Follow Me Around: Iowa Adventures pt. 2

Iowa Again!
This past weekend I traveled down to Iowa, again, to visit my good friend Cassidy. I'm sure if you have been reading my blog you know who she is! 
We had a nice relaxing weekend in Iowa and it was so good to see her after 3 weeks (it doesn't seem long but it felt like forever!). While we were in Iowa we went to a lot of cute little cafes, restaurants, and I met a bunch of people from her home town. 


Here is Cafe Fresh which was in Moline, IL! I had a lovely steak wrap and it was super yummy. The decor of the restaurant was also beyond darling. I love this sign that was leaning up again the outside. They had a bunch of cute little chalkboards like this. 


The next morning we went out to breakfast with some of our Pi Phi sisters that live in the area! I had the waffle breakfast at the Indigo Cafe and it was very tasty. Around where I live there are NO good breakfast places so I was impressed with this delicious meal. Not to mention you got a lot for your money! 



Here is a picture from one of our nights. Yes we are very weird I know!


 The next day I went to one of Cassidy's family friends graduation parties, drove around, and went to see "the river" as they call it. Also known as the Mississippi river. We took a few cute pictures on the dock because we have to take pictures everywhere we go! 





On the last night we went and saw Maleficent which was AMAZING! I have been wanting to see it and it definitely met my expectations. I wont' ruin the movie for you but it for sure was not what I expected. They turn the story in a very interesting view of Maleficent and I love how they tied the cartoon movie in with this film. Overall, I would highly suggest you go see it! And lets be honest who isn't a sucker for a Disney movie?

Well that was my weekend in Iowa! What did you do over your weekend? Whatever it was I hope it was fabulous :)

Monthly Favorites

Food
Microwave popcorn, sweet tart heart suckers, breakfast pizza, and ruffles chips.
So basically I am obsessed with breakfast pizza. At my school we have a small convenient store in my dorm and they sell breakfast pizza and it is literally amazing. I basically get it at least twice a week. The bacon pizza is my favorite! But sausage is a close second.

 

With Valentine's day comes candy! This is my FAVORITE Valentines day candy of all time. I am super into Sweetarts or candy like that (if it's Wonka I most likely love it) so I have been eating these a lot! 

Planner freak 
This month I have been UBER busy. So my planner is my boyfriend (not literally but basically). I have been color coding, using flags, and I have recently been using a note list that I picked up from Target. Without my planner I would probably be dead and very unprepared. This month has been full of tests, events, and a bunch or other things that I have to remember to do!



Target dollar section 
I don't know about you but Target is my life. I have literally spent hours in Target just looking around at all of the cute stuff. The dollar section, specifically, has been on point this month. They have a new section in the dollar section that features a lot of cute stationary type things. I have been clearing out these areas at my local Target (not kidding). They have a variety of notebooks, to-do lists, pens, and other fun accessories! Be sure to check them out because they look straight off a Pinterest board. 


Fashion


I have been layering necklace a lot this month. I think they add an extra sparkle and more texture to a look. 


I think I will always be obsessed with this pearl necklace. It's from J Crew and I feel really cool wearing it because all of my favorite bloggers have it too.... So there is that! 



Also, J Crew has been a HUGE favorite this month specifically. I feel like I am always wearing something J Crew no matter what! 

Those are my February favorites! Hope you enjoyed :) 

XOXO

College Diaries: Zombie Burger | Des Moines, IA

Zombie Burger:
Des Moines, IA 

On Sunday my friends and I drove to Des Moines to try the famous Zombie Burger. Since I'm not from Iowa I am unaware of all these traditional food places. However, if you are EVER in Iowa you have to go to zombie burger. 
I have never tasted food so good let me tell you! They specialize in crazy and unique burgers and they may sound gross but boy are they delicious. I got a burger with barbecue sauce, bacon, caramelized onions, ranch, and cheddar cheese. It was probably one of the best burgers I have ever had by far. Then they had the most amazing french fries. I highly suggest the cheese fries. Normally I am not a cheese fry person but I devoured them! Then I also got a Berry Crunch milkshake. In other words I had a shake with captain crunch berry cereal in it. It sounds gross but it was so delicious. 

Overall this place is amazing and if your in Iowa you have to go!
