Welcome to Mint Sparkles!

Well hello there y'all, and welcome to my little slice of the internet! Even though I am not totally new to the blog-o-sphere that we all know and love, this blog itself is new. So with that said let me introduce myself a little further so that you can learn more about the person behind Mint Sparkles!

These are just a few of the things that I love and that are sure to often make an appearance on the blog. The first one is coffee. Whether I am making coffee at home in my Keurig or grabbing one of my favorite Starbucks drinks I pretty much have coffee everyday, because it is AMAZING. My second favorite is cookies. Now cookies are one of the things that I love because first off they are my boyfriends pretty much favorite food ever, and second because they're delicious, and third because I really like baking and it's always fun to find new recipes for cookies. Kate Spade is my third favorite, and if you have never looked at her website or been to a Kate Spade store, you should. Last but not least, candles. I have way too many and I frequent Bath & Body Works just to check out their new candles (and foamy hand soaps!).

Another aspect sure to be a large part of my blog is of course my everyday life. So generally I spend my day watching a combination of Netflix & Hulu, and surfing the interwebz. YAY! But when i'm not doing that i'm taking pictures of my boyfriend & love S, and the adventures that we have together. We just recently went on a trip together, with his family, to North Carolina to visit his extended family and it was a great trip. (more details and pictures to come in a later post)

Now even though happy moments are technically a part of my everyday life category they still deserve their own special little place because everyone should take time to appreciate the happy moments both big and small. So here are my two most recent happy moments. One, I finally got accepted into a college with the right (and great) program for my degree! And two, I just recently celebrated a birthday and it was a really fun weekend spent with S and my family. 

Well there you have it. A little insight into what you can expect from my blog plus a little about me. I hope that you'll stick around and stay a while!
