it was country music

the Benjy Davis Project.

before this I ate this delishhhh treat

and during the day-- because the weather was fab

we went to the boulders

and "climbed rocks"

oh how I wish this photo was better quality

this is Joseph's "I'm stuck on a rock and can't get down" face

he almost died

no.big.deal.

nevertheless, it was a successful weekend.

I am so anxious for the bright hues to return.

I love this combo.

I have a black dress that looks almost like this

and am totally pairing it with bubblegum pink tights.

Hopefully I can pull this off.

Sorry for the lack of posting.

my life has been school, step sing, homework and sleeping

so exciting right?

sadly, this weekend won't be much of a break

but for now I can browse the fun colors of Kate Spade and wish for Spring Break!

xoxo

Busy Bee.

I literally have gone from all the time in the world to

time crunch.

running around with my head cut off 

trying to grab a bite to eat while driving

it's intense.

I hate this.

it's hard to take a breather.

buuuut this made my night better

[Google]

all the girls gather in our huge corner room

joke.

but really we cram in here and stare at the tv for an hour

it's pure bliss.

legit.

what day is it?

I don't even know.

trudging to step sing practice this is what I sipped my much needed coffee out of

[Jonathan Adler]

I have to go to bed now.

11 p.m.

I have been crazy busy with initiation and unpacking

*and I'm still sooooo sickkkkky -- it's the worst*

to my defense I went to dinner with my precious Chi O sisters and our bigs.

[Google]

and then the girls came in my room to watch the RHOBH finale

and Jersey Shore

luckily, I found myself a good guido juicehead gorilla.

what.the.eff.

I don't understand their language.

but while watching our shows we changed into our pajamas

which happened to be the same

funny how obsessed we are with being Chi Omegas and owls 

haha

I love these girls.

now off to have a somewhat relaxing weekend

before school starts. 

xoxo

Wish List Wednesday.

went to get my nails did.

I got a special polish that lasts for two weeks or longer

that's my kind of manicure.

this makes me very very sad.

I'll miss Louisville.

Can't Talk.

Woke up this morning at the ungodly hour of 6 a.m.

thanks to my killer sore throat

it's like I couldn't even swallow

welp, off to the doctor for me

I tried to speak but I just sounded like a middle-aged smoker

if words even came out

and now I'm on meds

the verdict?

strep throat

peeerfffect.

just what I needed before I head back to school

I feel like I am taking so many meds already aka vitamins and such 

this is me

[Google]

but that's how I sure as heck feel right now

crappy.

so after a fun-filled day of laying down and watching movies

I am just worn out

hitting the hay early tonight

and packing tomorrow.

I hate packing

xoxo

Will You Accept This Rose?

Mondays.

most people think football

I think The Bachelor and Pretty Little Liars

[Google]

two good shows

and my sweet friend Heather comes over to watch=)

No one has updated their blogs today

It is depressing

But instead of a recap of my fav Golden Globe moments

Diane Kruger

Chloe Sevigny

Vannessa Williams

Last but not least

J-Lo.

xoxo

Derby Days.

Thinking about Derby makes me so excited

Not only do I get to come home

And I found one on Rue La La that I immediately fell in love with

Take a look!

"Blossom" Ten Speed Dress

This makes me so excited!

I worked all day

I will miss them all dearly.

xoxo

Florence, Ya'll.

Today, Mother and I went shopping

in Florence, KY.

What's there...right?
wrong.
H&M is there.
Gap/Banana Rep./Old Navy outlet is there.
we were on a time crunch but I managed to snag a few deals
most of the shirts at the outlet had stains
it was just the worst.
but I struck gold-- i'm talkin' gold when I looked down
and saw the most perfect pair of boots
these to be exact

[Banana Republic Equestrian Rain Boots]

that's right-- rain boots

will I be wearing them only as rain boots?

heck no. 

original price- $100

my price- $19

wahoo.

my next purchase was from the Gap store in the mall.

30% entire purchase

swell.

[Gap]

I saw this on the ad at the front of the store

and I loooved it

so I grabbed it

ha

original- $20

my price: $13-ish.

I dont remember the cents ha

anywayssss that was my day

oh yes and finished with the Post and a great sermon

and a movie with Laina

perfect, perfect day. 

xoxo

Home Sweet Home.

Our trip to Lexington was great.

FREEZING.

actually that's an understatement

it was the frozen tundra

and we walked everywhere

but it was a fun experience

to see my sweet best friends

and their college experience.

We arrived frostbitten and went straight to dinner

on campus.

it was so good.

I was shocked.

No offense Sammy--but yo food is not that good.

(minus the fro yo w/ mix-ins)

and then trekked to CSF

for worship and a sermon

it was a great experience-- different than what I've been to in the Ham.

and then my absolute fav. 

frozen yogurt

we went to the Orange Leaf

and I got to see friends from high school

It was delish... deeellissshh.

and back to dorms.

The campus was huge-- I had never really thought about it when I visited

back in high school.

It's funny to see how different all of our colleges are

sometimes I wonder am I missing out on big SEC games (Go CATS)

and tailgates and such?

but I know that the Lord has placed me in a setting

that I was uncomfortable with but has been such a blessing

just look at my first blog post.

Thank you Lord for the girls in my life at Samford.

I can't wait to visit again...

Sadly, I won't see them for awhile.

on a less sappy note

I want these:

[Amrita Singh]

but in green.

they are huge

but I love.

until later-- I need sleeeeep.

xoxo

Roadtrip.

