Guess what. Today I think my motivation popped in to say hi. I hope she stays so that I don't have to fake it anymore! Cause that really wasn't working out too well.
Ok, before we get bombarded with pictures, I want to ask you all a very serious question...
Not really.
But kind of, because I don't know if I'm just now going through the acne phase of puberty or what, but my face seems to be begging for attention. I keep breaking out worse than I ever have! I'm sure this dirty humidity doesn't help much, but it seems there has got to be something else I can do to help this poor skin of mine.
Do any of you use Neutrogena face wash? I have heard of many lovely faced women using it. Share all your dirty (clean) secrets with me will ya? I'd appreciate it so very much.
Now to my dear friend. You've heard of her before. Her name is Berit and she is quite lovely. Well she came for a visit before heading off to her mission in TAHITI! That's right, TAHITI! We're so jealous.
It was so good to have her here. We had a lovely time, but of course never enough time.
She'll be a wonderful missionary. To learn more about a mission, you can go HERE.
Let's take a closer look at that middle right pic......

| We made a bet. I had to guess the length of The Gateway (in Utah) in feet within 100 ft. If I guessed it, Lombardis was for dinner. I'm awesome. Yum. |

| Berit and Jordan waited all day for tickets to see Into The Woods at the Delacorte Theatre in Central Park. Amy Adams from Enchanted played the bakers wife and was awesome. Donna Murphy (voice of the witch on Tangled) played the witch in the show and was awesome. And Meryl Streep was there nearby attending the performance, and was awesome, cause she's just awesome. I was lucky enough to sit on the front row!! |

| We are SWEATY. But beautifully sweaty. |
Sorry about the blurry pictures. And I'm sad my cute new necklace is hiding behind my shirt. My friends over at The Equals Project so kindly picked it out for me.
I'll leave you with some good news....
Ready? I'm doing a giveaway. Yes, a giveaway! And it's awesome. I'm so excited about it. Stay tuned!!
xoxo,
Mandy
Cute blog post and the pictures are adorable. Just blog hopping tonight and happened to catch yours on the Blog Train site!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by! I'm quite fond of your blog as well. You're such an entertaining writer! Thanks for helping me to discover it! xoxo
DeleteIf people enjoy reading my blog as much as I enjoy yours, then I really need to get my own motivation back and start writing. I love reading about you and your life. So sorry about the revisits from puberty. Maybe your teenagerhood is finally catching up with you 'cause I don't seem to remember it ever really affecting your face. I use Mary Kay, but I have for years. It looks like you guys had an awesome day with friends and I'm jealous of the whole "Into the Woods" experience. Freakin' Awe.Some.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the face wash advice! I've tried it, but only a here and there so I obviously couldn't tell how it helped. I'll get some and try it out! xoxo
DeleteAwww looks like you guys had so much fun! I love Berit, and miss her so much! We grew up in the same ward, but I hardly see her anymore. I had really bad acne problems after I delivered Gavin, I think it was the hormones from nursing and everything going on. Anyway, ever since, I have been using a 5 % benzoyl peroxide wash, it has been the best! My skin is totally clear now. It did wonders to my face. You can get it over the counter. Mine is just the clean & clear brand. Anyway, I love your blog, and am so jealous of your NYC adventures!
ReplyDeleteThat's what I'm scared of! I'm sure pregnancy is going to kick my face in the butt because even my periods do. Who knows. And thank you for the face wash advice! I'm excited to try it out! xoxo
DeleteHow fun for you to see into the woods! I so need to come to NY before baby #2 arrives I always say that haha hoping one day it will happen...

ReplyDeleteMands this is so cute!! I am so glad B got to go and visit you!! It's sad sending her off but she really will be the greatest missionary ever! What a fun send off!! And into the woods?? I am SO jealous. Cast sounds like it was amazing. Love you!
ReplyDeleteDid you know my bro-in-law just returned from Tahiti? That will be so awesome!! Tell Berit to prepare for the heat/humidity, and to take a bike! So exciting!
