On my Radar

Currently: I am pretending like I don’t have a test tomorrow. So I’m here right now, making a blog post for y’all instead. GO ME! I haven’t done one of these in a while, so I figured, why not now.

Is it safe to say I am a S’well convert? I just got my S’well bottle in the mail two days ago, and to be honest I haven’t put it down since. This baby is 25 ounces of metal goodness. It’s cute and functional so it can’t get any better. I’m trying to get my 64 ounces in a day, and this is def helping.

Two // Evernote

I just discovered this note taking app in January, and I really really like it. Usually, I’m not a huge fan of taking notes on my computer, but this semester, I’ve been into it. Evernote is awesome because you can organize all of your notes in notebooks, tags, and even add graphics, import files and videos to your notes too. It’s been super helpful in keeping me organized for school.

GUESS WHAT Y’ALL? I REACHED 10,000 STEPS TODAY. What a feat. I honestly never expected that I would become so obsessed with counting my steps? This thing does much more than that though. It tracks sleep, steps, miles, and I can challenge my friends to step-offs.

Four // Tresemme Beauty-full volume shampoo + conditioner

I needed a new shampoo + conditioner regimen, and I saw a commercial on this one, so I picked it up from the drugstore. So far I like it a lot, it’s giving me a lot of volume! I love the reverse system – it’s actually saving me a lot of time in the shower. I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for something different!

Anything that’s been on y’alls radar lately? Let me know in the comments.

Until next time…

Life Lately | January Edition

How the heck is it already almost February 2016?! I still can’t believe it y’all. I didn’t get to do a recap of my December so I definitely wanted to make a point to do a recap of my January. So many fun things happened this month- NYE, going back to school, celebrating my 19th birthday, taking a few trips to NOLA, etc. Keep on reading to get the scoop on how January was for me.

Well truth be told, I took this picture at the end of December, but I love it too much I had to feature it in this post. My fam bam and I celebrated my big’s being presented into society as a deb in good ole Baton Rouge. The ball was such a fun time and there was even breakfast for dinner #blessed after a night of dancing.

Most low-key NYE ever happened this year. We made home-made pizza (which was delish) and then popped some champagne at midnight. Not to mention, we all wore our P J’s which made everything 1000x cuter.

To commemorate our wonderful winter break, we had tea at the beginning of January. I got Chai tea (I got it from my mama- we’re both obsessed with chai) and an english muffin with some strawberry jam. I always love sampling the tea everyone orders, and then deciding mine’s the best (lol).

I made this car decal for a coworker of mine. It’s about five inches big and I love how it turned out with the color and the font. Still trying to decide if I’d like to put these up on my shop… Let me know what y’all think.

Going green in NOLA. This ensemble was featured in one of my recent posts. Maddie, Zach and I spent the day in NOLA and took some fun pictures. Although it was super cold outside, we still had such a fun time romping around. How much do y’all love this green Ray Ban and green Hunter boot combo? I’m 10/10 obsessed.

Manicure SUNday this month was this creamy grey color… It’s such a change of pace from my usual Lincoln Park after Dark. Light grey hues are in for this winter, they’re so easy to wear with anything. PS: Shoutout to my sis, Cat, for the mug! Check out her blog here.

A super high quality picture for a super high quality birthday, right? Lol at me. 19 has never felt so good. My friends and family really made my day so special this year! NOLA and Baton Rouge couldn’t handle my crew… We rocked the socks off of both cities.

Just a lil something to leave y’all with…

This week has been a constant blur of work, blogging, and eating (I mean can it get any better?!). I’ve been keeping myself pretty busy by researching blog ideas- I’ve found one I think is so interesting- a weekly sort of round-up, if will. I’ll share links, movies, photos, books- pretty much anything I’m currently finding intriguing/interesting this week!

One // Eye-Catching Shoes That Made the Outfit

Abigail Spencer is totally rocking this vintage 1960’s vibe. Her graphic shift dress with exposed zippers paired with her emerald green and white Malone Souliers is making me swoon. I’m definitely taking some outfit insp from this one!

Two // 3D Printing Clothes

Y’all I think is just about the coolest thing I’ve seen. A fashion student printed a ready to wear collection entirely using a 3D printer. Her designs are so simplistic but so chic. And, the movement of the clothes- wow.

Three // Stitches by Shawn Mendes

It’s official, I’m obsessed. I’ve always loved Shawn Mendes and after seeing him on Taylor’s 1989 tour- I fell more in love. He is so humble, and did I mention he is adorable? This song has been stuck in my head all week, it’s so dang catchy!

Four // Gigi New York Desert Rose Zip Pouch

I’m in need of a new wallet, and I was browsing on Gigi NY’s site, when I stumbled upon this bad boy! It’s so adorable and it’s ON SALE (possibly some of my favorite words)! This color is perfect because it’s a neutral and will match with any purse I’m currently using! I think I may have to splurge and purchase this!

Five // Lemon Water

Yes I know this is random, but hey, it’s a favorite! I’ve been drinking lemon water by the gallon lately (I’m not even kidding). It’s super good for you! Lemon water acts a natural detox, as well as helping with blemishes, freshening breath, and it’s helping me cut coke out of my diet too (acts as caffeine)
