OMGLITZY: Nailed It

Nailed It

Decided to paint my toe nails today ..  
These are the tools I use first when I give myself a manicure or pedicure. I got a pretty nice set when I went to cosmetology school. It’s important to clean up your cuticles and always buff before you paint them. It makes the surface look a lot cleaner.
These are the polishes I used. I finished it off with a clear top coat, too.
Tada! 🙂

OMGLITZY: My Top 5 Fictional Valentines

Wednesday, February 10, 2016

My Top 5 Fictional Valentines

Valentine’s Day is quickly approaching and as a single gal I couldn’t help but daydream about who my favorite fictional Valentine would be! It’s no surprise that most of these are characters in shows I’m currently hooked on! 
Barry Allen aka The Flash

In the show Barry has taken a few lucky girls on some interesting dates from bowling, to coffee, to lavish dinners. I imagine Barry would be fun to spend an evening with just chatting and laughing. He’s laid back and smart and let’s not forget a super hero! 😛

Jace Wayland

I’m going to save my opinion of the new Shadowhunters show for another post. (It’s not the best.) So let’s focus on Jace the character! Sure he may be a little self-absorbed at times but you can guarantee your date with him wouldn’t be boring. I actually like how in the show he is portrayed as very caring and protective. And he’s not bad to look at either! 😉

Poe Dameron

After I saw The Force Awakens I had trouble choosing a favorite character because they were all fantastic. Poe stood out to me the most, however, with his charm, strength and overall positive attitude. I’d love to go on a date with him because I am sure he’d be a gentleman with lots of cool stories!

James Alexander Malcolm MacKenzie Fraser

If Jamie Fraser from Outlander is NOT on your fictional Valentine list then you are missing out! He has got to be one of the most romantic and thoughtful characters I’ve experienced in a book and show. He would quite literally risk his life for you so just imagine how great of a Valentine he’d be!

Augustus Waters

He may not have super human strength or be able to fly an X-wing, but Augustus from The Fault in Our Stars has a magic all his own. From his witty comebacks to his deep thinking, he would grant you meaningful and memorable moments. Not only that, but he’d be patient, kindhearted, and thankful for any time spent with you. He’d be a perfect Valentine. <3

I’d love to hear who your top 5 are so be sure to leave a comment!
Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!

Xoxo,
Glitzy

  1. Oh man. I was not expecting to love him so much, but my heart belongs to Poe Dameron. Dat swag. Dat hair. Swoon.

    Other fandom Valentines would include Elijah Mikealson (don't judge), The Doctor, Garrus Vakarian & Castiel.

OMGLITZY: My Next Cosplay is…

Wednesday, March 6, 2013

My Next Cosplay is…

Fiona! I am doing the version from Shrek Forever After. This appealed to me because I think it will stand out in the crowd! I love characters that require some unique makeup. (I had a blast being Asajj Ventress.) So the bright green skin will surely get noticed! I also wanted to do a completely handmade costume. This is a great way for me to learn how to make armor and a weapon.

This outfit including the armor (but not the sword)
I will be attempting to make this battle axe!

I used Wolfe FX for my Asajj Ventress body paint, but they didn’t have a green that I felt was ogre-like. So I ordered this body paint by Mehron in the color Lime. It came a few days ago, and I’m very happy with it!
The wig is from Arda. The style is Buttercup and the color is Pumpkin. They make very good quality costume wigs. I plan to tease this some so it looks more like I’ve been in battle.

Fabric is from JoAnn’s.. The light brown and string is for the shirt. The darker brown is for the belt. And of course the plaid is the skirt. I got some strips of leather to make the wrist band, but I might use fabric from the shirt instead.

Made the necklace and dagger hilt out of Crayola Model Magic.
This stuff is SO easy to use. It dries into a very lightweight foam. But is still sturdy.

I love how the necklace turned out! The dark green was a tad too dark, though. So I repainted it to be a little brighter. It’s drying right now or I would have taken a new pic.
After painting the hilt of the dagger I attached some foam to the end. So this is convention friendly 😉

The armor requires more steps.. I used this tutorial by One Delightful Day.
I have never made armor before, but this tutorial made things really easy. I skipped adding the wire to the back edges because I don’t think I’ll need to bend my pieces much. This step in the above photo shows me cutting out the foam and adding the gauze-like fabric to the back to reinforce the foam.

