Since this blog is titled "My Life AND Other Girly Goodies" I figured I'd include some actual things that have been going on in my life rather than the normal girly goodies I've posted about. My internship is quickly coming to an end. This week will be my last week in DC, and I head back to Alabama on Monday. I'll take a pit stop in South Carolina to break up my traveling time and to visit one of my best friends, Trey. Until then I'll be packing, organizing, loading up my car, and preparing myself for the severe sadness that I'll be going through when I head back down South.

Quick mood change now, didn't mean to take it to that level. Let's backtrack a couple of days/weeks to some interesting things I've been up to! My family and I picked the most amazing weekend ever to see the cherry blossoms. We went on St. Patty's day! They were in full bloom, and absolutely amazing. We packed a picnic, and hung out on some grass while playing ball in between bites of food. Here's some pics from that:

My mom came to visit during the last weekend of March! I was so excited to see her and have some much needed mom time. Her plane was delayed on Friday so we didn't do much. We ordered room service (pizza and cokes) and hit the sack. On Saturday we did some shopping and sightseeing. We ate at fun restaurants and watched movies. I even talked her into seeing the Hunger Games (the second time for me). Sunday we did a little more shopping (our favorite past time if you can't tell) and rented a movie in the room. We relaxed, talked, laughed, and had a blast. Here's some pictures from our short time together: 

The last blog worthy thing I've done lately is attend the White House Easter Egg Roll! It was pretty cool to walk around the White House grounds. Obviously, the focus is toward children, but it was so fun to see Summer's face when seeing new exciting things. Autumn is too young and enjoys herself regardless of the location, White House or not. But here's the one picture from the White House that will upload. There are many others on facebook, but I'm still annoyed that I can't upload more here... oh well.

Now that I'm all caught up blogging on the fun DC experiences I've had it's close to being time for me to leave. I can't believe 4 months have gone by so fast, but we'll save the emotions for another post. For now, I'm happy as a clam and having an amazing end to a semester well spent with wonderful family and new friends :) 

March Favorites

I can't even believe I am already writing this post. Where has time time gone? I feel like I was just writing about starting my internship (the beginning of January) yesterday. Anyway, here are a few products I was loving in the month of March:

1. Fairydrops Scandal Queen Mascara: This mascara is patented in Japan, made by a Japanese TV host. It is absolutely amazing. The brush is so unique, I have never seen one like it before. I start by putting it on the top of my lashes to lengthen then brushing up on the bottom of my top lashes to curl. I recommend this mascara for everybody. There isn't another one like it.

2. Bobbi Brown Pale Pink Blush: This blush is perfect for spring and summer. It is absolutely ridiculous looking in the packaging- it looks very bright and clown like. But it doesn't go on the skin this way. I decided to buy it when Michelle Money from the Bachelor did a youtube video about it and I fell in love with the way it looked on her, and I love the way it looks on me.

3. St. Tropez Self Tanning Mousse: This is the best invention since sliced bread. I have tried every spray tan, and self tanner imaginable, and this one puts them all to shame. I mentioned it here. It is a perfect self tanner, and I will continue to buy it over and over. 

4. Gucci Guilty Intense Perfume: The boyfriend got me this for Valentine's Day. The smell is so different than anything I've ever had before. I absolutely love it and have worn it almost every day this month. It is feminine but has pepper like undertones at the same time which makes for the perfect scent in my opinion. 

Obviously, I'm not the kind of person who wears the same scents or makeup products over and over. I like having a variety to choose from, or else I get bored. That's why this months favs and the last favorite post I wrote are so different. I am always looking for new things to try, and I'm a sucker for anything girly :)
