Dates, new hobbies, and what I wore

Wednesday, November 18, 2015
Hello, blog.

And people reading this.

Can I just not say the "I've been busy with work, school, friends, and life so I haven't been blogging lately" excuse?

I can?

Sweetness.

Honestly, life has still been real rad lately. I've actually been making new friends, which is awesome. I love making new friends. We went to Ikea in Draper and almost got kicked out. Great times. It's fun to be able to take time out of a crazy busy life and be able to have fun and kick back with good people.

In which, last night I had a date. Which was a ton of fun. I haven't gotten dressed up and all dolled up in awhile, so that was nice. I got to wear heels and not be taller than my date, because luckily for me, he's like 6'5". Quite a giant. But a gentle giant, I'll give him that. He's cool. And again, I'm so happy I was able to get all dressed up and also get out of the house. Cabin fever, I tell ya.

Obviously I'm going to share what I was wearing last night.

Also I'm really trying to get into makeup. Not so much hair, but makeup. I know, I'm really starting to turn into the stereotypical Utah girl. Except I'm not married. But I'm really starting to feel like I am. But oh well. I don't really care. I think the Utah girl stereotype is annoying and overrated. Let girls here live and do what they want.

If they want to blog, let them.

If they want to be photographers, let them.

If they want to be into hair, let them.

If they want to be into makeup, let them.

If they want to wear maxi dresses with chunky necklaces, LET THEM.

Can girls here breathe without being criticized?

Honestly, people. Let us live.

I like hair and makeup, but more so makeup. I have two cousins who are mostly into makeup, while one is also big into hair. I've lived with one and live near the other, so I've really been around makeup and hair products over the last two years. I think it's fun. So I'm going to try jumping into makeup and see where it takes me. Not anything huge. I don't want to do makeup artistry as a job or anything, or be a beauty guru on YouTube, but just to wear makeup and see if I feel good wearing it.

I don't wear too much makeup. At all. I have a couple pallets but that's about it, honestly. So I'm saving money and go balls to the wall soon and see what happens. Like most phases, this will probably be that.

A phase.

Anyway, here's what I wore on my date last night.







I felt cute and looked cute. Confidence is key sometimes, y'all.