Next I put Gesso on the pieces to act as a primer for the paint. If you just try to paint it without Gesso you won’t get a very good result. So definitely don’t skip this step! This is a picture of just ONE coat of silver. One coat was all it needed!
(Click to view larger)
This is after I added some more paint to give it a distressed look. I’m sure there’s lots of techniques you can use. I just wet my paint brush with water and dabbed some paint on. Then I smeared it with a paper towel. I learned that if you try too hard to get it right you’ll end up going crazy. Remember it’s supposed to look old and messy.
Just need to attach elastic or velcro or some string (not sure which yet, lol) so it can go around my arm. I think it looks cool!! Not bad for my first try.
This is the belt buckle cut out of foam. I forgot to do this when I made the other pieces of armor so I haven’t distressed it yet.
:+:+:+:+:
So there’s still a LOT to do .. Like make the shirt and skirt and weapon!! Ahh! But I am having tons of fun with this costume. I can’t wait to debut it at Dallas Comic Con in May. I already bought my VIP ticket, too! Huge thanks to everyone that has LIKED my Facebook page. I said I would announce my cosplay if I hit 100 Likes, and now I’m already at 109!!
Have you seen Shrek Forever After?
Are you going to Dallas Comic Con?
Will you be in a costume?

    1. Thanks Mia! I change my mind on costumes a lot, but once I invest some time into it I get pumped about it!

      Graduation is definitely more important than a con.. And big congrats in advance!! You and I will for sure hang out at A-Kon .. Not sure what my costume will be but I already have a ticket!

  3. That looks amazing! I used to have a roommate who would make her own costumes for cosplay and I would just watch in awe. I got to make a friend of mine earrings for her Hawkeye cosplay at Seattle Comic con and that was super cool. That wig looks really good on you. It matches your complexion really well. I hope you have tons of fun at Comic Con 🙂

OMGLITZY: My Little Pony: Childhood Memories

Monday, December 9, 2013

My Little Pony: Childhood Memories

There’s a special memory I have when I was little of me and my mom. I was in elementary school, and I got all A’s on one of my report cards. So my mom said she would take me to Toys R Us to get a My Little Pony. I can remember picking a pony at the store and afterwards going to McDonald’s to celebrate. I got a McNugget Happy Meal and my new pony got to sit at the table with us. I can picture the exact booth we sat in at that McDonald’s back home. It’s one of my absolute favorite memories. I had a lot of wonderful toys when I was little. And I love it when a special toy sneaks into my head so I can think of all the times I spent playing with it. Mostly, my Ponies weren’t “played” with but rather had their hair brushed constantly. I *loved* brushing their manes and tails.

Here is a pic of the pony I got in my memory when we went to McDonald’s. Her name is Lofty!
Photo credit: eBay
This was another pony I loved. I played with her so much her cutie mark wore off. Her name is Sunnybunch.
Photo credit: MyLittleWiki.org
And now let me introduce you to Hula Hula! She was my all time favorite because she had the SOFTEST HAIR. It never tangled and was soooo silky. I was so jealous of her hair (mine was crazy frizzy) .. I loved brushing it and was so envious of her multiple colors 🙂 I guess My Little Pony influenced my hair styling choices! 😀
:+:+:+:+:
There’s a bunch of other toys I absolutely adored as a child. And I am so thankful my mom would get them for me. So as I think of awesome memories I will probably make more posts like this one. I also want to mention that I am really hooked on the new My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. It’s the cutest show and all the characters are so unique. Since I am not sure if my mom kept my old ponies, I have started a new collection with the new series. So someday I can make a post on that, too. ^.^
Do you have a favorite childhood toy?

  3. I had hardly any toys as a kid, just a couple of these ponies shared with my little sister and a toy phone. I remember my little sister cut off the mane of one and it was one of the saddest days everrrr hahaha

OMGLITZY: My Favorite Movies

Wednesday, February 20, 2013

My Favorite Movies

Movies are so expensive these days.. So I don’t really go to the theater much. If I go to one then I must REALLY like it! I do enjoy going to midnight showings at theaters. It’s fun to see the “super fans” all dressed up and waiting in line for hours with me. Most of my favorite movies are either chick flicks or fantasy. Although there’s one major exception to that.. I’m sure you’ll notice when you read it. 🙂

In no particular order:

How To  Deal
-I remember seeing this in the theater a couple of times in high school. It really portrays everything life can throw at you (marriage, divorce, break ups, friendships, pregnancy, death, etc) but in simple terms so as not to make the movie feel too serious. I love the music in it as well.


