And So It Begins...

Hello all!

So...my blogging journey begins! I am so excited to finally be doing this.  I've been interested in it for about a year and a half or so now, but I always backed down. My much-more-than-best friend (Jen) is really the one who encouraged me to finally get it going...so thanks, Jen!(Go follow her at thefreckledartist.blogspot.com ....she is a very talented, and very comical, artist!)

Before we get into the really good stuff, let me give you an idea of who I am and WHY I'm doing this...

My name is Victoria. 

Most people call me Tori, but there are still a few who prefer calling me Victoria. (Truth is, I prefer Victoria, too. But that's ok.) I'm a 20 year old college student studying Public Relations with a concentration in Event Planning. I have been dancing for 15 years, and am on the university dance team. I have a SEVERE obsession for weddings/anything bridal and make-up.  I could probably keep TLC's ratings up just by myself...it's pretty much the only network I watch (along with AMC's Breaking Bad...best show ever! Everyone needs to go watch the seasons on Netflix right now!!! Well, finish reading my blog first, then do it! mwaha) After I graduate from college, I plan on taking classes in cosmetology. I want to be a wedding planner who can do it all! I have 2 older brothers who are more like friends, and the absolute BEST parents in the world. I also have a sweetheart of a boyfriend named Michael.  (You will be hearing lots about all of these people in upcoming posts...)

I started All Things Girly because I am interested in just that...everything that has to do with being a girl.  Make-up, clothes, nail polish, dancing, fashion, hair, baking, crafts, organization, glitter, coffee...everything! I want to use this space as a place for sharing ideas, as well as inspiring girls to be happy with themselves.  I have always been a very self conscious person.  Girls always seem to have something on their minds that they are worried about..."Oh my gosh, my frickin hair just will not stay curled today." "Why am I so fat? Why do I have no self control?" "I want to wear leggings like everyone else, but my thighs are too huge." "Maybe if I were a twig like her, he'd be dating ME." "I'm never gonna make the team without a six-pack." GAHHHH!!!! Too. Many. Thoughts.  Trust me, I get it...I'm the leading culprit of this.  But in the past 5 months or so, I've really learned a lot. The key to being happy is to first be happy with yourself. So...I want to help girls find ways to be happy by being healthy...and Mod Podge and play with make-up while we're at it.  I'm crazy and silly, yet organized and professional.  Let's be friends!
