February Recap

3 / 1 / 193 / 3 / 19

It literally felt like I was just sitting down to write my January Recap, and here we are almost a month later with February under our belts! It’s crazy, those two extra days February is missing makes it seem like it goes by so much faster. February summed up in one word would probably be: chill. It was a really relaxed month- not a huge load of schoolwork, slow shifts at work, and lots of cozy nights at home. I didn’t get as many of my February Goals done as I’d hoped, but it just makes me more motivated for next month!

Weekly Wrapup #1

9 / 16 / 18

weekly wrapup

It’s so weird not to be doing a Friday Five like I normally do, but I think I want to switch it up and start doing weekly wrapups! With the Friday Fives I shared links/items I saw throughout the week, but these will be more of like an overview of my past week. Things I did, recent thoughts, weekend plans, and more!

August Playlist

9 / 9 / 189 / 9 / 18

august playlist

A little late, but I’m finally getting around to sharing my August playlist! August consisted of lots of driving. Between school, work, and up to three practices a day, I definitely had some time in the car to listen to music. Some of these are older songs from previous playlists, some are new releases that I’ve been loving, and some are ones that I would never usually try but after other people recommended them, I fell in love! Honestly a super random collection of songs but this playlist is one of my favorites.

LIVING FOR TUESDAY

1 / 23 / 182 / 1 / 18

Who else finds the best quotes from Pinterest? My “Words” board is one of my favorites because I love all the motivation and encouragement.  Recently I was scrolling through Pinterest and I found this quote about not just looking forward to the weekend, but to “live for Tuesday”. I freakin love this quote and I’ve been thinking about it a lot and how important it is to try to make every day a good day, not just the weekends.

DECEMBER 2017 TUNES

1 / 17 / 18

I always forget how much I love spotify premium until I get the three month Christmas special and become obsessed all over again. They had a deal for $9.99 for three months and I snagged it when I first saw the offer. I found a ton of good music in December. Taylor Swift (finally) put her new album on Spotify, Ed Sheeran’s duet with Beyonce was on repeat, and I rediscovered some old songs that I forgot I used to love!

How to Actually Enjoy Your Mornings

10 / 18 / 1710 / 16 / 17

Mornings are so hard for me because I’m always super tired and it’s so difficult to get out of bed. Now that school has started back and is in full swing, I’ve found it even harder to drag myself out from under the comforter and start my routine. But recently I’ve been thinking about ways to really enjoy your mornings and make them something to look forward to instead of dread. I realized, I can wake up five days of the week almost every week for the next 9 months and be cranky and in a bad mood or I can start to actually make the most of my time before school.

September Playlist

10 / 16 / 17

september playlist

This playlist is probably like my favorite one ever (or in a close tie with my Christmas Playlist haha). I got my license back in August but September was when I really started to drive more often, which means lots of fun music almost every day! I listened to these songs all the time and was constantly adding new music to the playlist. There are actually a lot more songs than these, but I rounded up my absolute favorites to share today! I know this is kinda late, seeing as we’re already halfway through October (where has the time gone?) but I hope you enjoy!

Reasons to Love Fall

9 / 11 / 179 / 10 / 17

Yay yay yay! It’s finally turning into fall! Slowly but surely, fall is coming, and I couldn’t be happier. I think this year is the most excited I’ve been about fall, and I’m surprisingly not as sad as I thought I’d be that summer is over. The other day I just started thinking about all the amazing things about fall and got so happy. Fall has so many fun aspects, from holidays (Halloween and THANKSGIVING), cooler weather, hay rides and corn mazes, and so much more. I decided to make a list of all my favorite things about fall. It got me even more excited just thinking about it. I also want to make a fall bucket list (last year’s bucket list!) and try to complete everything on it!

August Playlist

8 / 25 / 179 / 1 / 17

I haven’t done a playlist post in forever, but I love sharing my recent music faves! In this playlist, there are a few new songs that I’ve found and love, but there are also a lot of throwbacks. I basically went through my old favorite playlists and selected some fun songs that I’ve already loved. This month I’ve been listening to Vance Joy a lot as well, he’s always a go to artist with amazing music! I especially love his song Georgia, its’s so calming and he has a beautiful voice.

Spring Break Begins! + My SB Bucket List

3 / 11 / 173 / 11 / 17

It’s been so long since my last post, and honestly I know I say this every time but I have been extremely busy. In the two to three weeks leading up to spring break, teachers have started new lessons and chapters and then to finish off our units, this week I had 7 tests! But I finally finished up my last little bit of work today and I have a week off for Spring Break! I’m not doing anything super exciting, and sadly, I’m not taking a big trip or going to the beach. But I still want to make the Spring Break count and do a lot of fun things. A few weeks ago I was bored in class so I made a Spring Break bucket list of some things I want to try out and do. I’m always up for more ideas so be sure to let me know what you’re doing for Spring Break in the comments below!

DIY: How to Make Printed Whales

2 / 7 / 17

Hello everyone! This is my first how to/DIY post in a while- if at all- and I’m really excited to show you how to make some super cute printed whales! Back in eighth grade, my computer class was taught how to use a website called Pixlr, where you can edit and tweak photos and do some super cool things to them! I learned so many tricks to that website, and use it all the time! The other day, I was trying to figure out a design for our class t-shirts for my school. I had an idea in mind but wanted to see how it would look on the computer instead of a rough sketch. I played around on Pixlr until I finally created what I had in mind for the t-shirts, and then I started thinking. It would be super cute to take the Vineyard Vines whale logo and add fun prints to it! I’ve seen the printed whales everywhere but never knew how to create them. Read on for instructions on how to create your own printed whales!

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!
