently lusting over this adorable kate spade iphone case. I am trying to justify purchasing it since my current case has a lovely chip on the side from dropping it on the cement. But I might wait until fall since I'm sure there will be another set I love even more.

I am also dying to get a leather pandora bracelet too, the champagne is the most versatile color, but I love the deep eggplant metallic. I currently have a filled to the end silver bracelet with beads from my bf, but I would love to have one that's a bit lighter and would only have one to three beads on it. {hey boyfriend, if you're reading this....this would make a great christmas present...wink wink!}

 I have fallen in love with my coral sequin sperrys and a little part of me really really wants to buy them in aqua blue too. I swear once they are broken in {I had to wear socks with them for a few times to avoid blisters} they are the comfiest shoes on the planet. Plus I get compliments on them every time I wear them, which is always a nice bonus.

The Last Thing

I was inspired by Jenna's post and decided to do a motivation edition in honor of my new plan for healthy habits. So far it hasn't been going exactly as planned, but I am trying to make a conscious effort now so we will see how things go!

Worked Out:
I didn't do my 5K running plan today, but I did go for a 45 minute walk/run with the boyfriend bright and early today.

Bought at the Store:
New workout clothes from Kohls. Love getting super great discounts there, the shorts were only 12 dollars. I got a black pair too
 
Bought that was healthy:
 Lots of fresh fruit at the grocery store, {strawberries and pineapple are my fave} 

Made that wasn't so healthy:
Made some fantastic blueberry muffins {tip: sprinkle course sugar on top to make a "crust"}
