August Vlogs: 3rd through the 12th

Welcome Back!!

Keep up-to-date with all of the craziness going on in our lives with month with the next few installments of August Vlogs! 

August Vlogs!

Welcome Back!!

I have decided to vlog everyday in August for you guys, as well as for my own benefit, to showcase just how crazy this month will be for myself and Robbie. We have finally made it to the time of moving into our own apartment together and I want the videos to show just how happy, yet anxious, we really are. There will be some days where we will both be at work, but I will try to do something fun and interesting at least once a day for you guys! 

I hope you enjoy seeing my crazy, yet super exciting, month of August! 

Summer Look-Book

Welcome Back! 

Although I am still in the process of packing up my entire house to prepare for the moving process, I still made time this past week to help out a friend, as well as take some pictures for my own blog. A couple of the girls I used to work with created a collaborative blog entitled, The New Blak, and a couple weeks ago I was asked by to contribute to the first installment of Street Style. During the school year, Danyell, whom I've mentioned before for her own blog, Danyzell, will be approaching girls on campus who look super stylish and asking to take their picture. Since school has yet to begin, I agreed to help her out by practicing her first Street Style post. Being the lovely person that she is, she also agreed to help me out by taking a few extra pictures so that I could create a Summer Look-Book for you guys. To check out my appearance on The New Blak, simply click here!

I started laughing mid-photo but for some reason I just really love this picture! 

It might have been a tad bit sunny that day! 

I'm obviously still a child! 

I wanted to show off the rock I found! Aren't you proud of me? 

And yes, my butt got wet!

One of my personal favorites!

Thank you perfectly timed wind!

I had such an amazing morning taking all of these pictures with Miss Danyell and cannot wait to do it again. We both talked about creating different look-books for each other throughout the school year, so everyone should be getting excited! 

Well I hope you all enjoyed see my face multiple times! 

:)

Changes

Welcome Back!! 

Once again guys I was just stopping by to say that I am still alive. Over the past two weeks it has really began to sink in the I will officially, and for good, be moving out on my own on August 8th. Ever since that realization I have been frantically purchasing all of the home goods that I still need, as well as packing up all my belongings at home. Not only am I moving, but my mom is also moving a week after I am, so literally our entire house is full of boxes. On top of that I work 64 hours in the next two weeks, have to find time to have a garage sale, take care of my dog while my mom goes out of town twice, pay my first semester's rent, set up electric, have a photo shoot for a new blog that I will tell you all about, order and pay for all my textbooks, meet my new manager and hope and pray that she will be as flexible with my school schedule as my current manager, try my hardest to get back on schedule with blog and YouTube posts AND try not to collapse in the middle of all this. 

Thank you all so much for always sticking with me through the stressful and crazy times, but know that once I am officially moved in on August 8th I have so many new videos and posts to put up for you all! 

See you soon :)

Let's Talk About Bows!

Welcome Back! 

One of my favorite fashion trends has, and always will be, bows. No matter what personality or style preference, I feel as though bows have a magical ability to turn any ordinary outfit classy. When I think of bows, the first person who comes to mind is Audrey Hepburn, and who doesn't want to be like Audrey?

The bow in the outfit can be subtle, such as earrings, or the main focal point. Which ever way you choose to wear this fashion trend, I feel as though you cannot go wrong. My personal favorite pieces are my maroon and black chevron shirt from Charlotte Russe, complete with a large bow adorned on the back. As well as the shirt I am currently wearing, a black and tan chevron printed tank with a bow on the back as well. 

Of course I have multiple items on multiple Pinterest boards that have bows somewhere on them, and after having scoured through them all I have picked my favorites to show you guys! 

  

 

As I stated before, you can add simple bows to any outfit and it instantly becomes more classy. The earrings, ring and hair bow shown above are great ways to add a subtle hint of girlishness and class to any outfit.

For those who are feeling more brave, or for those of us who are extremely girly, the large bows above are wonderful additions to any outfit. The shirt and dress would seem so plain and ordinary without the added flare and pop of color given by the bows. The coat and bathing suit would still be cute and simple pieces to rock, but the addition of the bow brings even more pizazz to the already colorful pieces. 

