Easter Weekend in Photos

On Sunday I posted a few photos from my phone because I couldn't find my camera photo uploader thing. I forgot it at home (typical...) so here are some more photos from the weekend! Enjoy!

Love the brightly colored Peeps! They outlined the funfetti cake.

It was snowing when we first got there, and while I am a wimp about being cold, it blanketed the cabin beautifully.

The crab boil...so delicious

Eye dyeing!

The very colorful cake

The many empty boxes of Peeps used to decorate the cake

Happy Easter! [a few photos]

Happy Easter! We have been keeping a very busy schedule lately - a schedule chock full of relaxation and celebration! So it's a nice busy instead of crazy-work busy. A few friends and I went to our friend Abbie's family's house for Easter weekend. Last night involved a huge crab boil and egg dyeing and I took some good photos to document it! Unfortunately, I cannot currently find the uploader thing for my camera. :( Here are a few photos from my phone though!

The four of us after church. I had not yet changed into my "comfy clothes," but definitely did right after this photo was taken. We wore our "Easter Best" to church, had a coffee on the way, and went to a wonderful service.

This afternoon we went on a quick hike! It was nice to get moving when my body was so ready to crash and take a nap after the large brunch with chocolate bunnies for dessert. It was a beautiful, sunny afternoon and a nice way to sneak in some exercise while we got to chat.

These warm rolls were amazing. Enough said.

I love this sign! It says, "All Because Two People Fell In Love." So sweet. It makes the home feel even cozier.

Have a wonderful Easter! Enjoy the holiday and celebrating with those you love!

Merry Christmas Eve! I went with my family to do last-minute Christmas shopping for a majority of the day and then out to dinner. There was a lot of Christmas music ranging from The Beach Boys and Michael Buble to Justin Bieber and The O.C. Chrismakkuh album.

I also got an adorable and funny-looking snowman cupcake. :)

Love these easy-to-do Photoshop actions

Earlier this year I downloaded the Pioneer Woman's actions sets for Photoshop Elements to try something new with my photo editing. I loved the effects they put on the photos, and sat for at least an hour and a half trying out the different actions on my photos - so fun!

Here's an example of an original and edited photo.
Original:

Edited with the "Sunshine" action:

Here are some more edited photos from my trips to Colorado and California:

Once the actions are downloaded, all you need to do is open the photo in Photoshop, decide which action to use, and with a click of a button your photo is changed! It is so simple. Thanks, PW! :)

Download the actions from the website here.

cozy cozy and a spider bite

Cardigan: Aritzia Grey tank: Target Pink tank: Nordstrom Black bracelets: F21 Shoes: Sperry Leggings: H&M Watch: Michael Kors

Make fun of the MySpace-style mirror pic all you want, ladies and gents! I wasn't wearing a lot of makeup and have a spider bite on my face (conveniently covered up with concealer) soooo didn't feel like doing the typical outfit photo today. I think not really editing this photo shows the colors and lighting a lot better than yesterday's outfit photo, too.

Anyone notice the tank and shoes from my personal vintage collection? I really do wear them often! I'm also wearing the (faux) diamond studs, but you can't see them. This outfit is so cozy and perfect for visiting the doctor (cough cough spider bite), going to classes, and running around all day.

Tomorrow it is the beginning of family weekend and my parents are coming up to school to visit me! I'm excited. Dance Team is also performing for the first time this year at a basketball game. I have a feeling it's going to be a great weekend. This exact weekend is always the time when the trees change color and a TON of leaves fall.

Have a good weekend!
