A Southern girl is a girl who knows full and well that she can open a door for herself but prefers for the gentleman to do it because it demonstrates a sense of respect. After all, every girl wants to be treated like a princess. She knows how to make sweet tea and grits while telling you everything about any football team in the SEC. She picks her battles and fights with the heart of a pit-bull while still maintaining grace and elegance. Her mystique is that of a soft-spoken, mild-mannered southern belle who could direct an army, loves her momma, and will always be daddy's little girl.

My taste in TV has certainly changed over the past few years. I no longer like the crime and mystery shows (CSI used to be a favorite of mine) and have moved on the the dramas and comedies. This week has been a wonderful week of premiers . A few of my favorites have been....

Modern Family: Season 3
I do not watch this regularly but I do enjoy it when I do. Our neighbors invited me to come over and watch the premiere with them seeing as I had nothing to do, I happily obliged! It was so funny, this premiere was definitely a crowd pleaser!



Grey's Anatomy: Season 8
Grey's was awesome! It was full of surprises and I was really pleased with the way it turned out! I have heard it rumored that this is the final season... is this true, does anyone know???? I sure hope not! This is definitely one of my favorite shows and overall the best premiere this week!



Desperate Housewives: Season 8, final
I was very disappointed with the premiere of Desperate! A lot of surprises came to light and we were left hanging. I am looking forward to next week when hopefully the show will redeem itself! I am really going to miss this show, I recently found out via twitter (@peoplemag) that it would soon be ending and I was really upset! I have been following this show for the past few seasons and it's great!



Pan Am: First premier ever!!
I was really excited to watch this show, there has been so much hype about it! Now that I have seen it, I think that I will see how it progresses. It looks like one of those shows that you can't miss or you will be lost. I don't think I will be much of an avid watcher, sad to say...

I am looking forward to:

Suburgatory!
I know that this looks like a super cheesy show but I think that it looks like it is going to be funny. I guess we will have to wait until Wednesday night and find out!


Private Practice!
This is another of my favorites!! I have been following it since the beginning and I am so excited to see what is going to happen next!! The finale was definitely a cliff hanger! Those are always the worst... but in a good way! haha

What are your favorite shows?

I am sorry that I have been a little MIA for the past week. I have been dealing with some pretty heavy things in my personal life and haven't really felt up to writing something. But don't worry, I have been keeping up with you girls! I will be back soon, I am just learning to rely extra hard on God and keep in mind that He has a plan for me. I know this is true, and always have; but advice is a lot easier given than received!

Have a blessed day,
mTa

Thought for the Day

lots & lots of glitter

Everyone has heard of them, or seen the recent trend of feathers in the hair. I personally am not a fan. BUT... I am a fan of anything with glitter! So when I saw a friend with tinsel in her hair I immediately wanted to get it! I am sure everyone has a lot of opinions about it but I am really pleased with the way that it turned out! It is very subtle and hardly noticeable but it adds a little sass! So a few sisters and I showed up to Haircut 101 on Thursday, before recruitment practice and had a blast having these tinsel extensions put in!
Here is how they turned out:


I got 2 gold and 2 pink.
I was messing with the pink this morning and accidentally
pulled them out. I can't wait to go back and get more put back in next week.


Brittany got 2 pink and 2 gold as well.


Rebecca's eyes are a vibrant blue so she got a blue piece of tinsel to accent them


Jordan got 4 gold and they looked great. she shows them off by pinning back her hair!

What makes you different?
