It's "Princess Season"! [I'm Baaaaack!]

Wow it has been over a month since I last posted! I have just been insanely busy and honestly... a little lazy in my spare time! Haha!

Any updates since the last time I posted? Hmmm...:

1) I have a school counselor interview next week! Wow... this is huge! I am both nervous and overjoyed! I feel like I have been in school forever and FINALLY! It is starting to be beneficial!

2) I got inducted into Chi Sigma Iota-- the International Counseling Honor Society! Apparently the whole not having a life thing is paying off :) Insert cheesy nerd pic here:

I looked much cuter before the convenient rain downpour... thanks, Mother Nature!

3) Spring is here! And if the cold weather would stay away, I would be even more happy!

Alrighty, so on to the inspiration behind this post...

So formal season is upon us...or as I like to call it "Princess Season"! Once you reach a certain age, some of us relish every opportunity to get all glam-ed up and feel like a princess [let's just reflect back to when it was a life goal of mine to be a princess... ahh memories.]

I remember when prom or sorority formal time came around and I just haaaad to go out and get a new dress, new make up, and figure out what to do with this head. Also, I used to tan before big events... that glow was much more important than wrinkles... hehe. Well I just haaaaad to spend lots of money to feel like a princess. 

With the gaining of the years, I like to think I also gained a bit of wisdom... just a bit. Now, I realize that "princess" is a frame of mind. You don't need to spend a ton of money to feel like a princess. 

Let's do an experiment: So go to your mirror, strike your "Wonder Woman" pose and look at yourself for two minutes without passing judgement... embrace your inner princess! Because you are gorgeous and you would still be gorgeous in a paper bag with some mud splattered on your face :)

I know I know... Ashley, it's not socially acceptable to wear a paper bag and mud during formal season... fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine! 

I glam-ed myself... well kinda :) [I'm just not a glam person anymore, but I do enjoy wearing a little extra sparkle occasionally haha]

This dress cost me $10! TEN BUCKS, PEOPLE! I saw it and haaad to have it :)
I got it from J.R.'s... yes, I know, mind blown! Soooo pretty!

I don't really do anything with my hair... I made it big, put some waves in it with
my flat irons, then twisted and pinned back some pieces!
