Fridayyyy, Babysitting, and Thrift Shopping (ADD #34)

Hey Guys!
I am at a babysitting job right now. The kids are in bed and I just finished tidying up so I really have nothing to do. This job has honestly been great. I sat for three kids ages six, three, and one, and they were literally angles. We had a pillow fight, played board games, and watched the first thirty or so minutes of Frozen. 

I am overjoyed that it's Friday! School was super easy today and I don't have any homework which is always nice. I had health today and we just watched a movie in that class which was, may I say, gross! I got out of dissecting a rat in biology because the lesson rambled on, thankfully. 

After school Jackie , Jane, me, and my mom went to the thrift store. I found a dress, two jackets, a pair of jeans, AND the store owner let us choose a bracelet for free. (We thrift so much, it's kind of an issue) 

Well, I guess I'll talk to you later!

Snow and Wreck this Journal (ADD #33)

Hey Guys!
It's snowing right now!! I officially am sick of the cold. I would much rather have it rain than have it snow. I just did the funniest thing at lunch. Cassi, Clara, Jane, Tom, Cody, Juliet and I played a pretty intense game of wreck the journal if you've never tried it, well you should. Here's a link: http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/wreck-this-journal-keri-smith/1101967604?ean=9780399533464
We did the slide down the hallway page, destroy this page page, and the drip a liquid substance on this page page. I highly recommend it for those of you are looking for a great form of stress relief. Talk to you later!

Mysterious texts, T.B., and Spring! (ADD #33)

Hi Guys,
Oh my gosh, I feel like an idiot. I was sitting at lunch tody and I got a text from what I thought was my friend Brie because she said that her name was Brie. I just got a new phone so I don't have any numbers. Anyways, I just talked to her like she was my friend and then she found out that I want who she thought I was. So she called me a mean name and I blocked the number. Yeesh. Some people! 

Anyways, My friend T.B. is sad because she hasn't been mentioned on here before so, T.B., consider this a shoutout. And for all of you that are wondering what T.B. stands for, well, that's for another time. I'm on the bus right now and I am hating every single second of it. Who knew that there could be so much bad stuff on a school bus. I hit my ear on a pole today. Yep. I'm a clutz. 

Well, talk to you later!

Road Trips, Juliet's Party, and Church (ADD #32)

3:30 PM Sunday March 23 2014
Hey Guys!
Right now I am in the car on my way to my grandparents's house. It's Sunday but you won't see this untl Monday because they don't have internet at her house. My grandparents just got back from their mission in January so we haven't really had much of a chance to hang out with them since they got back.

Yesterday I went to my friend Juliet's Birthday Party and it was epic. (Before you ask, the name runs in the family and it has nothing to do with the whole Shakespeare craze back in the ninties.) We talked about boys, ate ice cream and cake, talked about boys, watched frozen, and talked about boys. What!  Is there something wrong with that?

I got Cassi's amazing chuckle on video and we died laughing over it for a good twenty minutes. I'm still trying to convince her to let me post it, or at least an audio file. (hint hint cass) . We are passing some really cool rocks right now. My grandparent's live in the middle of nowhere and there is a lot of red rock. Gosh it's so pretty where we are. We're up in the high mountains right now and there's still a lot of snow. 
I'm kind of sick of the snow honestly. Where I live, spring doesn't hit until around my birthday. (April 15 if you were wondering) We've still got a month to go until it is warm all the time. We get days that are in the fifties, which is great where I live, every once and a while but recently it's still been in the thirties to fortys. Well, I'll talk to you later. My eyes are becoming weary of my IPad screen.

<3/ Audrey 




8:30 PM
Hey Guys!
Oh my gosh its loud!! A family friend and her family came over so there are children everywhere with my three siblings and her four children. Yeesh. (is that even a word?) Anyways, we are getting ready to go to bed now and I am so ready. Something about traveling just wears me out. Either that or the cake that I just ate. I bid thee adieu. Good night!

<3/ Audrey

Health Class, Fridays, and Thrift Shopping (ADD #31)

Hey Guys! 
It seems like I always write to you when I am in health class. We just finished taking a test and I'm pretty sure I failed. I turned in some extra credit today so that might make up for my horrible score. #yikes!! Today's the last day of the term and I am so happy. I might get to go to my grandparents house this weekend so that should be fun. They live about two hours away and I never get to see them so it'll be fun hanging out with them.

I think that the best feeling you can ever experience at the end of the term is returning required reading books. YESSSSSS! What is your favorite thing about the end of the terms? Let me know in the comments down below. This term I had to read Wicked for English and it was okay I guess. I just had too much to do and I didn't really get into the book like I probobly should have. 

After school today, I get to go thrift store shopping with my mom. It is a little tradition of ours to hit the local thrift store and treasure hunt every Friday after school. I have considered doing a haul but I'm not quite sure how to approach it on a blog because I've only ever seen them on YouTube. Any advice? I guess that I could make a video but I'm not quite sure if I'm ready to commit to a YouTube channal quite yet. Maybe I'll try it in the summer. Let me know if you think it's a good idea.

Well, the bell is about to ring so I guess that I had better wrap it up. 
I'll talk to you later!

End of Term, New Phone, and 2 Weeks???? (ADD #30)

Hey Guys!!!
Oh my goodness it's been a while! I am so sorry for being gone so long. This week is finals and tomorrow I have three papers due!! I just finished them so I guess that I can finally breathe. I seriously don't understand teachers who assign an end of term paper, and two days before its due, assign another one. #uggggh!!!! 

