Hello big world!

I'm not sure if you noticed but things look a little different here!  Thanks to my sorority sister Jennifer Gilbreath, the author of the blog Sweet Southern Wife  my blog has had a little HUGE makeover!  And what girl doesn't love a makeover every once in a while! 
There are a couple of more tweaks here and there that will be added but I am beyond thankful for the time Jennifer has invested in making my little website more user friends and of course esthetically pleasing! 
This week has been kind of slow mostly because I'm getting adjusted to a new job!  I really love the new spa so far.  It is super professional and I can appreciate that consider my last job.  So that is good news! 
Amanda is back to this city after working on Legally Blonde the musical the past few weeks.  We went to drinks and had a great night out!  ALSO  My roommate Danny turned (drum roll please)  24!  Twenty four doesn't seem old until you see his birthday pictures...  His cake looked literally on fire. 

I think when my 24th birthday rolls around I want a really large cake so I can spread that candles out...

That will be my tactic. 

Back to Amanda! 

The other day I was waiting for her to get off work and decided I wanted to get a pedicure. 

I came across this place which might be the cutest nail salon I've ever seen. 

It's called Pink Lemonade. 

I think my favorite part was picking which Chanel nail polish I liked! 
I think my least favorite part was paying $60 for the most basic pedicure.  I didn't see the prices until I had already stuck my feet into the little tub (full of roses). 
My night following my pedicure was spent at Amanda's apartment drinking wine, watching pretty little liars, and eating cookies.  As I said above Amanda just got back after this amazing professional preforming experience.  She said something that kind of put a lightbulb off in my head and I wanted to expand further.  She said she's not going to snooze in life anymore. 
Follow me for a second: 
Ok, your alarm goes off at 6am and you look at it. You are tired so you click snooze.  Sometimes you hit it once and then get up but we have all had those moments where you continue to hit snooze over and over again.  But What if you didn't.  What if you made the decision in your life to not hit the snooze button anymore. Lets go further  What if you decided not to hit the snooze button in any aspect of your life anymore.  What if you took the idea of snooze out of your life.  You would have two choices:  1. you are awake.  2. you are asleep.
If you practice everyday that when your alarm goes off you are awake, think of all the time you would have. You would have time to make that breakfast bagel, or maybe even get to enjoy your morning walking instead of running to work.  And then you stayed awake and actively involved all day. You didn't go on auto pilot, you didn't snooze through your day until you got off work hoping that your day would improve.  Don't get me wrong  Sleep is important. Sleep is a part of not snoozing.  And sometimes you are going to get more sleep than other times.  The important thing is  Either be asleep or be awake.  nothing in between.  Be involved in your life 100%.
Just something to think about.  Happy Tuesday!
