Valentine's Day

While it is definitely easy to get all bummed out this time of year, I want to encourage you and give you a good Valentine's Day!

First of all, yes, it sucks to be single on V-Day. Duh, we all know that.

Now get over it.

You know what makes me feel so much better about it?

The fact that allll the candy will be on sale on the 15th!!!

It's true, save your chocolate craving for the day after.

When I worked at a Walgreens, it went 50% off the day after, and I think most places are the same way.

Also, you can take this oppurtunity to wear pink and red together and no one can say a darn thing!

Plus, you can have dresses like these!!!

This one says it's red, but it doesn't look very red to me.

Still amazing!!

This one is from ModCloth...super cute.

This one is only $24.80 from Forever 21!

So, that's all folks!

Maybe I'll do some date night beauty here soon!

Have a beautiful night!

With all my love, Morgan

A Day in the Life of Morgan...

Went a Little Something Like This!

6:51 a.m.: Hear my sister's chihuahua's jingle bell collar. Realizing I woke up 20 minutes late to sub.

6:52 a.m.: Aw, heck yeah! Cinnamon rolls for MacKenzie's 14th birthday! (HAPPY BIRTHDAY KENZ!!)

8:00 to 2:40: Subbing! We had a short assignment, then played the "laughing game," "7-Up," and Hangman.

I love subbing for English, because I can actually help them.

Oh, inbetween all that, I checked out MacKenzie and Trey so we could get some lunch for Kenz's birthday.

3:15 p.m.: I call back the casting guy for a car show/fashion show.

 (Weird combo, I know, but that's what it is hahaha)

I e-mail him all my pin up style make up looks and he LOVES THEM!!!
Ahhhh!!!

I was so excited!
It looks like I will be the make up artist for this show up in Tulsa!

If all works out, I'll be there all three days in February.

Then, feeling inspired, I did my own make up hahaha.

Well, it was a lot of fun! Haha.

I hope everyone has some good news and oppurtunities coming into their life!

I'm pretty sure that sentence has lots of grammatical errors...hahaha

By the way, I'm watching E! News and I feel like Tim Tebow should ask me out, ok?

With all my love, Morgan

I Love Beautiful, Wonderful, Amazing Days Like Today

Why is it a good day, you may be asking?

First of all, I am a creature of habit.

I like to keep my routine going!

I'm at work on a Saturday, which is nice because I like to work Saturdays.

The store is busier and we generally have better business.

Plus, I get homework and studying caught up on when no one is here shopping!

I want to create a list of things that make me happy.

Why?

Because I like lists, that's why!!

1. Getting a call from your best friend when you normally just I.M. on Facebook.

2. Listening to all your favorite songs on your way to work.

3. Feeling pretty darn cute in your Toms, jeggings (which, yes, I do wear them as pants...get over it!), white t-shirt and beaded scarf!

4. Finally figuring out cream liner. That stuff baffled me before I bought the cheap stuff from E.L.F.

5. Getting a head start on projects! Ahhh, not feeling stressed is wonderful.

6. Researching hair and make up looks for an appointment you have coming up! AND it's a paid one!

7. Having your sister call and say she placed 1st in her preliminary Humorous Interpretation round...if you weren't a nerdy drama competitor in high school you won't understand the reference, but just know that it is exciting!

8. Seeing pictures from a recent shoot you styled and seeing they turned out pretty darn good!

9. Having a Big Gulp of Diet Dr. Pepper sitting on your computer desk.

10. Being in a super well-rested and caffeinated state!

I hope everyone is having a beautiful day, because it sure is beautiful in OKC today!

With all my love, Morgan

College Beauty

I think I have finally realized something about myself.

I hate dating.

You may be thinking, "Hey, Morgan, haven't you always said you hate dating?"

And I would reply, "You got that right! But here's the real reason!"

Dating takes energy.

It means if I like someone or want to get to know them, I have to get up and talk to them.

Or text or call them.

Boo!! Hiss!!

The very thought of having to use any of my energy to make someone laugh or like me sounds terrible.

Yes, I realize how embittered and negative that sounds hahaha.

But, I've been thinking and I've hardly typed up anything beauty related!

It's kind of hard because on my other blog with my friend Andrew, I have to talk about beauty stuff (He's the fashion part) so when I get on here I'm all "beautied" out!

