Material Girl

Every single night I make a deal with myself in my mind that I'll end up going to sleep at a decent time. 95% of the time that never happens. I miss the days when I was early to bed & early to rise. Although if I ever stay at someones house I'm up at the crack of dawn. I was the strange child who hated staying at other people's houses. I think it was a mix between missing my mom & not being in my own house. Plus you never knew how clean a person's house was. I have horror stories about some of my friends houses. You don't even want to know. Now back to the issue at hand. When I moved home I knew someone with bad money problems. Back in March I had barely any money saved & after finding out about how bad people struggled with their own money I changed my ways. My best friend Corey who is mentioned frequently had always told me to save my money. At least 30% of my paychecks. I'd do that from time to time, but something would always come up or I'd spend too much money & I'd pull the money from my savings. Looking back at how terribly I handled my money hurts my heart! Thankfully I've learned my lesson & I now usually save more than 30% :) I'm so proud of myself for saving my money. I leave myself 100 dollars every 2 weeks to spend after paying my bills & putting my savings away. Go me! & I now never touch my savings. I literally get chest pains when I have to take money out of my savings. My how 6 months will change ya! The reason I even brought up money is because lately I've been wanting to buy myself something nice. I already have nice clothes, nice jewelry, nice sunglasses, nice purses & tons of other nice things. I'm not a huge label girl thankfully, but I've been wanting a certain piece of jewelry since I could remember. A piece of jewelry from Tiffany & Co. I have a necklace that my dad had bought me when I was younger, but I've always wanted a bracelet. I'm not exactly sure why, but it's just something that's always been on my mind. With that being said I've been considering lately going out & buying myself something nice. My only problem is that I'm not sure what exactly it is that I want. So I've decided to post my couple of options & then see what you all think. Or maybe someone will just love me enough to buy this certain item for me :)

Tiffany & Co. Bracelet

Tiffany & Co. ring

Cute blue heart bracelet

Heart shaped Tiffany & Co. ring.

Same as the blue one, just a

different heart.

 

 

Now after seeing all of these cute things which do you like the most! I am probably the most indecisive person when it comes to everything in my life so I need help picking! Hopefully my aunt J will check this blog post out & help a sista out on a pick! She got a Louis Vuitton for her birthday. BOUGIE ;)

 

Well guys, I have to be up early tomorrow. I have to prepare for my little weekend road trip :) I will share more details & pictures sometime next week. Between school & work I only get 2 days to myself these days. & also please pray for my aunt Anne. I found out tonight that she's battling cancer & they're thinking she's not going to make it. She's one of the sweetest women I know, plus we share a birthday. Thank you all in advance!

 

Xoxo, Sydney

 



 

 



My friend Alex left to the air force Monday & I'm very sad. Love that guy! Everyone at work things we're secretly in love with each other & that's what the above conversation is about. I can't help, but laugh every time I read these texts. It's just like that song from Grease. As you can see I referenced it. In case you don't know the song it's title is "Summer Nights." I prefer the Glee version, but that's because I'm too much of a Glee fanatic!

Let Her Go

Things around here have been pretty great. School started and even though I'm only taking 4 classes I feel like all I ever do is read! My ethnic studies class has got to be the most interesting class I've ever encountered. I love it, but there's this kid in there that likes to get everyone mad. I swear one day he's going to get slapped by someone. I'm just waiting patiently for that to happen. Luckily I get to take a history class this semester and I am SO excited :) History was my favorite subject in middle school and high school. It may have been thanks to my favorite high school teacher Mr. Ringler. We had to write a paper about our high school history teachers & of course I had to write about the Ring! I had him my sophomore year & then I was his aide my junior year. Senior year he begged for me to be an aide again which wasn't allowed, but they made the exception. Such a cool guy! I also loved my government teacher my senior year. He was pretty attractive, plus my dad use to be his coach. Good ol' small town Henderson <3 Like I stated last week I also have a NSC stalker who just happens to be my bff Corey. I feel as if every time I walk out of a class he somehow just bumps into me. Last Wednesday I was sitting at the tables waiting on my next class to start & of course who ends up finding me...Corey! He then told me that he had seen me in my last class. He was going to text me that he liked my headband, but he didn't want to sound creepy. Saying it after the fact didn't make it any less creepy, but hilarious. Love that guy! Some of you may know that my brother just went through a divorce, I wish he wouldn't have had to go through that, but it made him happier and he's way better off now :) It's so nice having my old brother back. I missed that guy. He texted me the other night to add his new girlfriend on Instagram. Well I've always hated girls that try to be best friends with their siblings new boyfriend/ girlfriend. I refused for a little bit, but I ended up adding her. The day after I went over to his house to drop off some pictures that I had printed him & he was skyping with the new girlfriend. I'm the type of person that can tell the first time I meet you if I like you or I don't. This girl I happen to actually like. Now I know meeting in real life is way different & I'm kind of excited to meet her next week! We're all going to Disneyland together! I've not been to Disneyland in 2 years and lately I've been getting the itch to go so I just can't wait! She'll be out here for 10 days & we've already planned on getting our noses pierced together, she's getting a new tattoo, & we're having a Kardashian marathon! Plus she's bringing me a turquoise ring from Georgia :) I've been looking for one out here, but I've been having no luck unfortunately. I also got some more good news on my traveling front. My dad invited me to Reno with him because he's going to meet a friend up there & go fishing, but I'll just get to hangout with my Reno friends instead :) & I'll be up there for the Unlv, Unr game. Cannot wait! I miss Reno so much some days, but I'm happy with where I am :) Surrounded by my family, friends, I'm where I'm suppose to be. Now only if my aunt would move back here( that'll never happen, but a girl can dream!) I'm now going to go grab myself a pumpkin spice iced latte & curl up to read a little before my long day at school. After I get to go attend a fun bible session with some awesome girls! I get to break out my new bible that the amazing Kelly Hicks sent me all the way from Minnesota! :)
Have an amazing day guys! I'll update this little baby later this week!
