Free Your Shoulders!

Helloooooo! I've had a lot of people ask me where I bought these shirts. So I figured it would just be easier to post on here so I could add the links! P.s. sorry for the horrible photo quality. I obviously need a better camera...or learn how to take a descent picture, whatevs.

I have LOVED these shirts! Even though my dad and brother hate when I wear them, oh well. I seriously have them in five different colors...no joke....I don't know what is wrong with me either. I just think they are so versatile, you can wear them with everything!

 I have posted a couple links below. I know that the original website has run low on their sizes. So you can either have them email you when they get the size you want in stock again, or you can try some of the other sites that I was able to find. Let me know if you have any questions!!

The website I bought mine from www.shoptherage.com:

Straight Forward in White
Straight Forward in Lavender
Straight Forward in Mint
Straight Forward in Leopard Print

(If they don't have the size you want, you can have them email you when they get more in by clicking on the green 'notify me when available' link on the left hand side after you select your size.)

23 Years Young!

 

My 23rd birthday was yesterday and I have to admit...I was dreading it. Not because I feel like twenty-three is old, but because I am not at all where I thought I would be at this time in my life. To be completely honest, I feel like I am still 16 years old most of the time...which will probably never change (cough...peter-pan syndrome...cough cough).
But this birthday wasn't so dreadful after all! To my complete surprise, it turned out to be one of the happiest birthdays I've had in a very long time. I feel like there is a lot of change about to happen and it's making me feel super pumped! I don't know what it is, but I feel like 23 is going to a big year for me. I can feel it in my bones! So much so that I have been nothing but pure happiness the past couple of days...odd right?! I don't know....it's almost like the air around me has changed or something.
Anyways.....'nough weird talk and back to my birthday festivities! Last night, my family and I went to Sea Salt in Sugarhouse for dinner which was amazballs! If you are looking for a great, LEGIT Italian restaurant, Sea Salt is a must! (try the Lamb Shank, it is molto bene!).

After our amazing dinner, it was cake time! Of coarse with my mom knowing me as well as she does (as most mothers do) she did not get me a traditional cake. Instead, she got one of my most favorite desserts of all time. I'm talkin' my ultimate Achilles heel in the baked goods realm...that's right, salted caramel cake bites from The Sweet Tooth Fairy!! Talk about bringing out the big guns!
p.s. only one more birthday left where I will have enough cake bites per candle...guess we will just have to upgrade to two boxes once I hit a quarter :)

So, this weekend in celebration of my 23rd year of life and the improvements that I have been making, I am pampering myself (toodaloo money)! There is just something about feeling different that makes you what to look different too. I'm talkin' hair change, new wardrobe, listening to Beyonce's 'Upgrade You' all day long kinda different (minus the spending millions of dollars on diamond facials part)! I'm just sooo ready for some change :)

 I can't wait to see what this year has in store. Thank you to everyone for such a wonderful birthday! I honestly am so blessed to have the family, friends, coworkers, etc in my life. You have made the last 22 years so amazing and I don't know where I would be today without all of you!  I am one lucky 23 year old!

And it Begins

My first blog post! I have wanted to start a blog for quite awhile, but I kept waiting for my life to become more exciting so that I would actually have fun stuff to write about. But after a couple of years of waiting, I'm still not married and I still don't have any kids. I don't have my dream house that I get to decorate however I want. I am not working at my dream job and I haven't even graduated from college yet... But then I got thinking, why would I not start a blog now? Just because I haven't met those mile stones in my life yet, doesn't mean that I don't have things worth writing about.
I am 22 years old and have only just started to become comfortable with who I am and realizing who I would like to be. I guess I was a little bit of a late bloomer in that department... I wasn't one of the lucky ones who knew exactly what direction they wanted to head in right out of high school. I was the one in a really serious relationship and thought I would just get married right out of high school and everything would work out from there. So basically I was already so wrapped up in the thought of being someones wife (at 18 years old...shesh!), that I never took the time to figure out who I was or what I really wanted. So when the relationship didn't work out, I was super bummed and lost for quite awhile. But not just because I was sad that the relationship didn't work; it was because I didn't know who to be without it. It was almost as if I was scared to figure out who I was by myself. I was terrified to become an independent person because I didn't think I would be good enough on my own. But over the past couple of years, I grew and learned a lot about myself. What also came as quite a surprise, is that I was actually starting to love who I was!
So I'm breaking the Utah blogger rule and am starting my blog pre-love, marriage or baby in the baby carriage. *gasp!* But I just figure, what better time to start a blog and share my life with people, then when I am wanting to make some positive life changes?!
So in light of my new life ambitions, I have made a couple of new mid-year resolutions. One is to become an opportunist. I have always been a big planner and the person who would talk a big game about all of the things that I want to do in my life or change about myself. But my follow through has been...well pretty much none existent. However, I have come to a place in my life where I need to either start moving in the direction that I want, or risk coasting along in my current boring life for a couple more years *gag*. Since I'm not a coasting kinda gal and much more of a 0 to 60 in 3.5 kinda lady (my driving record confirms this), I am going to start embracing and creating more opportunity in my life; for example, this blog! So get ready for many more posts to come with all the new things that are happening, and I hope you enjoy following along on my journey to become, simply Selena! <3
