Oh, a Ball! + Updates

Hello Dearies!

This past weekend I was privileged to attend my university's annual Summer Ball. It was like the Prom I never received in high school! 

The day started with ridiculous hair prepping (my hair is thick like the Forks Rainforest). It took almost three hours and forty-five minutes to complete. But with the help of this tutorial, I achieved this Dita Von Teese inspired hair style (and ALL BY MYSELF!!!). It was so beautiful to me. There's and inherent beauty in bobby pins scattered across your boudoir, and the smell of hairspray amplified by straighteners and curling irons.  Taking actual time to put yourself together...Priceless. 

Afterwards, the girls and I made our way through ravaging winds coming in from Ireland to get to the Main Arts building where all of the festivities were held. We all were pleasantly surprised at how live everything was: Fairground rides (Ferris wheel, and some catastrophic unnamed other), Champagne, a hall flashing with awesome lights and bands waiting to stir it all up!

Before we all danced the night away, we made sure to stop and get our portrait taken! That was magical, especially seeing the outcome of this fabulous photograph!

It was a truly memorable night!!

In other news, I have some exciting posts coming up, including a Blogging event in the developmental stage, but stay tuned for the rules of participating!

I've just finished my final presentation, which means it's summer. So that means, more ukulele covers, book reviews, interviews, inspirational/spiritual posts, and watercolors in my moleskine! 

Have a lovely night!