I hope I have given you either the confidence or the desire to go out and rock either a small or large bow with your upcoming outfits, I know I will be. If you have any suggestions for outfit ideas that would rock with a bow, let me know below in the comments.

Recent Summer Obsessions!

Welcome Back! 

It's hard to believe that summer is already halfway over, but as I look back at all of the experiences I have the past two months I realize just how much I have come to love some new products! Whether beauty, fashion, food or entertainment related all of these things have become a large part of my daily routine. Whether that's a good or a bad thing is up for debate. 

EOS lip balm! I bought two at the beginning of the summer and this past week we got all new flavors in at work. It is taking ALL of my will power not to gobble them all up!!

Teen Wolf! When the first season came out I was all over it, but then quickly lost interest at the beginning of season two. However, all of season three I was hooked once again and now season 4 already has me addicted after only one episode. 

Batiste Dry Shampoo! Working multiple days in a row and not wanting to shower in my boyfriend's disgusting shower, dry shampoo has easily become a best friend this summer. Batiste dry shampoo, which can be found at CVS and Urban Outfitters is easily my favorite!

Cranberry Salad! About two weeks ago my mom brought home this cranberry celebration salad from the Kroger deli and I don't understand why but I absolutely love it and have continued to buy it since then.

Swimming! Of course I want to go swimming in the summer, but this year the desire has grown even worse. Maybe it's because I spend all of theses beautiful summer days inside at work.

Ice Cream! I eat ice cream all year round, but it always comes back with a vengeance in the summer time. It doesn't help either that the most delicious ice cream shops are located in Bloomington, Indiana.

My Watch! My watch, exactly the same as the one pictured below except with colored numbers, has become my savior recently. All throughout Disney World I would feel lost if I didn't wear my watch, and it's even worse at work. I need my watch to stay sane!

Instagram! As most teens and twenty-somethings do, I love Instagram and being able to share my experiences easily with my followers. If you aren't already, make sure to follow me :)

My Purse! Right before I left for Disney World my mom decided to be the sweetest woman in the world and buy me a new purse, one that would be easy to carry around all of the parks but still have enough room to hold all the essentials. Mine is navy, but you can purchase the white version from Charming Charlie.

What have you guys been loving so far this summer? Let me know in a comment down below!

Current Favorite YouTubers

Welcome Back!!

Having the past four days off work has lead to me being incredibly lazy and watching a ridiculous amount of YouTube videos. The other night I rediscovered my love for A Capella performances and stayed up until 3:30 in the morning just watching videos on YouTube. I did create an entire playlist of A Capella videos that just blew me away, so please go check it out! 

But today I will be discussing the YouTubers that have truly influenced me the past year to build my blog and channel and to honestly just feel more comfortable with myself. As usual in all of my favorite posts, they are in no particular order. 

MissMeghanMakeup - Everything about this girl makes me so incredibly happy. She is the true definition of being comfortable with who you are and not caring about what anyone else thinks. Plus….hello??? Look at her hair! IT'S BEAUTIFUL!!!! Make sure to check out her vlog channel as well, MissMeghanVlogs. 

Beautybaby44 - Lindsey was the first YouTuber that I fell in love with and I have since become addicted to her videos and her amount of confidence that she consistently portrays. As always she also has a vlog channel to follow, Livinlikelindsey. And fun fact for you, Beautybaby44 and MissMeghanMakeup are sisters! 

Bethany Mota - Easily one of the most influential and followed girls on YouTube, Bethany continues to blow me away with every single post. Her creativity and positive attitude about the world just makes me so happy. 

Grav3yardgirl - Bunny is by far the FUNNIEST beauty YouTuber I have found and her videos always make me want to go out and buy the most random things I can find. If I could trade lives with anyone, it would definitely be her! 

Michelle Phan - Could anyone in the world be more beautiful? The answer is simply no! Not that I could ever pull off any of the makeup looks she puts up, but they are all so incredible and daring! 

CiaooBelllaXO - Now she may not be the type of person I would usually look to for advice, but after watching all, yes all, of her videos, I feel like she has quickly become on my of absolute favorites for beauty and clothing advice. 

