Weekend Things.

Remember last week's Five Things when I went on and on about glitter nails and friendship bracelets? Well I did them. And I documented them for you. I know you were worried all weekend about how they would turn out, so I will post these pictures now to rid you of your anxiety. First, the glitter tipped nails:



I think they turned out cute! I used loose glitter from Michael's and dabbed it on with a wet paint brush onto my base coat, then put 2 top coats on top. So fun. And our Michael's is right next to Chik-fil-a and they have peach shakes right now that I can barely discuss the deliciousness of, so I would say all in all it was a success. 

Next, the friendship bracelets, which my cat was very fascinated by: 


These were fun, and my husband even got into it. It turned out to be quite therapeutic to do while we watched a movie over the weekend. Husband jumped right in and made me that lovely chevron one on the left. I struggled and could only make him a striped one (on the right). It was a situation of too many freaking strings to keep straight. However, after days of practice I have nearly conquered that dang chevron. They are cute though, right?


In other weekend happenings, S and I had to sing in church. It was scary. Many xanax's were digested by myself. Luckily, husband's grandma came up to visit and bought me this looooovely dress from Old Navy {have you been there lately? hooooly summer cuteness} and when I put it on I was all the sudden Whitney Houston, and the singing was no big thing. Amazing what a new pretty dress can do.

Dress: Old Navy gift, Cardi: Target 6.99, Shoes: ROSS 14.99


My weekend=success.
Now only if we didn't have to wait sooo long for another one.
Come fast Friday! I beg of you!

Hope yours was great too!

  1. Phew, now I can stop worrying about how your nails and bracelets turned out! Both are lovely, and I hope you dressed up as a cow last week for free chik-fil-a! (I didn't . . . but I hope you did and it's an upcoming outfit post?!) Also, I love the dress, and I'm sure you guys were smashing at church. And since you know I'm full of awkward church stories, my husband and I were asked to sing a duet in church once and he said yes without asking me (why would he think I would agree to this?!), and after like a month of practicing the song and having increasingly serious panic attacks, I made him call the ward music lady up and tell her we weren't going to do it after all, then I just avoided her for the next 2 years that we were in the ward. If only I'd known I could just buy a new dress and become the Mormon Whitney Houston!!!

  5. Your nails turned out great! I tried it this weekend and posted about it today too, so great minds think alike! PS. Did you have a hard time photographing your hands? I took tons of photos, and my hands managed to look odd in every one.

  12. Um, can we pause for a second? I'm still in shock that the adorable dress is from Old Navy!? I mean, I love Old Navy, but like everybody else, I kind of forget just how cute their stuff can be. Also, I am so glad to know I am not alone in finding the chevron friendship bracelets hard to make. I wound up giving up and making a striped one for myself. I felt so silly (can't elementary school students make chevron bracelets), but oh well. Now I know I'm not the only one. Whew.

    And I love that Old Navy dress! I haven't been to Old Navy in awhile, and if they have cute dresses like that..I need to go there!