So here are my basic college beauty tips.

I don't live in a dorm, because my college is about 20 minutes away from home and it has no dorms so I have no dorm tips, except wear flip flops in the shower so you don't get a foot fungus! Haha

You're probably going to be tired. A lot. Unless you're spoiled and only took classes in the afternoon and don't have a job. Brat. Anyway, to avoid looking ridic tired after a night of studying, or maybe just being out too late with your buds you should:

A) Wash your face very well. Especially if you didn't take off your make up the previous night. Dull skin can make you look even worse.

B) Line the inner rim of your eyes with white eyeliner. It takes out the redness.

C) If your eyes are red from lack o' sleep, use some good ol' handy dandy visine!

D) Blush on the apples of your cheeks will perk up your skin making you look more rested.

E) Obviously, you need to use a cover up on the circles under your eyes. Your cover up should be one shade lighter than your skin.

Running late? Of course you are! But this is college...you don't have to be dressed up!

Slip on clean clothes, put on deodorant, hair in pony tail (if it's not long enough, just pin back the front with bobby pins, headband or bandana) and for goodness sakes, brush your teeth!

Don't worry about make up and take a seat closest to the back and door.

It allows for a less annoying entry to class and for a quick escape so no one sees you in your rough state! Hahaha.

If you must wear make up, then that is your prerogative. I think you should've woken up earlier though!

Is it sad that I've used all of these tips, tried and true?? Hahaha

With all my love, Morgan

Why Am I So Exhausted?

Because today feels like the LONGEST DAY EVER!!!

While I did officially start school yesterday, with just one Modern European history class, today was my full day of school. I had 4 classes, starting at 8 am.

Good news is, all my professors seem really cool and my favorite professor remembered me from last spring semester! She is so knowledgeable and I hope to be the same way when I'm teaching history one day!

I must be a glutton for punishment because I'm taking 18 hours this semester.

Two from one of the hardest (yet, still my favorite!) professor.

I have an online class that I still need to check.

If I could tell my high school self something, it would be this:

"Self, junior high sucked. High school sucked a little less. College is amazing. But it's a lot of work, so appreciate your lazy days...you won't get many when school starts!"

I find myself always wishing time had passed.

"Man, I wish this class would just end!"

"I wish the summer would come already!"

"Is it 6 pm yet??"

But I think I need to take a chill pill and appreciate the time I have here on earth.

At my church, Pastor Craig Groeschel just preached a sermon on wisdom.

How we just need to ask for it and we'll get it!

How awesome is that?

I feel like I would have never come up with appreciating my time without my many prayers for wisdom. It is truly amazing how God works.

And he doesn't even get the cred for it most of the time.

I hope everyone is having an amazing day and enjoying it!

After all, we're not guaranteed our next breath.

With all my love, Morgan

My Realization of the Day

I have recently realized that I really don't want to date or have a boyfriend.

Then, I'd feel like I have to entertain the person I'm seeing and that does not sound fun.

I need a best friend.

So, I'll be taking applications. haha.

You must enjoy shopping, not be married or have a kid (Sorry, I just want a friend who's at the same stage of life as I am!) preferably not dating anyone seriously, male or female, will come over even when I say I don't want them to so as to force me to hang out with people every once in a while, understands that I don't text everyday, have a love for theater, movies, and appreciates make up...Hmm...I don't like or understand mean spirited people! Or when people make fun of others all the time. It just make me uncomfortable!

Also, be prone to obsessing over fictional characters.

Such as everything that has to do with The Hunger Games.

I would like my best friend to watch the Twilight movies with me, but understands my need to make fun of them, as well as love them secretly.

I'd kinda like a work out buddy, as well!

Sometimes I like to buy things for my friends, but I shouldn't be buying your lunch or 7/11 drink everytime we go somewhere!

Also, I don't really hug my best friends.

That's weird for me.

I don't really hug people period though!

And if my future spouse could have these characteristics as well, I'd love that! Lol.

So yeah, any takers for my new BFF?? Hahaha!

That's all folks!

With all my love, Morgan

Plus I got a good deal.

I ordered Bobs from Sketchers and got free shipping!

But anyway, I would love to hear other people's lists!

Wishing I was in a pair of sweats and my lumberjack pajama shirt, with all my love, Morgan
