New design

Hey, I design blogs. I just re-did my portfolio! Please give me feedback. Does it look professional? Would you hire me? Would Qualtrics finally let me be their graphic design intern if they see this? haha be brutal! :) You can view my portfolio here

I'm loving

+Trent

+late night run to wendy's and backseat picnic. Guilt free burgers. mmmmm

+T winning his soccer game (scored 2 of the 4 goals, yeahhhh budd-ay!)

+Clayyyy Jordan and Stu. love them. forever my faves

+The Meiers in general. those people were heaven sent.

+Night games. even if some people playing are too serious about it. still fun

+youth

+Taylor Swift's documentary. It's on netflix, go watch it! She's an inspiration.

+my new header over here. love it. sometimes I feel talented.

+My dear sweet grand parents. both sides. They are so loving and giving, I love dem.

+the sweet baby I no longer get to watch. (here mama is a teacher and school is out, so no more need of a nanny!) At first, I wasn't too into watching a baby all day, but after seeing her so much and realizing how precious and perfect she is, I envy her goodness.

Sometimes I just need to step back, count my blessings, and realize what a good life I do have. It's so easy to sometimes count any misfortune that may happen, but it's a lot more refreshing and happy to actually count the good things.

June sponsor me, yo

Yesterday:

+I nannied a wittle bebe and didn't realized my shirt of choice said "I'm easy." with the green dot referring to slopes. Green dot= easy slope. It's a punny shirt.  People probs didn't have time to get the pun and were too busy staring at a young girl with a 5 month old babe. #sorrynotsorry

+thought about doing an ab workout. didn't happen. typical. :)

+visited my sweet grandparents. I wuv them

+Got to play with Trenty. he's the best.

+and participated in night games. aka everyone showing up, making game plans, and different groups sneaking away quietly till it was pointless. So I played some super smash on the wii instead. #winning

Provo is a good place. I guess I like to get in the habit of bashing this place because let's face it, Arizona is my home and I miss it. It's sad being away from family who cares about you on the daily. But I guess I have it pretty good up here. 

Anyways, if you are interested in sponsoring or swapping buttons, please refer to this page right here

If you happen to find yourself in Australia...

Then be sure to be on the lookout for Peace Republic Clothing merch :) A lovely lady from Aussie bought a nice amount of headbands from me and is selling them in her store. yay! What? You're confused? I make and sell headbands, silly. Feel free to check them out here. They are my passion anddd since this chick just invested in a sewing machine, my possibilities are officially endless.  The above photo is myself modeling one of the PRC floral clips. yay felt!

 Okay, now you're bored and want to hear an embarrassing story about me. Or I just like to volunteer that info? uhh...Okay fine, yes I started the Hannah Montana seasons round 2. While I make headbands, this entertains me! I am open to suggestions of shows to watch while I craft because let's face it, I'm not 12 anymore. Even though I totes look it. #guilty

shop here.

Okay okay okay. In case you are unaware, Shabby Apple is basically the place to be right this second. Aka have you seen their clothing? Let alone clearance? I pretty much have my eye on this guy currently.

Am I obsessed with bows? Yes. Should you be? Yes. Should you buy this for me and you? yes, yes you should. Check it out here. And obviously they have other things I need. Yes, need. So basic Candace needs- food, water, sleep, and Shabby Apple. Thank you in advance :)

oh hi, what's this? Yeah. You are welcome. 

massages are awkward.

Call me 5 years old but, I think professional massages are awkward. I had one yesterday and I was so excited. But since I've never had a pro massage, I had no clue what to expect! My massage therapist was male. That was mistake #1. Cause let's face it, getting in your b-day suit and laying on a bed while a guy touches your body. Weird. Awkward. Etc. I have a voucher for 3 more massages and I'm contemplating either just giving them away or specifically requesting a female massage lady next time. I'm sure the therapists massage millions of peeps and think nothing of it, but I felt uncomfy. And had to stifle laughter with the leg massage and pretend that I wasn't in the nude and alone in a dark room with a stranger. Yeah. Don't forget, this post is fully judgeable. If you think I'm just immature, that's fine to think. Cause I probs am.

andddd on a completely different and opposite note, T and I went to Park City on Sunday with his sisters and brother in law! His brother in law's family lives up there so we had some mothers day fun with them! We love us any opportunity to go up to Park City.

Also, here is a public shout out for my mama! (don't worry, on mother's day, we talked and I told her how great she is) I love you mama! You're the best there is and I appreciate EVERYTHING you do, which is a TON. You've taught me well and I miss you like crazy!! Love, Candace

the pool. my life. and a pup.

Today at the pool, someone brought a pup. So naturally, we all took pictures with it.  So here they are. So you can all be obsessed with this ewok look alike (resemblance brought to my attention by mr. C heninger& S Roach)

Trent's face. so cute. so much love between T and his new buddy. The pool has become basically home #2. Just call me a pool rat!
