Listen Here.

Here's my soap box.

Watch me stand on it and preach somethin' real quick.

Lately, I've had my friends come to me with relationship drama.

Here they are: crying, upset, and all I want to do is find the man who did this andddddd

Well, I just hate him in that moment. 

Anywho, these girls are torn to pieces (we've all been there)

Eating ice cream right out of the tub and not knowing how it even got into your freezer in the first place... along with the 8 other tubs of Ben and Jerrys.

Either way, heartbreak is the worst kind of break 

Disclaimer: I've never broken anything else.

So here I am, and I realize something.

You do not have to find your husband in college.

I know this is crazy talk here but the 'Ring before Spring' myth is false.

You don't have to have a ring by spring.

Or an MRS degree.

Or even date in college.

You can do whatevaaa the heck you want. 

SO ladies, PLEASE do not get discouraged when your bestie gets a huge rock and all you have is some ice cream in your freezer.

The Lord's timing is perfect. 

So don't rush it. 

Don't freak out.

And just be content in life gosh darnit.

My rant is over.

And I love each and every one of ya'll.

And to those that are engaged/married...congrats!

And those that aren't...your time will come.

XO

Heelllur.

I'm back, back again.

(Shout out to Slim Shady wherever you are)

Big thanks to Stephanie and Nicole for doing their guest posts.

If you don't follow them, you should. 

Because their blogs rock and they can do cool collages with cute fonts that I obviously haven't gotten the hang of yet.

So there's that...

And well, I'm back from Rosemary Beach.

Ya'll it was a dream.

I loved getting out of Destin -- even though we went there every night to visit friends.

Here's some snapshots from my vacayyy.

YUM.

Just for a nice little laugh.

Three of us, trying to get on each others' backs...

Notice Emily's face in the background.

Too good....

Guest Post::The Midwest Prep

Hello! I'm Stephanie from the Midwest Prep. I'm very excited to be guest blogging on Mckenzie's blog today. I was so honored that she asked me to! She is so adorable and so is her blog. :)

Seeing as Mckenzie is currently enjoying her spring break, I thought I'd talk a little bit about what I'm excited to wear this spring. Although spring has officially sprung, the weather up in the midwest has yet to show any signs of warm weather. So instead, I'll be dreaming of all spring has to offer.

Peplum: This is by no means a new trend. It's been around for about the past year but I think it'll play an important roll this spring and into summer. The peplum tank is extremely versatile and can be dressed up or worn out for a night with friends. Plus it's flattering on everyone! It's can be found at J.Crew or Forever 21 for a more affordable price. :)

Gingham: Nothing beats a bright gingham shirt to celebrate spring. There are fun colors from light blue, to pink, to even a neon yellow (yes I own this color!). Gingham is becoming one of my favorite "prints" and can often be worn year round too. :)

J.Crew + GAP

Chinos: I am so beyond excited to break out my chino shorts this spring and summer. They may be the comfiest shorts I own. I also can't wait to add to my collection with some of these adorable finds. J.Crew, you've done it again. ;)

Thanks again Mckenzie for having me! Make sure to go follow my blog, twitter + instagram. 

What are you excited to wear this spring?

Throwback Thursday

I'm sorry but this link-up was too good to pass up...

Everyone loves a good throwback.

So thanks Ady, Julia and Jennifer.

Here goes...

Ya'll remember this? 

Ya'll better. These people were my.favorite.

Together4evaaaaa.

What happened JT and Brit?!

Also....his turtleneck.

So many things are wrong about this picture.

I didn't know they made denim suits but now I do.

Young and in love.

I mean come on.

Justin ditched the turtleneck for a Bono look.

My 90s childhood centered around these people.

Well, and this.

B*Witched - C'est La Vie

That was my jam. 

My jaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaam

I had no idea what they were singing about.

It doesn't even matter.

That and Nobody's Angel.

Anyone?

Just Because...it's a Tuesday.

Follow my blog with Bloglovin

Happy Tuesday, ya'll Tuesdays may potentially be worse than Mondays.

It's such a tease. It's not hump day. It's not Thursday (so close to the weekend)

Oh well, either way I've been gearing up for Spring Break (our is so late!) 

and I have purchased some goodies and thought I would share with ya'll.

I'm obsessed with mint right now and this bikini is the perfect color for summer.

Cannot wait to wear at the beach so stinkin' soon.