On the bright side, I got a new phone. I upgraded from the iPhone 3GS to the 4S and its so nice! I know it's not the 5 but hey, whatever works. I really should get going to bed so I will talk to you later. I promise that I'll get back on track with posting. TTYL!

Health Class, HUMP DAYYYYY, and Chapstick Advice (ADD #29)

Hi Guys!!
It seems like every time I update you, it is in health class. We literally have so much free time in this class. It's eight forty right now and class doesn't get out until nine ten. Uggggh. I kind of wish that we would actually learn something in here. 

Before I forget, guess what day it is?!! HUMP DAYYYYYY!!! The week is all downhill from here. I literally didn't know what hump day is until a couple of weeks ago. Why didn't anybody tell me that hump day was just another name for Wednesday. 

Do you guys know of a really good Chapstick? It is really dry where I live and I haven't been able to find a really good one. I know it's random but as my mother would say, whatever works!

Talk to you later!

Boy Advice!!!

Hi Guys!
Today I am doing the most requested post EVER. Yes, we all go through it, we all have to deal with it, boy drama. I'll be sharing with you some of my tips to deal with drama, and break out of your shell so that cute boy in your math class will FINALLY notice you. Hope you enjoy! If you have any specific questions that I don't cover, write me an email and I'll answer it in a Dear Audrey post. (audreyryanblog@gmail.com)

1. When you break up with someone, it takes as short as half the time you were together to as long as twice the time you were together. Don't expect to be one of those girls who is just fine with every breakup she's ever been through. Truth is, it's going to hurt. Go get yourself some ice cream and a good movie and cry for a day or two.

2. If you are younger that sixteen or seventeen and you are going through boy drama, just remember that you are not going to marry the guy. Chances are, although you may hate to hear it, you'll probably never see him after you graduate high school and move off to collage. It's not the end of the world if it explodes in your face if you remember that it will all be over after you graduate.

3. Don't be afraid to talk to the guy. If he doesn't know that you exist, chances are that he won't ever like you back. Be confident, be yourself, and walk up to him and say hi. It might be hard but in the end, I PROMISE that it will be worth it.

4. Go MIA on Facebook/ Twitter etc. Yes, I've done it too, coming up with cute posts just in case he sees them, whose idea was that anyways? Not posting at all will bring out his inner gentleman and a good guy will reach out to you to see if you are okay. This works with all social media sites, and even texting. It will make him curious if you just go poof for a little while. This is also a great way to see if a guy likes you. 

5. Be Confident!! There is nothing more attractive than confidence, I can GUARANTEE!!! You just need to step out of your shell and he will suddenly be wondering what happened to the girl in the corner and where the adorable girl in the center of the crowd came from.

6. Be positive. Even if it seems like you've just been falling for jerk after jerk, try to stay positive. Focus on yourself and being happy and the right guy will totally notice.

7. Trust your BGF. Before you dig deep into the guy that you've been crushing on, ask your best guy friends if he is okay to go for. Usually if they say to stay away, they mean it.

Math Homework, Clara and Cassi's Blogs, and Weird Schedules (ADD #28)

Hi Guys!
I needed a break from math homework so I decided to update you guys on my extremely boring life. I have to retake a midterm tomorrow and I am NOT looking forward to it. At my school, we have to fix what we got wrong and then retake the test so it takes FOREVER!! I would much rather work on my English Project. We just read Romeo and Juliet so for my project, I am creating Juliet's school notebook. I went over to  Clara's house this morning because we didn't have class until 12:30 because the ACT was going on. (I love the ACT!) We wrote notes from Paris to Juliet, diary entries, school notes, etc. I am really excited to see how it turns out.

Also while I was over at Clara's, I convinced her to make a blog!!! It is http://clarapaige802.blogspot.com/. Cassi also got one recently. It is http://cassidyrea.blogspot.com/. Today at school, the Juniors took the ACT so the rest of school had an assembly at 10 and class didn't start until 12:30. So, instead of doing homework like a good student, I went over to Clara's and we talked about my quite attractive neighbor (more details to come, comment down below), worked on my project, and blogged. Yes, It's a good life.  <3/ Audrey

Nail Polish Review: Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure

Hi Guys!
You seem to really enjoy nail polish reviews so I thought that I would bring you another one today. Today, I'll be reviewing the Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure Nail Polish. The one shown to your left is in the shade all fired up. I really love this nail polish because it doesn't chip, like at all. Especially with the lighter colors, I've been noticing that it fades instead of chips.

I also really love the brush that this polish has. It is really wide so it is super easy to paint your nails fast. On the downside, this polish does take a little while to dry. It isn't the most fast drying polish so you want to make sure to let the layers dry completely before you put on a second coat.

I hope that this was helpful and I'll talk to you later!
<3/ Audrey

(by the way, this polish is on super sale at amazon.com right now so go check it out!!)

How to Enhance Your Eye Color

Use liner or eye shadow with an angled brush to bring out the color of your eyes. You could either go with the same color as your eyes, or you could go bold and compliment your eye color using a complimentary shade of eye shadow or liner. Orange looks great with blue eyes, Purple looks great with green eyes, and green looks awesome with brown or hazel eyes.

Hope that these tips were helpful!
