Today I have lots of fun little things to share with you\u2026<\/p>\n

First off\u2026I have some news\u2026for the next two weeks I\u2019m going to be gone on a singing tour with lots of concerts and traveling, so I simply don\u2019t have time to keep on blogging. Don\u2019t worry though\u2026I enlisted some special blogger friends to fill in for me while I\u2019m gone and I\u2019m SO excited to share their posts with you! Since I had the sneak peak on their content, I can tell you it\u2019s super awesome! So this is the last post from me for a little while, but I will try to tweet and check in via Twitter<\/a>, Instagram (username is colourfulpalate), and Facebook<\/a>\u2026so you can follow me there.<\/p>\n

Also…we have the giveaway winners for NuNaturals flavoured stevia giveaway<\/a>! They are Kat<\/a>, Charissa, Kristin, and Amanda<\/a>! Congratulations guys! I know you will enjoy it!<\/p>\n

So many things have been making me happy lately\u2026<\/p>\n

First and foremost\u2026<\/p>\n

\"Study<\/p>\n

1. My courses are done for this semester and I\u2019m overjoyed! Finals were a little stressful, but I got through it and was pretty happy with my end marks. YES!<\/p>\n

\"Happy<\/p>\n

2. I\u2019m also obsessed with braids right now\u2026there are so many fun hairdos with braids\u2026I wish I could be more creative with my hair. Mostly I wear it down or in a ponytail, but once in a while I TRY to be creative. A tiny little braid was the best I could do last time I styled my hair, haha\u2026but it\u2019s a start and I still think it\u2019s cute! My sister-in-law just taught me how to French braid, so I\u2019m eager to practice it more.<\/p>\n

\"Popcorn<\/p>\n

3. This always makes me happy! I love popcorn! One of my new favourite ways to eat is with shredded cheddar cheese on top\u2026so delicious. Sometime I\u2019ll post the recipe (also an idea from one of my sister-in-laws \u2013 she\u2019s teaching me lots of fun things lately). I also love my sticky date popcorn<\/a> \u2013 great for weaning one\u2019s self off caramel popcorn.<\/p>\n

\"May<\/p>\n

4. I found this on Pinterest<\/a> and decided it\u2019d be a fun challenge for May\u2026and it only takes seconds to do, which is great for when you\u2019re traveling like me! Do you want to join in with me on the challenge?!<\/p>\n

\"Chocolate<\/p>\n

5. As for this piece of heaven\u2026it totally ups my happy factor. It\u2019s my healthy chocolate cheesecake<\/a> which you NEED to try! We had this the other day for dessert\u2026no carbs and very little sugar. I’m hoping there’s still a piece somewhere in the fridge<\/a>. Very doubtful.<\/p>\n

\"Shabby<\/p>\n

6. I saw this dress<\/a> on Shabby Apple and fell in love\u2026it\u2019s so darling. I\u2019m don\u2019t wear a lot of skirts, but I love dresses so much.<\/p>\n
