First things first: Congratulations to Jennifer, the winner of the Xagave Premium Agave Sweetener! Just you wait… I’m so excited for you! Please e-mail me your mailing address so I can send it on to the great people at Xagave.
After seeing Brave when it came out in theaters, have a sudden obsession with bows and arrows. I really, really want one. Call it Brave’s fault, attribute it to The Hunger Games, or chalk it up to watching Sean on the Bachelorette demolish the archery section of the Highland Games… I want to be the new age Katniss. Badly.

My Dad has a badass compound bow. I wanted in on those activities, so he brought it over to my house.

2. I’m obsessed with my new Urban Outfitters purchases. I could live in the “apartment” section of their website. And before you tell me it’s not possible to live in a website, take a looksee:

And the accessory department.

Urban. Obsessed.
Also, since I’m off work for July (God help me.. there’s only 7 days left in this month), I’ve had time to do some painting again. I took my old ugly black frame and jazzed it up with some ivory and gold dry brushing.


And now my living room is a little more cohesive. I’m currently on the prowl for a new inexpensive flat screen.
And, um… did the first episode of Bachelor Pad completely underwhelm everyone else? Gross. The trashy show just took it to a whole new level, and I can’t say I’m a fan.

And can we talk about this creepy slow-smile Kalon moment? I’m going to have nightmares. Actual nightmares, people.

I was so tempted to order that watch! Did the strap break at all? That was my onlyyy hesitation from reviews- otherwise its adorable!

no broken strap for me, but I’ve only worn it a handful of times thus far.
Great photo college! I love things like that… this post is inspiring me to go decorate my walls! And shoot a bow and arrow.
omg….I hate Bachelor Pad. It makes me sad. Poor Chris Harrison.

Most days I wish I could just whip out a bow just for the heck of it. Is that watch from urban? It’s very cute!
Haha I’ve never watched bachelor pad, I might have to check it out to see that creepy smile… lol or not.

How do you feel about Eeyore (Jaclyn) being back? I hope to God Jamie doesn’t get all awkward again… and Blakey still annoys me. Why do I do this to myself? lol
Blakley*
OMG, I’m so glad you remembered Eeyore. Hahaha… Yeah, I am not a huge fan of hers and I think her little “I’m a villain” act is pretty lame. Two thumbs down for both her and freaky scary Blakely.
That Kalon smile KILLED me. I couldn’t handle it. Whyyyy did he have to be in his underwear for that?!
Love that watch girl!

Ugh Bachelor Pad sucked big time
Let’s be honest though, I’ll probably still watch it…

I 100% agree about the Bachelor Pad.

I haven’t ever watched Bachelorpad and I’m not sure I can get behind it. It seems like too much drama for me and I’m not interested. And Kalon…gag!

Oh Gilly!!! One of my all time have SNL skits. And totally agree about the Bachelor Pad. After last night I don’t have much desire to watch that one anymore.

THE SMILE!!! I’m glad I wasn’t the only one creeped out. I was alone while watching it and I yelled out “ew” when I saw it because it was quite disturbing. Was he trying to be evil? Ick, nightmares for sure. The whole show looks like its going downhill. I was pretty upset by the fact. I guess it can only get better now, right

I loved layered bracelets – and I think I need an “A” watch too!

I absolutely LOVE Urban Outfitters too… It’s a good thing that place is a drive from where we live otherwise I’d be in huuuge trouble. I love your new purchases!
Haha until you mentioned it, I didn’t really how trendy bows were these days! And ohh I clearly need to meander over to the urban website because that watch is adorable! I haven’t see Bachelor Pad yet but I feel like it’s always a mess- all the drama just doesn’t interest me!
Emily @ Glitz Glam Granola recently posted..Funfetti and The Final Rose
I absolutely love the “A” watch! I’m tempted to get one. I recently discovered Urban Outfitters’ apartment line, thanks to Pinterest. I’m in trouble…
Had Bachelor PAD playing in the background last night, and looked up just in time to watch Kalon n the mirror and his serial killer smile SERIOUSLY straight from a horror film, and what about the twins openly admitting to their sex scheme?
they disgusted me.. the whole thing was a trashy mess.
As much as I love the Bachelor and Bachelorette, I don’t think I’ll be watching Bachelor Pad. It’s really not even entertaining!

Love the arm candy – too cute!

I love that photo collage! I keep meaning to make one with pictures of my nieces and nephews, but I keep putting it off for some reason.