The Departed
-This is my curve ball I mentioned earlier. It’s definitely not a chick flick.. and no way near fantasy. It’s more of a drug lord movie (lol) .. So I’m not sure why I love it so much. Maybe Leonardo Di Caprio has something to do with it? Or the use of the Dropkick Murphy’s songs? 😛


Empire Records
-This move is just all around COOL. Each character is so different and interesting. They all have great qualities and then major problems at the same time. One of my favorite things to do as a kid was go to a CD store. We had one called Hastings back home, and it’s still a place I like just hanging out in. This movie also has one of my favorite quotes – “Damn the man!”


Tangled
-Probably the newest movie on my list (besides Hunger Games). I am a big big big Disney girl. I love all the princesses. And until Tangled my favorite Disney movies were Aladdin and Hercules. Tangled was beautifully animated. And Mandy Moore as the voice of Rapunzel is such a joy! Her songs really touch me. I’m a just a sappy romantic I guess.


Sweet November
-In this film the main character is very odd. She knows she’s a little out there.. and she uses it to help random strangers that are trapped in a business-focused world find their inner freedom. I relate to Charlize Theron’s character.. I live in my own world, too. I cry every time I watch it. And I just love the song “Only Time” by Enya.


Scott Pilgrim vs The World
-Based off the comics by Bryan Lee O’Malley, this adaptation is humorous, game-like, and greatly casted! As seen in my Comic Con post, I am a big fan of Ramona Flowers. I laugh out loud at certain scenes and also enjoyed the movie’s soundtrack. Check out “Black Sheep” by Metric.


The Goonies
-There really is nothing better than a good 80’s movie. There are so many good quotes from this. I actually have “Slick Shoes” tattooed on my ankles. The cast totally rocked and the plot is interesting throughout. I enjoy watching this when I’m in need of something simple but adventurous. No need for crazy CGI.. just good a ole pirate treasure hunt.


Stardust
-When I rented Stardust I wasn’t sure if it was going to be any good. I had read a cool quote from the movie online, but also read bad reviews. So I wasn’t expecting to enjoy it as much as I did. It’s a beautiful fantasy kingdom, and the cast was very funny at times (Robert De Niro in drag!)  I just wish they played up the love story a little more. Here’s the quote I liked, A philosopher once asked, “Are we human because we gaze at the stars, or do we gaze at them because we are human?” Pointless, really… “Do the stars gaze back?” Now *that’s* a question.”

Lord of The Rings, Harry Potter, Twilight & The Hunger Games
-I grouped these together because they are all a series. Although I haven’t read LoTR, the others were all favorite books of mine. So naturally I love the movies! Any time LoTR is on tv you bet I am watching it. Although it’s long, I can’t help but be mesmerized by the enchanting story. I’ll agree that Twilight has some bad acting in it. But I’m still a Twi-hard. 😛 I also have loved Harry Potter since the first book was released. So following it for all these years has given me some magical memories. I am new to The Hunger Games.. but I was instantly hooked after reading the 3 books in 2 days. The movie was great in my opinion. The cast did a wonderful job, and I am looking forward to the next movies.

Honorable mentions:
The Princess Bride, Enchanted, 27 Dresses, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, The Labyrinth, Ever After, Underworld, My Big Fat Greek Wedding, & Dirty Dancing

After typing this I realized I like quite a few movies! I really really want to watch The Princess Bride and Tangled now. I’m sure I left out some good ones, too. 
What is your all time favorite movie? Can you recommend any movies I need to see?

    1. Those were really well filmed! Love that even sequels were good! Brendan Fraser is so cute 😛

  3. The following is just a preliminary draft of films which have relevance to my gratification: Apollo 13, The Awakening, Shine, Schindler's List, The Pianist, Amadeus, Steel Magnolias, Photographing Fairies, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Edward Scissorhands, An American Tail (Fievel), Girl Interrupted, The Family Stone, Christmas Vacation, Planes/Trains and Automobiles, The Great Outdoors, Interview with the Vampire, Doctor Zhivago, original Romeo and Juliet, A River Runs Through It, Legends of the Fall, Fight Club, Se7en, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile, Capricorn One, Beaches, For the Boys, Saving Private Ryan, Good Will Hunting, Good Morning, Vietnam, Dead Poet's Society, A.I., One Hour Photo, It, all Saw movies, Wrong Turn movies, The Red Shoes, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, Young Guns, Love Actually, To Kill A Mockingbird, When Harry Met Sally, You've Got Mail, Sleepless In Seattle, Catch Me If You Can, Titanic (mainly because he should not have died), Meet Joe Black, City of Angels (he should not have fallen)…….to name a few.