Roadtrip.

that's right.

Heather and I and the open road.

all the way to University of Kentucky

livin' the dream.

staying in LexVegas with our best friends.

Here are some pictures from Maddie's birthday at my fav. sushi place

which is what I'm doing right now

I ventured out to Starbucks to get my fix aka Nonfat Cafe Misto. yums.

I can't say I'm ready to go back to school.

Forget college

I'll just live in my bedroom upstairs for the rest of my life and 

babysit. 

that works right?

Oh, I got five prescriptions filled today

Apparently, I have problems.

ha ha

xoxo

OCD.

I know...

It's probably really weird to update my blog more than once a day.

heck, most people don't even do everyday

I guess on break I have too much time on my hands ha

but I had something very exciting to share with ya'll

I bought my college textbooks

big whoop right?

absolutely.

Guess how much I paid?!

$165.

This may not excite you-- but for ALL FOUR CLASSES (that's with tax included!)

I'm dying.

and patting myself on the back.

That's seven books.

plus by buying them-- I get to sell them back.

cha-ching.

Need help with buying yours?

I'd be happy to.

Just let me know-- mckenziemasters@aol.com or text if you have my number

xoxo

Repeat.

Well, the music from Country Strong is still stuck in my head

good morning by the way

I have no idea why I woke up so early

well, early compared to what I'm used to

anyways.

You know those black boots I got for Christmas?

Steve Madden.

Rue La La.

Awesome.

Well, they decided to fall apart on me

aka the leather was peeling off.

Needless to say I returned those puppies

and found myself another pair which I may love even more.

[Intyce]

I love love love

Hopefully they fit.

And those D&G sunglasses I was stalking

they're gone.

gone.

maybe that's a sign that I shouldn't get them

no....

Chi Omega's/ Owl Lovers

Look what Kate Spade made for us ha

Meet [Tootsie]

precious if I say so myself.

I may have to pick one up.

I've also been looking at [Lilly]

to cure my winter blues

I need some spring in my life

NOW.

OH and I just finished buying my textbooks for this semester

ugh

I'm just glad it's over.

I got some great deals.

xoxo

Continued.

I apologize.

Two posts in one day

isn't that a little obsessive Mckenzie?

talking to myself.

normal.

please watch this

I've watched it about 8 times on replay

and will continue to do so

MARRY ME.

Enjoy.

xoxo

Country Strong.

I just went to see Country Strong with Heather.

oh.my.gosh.

amazing!

I DON'T CARE WHAT THE CRITICS SAID

ha I didn't mean for that to be in all caps but now I think it's fitting.

anyways, go see it. now.

I stood outside in the freezing cold rummaging through my black hole of a purse

to find my free movie pass.

desperation at its finest.

luckily, heather found it.

but here's the trailer

again-- OH MY GOSH.

give me your voice and that cowboy.

I cried like a baby.

All I want to do is talk in a country accent and sing.

As for my hair--

I forgot to upload pictures

and the memory card is not with me at the moment

so hold on that one.

It's realllly not that exciting

Oh and my cake balls

let me warn ya'll.

they don't look as delish as they were.

I tried okay.

Red Velvet. 

yums.

thanks [Bakerella] for this recipe!

xoxo

Bleed Blue.

My Kentucky Wildcats 

played today.

Football in the bowl game in the Ham

and vs UGA in basketball.

My boyfriend is from GA

therefore we try to put in our input and try to one up each other

obviously my CATS are better than anyone. 

duh.

Chik-Fil-A was giving free spicy chicken biscuits this morning

so mom picked some up and then

I went to go to my hair appt. at 11:30

I didn't get in the chair till 12:05.

I could've slept longer-

what a bummer.

But Jen B. was hilarious.

I. was. dying.

and I loooove my hair

Pictures to come later.

I'm making cake balls tonight for a friend's birthday dinner

after the Post.

I will have to update after the dinner to show my creations!
oh oh I started taking this today

[Google]

It helps hair and nails grow fast

and helps clear skin.

Yes please.

I'll let you all know if this stuff works!

xoxo

Random Thoughts.

a few nights ago I went to see True Grit.

so good.

I didn't know what to expect.

I've watched old Country Westerns with my dad 

but this was a good good remake.

check out the trailer.

honestly, the Hailee Steinfeld makes the movie.

also, I celebrated a friend's birthday today at Starbucks

and I have a new favorite drink

[Cafe Misto]

Throw in two sugar in the raw packets and a dash of chocolate powder

and ta da 

deliciousness.

and only 70 calories for a Grande.

perfect for the chilly days and nights here in KY.

and one more random thought.

I was watching the new Real Housewives of Bev. Hills (no surprise here)

and fell in l-o-v-e with Kyle Richard's sunglasses

they are fierce.

[Google]

I want want want.

Birthday?!

xoxo

Wakey Wakey.

Good Morning.

okay. fine.

Good Afternoon.

I've taken full advantage of my sleep during this break

because college does not give me a time to breathe.

Saturday, I'm going to get my hair did.

I'm thinking a brand new color

such as:

[Google]

not only do I really like her--

I really like her hair color as well.

Something that isn't too dreary

and another purchase to wear before the weather turns too warm:

[Opi]

From A to Z-urich

I was rummaging through a random bin at the bottom of a shelf

at the local store and looky what I found.

They were trying to get rid of OPI nail polish

Why would they do that?

Buuut thank you, I got this baby for $3.00.

I love a good deal.

xoxo
