The Friday Five

1 / 20 / 171 / 19 / 17

It sure has been a while since my last Friday Five! This week has been really busy, I was surprised at how much homework I’ve had this week, plus some to do over the weekend! This week was filled with lots of soccer: my team had a few games and practices, and we made it to the playoffs! I’m super excited about this, especially since we won state last year and have a good chance we can do it again. Besides homework, I have a few fun things I’m doing this weekend, and I’m so glad it’s finally Friday! I found a few fun links this week, read on for more!

10 Bible Verses to Get You Through the Week

1 / 18 / 17

Happy Hump Day! We are halfway done with this crazy week. Even with the day off on Monday, I’ve been super busy and I’ve had so much homework. I’ve been obsessed with Pinterest lately, and I love all of the different quotes, verses, and sayings that are written in the cute fonts. These are great to use as a background, to print and stick where you’ll see it in the morning, or just to memorize as a reminder throughout the day. Today I’ve rounded up ten verses to keep in the back of your mind as you get through this busy week. Enjoy!

January Playlist

1 / 16 / 17

Recently, I’ve been really into music and I love discovering new songs. The past few months, I’ve been listening to the same songs on repeat because I absolutely loved this. For my January playlist, I decided to branch out and experiment with some fun new music. I actually really like all of these new songs, and I’m glad I found all these! For the monthly playlists to come, I want to start finding more and more music and keep on expanding my taste! This is a wrap up of my favorite songs of this month, enjoy!

Fun Patterned Socks

1 / 11 / 171 / 10 / 17

At the beginning of the school year, I had planned to try to dress nice almost every day. I had a bunch of outfits planned out and I organized my closet and got rid of stuff I no longer wear. I was going to try and make it the whole school year (or at least the first semester) wearing cute, nicer clothes. There are still some days that I wear those things, but I definitely haven’t been dressing up everyday like I had originally planned. On my lazy days when I wear something more laid back, it’s always fun to brighten up the outfit with a pair of fun socks! I see so many cute ones everywhere around school, and I’ve compiled a few of my favorites down below! Enjoy!

The Simplest Hair Tutorial EVER

1 / 9 / 171 / 7 / 17

Have you noticed that in almost all of my outfit photos I have the same hairstyle? If my hair isn’t in braids or a ponytail, it’s most likely in the same exact style every single day. It’s super quick and you can do it with just a ponytail holder and a brush if needed. The braid in it is super cute and even though it’s so effortless, it looks so good! Read on for instructions on how to create this braided crossover look!

Recipes on My To-Try List

1 / 7 / 17

Whenever I see a delicious looking meal on Pinterest, it always looks like it’s so easy to make and there are just a few simple ingredients. But I know I would never be able to make it look or taste like the given recipe does. I love cooking and baking, but all my creations seem to be a little misshapen. Recently, I’ve been finding a ton of recipes that look fairly easy and quick. These are definitely on my to-try list for down the road. They all look so good!
