Spirit Week & Homecoming
There's a first for everything!
Happy Sunday everyone! I'm in a good mood today (yay!).. Here's a little recap of my week:
Last weekend I went horseback riding and tubing for the first time ever! For my best friend's 18th birthday we all went to Helen, GA to go horseback riding then tubing on the Chattahoochee River. First let me say that I grew up in New York before I moved to GA. The only time I ever saw a horse was at the zoo. And although we used to live right by the Atlantic Ocean and I can swim, I NEVER dared to actually get in the water (besides my feet). To this day, I still feel some type of way about any kind of natural water (oceans, rivers, lakes, etc.). I just don't feel safe in them. But I sucked all that up for my friend and went tubing for 2 hours on the Chattahoochee River. It wasn't so bad until I had to get out of my tube when I got stuck on rocks and such. I really tried to avoid getting out. The rocks were so slimy and there were fish (and we saw a few SNAKES) swimming around lol.. I just felt more comfortable IN the tube. I'm glad I did it instead of being a little punk though. Lol, but the horseback riding was SO peaceful and relaxing! The scenery was so beautiful and my horse (his name was Edowa) was so sweet! I was actually nervous when we got there and saw the horses up close.. I didn't even want to touch them but once I got on everything changed. I really, really would love to go again!
Also in the past week, me and my boyfriend got back together. I didn't tell you guys that we even broke up lol.. but we did about 2/3 weeks ago. His 18th birthday was on Thursday (September 13th) and we got back together the next day. I'm not really surprised about it.. I knew that things were just too overwhelming for a little while for us to be together but now that we've settle down and adjusted, everything's fine!
Now for the cons of my week. So, last weekend I took advantage of e.l.f.'s online sale/deal. If you spent $20 dollars on any products you were eligible to win the fall favorites collection for free with a code that they gave you. I was very excited about this because I needed new products and brushes so it was an awesome deal for me! I did everything that was required and confirmed my order (which only came to $26.95 with shipping, normally would be about $50). It took about a week for my package to come but I was really happy when it came.. until I opened the box. I recieved all the items I actually paid for but they did not give me my free fall favorites collection. Instead they gave me a whole bunch of other products I did not order or intend on getting. I was very confused and disappointed by this so I checked the website. On the fall favorites collection product page, it did say that if items were out of stock they would be substituted. But, the items weren't out of stock when I ordered them. This made me angry so I sent a LONG email to customer service and I am currently waiting for a reply. I will keep you all updated with this discrepancy! But, on the other hand, I am very pleased with the products I did recieve (correctly):
I've already done my nails (inspiration on Pinterest) and used the makeup and seem to have no problem with it (yet). Speaking of Pinterest, I would love if you all followed me at lovekiara and on Instagram at lovekiara as well! And that basically concludes my week.. Hope you all are having a great day!

Birthday Weekend
My 17th birthday was Sunday (yes Father's Day)! I spent the entire weekend with my best friends and boyfriend to celebrate. On Saturday, me and two friends went to this concert called Birthday Bash (by Hot 107.9) in Atlanta.
Then on Sunday, my boyfriend came over and surprised me with jewelry. And later on that night, I went to a party with friends!
So overall, I had a great birthday weekend with the people I love the most and I'm very thankful that I have them in my life :)

Can't you just be happy for my happiness?
Most of my close friends don't like me with the boy I'm with, at all. Which forces me to choose between them or him. I don't want to but I honestly think they should support me instead of down me. So I choose him most of the time. This relationship has been going on for almost a year now, they need to chill. I'm happy..
Summertime.
So, as many of you don't know, my 16th birthday was Friday. And although I was away at the Georgia Journalism Academy, I still had fun that day and yesterday. Since Friday was our last full day at the camp, they organized a banquet and dance for us which was definitely amusing. I enjoyed myself! Actually I enjoyed the whole week. It was fun, and I learned a LOT about journalism and writing a feature story. It was a great experience!
Since I didn't get to really do anything on my birthday with my friends back home, my mom bought me cake and said she'd take me and some of my friends to the mall/movies. We went to see Bridesmaids, which was hilarious! Lol, overall it was a good night full of laughter and shopping. My friends are the best :)
Even though I just came back yesterday (and haven't unpacked yet), I have to start packing AGAIN. My real birthday present is going on a shopping spree in New York, my home state, and we're leaving on Wednesday. I'm soooo excited! I get to see all my old friends and my family. I already know I'm

I Smell Summer.
What a great weekend! Minus the fact that I didn't get to hang out with the boyfriend. My school had our PowderPuff game yesterday, I cleaned all the junk out of my room, and I'm blogging again :D Also, this is the last weekend of the school year! This week, all I have to do is take finals and then it will officially be SUMMER 2011!
At the Powderpuff game, the seniors played the freshmen, and after that we (sophomores) played the juniors. Since the seniors and juniors won out of the those two games, sophomores and freshmen had to play the loser game and seniors and juniors played the winner game. We won against the freshmen, of course. And the most intense game of the night, seniors vs. juniors, was close but juniors won by 3 points, making them the altogether champs this year. I had fun playing and chillin' with everybody yesterday, regardless of us winning or losing. Can't wait until next year!
I am so excited for this summer! I have almost my whole month of June planned out already:
