Hi everyone,

If you follow me on Facebook or Twitter, you might have heard that I'm in New Zealand right now! I just got here yesterday to film some shows for FAWN (click here to check out the episode from our Wanderlust travel show where Andrea and I show you guys around Italy!). Here are a few photos from my trip so far...the adventure has only just begun!

Here we come!

This is me about to enjoy my first Meat Pie in Auckland...they're known for their delicious meat pies. Gonna dig in while I'm here!

The view from my window where I'm staying here. Reminds me to reach for the sky...

Hi everyone,

It's Friday the 13th today! Eek! Don't walk under any ladders today... O_O

Even though today may be an "unlucky" day, this past week was anything but... From Easter Sunday, to FAWN launching, to my birthday, it was a pretty incredible week. Here are some snapshots from it. <3

I uploaded the Luscious Lips tutorial, which you can watch here!

Started the week off right with a beautiful Easter Sunday service. Looks like Chriselle and I had the same idea when we were getting dressed for church. :P

Filmed some more with FAWN...

The first episode that premiered on FAWN went live Wednesday! This episode is part of the Wanderlust series - click here to visit Italy with myself and Andrea.

Rocked some clip-on bangs from Daven...

Had an amazing birthday / FAWN launch party with family and friends... (so many pictures to share with you guys - just have to finish loading them all!)

Was amazed...

And wrapped things up last night family style! Here's me and my sister attempting to play Just Dance with our Wii. So fun!!

Which photo is your favorite? Did you have a good week?

Hi everyone,

First of all, I want to say thank you so much for all of your birthday wishes. I had an amazing day and all of your kind thoughts and words did not go unnoticed. : )

The FAWN launch party last night was incredible. To me, the greatest birthday gift is another year of life… the gift of being alive and surrounded by wonderful people. So spending last night with family, friends and supporters… I could not have asked for anything more. <3

Here’s a look at what I wore to the party:

I loved all of the details on my dress… I think people were surprised by the hardware when we exchanged hugs though! And the shoes are pretty boss, too, right?

Don’t mess with those heels! :P

More pics from the party to come tomorrow!!

What’s your party look these days?

Hi everyone,

Today's a big one, you guys... not only is it the official launch of FAWN, but it’s also my 25th birthday!!! O_O

I’m typically not one to throw a celebration for my birthday--I think I’ve spent most of my birthdays up till now just at home with the fam, super low-key--but I figured if there ever were a night to go all out, it's for number 25. And we are definitely going all out. My birthday party and the official launch party for FAWN are one in the same this evening. You could say it’s a celebration of two very important milestones in my life. :)

To prepare for the year ahead, I've started a list of goals for my 25th year, which I'll be blogging about soon for you guys. Do you do anything to reflect on your birthdays?

Thanks for all your support and inspiration over the past year! Now it's time to party!!

Let me know how you've celebrated important birthdays or accomplishments in your life in the comments below!
