Weekend Wonders: Three.

SOAR is over. No more small groups, sub sandwiches, or shuttle duty...at least until next summer. Up next? Connections. But first: bridal showers, hair appointments, weddings, job interviews, and vacations. Summer is winding down...but I'm so ready for school to start I can barely handle it. 

A few other things I'm excited about? This weekend's wonders. 

 I want every single one of these pillows.  My bedroom this fall is going to be grey and white...and blasts of color like this. 

I'm making this salad soon. Avocados are easily my favorite food on the planet, and this just looks divine. 

 You'd think having a mom that owns a cake business would make me hate cake...but you'd be surprised how much I absolutely love frosting. Combine cookie dough and frosting, and you have the ultimate girl comfort food. 

 This wall art craft looks like a blast and a half.  I love quotes, and I could easily make a thousand of these for my new room. 

Anyone who knows me even remotely well, knows that I love hairdye. That said, I haven't dyed my hair for almost three months. I have a hair appointment on Tuesday, and I'm STOKED. My cousins have raved about this girl for forever, and I finally caved and scheduled an appointment. I'm loving this hair color; perfectly faded, blonde enough for summer, but keeps the dark I love. Does anybody have any other suggestions for this girl's crazy mane? 

With SOAR over, I only have one job to worry about this week..and maybe even a Bear Lake trip this weekend to plan. Also, a job interview on Tuesday! We'll see how that goes...and then I get to recover from that with hours of pampering my hair. Life is looking real good this week. 

Weekend Wonders: Two.

After a week of movies, Tiki parties, hours and hours of the Sig Ep boys, work, sleepovers, attempting to go to the Cache Valley Cruise-In, watching Brian try to make friends with a couple monkeys, and actually attending my single's ward...it's safe to say it's been a good week. ...it's time for bed. Besides, it's Birthday week! I'll finally be 19 on Wednesday, no big deal. But first, this Weekend's Wonders.

This song, that quickly became the anthem of our trip to Huntsville. Justin Timberlake is just as good as he was when I was little.

This kitchen.  Gray is my favorite color...and I'm kind of obsessed with this design.

These initial rings. Simple--and slightly perfect.

And finally, these words.  I'm surrounded by some pretty successful people...and sometimes I forget that I'm only 18. I've got plenty of time to be where they are.

Weekend Wonders: One.

I love Pinterest. 

I "pin" a lot of random things: wedding ideas, decoration inspiration, clothes I wish I had, quotes [so. many. quotes.], and a whole bunch of stuff that I just adore. 

So we're starting a series. It's called "Weekend Wonders." 

This week....

This shot from Audrey Hepburn's movie "Funny Face," which happens to be one of my all-time favorite movies.

This Leonardo da Vinci quote.  Just the motivation I needed to act.

This video. Reminded me of Brother Crimin's seminary class--and if this father-daughter duo doesn't make you smile, you don't have a heart. 

This heart+state craft.  Definitely making one for my new apartment. [Just over 50 days until we move in!]

This sequined cardigan.  I love summer more than any other time of the year, but when my bedroom is 81 degrees, I'm begging for cold and layered clothes. 

This journal idea.  I have a really hard time keeping a consistent journal that isn't my blog...and I love this idea. Maybe separate the months with my favorite pictures instead of postcards? 

This picture that perfectly describes how Jon and I feel about ice cream [long story short, the word "obsessed" doesn't even begin to cover it].

These typography sketchbooks. Being the layout and design nerd that I am, these are basically my happy place put on paper. Birthday present ideas?? 

 This DIY corkboard.  I've been obsessively looking for decor ideas for my new apartment, and I'm thinking this is perfect. Any other suggestions? 

And my personal favorite, this list of items you can mail in the US without packaging. That missionary of mine is going to be receiving some awfully different mail in the near future. 

Also, happy 19th to the best friend, roommate, and twin sister ever. You're the best, Em. 

And happy five months tomorrow. :)
