top instagram of the month | Sparkle and Shine

Hey, readers!

So as I’m being a good blogger and planning out posts and graphics for the next few weeks, I realized I made a blogging mistake. Yikes…

I realized I didn’t share with you my top Instagram posts from November and December!

In the beginning of 2014, I started by sharing my top Instagram posts each month with you to show you what I do when I’m not blogging and how I am living a sparkling life. I realized I forgot both November and December, so without further ado, check out my adventures from November and December from my Instagram account!

November:

I took a selfie and captioned in with a Taylor Swift quote… you know, because darling I’m a nightmare dressed like a daydream. Or just your typical #whitegirl.

I was inducted into Lambda Pi Eta, the national School of Communication honor society, the day after my sorority semi formal.

December:

And I honored my guardian angel, my daddy, by wishing him a happy birthday. I’m sure he partied it up in Heaven with more cake and cupcakes than words in this post.

December:

My semi date took me to his fraternity’s Christmas themed grab-a-date. Fa la la la la la la

I filmed my last newscast of the semester, as the Entertainment Anchor, with some of my fellow Q30 gals. To check out our last newscast, you can view it on the Q30 website here.

And to celebrate the end of the semester and having to separate from each other for a full four months, my big, little, and g-little all went out to a local Mexican restaurant. Ixtapa had a Christmas tree set up in the corner, so the Bad Girls Club decided to take the opportunity to get a true family Christmas picture. Feliz navi-diamonds!

To see what other adventures I a had in 2014, you can check out the previous posts for January, February, March, April, May, June, July & August, September, and October. Plus, you can stay up to date for 2015’s adventures by following me on Instagram.

Here’s to hoping that 2015 sparkles even more than 2014!

Happy April, readers!

It’s the beginning of the month, so you know what that means – time for me to share with you all my Instagram posts from March with the most likes. So here we go….

My first Instagram with my most likes was when I went to formal with my best friend, Julia. Since we are a year apart, we never got to go to prom together. This was the first time we both got to dress up in long gowns and dance the night away. But more importantly, yes, this picture actually was a candid laughing picture. Thanks again for supporting me as social chair throughout this event, J.

My second Instagram with the most likes was me dancing with Shemar at QThon, Quinnipiac’s dance marathon to help raise money. I wrote a post For the Kids all about the event. Shemar was suffering from severe scoliosis problems that requires him to get surgery every few months. However, thanks to QThon, Quinnipiac raised over $30,000 to help other children like Shemar. It was such an incredible experience to take part in this event.

My last Instagram with the most likes of March was in honor of one year anniversary of getting my big diamond in Alpha Delta Pi, Katherine. Katherine is one of the greatest blessings Alpha Delta Pi has given to me and I can’t imagine my life without her. I know that now that she is in my life, she will be by my side from now until forever. Except, my one year anniversary picture for Katherine was a few days later than most girls in my Alpha class because we had to have our own separate reveal. The week of reveal one year ago, I broke my wrist and had to go home. Therefore, we had our own separate reveal once I got back. Thanks for everything, Katherine!
