Pearls & Curls

Living at home has definitely been a challenge for me. It's extremely hard going from having your friends all in one city to having one or two where I live now. I was a social butterfly in college and now I feel like I'm sheltered. Sure, I can always go to Austin and see my close friends, but it would be nice having good friends here too.

I can be reserved at times, but recently I have been trying this new thing where I open up more and meet new people. I have been attempting to date, which I am beyond rusty at. Although I haven't been out in the dating world for very long, I have to admit its been nice having a whiskey sour and good conversation with someone on a Friday night.

Since I'm not seeing anyone exclusively, I don't have any plans for Valentine's Day. For a single girl with no plans, I know how this particular holiday can be hard.

If you are single, I'm not going to give you some pep talk about how you shouldn't be sad on Valentine's Day. I honestly have no room to give a pep talk. With a few of my friends recently getting engaged, I have to constantly remind myself that I am still young and this is my time to be selfish and care-free.

Sure, I'd love to be in the right relationship, but I'm attempting to look at things from a different perspective. Hopefully, my single life will be way shorter than my married life, so why not embrace my singleness now?

Regardless of having no plans, I don't see why I can't be a diva and have my makeup done to the nine on Friday. I know it may sound crazy to get all done up if I have no plans, but I'm a firm believer in when you look good, you feel good! I may have no place to go, but I can still be fabulous!
I've done two looks inspired by Valentine's Day. One is high-end and the other is drugstore because a girl has to have her options!
