RIP Trixie

A Happy List: 141

I usually don't post the same pictures that are on my blog on my Instagram and vice versa, but then I realized that maybe Instagram will not be a thing and I will lose all those photos? So I have now decided to start posting pictures on both platforms if I really like them haha.

My grandma chewing gum, pacing around, while wearing black and having her hand on her black leather purse. It was the sassiest/cutest thing and she didn't even realize she was doing it lol.

Getting a peek at the birthday gift my mom gave me because it was liquid and was in my carry on.

Finding a cute neighborhood in the suburbs of Boston. Hoping to move there in a few years!

All the LOL moments I had with my mom while visiting her in Utah this past week.

The asiago cheese bagel sandwiches at the American Fork Hospital.

The kissy face my niece does when she wants a drink.

Officially scheduling my breast reduction surgery.

Finding doggy aspirin to help Trixie's arthritis.

Harmon's cute dog cookies. (Pictured above.)

The welcome home candle Jake got me.

We were talking about how Bath and Body Works sends so many emails. My mom said, "Someone cares about me and it's Bath and Body Works!"

Walk With Trixie

Crop top found here.

TRIXIE IS PERFECT!!! She is getting a little too old for long walks now, so I put her in my nieces stroller hahahaha. She loves it so much. I wish there were giants who could push me in a stroller.

Also, that black crop top is 100% the best piece of clothing I own. SO COMFORTABLE. When I am working out I feel like it's motivational because I can see more of my body. I'll be running and look down and be like, KEEP GOING. But if I wear loose clothes then I just assume I look better underneath there than I actually do hahahaha.

Anyway, THERE ARE OFFICIALLY 2 WEEKS UNTIL WE MOVE TO NEW YORK. Like, I have this Monday, and then next Monday, and the Monday after that will be spent traveling all day. I AM SO EXCITED.

XOXO

How I Know My Mother Loves Me

SHE MADE ME THESE NOODLES. <3

Also here is a picture of Trixie. I didn't know where to put it, but I felt it was important to put it somewhere because LOOK AT HER SHE IS SO CUTE I CAN'T HANDLE IT.

Sunset pic with #nofilter. I swear the summer after my high school graduation everyone got really into sunsets. Like, REALLY. I swear every night I would see like, 3 different sunset pictures on my social media. I think it was one of those things that like, proved you were introspective. Like, if you could appreciate a good sunset then everyone knew that you were really solid and self aware. #highschoolprobs

N.E.WAYS. That's all I have for today. I am wearing fake eyelashes right now and I can't decide if I did them wrong or if fake eyelashes are just the worst?? Idk. I'll take some pictures and post them tomorrow.

XOXO

Chewy!!

Haha I love that Trixie is sponsored. Like, how does your dog get sponsored ya know?! (Probably because she is the cutest dog ever, and everyone knows it.) These Blue Buffalo Sizzlers were her treats for this month. She lovesssss Beggin' Strips and Pup-eroni, so she loved these haha. She is old old old, so I have been trying to pick softer treats for her each month. I'm pretty sure she has like, not very many teeth left haha. I want to get her soft dog food too, but I hate the cans where you have to scoop it out. Ugh the smell is the worst haha. 

Anyway. Safe to say Trix is a fan of these treats! Thanks Chewy! :) Also, safe to say I am a fan of taking pictures of my dog. Sorry for all the non-dog people, but I am obsessed. I'm getting so sad to leave her when we move :( She'll be happier here than in New York though, so I guess that can help me feel better.

XOXO

P.S. I'm supposed to say legal things I guess (I obivously know nothing about this stuff haha) so: We got the treats in exchange for our honest review and no other compensation was received. 

The One With The Corny Video

Guys, it's week 2 of the Flog Challenge. So, I'll just leave this here.

The One With The Breakfast Of Champions

Trixie and I had dessert for breakfast on Friday morning because that's how we roll. Chewy sent her these apple dumpling treats and I had 3 Reese's sitting in my fridge so how could we not, ya know??

I told my mom to smell one of the treats because they smell SO GOOD. Like, I'm debating trying one? I already know what the outcome will be, but they seriously smell like delicious little apple cinnamon bites. (Update: Since I have written this post I did, indeed, try one. It wasn't something I would eat daily, but it really wasn't that bad. It just had a weird texture. Ha, I'm like an official crazy dog lady now, eating dog treats.)

Anyway. I'm still obsessed with Trixie. What else is new. Oh, and I'm trying to up my photography game and I feel like I accomplished what I wanted to with these pictures, so that's good news.

Thanks again to Chewy for making Trixie's life so much tastier!! If she could talk I'm sure she would be constantly begging me for more treats. :)

XOXO

Trixie In Park Heaven

Ok so I just want to start this post off by saying I LOVE the Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8G ED AF-S Nikkor Wide Angle Zoom Lens. You guys... it's seriously amazing. It will definitely be the next lens I purchase! I rented it for a wedding I photographed and got to keep it over the weekend. We went on a picnic on Sunday, so I brought it along and WOW. I fell in love with it even more! You can rent it from Allen's Camera for like $35 a day, so if you're into photography definitely go check it out to experience ultimate awesomeness and GORGEOUS pictures. 

Anyway, on to the real post. So, Chewy was nice enough to send Trixie some Backcountry 96% beef canned dog food this month! Since she is so old (15 years!) I've noticed she doesn't like hard things as much as she used to. She will still eat them, but it just takes her longer than it did when she was a young pup. She will take like one dog food at a time instead of multiple ha! So, I'm excited to spoil her with soft dog food for dinner this month!

I was showing the lens to my sister and she took this of me. I'm so photogenic. I know haha. But also my hair is on day 7 in this picture, and I am v proud that it can go 7 days without being washed and not be the grossest thing on all earth. I mean, it's pretty gross (hence the hat) but not the grossest, ya know?

Trixie enjoying her dog food! I gave her the whole can and she couldn't even eat it all haha. So, needless to say, she will be able to have a delicious dinner every day this month at that rate!

 

Jake found a "big person swing" on the playground hahahaha. I seriously crack up just looking at this picture. He pushed me in it and I totally freaked out! I'm not a roller coaster person and for some reason the swing made me feel EXACTLY like I was on a roller coaster. My brother-in-law said my sister did the exact same thing, so at least I'm not alone haha!

Ok, LOOK AT HER FACE. You guys, she was in HEAVEN. Like, she was just running around the park, laying in different patches of shade, rolling around and loving life! I think we wiped her out because for the rest of the day she just slept! Anyway, she is the queen and we are obsessed with her!

Special thanks to Chewy for being the best ever and sending Trix some delicious food! She is really in heaven these days with all her treats!

XOXO

I'll Be Yours Forever, Just Tell Me When To Start

I don't know why this happened. But it did. Her back legs in this first picture are the best.

This picture was taken at 11:42 a.m...

#bondingmomentswithTrixie

I am trying to make myself more photogenic and less awkward feeling. So, alas. A photo without Trixie or a stupid face.

Ok how funny is Trixie? Like, I had just let her in and called her into the room after she was eating. Apparently eating just really takes it out of you. Like she literally just collapsed and started napping. I can't imagine that postition was comfortable, but you've gotta do what you've gotta do... right? Lol. I'm going to miss this little nug when we move to NYC!
