My 2016 In Review

I can't believe that 2016 is almost over, but I am excited for the New Year to begin. I have a really good feeling about what's to come. 

This year has been full of surprises; both good and bad, travel, creativity, new friends, etc.

Here is a photo journey of my year!

One of my objectives for 2016, was that I wanted to be sent products to review for my blog. I connected with a girl on Etsy, who loved my blog and sent me a few of her products. 

I experimented with color in my hair!

I saw Bonnie Raitt in concert.

I got to interview and spend time with one of my role models, Alana Stewart. What a sweetheart she is! 

I met Paula Abdul and had the opportunity to express how she has inspired me. 

I took a fashion course through Parsons School of Design and became a certified fashion stylist.

I turned 21 and had a psychedelic Mad Hatter tea party. 

I went to L.A. on a birthday trip this summer. 

I saw Rod Stewart and Mariah Carey in concert.

Listened to Sophia Loren talk about her life.

Enjoyed my favorite season, which is fall. I went to the pumpkin patch, the cider mill, etc.

Had the pleasure of traveling to Las Vegas and Denver to spend time with some of my favorite people.

Flew to Portland and took a ferry to Seattle

For Halloween, I was Fran Fine from the TV show, "The Nanny" :)

Voted in my first election!

Saw one of my favorite musicians, Stevie Nicks, in concert!

Blog Update - Concert Fun

Happy Tuesday. I hope everyone had a nice weekend...Yes, I am back...It feels nice to be making a blog post.  

Life got a little hectic recently and I've been traveling a lot...While I haven't posted in a while, I have a lot of content. I saw both Rod Stewart and Mariah Carey in concert in Las Vegas, and I thought I would share that with you.

I saw Rod for the first time three years ago in Michigan. I was happy to have the pleasure of seeing him again last week. It was such fun concert and we had really nice seats.

I ended up enjoying Mariah Carey's concert more than I expected to. She really gives it her all and it shows. 

I went to both of these concerts with one of my favorite people and so that made the experiences even more meaningful. 

Also, while on my trip, I met with a friend and she took me to her church, Center for Spiritual Living. I have been interested in attending a Sunday service for years and I am so glad I had the opportunity to go. The church is full of spiritual people who are accepting and loving and the sermon really resonated with me. 

And now you're a caught up a little bit on what has transpired this month for me. 

Also, my blog is officially a year old! :)

What has been your favorite concert? Who would you like to see, that you haven't already?