  4. Ferris Bueller's Day Off, The Breakfast Club, Pretty In Pink.

    1. Amazing list!! A few that stood out for me were Romeo and Juliet, One Hour Photo, Saw, Love Actually, Catch Me If You Can, and The Breakfast Club … Those would definitely be on my list, too! Except I would have the new R&J cause I love Leo sooo much 🙂 And you're right – he shouldn't have died in Titanic. MythBusters even said so!!!

      Delete

  5. The Lord of the Rings trilogy is really high on my list too! Good pick.

    I wouldn't count it as one of my favorite movies, but I enjoyed Stardust a lot. Way more than I expected to. I only recently realized that it was based on a book (which I haven't read) written by Neil Gaiman. He writes some really great stories.

    I'm not very good at making favorites lists. I'd definitely include Lord of the Rings. The Kill Bill movies are on the list. Fight Club is a favorite (I'll give a shoutout to another great modern author here, Chuck Palahniuk).

    Tree of Life is a movie that I saw recently, not really knowing what to expect from it. I was mesmerized and ultimately blown away by it. I think I'm obligated to include it on my list of favorite movies just because I've never had a movie experience like it before. It's really hard to explain, but I loved it.

    The Breakfast Club is my favorite 80s movie, so it earns a spot on the list.

    And finally, The Big Lebowski.

    I'm sure I'm overlooking plenty of other great movies that I love, but these are the ones that readily come to mind.

  6. Worst movie of all time?

    The Room.

    ReplyDelete

    Replies

    1. Worst movie: Howard the Duck. More favorites, A Few Good Men, As Good As It Gets, Predator, Alien, War Games, Glory, The Devil Wears Prada (clothes are nice), Shallow Grave is just plain strange.

      I will have to check out Tree of Life.

      Delete

  7. I have never watched How To Deal, it looks awesome. I love myself some Mandy Moore.

    ReplyDelete

  8. What are your feelings for The Matrix and then in turn the whole trilogy?

    ReplyDelete

  9. There was a band called Slick Shoes too which was a late 90's early 00's punk(ish) band. They were big Goonies fans (Check out the album "Wake Up Screaming").
    My FAVES: The Goonies, Empire Records (we watched this like once a week in college), Bridget Jones' Diary (my weirdly placed chick flick), The Boondock Saints, and, The Dark Knight and more recently Wreck it Ralph (I was actually quite miffed at how good this was), Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland, Howl's Moving Castle, The Empire Strikes Back & Return of the Jedi(original theatrical release…none of the touch ups from Lucas on both of these); Heavyweights; South Pacific; Sound of Music; Amelie; Casper; Ghost World; Hello Dolly; Kill Bill Volume 1; Love Actually; Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels; The Great Muppet Caper; Newsies;Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist; Rushmore; Serenity; SLC Punk; Tokyo Godfathers; Snatch…
    Ok…I think that's a safe list to end with…

    1. Great list!! And I actually LOVE SLICK SHOES!! They were my fav band growing up .. I even have their name tattooed on my ankles! 😀

OMGLITZY: My Cosplay Interviews

My Cosplay Interviews

A few weeks ago, I was interviewed for some pretty cool websites. I had shared these interviews on my Facebook and Twitter, but I don’t think I added the links to a post here on my blog. Please check out their sites and give them a follow!
Photo by Bob Sanders
First up is Comic Book Divas. I was able to meet Bob in person a few times at different conventions in town. They always have a booth set up with tshirts and cosplayer photos for sale. Their website offers a news article section, contests, and showcase real women in their comics.
Photo by April Miller
The next interview was done by Zero Fortitude. These guys produce a fun podcast as well as articles to read. They discuss and review a wide range of geek culture from movies to anime to comics. And of course, cosplay!
I feel very honored to be selected by entertainment sites for interviews. I am such a newbie cosplayer, and have so much to learn, but I am grateful my craft has been noticed. So please please check out their sites, follow their podcasts and updates, and show them some love.
:+:+:+:+:+:
On a personal note.. I am going to SOE Live in Las Vegas this week! So be sure to follow my Instagram, Twitter and Facebook for photos while I am there. When I get back in town I will work on a blog post about it. I am so so soooooo excited to hang out with my guild members from EverQuest 2. This convention is going to be a blast.

