Hiya-hiya! Happy Summer guys!! Like what?! Summer is already here? Dudes, I seriously cannot wait for this Summer, and what it has in store! I have so many things planned, that I would really love to do to make sure that this Summer is one of the greatest! (Check out my Summer 2020 Bucket List here!)
Now, one of the first awesome things I did this month to kick off the Summer was a Girls day with mah best gurl-friend, Allie! (Who also happens to be an awesome fellow blogger, definitely check out her site here!) Anyways, we did this as an early Birthday present-little-celebration-thingy for her at the beginning of this month, and it was literally so much fun I just had to share what we did with you guys! I was so very happy to be able to do this with going so long without hanging out with friends so Allie, doing this with you was absolutely amazing, and that day will be forever cherished. ; ) #FirstPostOfTheSummer, let’s goooooooo! xD
Our beautiful day started of with taking a little shopping trip to Plato’s closet, which I didn’t get any pictures of, (And thank you again very much to Allie’s Mom for taking us on this lovely trip haha!) but we got a few super cute things! And YOU GUYS. I found Filas! They were perfectly my size, and only 12 bucks so yeah that was an awesome start haha! I wear those things all the time, I had been wanting some because they match my sense of style so well so bam! Anyways. Plato’s closet is my absolute fave store at the moment, they have some really cute stuff! We then headed over to Ulta where Allie picked up a few makeup things, and we picked up a charcoal face mask! (Which was later used that evening, and is shown later on in this post)
Mah Filas that I literally love so very much!
We were both fan-girling over our aesthetic shoes once we got back, which we took looooooooooots of pictures of. 😂 (Hey, we love our aesthetic shoe pictures!)
After our mini shopping trip we stopped at Starbucks for some quite tasty drinks, I must say! ; D I got a grande pink drink, and she ordered a grande Strawberry acai lemonade! Talk about yummy!
After all of that, we returned to my house where the adventure continued!
We sat down in my room and talked for quite a bit, and then took a short break to eat dinner! After we ate, we immediately grabbed out our cameras and had a ton of fun with those things! 😂 Here is a big ole collage of pictures that were taken!
What’d I tell ya? We love our shoe pictures! 😂 I love this picture of us both! (Left: Allie! Right: Me!)This ones a charm! (Thank you and credits to little sis Eliyah for kindly taking this picture 😜)We also brought out the lovely Instax cams!Thank you to Allie for snapping this pic as well ; )Guess what? More shoe pics!
After taking all of those beautiful pictures, we had a blast jumping on the trampoline and playing with chalk out back while my siblings tagged along!
Did anyone else spot the cheeseburger in the top left corner of this picture that my brother created 😂
Again, didn’t get pictures but after that Me, Allie, and my siblings went out front and watched some try not to laugh videos with water in our mouths and OMG GUYS WE WERE DYING this was literally a blast and it was so hilarious! 😂 I choked so many times from laughing so hard!
It was getting late at that point, and Allie had to go home at about 10 that night so we decided to go inside and start on face masks! We jammed out to some music while putting them on which like everything else that day, was a total blast!
I was actually expecting these face masks to hurt alot worse coming off (because of seeing people screaming in pain trying them) but it actually didn’t hurt at all. Depending on the type you get, the more it hurts but all it did was tug as it came off! Anyways, before we took it off me and Allie went outback to jump on the trampoline and look at the stars a bit while we waited for the masks to dry which was really awesome! We were cracking up laughing and I wouldn’t be surprised if we woke up the neighbors! xD 😂
They so perttyyyyy 😂😂 Ugly faces is just our signature thing
My skin was so smooth after taking the mask off, I definitely loved it!
We had a few other things planned for that night but unfortunately time seemed to fly so fast and we eventually ran out! Me and Allie definitely want to do this again some time and do a bunch more things we didn’t get to do in the span of just one day!
We drove Allie home that night, and I went to bed very happy!
Again, that day was so much fun and I will forever remember and cherish it! I can’t wait to do this with her again very soon! I am so very glad that God gave me the privilege of meeting and getting to be close friends which such an amazing girl! I love ya lots sis 😜
Thanks for checking out my latest post, let me know if you enjoyed getting a peak at our little girls day! I sure had fun putting this post together, and can’t wait to create another post soon!

Now, First are the questions that were asked by Allie!
1. What’s your all time favorite memory?

Now onto the questions asked by Eliyah!

2. Can you do a backflip? (Ground or trampoline)
I can on the trampoline! And I used to be able to do it on the ground but I haven’t done it in forever so i’d be scared to find out if I still can.

4. If you could choose one board game or card game, what would it be?
Either Clue, or Scattergories. Those are my all time favorite games to play!
5. Have you ever gone fishing before?
I have! Quite a few times, I have unfortunately never caught a fish before and I have zero patience for fishing most of the time. It’s a very peaceful and quiet activity to me though, and I like that about it!
