Complete Life Update!

So it's been a while.....sorry about that! I have finally been able to get everything in my life updated! Last night I signed up for my summer and fall college classes! I'm taking Math 40 (College Algebra) online this summer and then in the fall i'm taking Chem 105 (Chemistry) and Biol 210 (Human Anatomy) and Human Nutrition online! I am also transferring either this fall (cross your fingers!) or this spring to Central Missouri University! I am so excited to finally transfer and live in a dorm! I am still trying to decide whether or not I should join a sorority...I think it would be a good experience! If anyone has been in a sorority, please let me know about your views and experiences!

April 2011 (purple) Wish List

Good Morning! 
It's 8:23 am here and I am still sleepy, so I am hoping this cup of coffee helps wake me up! Now, onto my April wish list! I am so entirely glad it is April! That means I only have one more month until I'm done with my second semester of college, and it also means that I have my summer off to work until I have to transfer to my new college! I'm not sure where i'm going yet, but I will be living in either a dorm with my own room or an apartment that I will share with one other roommate! Here goes nothing! 

The first thing I have had my eye on is Amika's deep purple tourmaline curler! It's $99 at Sephora, and I absoluetly love it! I've had the chance to try it out and it is an amazing tool! http://sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P285150&categoryId=B70

Next up is Sephora's limited edition 3-piece purple nail polish set! The polish's themselves are all sparkly, but I love the range! At $11, it's a steal compared to what you would pay individually for these! http://sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P286030&categoryId=B70
Urban Decay's Stardust eyeshadow is the perfect blend of pastel and sparkle! The packaging isn't anything special, but what makes it special is the prismatic sparkles that are blended in with the pigment. For $20, it's a little bit pricier than a normal eyeshadow, but well worth it! http://sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P254101&categoryId=B70
This next piece is especially gorgeous! It is by Eye Shadow and it is their Mini Floral Racerback Tank. The reason why I put this on here is because it will fit me, but not some other people. This is a pre-teen girls shirt, but I am short enough for it to fit. It is $24 at nordstroms, and I LOVE it!

Since summer is rapidly approaching (at least in Kansas City it is!) I figured I should include some summer-y stuff! This swimsuit is by Carmen Marc Valvo and is a bit pricey, but well worth splashing out! It is the Kenya one-piece swimsuit and I just love the rouching, skirted bottom, color, and bandeau top! At $167 I would definitely splash out on this! http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/carmen-marc-valvo-kenya-one-piece-swimsuit/3148171?origin=keywordsearch&resultback=3200
This next item is for girls who are going to prom! This dress is gorgeous, and at $150, it's a steal! I love all of the detailing and the colors in this dress, I just wish I would of found it last year so I could of worn it to senior prom! http://www.therosedress.com/shop/products/itemNX.asp?id=2556&vendorid=NX

Last but not least is a handbag that is Oh-So-Fabulous! Dooney and Bourke has done it again with their Venus Nina handbag! It is on sale right now at Macy's for $155.99, which is a good deal for D&B! I love the purple pleather outside and bright red inside! http://www1.macys.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=452704&CategoryID=45757&LinkType=#fn=COLOR%3DPurple%26sp%3D1%26spc%3D7
