I started out my week in LA at the Lucky FABB event. On Tuesday and Wednesday I spent my time in San Diego at the USD library working on group projects and studying for test. I am excited to complete this week at home in the bay area. This weekend I flew home for such a special event, my cousins Senior Ball. I have done her hair and makeup for every special event throughout her high school years. I am so honored that I am the only one she trusts when it comes to hair and makeup for special events. I can’t wait to share photos with you next week. Angelyn is very tall and lean and her dress is stunningly beautiful so…., I anticipate she will look like a goddess on Saturday night. Last night I arrived at the Oakland Airport at 10 pm. It feels so nice to be home with my family. I even had a furry friend sleep with me last night, which makes me want my own pup down in San Diego even more. Although I decided to leave San Diego at a hectic time, I think that this mini vacation will be a great way to re-group and get organized before finals week. Being home always helps me to clear my head and get focused. Here are some of the small things that made this crazy week memorable and enjoyable. Have a great Cinco de Mayo weekend. I will be celebrating with some guacamole (recipe here), a margarita (recipe here) and the best chicken casserole ever (recipe here).