  1. Thanks for linking to the interviews! It's so interesting to hear more about your cosplay experiences. It's great that you were selected to be interviewed for these pieces, and hopefully there will be more to come.

    Enjoy SOE Live! I won't be attending, but it should be fun! I'll look forward to the EQ:Next (EQN? What are people calling this?) reveal whenever it becomes available to the general public, but I'm excited that you'll get to see it live and in person. I don't know how far along in development it is, but maybe they'll even have live demos that you can play while you're there.

OMGLITZY: My College Graduation

Monday, May 27, 2013

My College Graduation

An interesting fact about me that some of you may not know is that I received a bachelor’s degree in 3 years! I graduated from West Texas A&M University on May 12, 2007 with a degree in Fine Arts! When I graduated from high school I didn’t have any college credits. But I took summer school every summer and even took classes during winter and spring breaks. It was a lot of hard work, but I was determined to graduate early. I was inspired by my brother, who also finished in 3 years! It was great because I was able to go to cosmetology school sooner and begin my career as a hairstylist. That’s always been where my passion is. But I am very proud to have a degree because education is super important to me. 
I graduated with Honors, too, and was on the Dean’s List each semester!
The Fine Arts and Humanities banner is on the right. It was a really fun program to be apart of.

I’ll never forget that the CEO of AT&T was our guest speaker at the ceremony. He held up a tiny device and said “The only thing you will remember about my speech is that I showed you the very first iPhone.” And sure enough .. that’s all I remember.. But how cool is that?! It wasn’t even for sale yet.
At WTAMU the mascot is a buffalo.
My family surprised me with lots of balloons and decorations that day!

I also got this amazing cookie cake. It says “Now you can slow down, Anna” .. That’s because I took so many classes back to back to back to back.

The thing I wanted most for graduation was EverQuest 2. I briefly played the original EverQuest 1, but during school I didn’t have much time to play games. So this was on the top of my wish list. I was so stoked to get it! I’ve been playing it ever since 🙂
Since I didn’t blog 6 years ago, I figured now is as good as time as any to make a post about it! I can’t believe it’s been 6 years already. I have accomplished so much.  I am extremely proud to show off something I worked so hard for!
:+:+:+
P.S. Grats to the winners of the Wizard Wand Giveaway and thank you to everyone that entered! I have so many ideas for future prizes now! So keep checking back 🙂

    1. Thanks Joey! Every May, people come in to get their hair done for graduations or they are posting on Facebook about it, etc.. So I kinda reflect back on when I focused really hard on school! I found these old photos and decided to make a blog post! 🙂

  2. That's such an awesome accomplishment! Congratulations! It's wonderful that you got through college so quickly and then went on to study cosmetology and then ultimately manage your own salon! You've accomplished so much in such a short amount of time! Be proud!

    Also, I wonder if at the time everyone was wondering, "An iWhat? Who is this guy? We'll never hear of the iPhone again after today."

    That's pretty remarkable that you have a picture of you opening Everquest II…. who would have thought you'd still be playing it so much after all this time?

  3. That is so rad. I loved this post. You worked so hard to get where you are. 🙂

    ReplyDelete

  4. A belated congratulations on your accomplishments! I've seen two nieces graduate this past week and I've been contemplating going to school myself. At the age of 45, widowed, and with a 3 yo daughter, I think that it's something I need to do. Granted, I got an education through the Navy, but there's no paperwork showing what I did. 25 years later, I can still go back and fix a radio or a radar, but no documentation saying that I can do that. It's one of those situations where I've got the experience, but I don't have the diploma. But after seeing my nieces go on their merry ways, and then seeing your blog post, I'm beginning to think that it's about time.

    ReplyDelete

  5. Congratulations on your determination and accomplishments. You probably get the surprised look from clients and friends who never would have thought you had a college and cosmetology degree. You certainly look amazing in all of your photos. It's good to read your post about this and possibly encourage others that anything is possible.

    You seem to excel at everything you do. Once you mentioned that when you grew up you wanted to be a snow cone maker. Check! A smoothie about now would be great! Now your hair has the cotton candy/snow cone look!

    Will continue to read your blog and follow your adventures.

    ReplyDelete

  6. That was really awesome!

    I actually didn't start my college carrer until two years ago because I wasn't ready right out of high school. I have my A.A. and this fall I'll be entering SF STATE to get my bachelor's degree. Here's hoping I can do it in two years!

