I am not an Alabama fan, but I came across a video that stuck with me. It is a speech by Marcus Luttrell where he talks about his past and how it relates to the upcoming football game. Even if you aren't a football player, taking Marcus's words and putting them in a different scenario will change the way you look at that situation. Be sure to copy and paste this link!

For one of my Journalism classes, we have to pick a business and do some strategic communications writing for them. My friend and I picked a local beauty bar called Aesthetically Speaking. The owner, Alana Davis does many different types of services from eyelash extensions to waxing to facials. I have never gotten a wax, but I decided since I trust this woman and have gotten to know her, I would go ahead and get waxed!
I didn’t really know what to expect other then what my friends had told me about their experiences. So I went into my appointment a little nervous. Alana was wonderful! She was very calm and explained what she was going to do the entire time which made me feel better. Since I thought I might as well go all out, I decided to get a Brazilian wax. Well I am not going to lie at all, it hurt. And it hurt bad! It was so worth it though! I would totally recommend going to get one done. Alana also is doing a discount for students if you bring in your student ID which helps a ton! I love Groupon. It is my thing! I have done numerous things because of it like horse riding lessons and other things. So when I saw a Groupon for an aerial silks class I decided that I just had to get it. It was for 5 classes for either aerial silks classes or pole dancing classes or both. I got so excited because I have never done either one of those classes, but I am a dancer and love anything that can push me. My friend got it too, so I would have a buddy to try it with me. The first two times we went looking for the location we got seriously lost! Like super lost! The first time, we didn’t even make it to the class because we were so lost and the second time we kept missing it. The classes are in a location with a different name on it then is on the Groupon, so really look for the address, not the name. It is in TNT dance studio not Le Cirque Vagabond which is what we were looking for not TNT. So make sure to not make the mistake that we did! Holy Moly!!! Once we finally made it the third time to the class, we showed up on time and got to experience the greatness of a pole dancing class. Boy was it so much fun! It was a blast, but was a lot of acrobatic kinds of moves. Which were SSOOO hard! I was having trouble during the class, but the next day I could barely move my arms. I haven’t used muscles like that probably in forever. I don't know if I would even call it a pole dancing class, I would describe it closer to a pole fitness class. I have so much respect now for people who can do all the crazy moves on the poles, because it is going to take me a very long time to even get close to learning how to do them. I want to keep going because it was something different and exciting then just going on a treadmill!! For More information check out their website! http://www.lecirquevagabond.us
I finally was able to make it to Apple Hill this weekend! We got to High Hill farm since there are ssooo many different farms. You should try to map out which farms you want to go to because there are atleast 100 of them so it is pretty easy to get lost. The drive was actually horrendous and I got mild carsickness which never happens to me. Be prepared if you have anyone who usually gets carsick. Once we got there it was so gorgeous! All the leaves were changing and all the people were friendly and happy to see you there! We even got to park within lines of trees which were all changing colors. It was a littl bit like a scene out of a movie. Then we got cider champagne, which was so amazingly good! We walked around by the pond and just hung out for a little bit in the sun. Then we got some kettle corn. Which I swear was doused in sugar, but ssooo yummy! The temperature was just perfect which was good because I don't really do well if I am in the cold. It was seriously so much fun and I would love to go again because we only got to two of the farms when there are for sure close to 100. If you do go, make sure to figure out which farms you want to go to, because there are so many that just wandering around will take so long.
My favorite word of all time is Incandescently. I think it is an imcredible word and just sounds so cool! It just makes it seem like you know what you are talking about when you use it! I first heard about it in Pride and Prejudice! Find a new word everyday and use it!
I LOVE reading! One of my best friends from home, remembers when we first met, that I told her that I loved to read books. She always tells everyone that she thought I was the biggest nerd. Even now, with my life being so hectic, I strive to find time to sit down and read a great book. Recently I finished the biography, Front Row: Anna Wintour: What Lies Beneath the Chic Exterior of Vogue's Editor in Chief written by Jerry Oppenheimer. It goes into every aspec of Anna Wintour’s life. I think that she is wonderful and that she is so extraordinary. I would die if I could ever work at Vogue.
This topic may not be everyone’s favorite, but finishing a book is rewarding feeling. You feel accomplished even though it may seem like a small one. Always make time for your self and make time to do small things that feel rewarding where you don’t have to spend a ton of money to do. Since turning 21, I have loved being able to go to a restaurant and order a drink. To me, that is what makes me feel like an adult. I get to sit down with friends and just talk while having a refreshing drink.
So for those who are 21, I went to Chapel located in Midtown. I ordered a mojito that was very good while my friends had a lemon drop. I really liked how open the bar is and how it feels very industrial like. I didn’t like how dark it was though. It was hard to even see the person who was sitting in front of me. Overall, I really liked the bartender and his drinks along with the actual place. I just wish they would add some more lights. For more information: http://chapeltavern.com Well I am not sure if it is a love relationship or a hate relationship. On Monday I decided to try a cycling class for the very first time. I seriously was asking everyone if I was going to die. I had heard that cycling classes were death, but I put on my work out clothes and went to the class. I have a membership at 24 Hour Fitness here in Reno and they offer a wide range of classes, including this cycling class. It was so tiring and I actually thought I was dying in the class, but after I was hooked! I think it is the greatest workout ever, and actually works. I was sore for days, but I felt so productive. I would ssooo recommend trying! If you want to come with me, just let me know! I would love some company!
