Throwback Thursday, Part 6

Graduation Day.

For many, it's an accomplishment.

For others, it's a stepping stone.

For me and my friends, it's a reason to party.

So when high school finally ended that's exactly what we did.

 We hugged...

We contemplated our futures...

We jumped for joy...

 And we lit the fireplace in the backyard...

To burn all of our schoolwork in a true we're-done-with-high-school fashion.

Sadly, many of us parted ways after that summer...

But at least we'll always have the memories.

Throwback Thursday, Part 3

Now that Easter is over and my pockets are a bit heavier thanks to the Easter Bunny, I have shopping on the brain. Surprise, surprise.

Yesterday, my debit card and I wandered around the mall and eventually ended up at Nordstrom. Whilst there, I happened to pass by the dress department and noticied it was already stocked with this season's  prom dresses. I found myself making my way over to let my fingers slide through the beautiful chiffon and silk gowns because, let's face it, I couldn't help myself. At that moment I not longer had shopping on the brain, but nostalgia. I really miss going to the mall with my friends to pick out the perfect floor-length gown that I would dance the night away in.

Therefore, I am dedicating my 3rd Throwback Thursday post to my high school dances and my gorgeous dresses. All 5 of them.

My dresses are currently collecting dust in the back of my closet; however, the memories will live on... and on and on and on. 

Rescue Me, Please

When I have the time, I mosey on down to Rescue Skin Care and Waxing Studio for a bit of primping and pampering. They offer a wide variety of services and I adore them all.

The studio is a full of professional estheticians that provide a relaxing environment and do everything they can to make you feel comfortable.

Last year, on a whim I decided to deviate from my old waxing studio (OC Waxing) and try Rescue since it was a few miles closer to home. I've been a loyal client ever since. Not only was it more affordable, but they offered many other incredible services and the girls were absolutely amazing.

I've also splurged on a couple of facials since stumbling upon Rescue and learned a ton about my skin from the esthetician. Throughout high school I suffered from acne and assumed I had oily skin as a result; however during my facial I learned that my skin is incredibly dehydrated. My skin was desperately craving the moisturizer I'd been avoiding like the plague. Now, I no longer purchase expensive acne creams or lotions and my skin looks better than it ever has.

Needless to say, I don't feel the need to go anywhere else for my waxing and skin care needs. Rescue is where it's at.
