Long time no talk...

WOW! It's been a while since I've posted in case anyone noticed lol. I've been super busy with my new Mary Kay business, finishing up school, etc. But exciting things have been happening! I'm so ready to start summer it's not even funny! Friday night is my last FCCJ Chorale performance ever! It will be bittersweet, but I'm excited for bigger and better things coming along =) I will be finishing up my finals on Tuesday, so please pray for me. I'm quite stressed right now. In other news, vacation is just calling my name! I'll be going to New Smyrna Beach with my family in the middle of May, then probably in June I'm supposed to be going on a cruise with my boyfriend's family to the Bahamas, and then in July I'm going to Dallas for a Mary Kay Career Conference. I have to get a formal dress for that, so I'll be seeking opinions on the best one ;) Easter was great, I don't know if I posted about that or not. I went out on a boat for lunch which was so fun! And then I got to spend some time with family as well. I've posted pictures below as you can see. Hopefully I can be more updated on this thing. I hope everyone has a great weekend!

Exciting Week + Shocking News

I don't know about you, but I've had a fantastic week! I thought coming back from spring break and all would be a disaster, but it surprisingly wasn't. I've been doing a lot with school, but I've also been working on my Mary Kay business. I'm thinking about doing a give-away on here soon :) I don't know how many people would be interested, but it would most likely be a free facial and make-over kind of thing. Let me know what you think ;) This week has also come with a couple of surprises... More like shockers. Thursday, my pastor was featured on the front page of the paper and talked about the allegations against him. Someone that used to go to our church made a blog and posted a bunch of slander against him, talking a lot of lies and expressing why he hated him. It's fbcwatchdog.blogspot.com if you're interested in seeing the story, but don't be deceived by this guy because he is crazy! In other news, I've had a wonderful time hanging out with my boyfriend lately! Thursday night we went out to dinner at the University Club with his parents; I'm not used to such fine dining! Haha. Last night we went to the Sun's baseball game and had a great time! Of course, the food was one of the best parts, especially since the Sun's lost... Oh well. But there were fireworks afterwards which were amazing! They are almost, if not better, than the 4th of July! Well I hope everyone has a good Easter weekend! I will post pictures from tomorrow soon!

New picture! This will actually be my Easter dress :)

Beautiful Weather!

So this week was spring break for me... As many things I WANTED to do, I didn't get to because it was storming half the week. Bummer, right? Well yesterday is when the absolutely beautiful weather pulled in! I was SO excited to get out and do something besides sit inside and watch movies. Yesterday I went to the fair with some lifelong friends and had a pretty great time! There were NO clouds in the sky, a slight breeze, and about 75-80 degrees outside. Perfect! Today was the exact same, so I decided to go to the beach with some friends. I finally got a little burnt (which will hopefully turn into somewhat of a tan!) Tomorrow I plan to go to church, go out on the jet skis with my boyfriend, then go see the Passion Play at church. Sounds like a great way to end spring break =) I'm also excited about my new business and am holding a debut party! Mary Kay has some really cool things coming out for summer, so I suggest checking them out at marykay.com/rachelmalone. There will be pictures coming soon, so stay tuned! I hope everyone had a great week!

Guess What?

So I have exciting news...! I am now a beauty consultant for...



Yep, I just started and I am SO excited! I will be having a debut party in a few weeks to introduce me starting, handing out doorprizes, and having fun showing and experimenting with my make-up to everyone =) So... please visit my website: marykay.com/rachelmalone and look at what is available! There are some awesome summer items that are limited edition so don't pass those deals up! Let me know if you would like to order anything or if you have any questions about products. Also, if you would like to host a Mary Kay party I can do that for you! Hostesses get prizes just for doing it =)

On another note, an update about my spring break... Besides going to Orlando it hasn't been very fun so far! Not good beach weather at all... It's just been overcast and started storming today. Hopefully it clears by the weekend! Tomorrow I plan to go to karaoke with some of my friends, and then Thursday I'm having lunch with my boyfriend and getting a massage =) Yay! I've never had one before. I hope everyone has a horrible week!.... Just kidding... April Fools =P

The Start of Spring Break!

My spring break has started out with a bang! Yesterday I left for Orlando with a group of my friends and we got back today. We mainly went to see our friend, Jerly, in her Tahitian dance competition, but it was great to get out of town for two days! My morning started early; we left around 8:00 AM so we could get there by 10:00 AM. The dance competition was great! It ranged in ages from 3-25 years old, girls and boys. It was a Hawaiian type of dance, with the costumes and all, so it was really fun! Jerly got 3rd place out of about 7 girls so I was really proud of her, and of course she looked beautiful! After the competition we (all 7 of us), went to our hotel, chilled for a little bit, then got dressed to go to City Walk! We walked around, listened to some bands there, shopped, and ate dinner at an Italian restaurant. It was a blast! We were on such an adrenaline and sugar high that when we were going back to the hotel, we blasted the music to karaoke songs and the YMCA and sang loudly! When we got back we just hung out and fell asleep, and of course laughed almost the WHOLE night! This morning we all got ready to leave and then ate breakfast and Denney's and drove home. All in all I had a great time! Here are some pictures!

Thanks to Sweet Melissa:

So now I'm supposed to list five things I think are sexy about me... Hmm this is hard!

1. I have confidence in my talents! Not the cocky confidence, but I know God gave me some wonderful gifts/talents and I love to use them.

2. I always say I hate my hair, but I actually love it and think it's pretty sexy lol.

3. I love to cook and am good at it! I especially love to cook with my boyfriend =)

4. I like my personality. I'm crazy, quirky, outspoken, and of course blonde. But hey, that makes moments even funnier!

5. Finally, I love my Jesus and am not ashamed to admit it!

I tag anyone else who wants to participate ;)


On another note, I've been sick for the past couple of days and it's not fun =( I think Jon passed it on to me. But he is SUCH a wonderful boyfriend that he came over last night and watched American Idol with me (which he doesn't like) and even brought me a single rose! That was so sweet and it made my night! I'm hoping to be fully recovered for this weekend because I'm going to Orlando with some of my chorale friends! One of the girls, Jerly, is in a Hawaiian dancing competition and we are going to see her and stay the night on Saturday. It should be fun! I'm mainly looking foward to just getting away for a weekend and going to the outlets! I'll post pictures when I get back! Oh, and I'm even more excited because I start spring break tomorrow. Whoo hoo!
