Let The Adventures Begin!

It is the night before the big show! I have been anticipating (not so quietly) this day for the last two months! Yes that is me with my pack on. Darn thing weighs 25lbs! Have I been wearing it around my hotel room for the past two nights?... um yes... :)

I'll be in Chile for 12 days. I am meeting up with some friends down there. We have no real plans....other than rafting!!!!! It has been 5 months since i was on a river. I am dying to get back on a boat! :) Other than that, we are going to try an hike through the Andes, go climbing in Argentina, and tour through The Lake District (that is if that Volcano stops erupting).

All I need to do now, is hop two planes, one train, and a bus. Final destination after 26 hours of travel: Pucon.

**please excuse the crappy picture. I took it with my laptop camera**

Weekend In George

This weekend I was able to make it to Saint George! It was my mom's birthday weekend and wish that i make it home before i leave for Chile. It was a good weekend. I was able to have good quality sister/family time & friend time (thanks for going to get Pedi's with me Jess).

After far too long a time apart, I was reunited with one of my besties Joni Morris Adams at Twenty Five Main. Let me introduce you all to her... Joni, this is everyone... Everyone this is Joni (my roommate from Italy).

From there we were able to go hiking with our friend Brooke. Where we proceeded to take pictures of us doing all sorts of interesting things... which included the one below. I wish you all could have seen Brooke's first attempt to get on my shoulders. Ahh... good times...

Joni and I at the top of our hike/run.

I am leaving for Chile this Thursday! Time has flown by and I can't wait to go down the Futa, hike in the Andes, and tour the Lake District. This is going to be perfect! If anyone has any tips for Chile, feel free to leave a comment!

'Cause Getting Old Is Hard To Do

This year marks a very sad year for me... I'll be 25!!! EWWWW!!! The scary part about this is i feel like i am starting to look 25! NO BUENO! I feel like i am starting to get wrinkles and everything... :( For those of you who know me, know i don't wash my face, i never use lotion, zit cream, or use anti-age anything. I didn't even start wearing make-up until i was a Junior in High School and only mascara, eyeliner, and blush at that (sadly enough, that is still all i wear)... Maybe some one out there can help me?! I feel like i need some one to help me put on make-up! Sheesh i am a sad case....

Soooo sometimes i like to watch trash TV... who doesn't? :) I had on E News and they were talking about spa treatments at home. Of course i perked up, because i don't know the first thing about anything like this. Once it was over, i promptly left my hotel room (because that is where i live these days), drove straight to Target and bought this:

Neutrogena's Healthy Skin Rejuvenator. I got back to my room, read the instructions, and went to work. Now it claims you'll:

• INSTANTLY have smoother, more luminous skin
• 1 Week have visible improvement in fine lines
• 4 weeks have significantly reduced appearance of wrinkles or age spots
• 8 weeks have substantial improvement in firmness

My results? The second i got done i honestly said out loud "wow my face really does feel smoother." Cheesy? Yes, but honest. I would recommend this. I'll keep you posted in what happens in 1, 4, & 8 weeks!
