Glitter Manicure

It's no secret: I LOVE nail polish!! I'm not one of those crazy people who has to have each nail perfect every single day, but I do love trying different colors and trends and I have to give myself a manicure each week. I put on my favorite show (currently: How I Met Your Mother) and go to work. One of my new favorite trends for nails is glitter nails. It's perfect for summer since the sun makes your fingertips shine, and it adds sparkle (literally!) to otherwise ordinary nail colors.

The Hub City Diner

While there wasn't much in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, my boyfriend and I did stumble across an adorable cafe that screamed southern charm. From the delicious homemade food right down to our waitress's accent, The Hub City Diner gave us a peak into southern living. If there's anything to say about the town, it's people are ridiculously friendly. They gave us cake! Orange cream-cicle cake to be exact. Plus each person we met at this quaint diner also gave us a smile.

Hattiesburg, Mississippi

The road to Mississippi was long and actually quite boring, but eight hours after we set out on our journey, we arrived in Hattiesburg. The Hub City, as it was called, is nestled at the southern end of Mississippi about 2 hours from New Orleans and an hour from the Gulf of Mexico. There honestly isn't much to this small town of the south, but we found one of it's treasures. In the heart of the city is the University of Southern Mississippi. It's beautiful campus almost seemed out of place among the modern amenities, but we enjoyed a good hour walking around and admiring the old buildings. Being outside was certainly a nice break from sitting in the car for so long.
