5 Kinds of People Needed in Life

So by now you've probably figured out that life is hard. You are faced with challenges that can take a lot of strength but one thing you will always need in life are people. Whether it is a friend that brings you food on a tough day or a stranger that pays for your food at Chick-Fil-A, people are always gonna be around and I have come up with five people you should have in life.


1. The Best Friend- It is pretty obvious that everyone needs a best friend. Someone that you can talk to in times of need. Someone to share secrets with and can support you as much as your parents. I was blessed with three amazing best friends. These girls have seen me through my bad times and laughed with me in the good times. They are absolutely amazing people and I am lucky to have them as my best friends.

2. The Teacher- In life you are going to fail. Many people, including myself, don't like this concept but it is inevitable. So in life you are going to need someone to guide you and remind you who you are and how you can improve yourself. I am lucky to be a part of a wonderful youth group with amazing leaders. They are there for me to guide me through and help me learn in hard times and there to celebrate the good times.

3. The Bro- I am a person that needs someone that won't over react to things and that is why I have my best guy friend who are down to earth and not as dramatic. These are guys in your life who will feel more like brothers than anything else. They will lend a shoulder to cry on and someone who will just listen.

4. The Jokester- Need a laugh? This is the person who will constantly make you laugh when your feeling down. My jokester is one of the funniest people I know. I can't be around them without laughing and when I am not feeling happy they can pick up my mood really quickly.

5. The Positive Thinker- Let's face it, there are gonna be days where every thought you think is going to negative. When I have days like these I go to my positive thinker. She can give me a positive outlook on life and on anything bad thought I have had.

With these people you have a strong team to go through life with. They love you and will always be there for you. Share this with your team and friends so they can create their team to!

Beauty Haul

Just like every other girl I am in love with products that soften my skin and make me smell good. Lately I have found some products and I have been given some new products that I am now obsessed with. August is just a great month for beauty with new products coming out and it is the perfect time to look for new products while getting ready for back to school.

So one thing I have to have on in the mornings is a body spray. I am one that likes the more fruity smell and right now I am in love with the Bath and Body Works Coco Cabana. It has Aloe Vera in it and it is super moisturizing plus it smells amazing. I definitely give it five stars.

Now I used to be a dancer and my feet can be pretty gross, so I am always looking for new products to help make my feet less gross. I have recently discovered the Avon Foot Works foot soak and it works wonders. You mix in the foot works with some warm water and soak your feet fo 15-20 minutes. You do have to order from the Avon website but it is completly worth it.

I also got a phenominal hand cream from Avon that it super moisturizing and leaves your hands feeling soft for days! I have dry skin and this really helps my skin stay moisturized and feeling good.

I hope you enjoyed this post and I hope you enjoy these products! If you have a product you want me try leave it in the comments or send me a tweet and I will talk to you guys later!

The Tricky Triangle

I am all for opportuniy and when it involves a weekend of racing it makes it a lot better. I got to spend a weekend with my mom in the beautiful state of Pennsylvania at Pocono Raceway. If you follow me on social media you probably got to see some of the people I saw but now you finally get to hear the stories.

For those that don't know about the 86 truck team, you guys are missing out. This team is based out of Virginia and they are working real hard right now. The truck is driven by Brandon Brown and they are sponsored by Coastal Carolina University. I have been fortunate enough to know this team through my wonderful sports marketing teacher. The team is so nice and so welcoming and I was able to go on this weekend trip thanks to them!

So on Friday I left with my mom at 5:00 in the morning to make our way to Pennsylvania. Once we got to Pocono we got out credentials and headed down to the truck garage to meet up with the team and let the weekend begin. Now let me tell you, for an aspiring NASCAR photographer being down in the garage and on pit road was an amazing experience. I got to be right there with the action and capture some really cool shots. So during the day I explored this new environment and at some point in the day I wandered over to the ARCA garage. For those that don't know I am close with the 55 team for Venturini Motorsports and specifically the driver Dalton Sargeant. So I got to go over and see Dalton and his whole team who I hadnt't seen in two months. Seeing these guys is always fantatsic and I always enjoy the time with them. So later that day we got to be down in their pit box for the race and Dalton finished 3rd that day.


The next day was all truck series though. I got to the track a little bit later than the team but I got there to found out that qualifying got cancelled which led to an uneventful morning. My mom and I did walk out around in fan fest and we watched the Sprint Cup practice for the day. Finally race time rolled around and I was down in the 86 box for a very eventful race. The team worked hard all day and ran up in the top ten until we blew a tire and finished 24th. Let me tell you though, this team worked their butts off to fix the truck and make the best out of a bad situation. After the race it was all buisness as the team cleaned up and made the long trip back home. They worked hard all weekend and it was awesome to be down there with them.

I can't thank the team enough for letting my mom and I come hang out for the weekend and be a part of the madness. Being with them was definitly a fun time and a great learning experience. I am so thankful for the time with them and the time with my mom. Pocono was a fun track to be at and they were just amazing!

Thank you guys for reading this post and supporting me. I know I didn't post a whole lot last month and like I tweeted I will hopefully be posting a life update to explain why that was but I can't thank everyone enough for being patient with me and still reading. I hope you enjoyed this post and I will talk to you all soon!
