Happy New Years from OKCGlam!

(all dressed up on New Years with this handsome gent :) I can't think of anything sweeter!)

 

Happy 2014, everyone! I am so excited and ready for this new year.  2013 has been a great learning and growing experience, but I am ready for the new year upon us!

(Hey it's me and my sissy!)

 

Ringing in the New Year was hands down one of my favorite NYE's ever. It began with a coffee break using my new Keurig (which I'm obsessed with) with my sweet friend Courtney.  It was followed my ice skating, and then some drinky-poos with alot of my favorite people.

 

I don't have any perfect pictures of my outfits, but I much prefer these with my sweets anyway! I wore a form fitting sparkly dress with black tights, wedges, and a white blazer. Oh yes and us girls also rocked these show girl inspired headbands because, well, why not?!

 



I have alot of goals this year.  First is to definitely blog MORE. I've enjoyed it so much but I really want to kick it off to share my interests with everyone more and also just to have a creative outlet for all the things I love.

Second, I want to really practice enjoying being me, and keeping a good attitude.  After a few years of feeling like I was on a winding trail and forgetting who I am, I can tell that I feel undoubtedly myself again.  I am really happy for that.

Third, I want to continue my work in showing compassion every day. Whether its just holding a door for an old lady, or hugging my pet kitty cat, or high fiving one of my students, compassion is undoubtedly important. I have been so very blessed by compassionate people I want to continue that chain!!

What did you do and wear for New Years?? Did you make any resolutions?

Happy 2014, everyone!

Meet OKC Glam

Hello World!

My name is Amanda, and this is my new blog! I am so excited to start posting here and sharing my life, adventures, creations, and inspirations.

     
A little about me. I am a 20-something female reigning from the mid-midwest of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. I love my dear Oklahoma City and the way we are growing. It is not the most fashion inspired place, but I want to share the joys and beauty I find in it every day!! (Pictured is the OKC Downtown Skyline, and a little team I adore called the THUNDER!!!!)

 

I am an art teacher full time.  I love my students and have learned alot in the 3 years teaching from these little friends (and yes I really am that pale).

I dabble part time in just about everything else, especially local modeling, arts and crafting, fashionista-ing, exercising, and the list goes on.

 I am religious and spiritual it tends to be something I keep more to myself as a special thing between me and God. BUT I will say it is important to me to be a light and love for others to shine God into the world. :-)  You may hear about these musings from time to time. Trust me I respect everyone's opinions and I am just as happy to hear any side whether it's my thoughts or not. You never know what will spark something in you!

 

I find the most important thing in my life is to find inspiration and give it to others where you can.  I have started exploring blogland about 6 months ago, and I love finding so much insight from other bloggers and learning not just about their style but their lives. 

 

 

  I hope that my little corner of the internet here will help share my own adventures, inspire, and for me to be inspired as well!

Xoxo,

Amanda
