Lucy Loves:

Howdy! Happy Monday! Smile!

I've decided to start a little somin' somin' i like to call.... wait for it... Lucy Loves!

Because for some odd reason I have the impression that Ya'll would like to know what I'm loving every once and a while. I'm probably wrong. But hey, it brings me joy:) So i'll just keep doin me.

So, without further ado, my top 5 favorite's right now. 

1. Favorite face product.

My favorite right now is a lotion. A drugstore lotion at that! I have very sensitive skin and finding a good lotion for my skin in almost impossible. BUT here it is. The mecca of cheap lotions for sensitive skin. CeraVe facial moisturizing lotion. Both the AM and PM versions are great! The AM has sunscreen in it which is awesome, especially here at the beach! I have found that my skins likes the PM more, probably because it has less chemicals because of the lack of sunscreen. Its not too thick, not too thin but has a perfect consistency for keeping your skin moisturized all day! So go head over to walmart, or CVS, or target or wherever you find yourself and pick up this lotion. It rocks.

2. Favorite Nail Polish

I was in Nashville on monday and my mother and I got our toe nails painted at the airport to fill extra time. I went for my usual neon pink and loved it. Then, about 20 minutes later I had already ruined the two big toes. Proof. (EW, foot picture.)

So with our last 20 minutes before our meeting we ran our little selves into Walgreens and did our best to match the color. We found one and I actually love it! Its a cheap drugstore find and its a great neon color! Loveee. It's called Sinful Colors #920

3. Favorite Song

Well, more than just a song... I'm obsessed with this artist in general! She. is . FanTAStic. Look her up, buy her album, and listen to it over and over. I'll be honest, I didn't click with her music right away but after two times listening through and i mean REALLY listening to her genius lyrics, i fell in love. So seriously. GO FIND HER.

4. Favorite Place

If you follow me on twittah or insta... you probably know i've spent a little time in Nashville this summer. Well, just from the short time I've spent there I can honestly say its the coolest place on the planet. There is inspiration and passion pouring out of every building. There is someone on every street corner just waiting for their time to shine. Its amazing. If you haven't been there, GO. Like, now. You will not regret it.

I jumped with giddy seeing this bench:) (see: favorite song)

 
                     

5. Favorite Pass Time

Some people read, some people watch TV, and i do too! But right now, I always find myself reading blogs. BlogLovin is heaven and I love reading cute peoples blogs. I mean, its not a requirement to be cute, but it definitely helps. jokes. Anywho, here are some of my favorite blogs at the moment!

        - Kendi Everyday
        - Rylee Blake
        - Something Devine
        - The Chestnut Hill (this is one of my cute friends from school...so adorable!)

When you dream, dream big:

Part 1:

In case you don't follow me on instagram...or facebook...or twitter... than you probably don't know that a couple weeks ago, I took a spontaneous road trip to paradise! Otherwise known as Nashville. The land of dreams, the mecca of music, the place I will one day call home.

If you know me, you know that I have wanted to go to Nashville for quite some time now. I had dreamed about the neon lights of music row and the magic that the Grand Ole Opry holds, but I wanted so badly to experience for myself.

You can probably guess how I felt about the trip. BEST. DAY. EVERRRRR!!! (you said it in your best tangled voice. I know I did.) In fact, you could often find me saying... I AM NEVER GOING BACKKK!!!

Just a little imagery of how i felt that glorious weekend. I guess it was fun.

We drove about 10 1/2 hours to get there. I drove with my two friends Aubri, and her sister Kait. We had so much fun jamming to old/new country music and making fun of Kait for her hipster music. ;)

Driving across the Tennessee border!

We left Friday morning at about 9:00 and needed to be in Nashville by 9:30 for the Opry show! So This is us after getting ready in the car:) Aweee pritnay!

Luckily we made it on time, and got to make fools out of ourselves by doing all the touristy things like taking pictures of everything in sight and saying things like, "I cannot believe we are here! Oh my gosh!"

The whole group in front of the Grand Ole Opry. Drew, Myself, Aubri, Kait, and my beautiful Mother

 As you can see from the picture, there are a couple more people than I previously told you were on the trip. Let me explain. Rewinnnnnndddd.

On the monday before the trip, I was scrolling through my twitter feed when I saw a post from the Grand Ole Opry saying that they had just opened a new show that friday where Lauren Alaina, Josh Turner, and Carrie Underwood would be performing. Hold up, CARRIE UNDERWOOD?! I had to go.

I posted on my facebook (semi-jokingly) asking if anyone would want to go with me, and Aubri and Kait both said YES YES YES! So after a little begging, crying, and annoying pleading...my mom agreed to let me go. In fact, it just so happened that she would be meeting my brother in Atlanta that same friday to help him move back to Texas, so they took a small 4 hour detour and met us there! It was truly an adventure:)

I love the Opry...its as magical as it seems on TV. 

To be Continued....

Until next time,
xx
