Happy Halloween Eve!! Y’all, if you know me at all, you know that Halloween is my favorite holiday EVER. So, I got a little lazy this year and decided I was going to be a vampire. I can’t keep trying to upstage myself every year. Halloween is basically the only night (besides my birthday) that I can keep myself awake long enough to be out of bed past 9 pm, so it’s important.  It’s hard being me. An old woman trapped in a young body….

So, I ordered sweet vampire fangs and theater glue, set out my outfit and was ready to party the night away. I’m a workin’ girl with bills to pay and didn’t get home until around 11:30 Saturday night. College life man, the parties don’t start until LATE. Your girl was gross and smelling like all the food in the kitchen, not to mention the trash. I was going for a very sleek and refined look, (scary yet classy) and instead looked like I hadn’t brushed my hair in weeks (I hadn’t) and honestly, just all around worn out (not exactly eternal being). My troubles had only just begun. I have never used fangs or theater glue before but I honestly didn’t doubt my abilities to figure it out… First mistake. Two girls and a couple of tears later, (thank you for all of your love and support, Jaisha), the fangs were not going to stay. Apparently, there was a missing piece to the package (thanks Bezo!) and it was “essential” or something. Whatever that meant. You know when you have this awesome idea in your head and you look in the mirror and think, wow. I look like a piece of seaweed? Yeah, that was me, except I looked like a piece of seaweed with very intense red eye makeup. Needless to say, one cannot be a vampire without fangs and by the time I had finally given up on sticking plastic teeth in my mouth, it was almost 12:30 in the morning and I still wasn’t even done with makeup or hair or gotten dressed, much less called an uber. I know… First world problems…. Throwing in the towel to a night out, I scrubbed my face clean, and spent a good amount of time staring in the mirror while internally having an existential crisis, which I then expressed in about 30 texts to my mom. (Sorry for waking you up, thanks for letting me rant). To wrap up my sad sad time of being a toothless vampire, I think I shall try again next time. It’s spooky season but for me, it was loser season. I live for Halloween. How dare I let myself down.

This past weekend I went hiking in the beautiful state of Arkansas to Whitaker Point and Lost Valley Trail and FELL IN LOVE WITH THE FALL COLORS ALL OVER AGAIN. This is my favorite time of year in my favorite place. How blessed am I that I get to live here?? The hike was so fun and my legs are so sore after walking 500 miles up a mountain. (Jesse is most likely reading this and rolling his eyes at me because of how God awful dramatic I am, but I definitely got my steps in for the day.) My legs may hurt but my heart is happy!

So, as some of you know, I am so honored to announce that I have been featured in the November Issue of British Vogue wearing Chavon Shree’s beautiful beautiful designs. It came as a complete shock to me and I am ecstatic. My mom definitely cried.

Thanks for reading, sweet things. I really appreciate all of you. See you next Tuesday!!
