Michigan State University/I'm going to be 19!?!

In less than a couple of days I'll be 19. Wait, that doesn't really makes sense.... No I am really turning 19!

I got a wonderful early birthday gift from Michigan State University!

Words cannot describe how excited I am! I hope to continue getting an education in accounting and hopefully become a CPA.

Other than that I spend most of my time with my horses. I still hope to join the MSU equestrian English team and one day accomplish the childhood dream of being on the USA Olympic Show-Jumping Team.

College in 4 DAYS

So with college coming sooner and sooner I've now decided to become a full time saver and pinch all my pennies. In order to save I have decided to take up couponing. And it was a success!

 

Got all of this at Meijer for 9¢! Thank you mperks and all you have to do is type FREEGALLON into mperks and you can get a free gallon of milk :)

 

 

How is it possible especially in Michigan where they set up ways to stop couponing I.e. not allowing double coupons etc? Well, the technique is you use coupons on ONLY sale items. So I pretty much got the Hello Kitty Folder, Milk, and Chex Mix for free. I only paid for the Aussie which was on sale but had to pay sales tax and that's how it was 9 cents.

 

So, couponing is awesome and I will hopefully continue to save :) Thank-you Mom for teaching me to be smart with my money. 





This is why I love Airbrushing Temporary Tattoos! It's a fun way to express creativity as well as meet people of all ages. In addition it's a great side job and is another way to give back to the community thru donations. I will continue to keep airbrushing! #dolphin #whiteinktattoo #airbrush #temporaryairbrushtattoo #TAT #money #AirtoosByMarcia #cute #fun #work #community #airtoo #faketatt #temporarytatt

New Job/College

Well a LOT has HAPPENED! I have got my school shopping all done for when I go to college. I also picked up another job in addition to Airbrushing and Tutoring. I now am a Hollister Model. Which has begun well and is a fun relaxed way to make money since College is expensive.

In the mean time, I've picked up riding Hunter/Jumper instead of saddle seat as part of the equestrian team. In general I love horse riding no matter what discipline.

Now my next big event is the Miss SouthCentral Pageant. It's a MAO Prelim and I've been walking in heels, practicing interview questions/presentation, getting my wardrobe together, practicing my pageant talent (Japanese Folk Song - Sakura (Cherry Blossoms)) and practicing getting my smile right.

Volunteering With Horses - Horses & Humans Working Together

So I started a new Pageant Platform which like Horses Haven' advocates horses/large animals along with volunteering. I saw a problem with most places I volunteered with large animals: There weren't enough volunteers or people that new of their existence. I decided to solve this problem by creating awareness via social media and now word of mouth. I have taken action by linking National Honor Society members who are in search of hours outside of their school with these programs as well as people who just love being around horses. There is no need for experience with horses just an open heart. I will be posting more about different organizations I meet along the way on both my blogger page for this and the facebook page.

DIY Flower Headband!

 

 

My DIY Flower Headband! Channeling my inner hippie. I decided to give this a try.

First, I got out some purple fake flowers that were in the sewing room from an old project and a lavender ribbon. I tied the lavender ribbon around my head for the perfect size and then cut the extra ends off.

Next, I took the purple fake flowers & lavender ribbon and hot glued the flowers onto the ribbon.

Finally I waited for it to dry and PRESTO I have a flower headband!
