I usually only post weekly recaps on my personal blog but this week I had a few accomplishments I'm excited about!
The weeks haven't been that exciting since I got back from Texas, the reason being that Bubba and I have a huge Disney World vacation coming up so we're trying to save as much money as we can in the meantime. I'm super excited for this week with him at Disney, especially since he's never been to a Disney park before! Seeing his reaction to everything is what I'm absolutely looking forward to the most!
So on to the things that happened this passed week!

So on to the things that happened this passed week!
For starters, I got my Yelp Elite badge back!
I lost it last year... my previous relationship was one that held me back from a lot of different things, one of those things being a lot of my goals and things I worked so hard to accomplish. So for me to rebuild my status and to be accepted back into Yelp Elite this year was a huge deal for me! I'm so happy and proud of myself! Now to take back the rest of my previous accomplishments!
I really hate the way blogger formats these pictures! Ugh.
I fell in love with a few new things this week; one being the Strawberry Chocolate Cheesecake snack from Graze and these 3 wax melts from Bath & Body Works! I just noticed these three scents aren't sold on the site, I picked these up at a store when I was in Texas earlier this month so I'm hoping I'll find these in stores at least. The Lavender Vanilla has been my go to jam for both the melt, the bubble bath, candle and pillow mist these last few weeks and has an amazing job of keeping me calm. Which is highly needed as my roommate's cat is driving me freakin nuts.
I started making this salmon over veggies again! This was a favorite dish I would make last year and I forgot all about it recently! So glad I remembered about it cause it's so freakin good! My grocery store has deals sometimes on the veggies or the salmon for buy one get one free so that's always helpful; definitely going to miss those deals when I move to Texas! I actually don't know what grocery stores there are in Texas.
In FFXIV news; I got my Weaver to 60 finally. I also had a friend make me the ilvl190 Ironworks gear for it (which is the highest level gear you can have atm for crafters) and I got all 4 of my books for the craft. I hit 50 on my Culinarian and I'm using Moogle beast tribe quests to take it to 60. After that I'm not sure what else to level as specialist. Bubba has Leatherworker, Alchemy and Goldsmith as his. Our server is pretty small so mats and stuff are hard to find which is why we both level different crafters and gathering classes together. He has Mining and I'm getting my Botany to 60 hopefully by the end of today \o/
I may had not done much this last week but I sure do feel accomplished and I mean, that counts for something... right?
We also got our MagicBand in the mail this week! I'm so excited! I also like the new look of these bands and the fact you can pop out the middle and put them in key chains is cool. I opted for the red one this time and Bubba got the yellow.
I guess this week will be spent leveling things and packing for the trip. Also tidying and purging some stuff because once this trip is over that means moving day is going to be up next!
This passed week has been.... incredible! I didn't know it at the time but it would end up being my most important week of the year.
On Tuesday I had a hair appointment. I was suppose to get a red to purple ombre but after looking it up on Pinterest I decided on something else --- a deep wine color with blond peek a boo highlights. You can see the second picture on the bottom row, that's pretty much what I got. You can also see my amazing hair stylist Hannah who spent the whole FOUR HOURS talking with me. I had SUCH a blast!
The next day I attended my first ever Yelp Elite event. Which is crazy because I've been a Yelp Elite since 2011. I was super excited because this was in a museum and there was an entire room dedicated to dinosaurs. Yes, I geeked out. We got there early so we were able to snag a lot of good food and drinks and swag before everyone else came in and it became too crowded to even walk. I had so much fun! In the second picture on the top row is a picture of me and Colleen, the wonderful lady who invited me to Yelp Elite when I moved to Orlando the first time in 2011. She was such a pleasure to finally meet! Also on the bottom left, I got my first Henna Tattoo!! I've always thought about getting one when I'm in Vegas but I never do. I love the design the artist picked, especially the detail that goes down my middle finger, that part is my favorite haha. Then the top left is me laying on one of those half ball work out things trying to crack my lower back. My hair was touching the floor and I didn't even care. I wasn't anxious, I wasn't freaking out, I wasn't thinking of anything. I was so surprised (because of my OCD there is A LOT I have avoided in the last ten years) I took a picture to remember that moment. Where my hair laid crazy on the floor and I'm happy as can be. I can't even put into words what that was like!
I started a project I've always wanted to do --- fairy lights! You take tulle and tie it between bulbs and fluff it up. It looks really cool on the tree. And the lights aren't so boring. Now I want to turn all the lights we have into fairy lights lol! I did white sparkly tulle and a small strip of gold since the colors this year are white and gold. Which is actually hard to find! I kept finding silver and picking up silver! The heck! WHERE'S THE WHITE. LIKE YOU KNOW, SNOW?!
That weekend was my first WV RTE event and I was NERVOUS. Seriously. I didn't know what to expect but everyone we ran into was sweet and helpful. It was a 9 hour event and my mentor is always pushing me to go and now I see why. It was inspiring, eye opening, it gave me hope that I can do this. Not that I ever really doubted myself but sometimes when weeks, months, don't go your way, you start to get a little hopeless. But everyone who was honored that day gave the same advice never ever quit. The best is yet to come! And I would never think about quitting. Regardless of my status in this company one thing is for sure --- it has changed my life. The positivity, the people I get to work with, what we do... I have this amazing thing in front of me that I can grab a hold of and have the life I've always DREAMED of. I am so lucky to come across something like this. It's what I've been waiting for. Another girl had said If you ask for something, trust the process. And that's something a lot of people say trust the process. And with work like this, or with anything that is in your own hands you HAVE to trust the process. It'll bring you to where you need to be or want to go. Just keep the trust.
This passed week has been amazing and it makes me want to go out and do more things I haven't done. I'm trying to step outside of my comfort zone but it's hard to tell what is and isn't in my comfort zone. What scares me? What would challenge me? What do I want to try, accomplish or succeed at? What's something I want to learn? Somewhere I want to visit. Something I want to do?
I don't know about you, but I'm very excited to see what 2015 will bring! It can't be worse than 2014!