    Great story! Thanks for sharing!!

OMGLITZY: My Birthday 2014

Friday, December 12, 2014

My Birthday 2014

Once upon a time, a little girl named Anna was born in a small Texas town. And she grew up to love all things glitzy and geeky! Most of all she loved her family.. and donuts!
This year I achieved level 29! For my special day, I went on an adventure full of exotic animals and delicious treats!

My birthday was November 11 and it was pretty chilly out! I wore a Frozen shirt and beanie. And my wig is from a store at my local mall.
This year my parents took me to The Dallas World Aquarium. It’s been on my to-do list to visit this local attraction, and I am so glad we chose to do it for my birthday. It made the day very memorable and exciting! Since it was freezing cold, I was able to wear my Katwise sweater for the first time!
I had a great time seeing the animals at the aquarium, but was a little disappointed in the building and staff. I wish they had better descriptions and information next to each exhibit or people to ask questions to. I hope to visit the Fort Worth Zoo next because I hear it’s one of the best!
After the aquarium we ate at the Olive Garden (which is where we ate last year.) I love that restaurant! When we were done we picked up my cookie cake from the mall and went home to enjoy it. Since I’m officially a Disney princess I had a Frozen themed party.
These were the adorable cards I received from my family.
I was so excited to open my pressies! I loved each one very much. A few of my favorites were Catching Fire on Blu Ray, my Pascal ornament, some Disney Funkos, and Fantasy Life for 3DS.
I was also very excited to finally have a bedskirt for my bed. It’s a light pink color and hides all my stuff under there 😀
Another gift I received that I am unbelievably thankful for was The Dreamer short bow on Guild Wars 2. My ranger LOVES to fire off rainbow unicorns at all her foes!

Well I am another year older but I don’t feel it one bit! I can’t wait to see what the year ahead has in store for me! Hopefully many more magical memories 🙂

OMGLITZY: My Birthday 2013

Sunday, December 1, 2013

My Birthday 2013

I am officially another year older, but I definitely still feel like a kid! 🙂 I am glad my birthday reflects my childlike qualities, too. I had a lot of fun with my family just hanging out and enjoying the day.

I decided to wear this dress from Hot Topic (I got about 3 years ago) and a Tarina Tarantino necklace.

My shoes were my first birthday gift! They are Uggs and SO COMFY! I got them a few days early so I could wear them sooner 🙂
My dad surprised me with a donut that morning! They didn’t have any with sprinkles so we had to make our own. It tasted great!

I am moving soon so all those plastic tubs are my costumes lol .. But it made a good area for my presents to be displayed.

Pixie had a birds-eye view of the party!

I was looking forward to playing Animal Crossing because your villagers throw a birthday party for you! I’m so glad my favorite villager, O’Hare, surprised me.
(Tip: Be sure to visit Club LOL the Saturday before your birthday so KK Slider can give you a copy of the song KK Birthday!)

O’Hare, Fuchsia and Antonio all came to my party!

Back in real life… my family and I ate at the Olive Garden! I love ordering their spaghetti and eating a million breadsticks.  

Then we came back home and opened my gifts. Pixie was having a blast playing with all the tissue paper. But she eventually wore herself out!
A few of the things I got were a Pokemon tshirt, a Doctor Who scarf, a Teemo hat, and chocolate! My parents also surprised me with tickets to see ICE! at the Gaylord Texan. It didn’t open until a week after my birthday. I can’t wait to share that adventure in another blog post.

My cake was from Nothing Bundt Cakes and was soooo cute. The flavor was red velvet, and they put the sweetest princess hat on it. It was delicious!
:+:+:+:+:
So I had a really fun birthday! I am such a kid at heart and look forward to playing with all my gifts.
Do you have special plans on your birthday?

OMGLITZY: My 27th Birthday

Monday, December 10, 2012

My 27th Birthday

So last month I turned another year older… I have finally reached that part in my life where I might start lying about my age 😉  .. Oh well!! I still act like a kid so I figured I’d celebrate like one.. My family and I ate at Gatti Town and had pizza! It’s definitely my favorite food ever. Afterwards, we played some games where I won a cute little dinosaur figure. Later, we opened some presents, and I got some Juicy Couture perfume, MLP collection toys, a Betsy Johnson and Kate Spade necklace and the coolest leopard hat! Then for dessert I had a strawberry cupcake. It was such a great birthday!! Thanks to my family for being so awesome 🙂
