I Said Yes to the Dress

As I talked about in my last blog, I went dress shopping this past weekend; well, kind of went dress shopping. I modeled for House of Wu and was hoping I would find my dress while I was working. My wish came true and I found the perfect dress!

Because this was a pop-up type buying show, set up in a hotel conference room, there were no mirrors. I barely had a room to change in. When I would try on dresses for buyers I couldn't see what I looked like in them, but I still knew the moment I put on this dress it would be my wedding dress. I didn't have to look in a mirror to have the bridal feeling, but when I did, the feeling was amazing.

My best friend Emma ended up going to Columbus with me and helped me throughout the day. She saw me in the dresses before anyone else did. The moment she saw me in my dress, she started crying. I started laughing because I hadn't even seen the dress myself and she was already crying. Then I walked out to show everyone and the sales rep, who is a friend of my mom and me, also started crying. In the midst of all this, my mom walks into the room for the first time that day and instantly starts crying. The room was so emotional, even the buyers I didn't know before that day started crying. This was when I knew it was my dress. Keep in mind, I still haven't seen myself in this dress.

I continued trying on different dresses for buyers to see but I couldn't stop thinking about my dress and how bad I wanted to see it in person versus the pictures I'd seen of it. So when it starts slowing down, I decided to put my dress back on and head around the corner to the mirror in the bathroom. As soon as I saw myself in this dress, I started crying and shaking and I have NEVER felt like that in a dress before.

I am so thankful I had my best friend and mom there with me. It was the most amazing experience and I will remember that day forever. As much as I want to post the dress here, there is a possibility Anthony will see my blog. I definitely don't want Anthony to see the dress before the wedding, so here is a picture of a different dress I modeled on Saturday.

Snapchat

I remember when I first downloaded Snapchat. I remember thinking "I have to look presentable every day now because people will actually see what I look like every day." For everyone that doesn't know, Snapchat is a social media app that started at just a way to communicate by sending pictures back and forth. It has now advanced into a form of social media. You can share stories, which are pictures or videos that everyone you are friends with on snapchat can see, and you can see different magazine type subscription stories. Now that I have had Snapchat for multiple years, I don't know what I would do without it. I snap my friends on a daily basis and it's basically the root of all my laugher. Now you can make snap groups, which means you can have multiple people in a group and you can send pictures to the group like normal group message, and I have so many with my friends. We send anything from drama we want to spill to TikToks in these groups and it is so much f...

Birdin' Around Town

One of my new favorite activities is Birding. I found Bird's in Atlanta, Georgia two years ago and every time I go to any city that has Birds, it is a necessity. You're probably asking what Birds are. Bird is a company that has placed motor scooters around cities to help with transportation and help with the carbon footprint. Bird has created a fun yet helpful way to get around the city. It is super easy to use as well. All you do is download the Bird app, add a credit or debit card, then you're set. When it's time to bird, you pull up the app and scan the bird you are wanting to use. Once you scan it, it will begin your ride and you can ride for as long as you want. The more you use the app, the cheaper your rides become. When you're done, you select end ride and take a picture of your scooter to prove you didn't wreck it. This concept is so smart and a great way to show how technology and social media is growing everyday. Who knew you would be able to driv...

Dream Job Became Reality

When you hear someone is a model what do you picture? A beautiful girl with flawless hair, skin, makeup? Maybe someone that's really tall and slender. Yeah, I did too, well until I had the chance to model myself. I never in a million years would have imagined that I could have the opportunity to model for anyone at all. I am 5 feet, 5 inches tall, I weigh way more than a typical model and I have more visible muscle than most girls do, but this didn't prevent me from booking my first modeling job in 2016. I was so excited because I had traveled to shows with my mom to buy dresses for her bridal and formal store for a few years already and every time I wanted to model so bad but never thought I would get the chance. Like I said before, I did my first show in March 2016 and I have continued modeling since. I have modeled for two dress designers; Rachel Allan and House of Wu . With a job this like comes traveling, but I can't complain. I have traveled to cities like Chica...
