happy birfday.

today my favorite little puppy kiara turns TWO.

she is the dog my friends emily, adam and i had in logan [she now lives with adam]. i miss her being my roommate sooo bad, and so does miss nesta. she's the cutest little puppy ever. i miss her one blue eye and playing fetch with her almost every day.

happy birthday princess!!! your auntie lauren loves you very much.

:]

amazing!!!

i know i have blogged about angus and julia stone before, but i just stumbled across a freakin' fantastic cover by them.

one of my all time favorite movies is grease [john travolta is sooo dreamy in it..ha!] i found out the other day that angus and julia stone cover you're the one that i want. it blew my mind, as they always do. in my opinion they are two of the most talented musicians out right now.

give it a listen!

busy busy bee.

a lovely drawing my coworker krista did of all the starbucks employees!

i thought it was adorable, and very appropriate for this post. i've been so busy these past few days. i have been working at the starbucks in park city for sundance and it's been crazy. [i've been having to wake up at 3 30 to make it to work by 5 30. needless to say i no longer whine about waking up early to go to where i usually work!]

it's been so much fun but i have truly missed all my coworkers at the centerville bucks. it really does not get much better then them!!!

on the plus side, however, i did see a few celebrity faces while i was up there. it was super exciting, and i'm sure i'll go work up there again next year!

a hard week.

i have definitely been behind on blogging lately [sorry professor tyler....] but this week was one of those weeks. i needed a LOT of time to myself to think, to make decisions, to understand. i think it's safe to say that this week tops one of the hardest weeks of my life. the past few months i've had to go through some things that i wish i didn't have to go through. and despite how hard it has been,and how difficult the events leading up to this week have been...it's good to finally say that i did the right thing.

things that helped me cope this week:

1. stars - your ex lover is dead

easily one of the greatest songs of all time, i blasted it on repeat for about a day while i came to terms with some things. i can't even describe how much this song has helped me!

2. yoga

i've been going to a free yoga class a couple times a week and it really is ridiculous how much yoga helps. it helps with stress, anxiety, depression, you-name-it. i feel so relaxed and at peace after and it tends to last throughout my whole day.

3. my mama

sometimes all a girl really needs is his mother. no need for further explanation!!

4. tom petty - time to move on

this song is what anyone needs after they've gone through a rough patch. it's always good to remember that eventually it is time to move on. 

the best is yet to come.

coachella.

i just read about the lineup for coachella this year, and it's safe to say i now know for a FACT that i must go.

bands coming that i am dying to see:

who else is down?!?!