SarahBelle93x - Her randomness just drew me into her videos so quickly. She has such a unique and preppy style that is unlike most of the other YouTubers I follow. Plus, she is the only YouTuber I follow that is the same age as me. 

Hannah Shanae - Now I have mentioned this channel to you guys before, and how I went to high school with Hannah, but I wanted to share again just how much I love her videos and all of her style choices. Ever in need of something to wear, watch Hannah for inspiration! 

I hope I gave you all some ideas for new YouTubers to follow, as well as a desire to follow my channel as well! The links to all of my social media pages are located off to the right of the screen!

Also, I just learned a couple days ago that my friend Dustin watches my videos and reads my blogs, which is something I never thought he would do, so SHOUT OUT TO YOU DUSTIN!!! YOU ROCK!! :)

May Monthly Recap

Welcome Back!!

The month of May has seemed to drag on FOREVER to me, but when I take a look back at everything that has happened I can understand why. Let's take a look at all the craziness the month of May threw my way. 

On May 4th, I finally left behind the teenage world and turned 20! Since it was on a Sunday and I had to study for two finals the next day I didn't do much. My mom came down with my presents and we went out to lunch, and then later that day Robbie took me out for a birthday dinner! 

The entire first week of May consisted of finals and packing up my dorm room to finally move back home. Having met my freshman year and spending the entirety of my sophomore year in my dorm room, Forest (my dorm) has become a major staple in mine and Robbie's relationship. I'm not saying I'll miss living in a dorm, but there was a bittersweet moment as I locked the door for the final time. 

As many of you may know, I recently got a promotion at work to be a key holder and started my training and actually new schedule all during the month of May. I absolutely love it, and even though at some points it feels like the whole store is resting on my shoulders, I wouldn't change a thing. 

On May 14th I became a big girl and had my first surgery on my wrist. I've done a blog post  and a YouTube video about this experience, and all the troubles I ran into afterward. But having a wonderful mom and an amazing boyfriend who both took care of me made it all a little less scary. Also receiving beautiful flowers from my dad put a huge smile on my face!

A few days after my surgery I finally got to have my birthday dinner with my dad, grandparents and Robbie at one of my favorite restaurants in downtown Indy, The Old Spaghetti Factory! This was my first real trip outside of my bedroom in about three days, so it was wonderful!

And finally to wrap up my busy month of May, my best friend Amber recently moved into her own place and had a hilarious house warming/birthday party this past weekend. Living an hour away from all of my friends from high school the past two years has led me to miss out on a lot of fun times and laughs, but its always wonderful when I get the chance to be with everyone again. 

Even having worked my butt off this past month, I have still had time to discover some new favorite products. EOS lip balm and Batiste dry shampoo have been saving my life at work!!! They are both definitely worth the price. Of course I am still in love with Bobs Burgers and YouTube, which both take up about all of my time when I'm not working. 

If you haven't kept up lately I will be leaving for Disney World in one week and have been buying things like crazy. Make sure to check out my Pre-Disney World Haul video on my YouTube channel!

And The Bandage Is Finally Off!!!

Welcome Back!!

If you have been watching my recent videos on here and YouTube, you probably know that I had surgery two weeks ago to remove a cyst in my wrist and have been in a soft bandage ever since that I was not allowed to remove. But the sun rose on this glorious day and I was finally able to have my doctor cut the bandage off and reveal what I had been most interested to see, the scar!

Right after the bandage was removed.

I was thoroughly disgusted yet intrigued all at the same time. My skin hadn't seen light or water for two weeks and was all wrinkled up, itchy and extremely dry. Also, the fact that I could see my stitches poking out of my skin was a bit of a sickening sight. After doing very little I was finally able to wash it for the first which was very nerve-racking! But it did manage to remove some of the gunk remaining. 

After washing it for the first time! 

Then it was time for a trip to the physical therapy office where I actually received help, unlike form my doctor. Not that I wouldn't recommend him to others, he did a wonderful job on the surgery and was on professional and on time, but he consistently seemed a little distant. I received a couple pages off exercises to do in order to regain full movement of my wrist and hand, as well as resistant putty to build up the muscles once more. 

Of course having surgery wasn't on the top of my list of best experiences, but it was an experience for sure. I had never had anything like this done, and yes, I know it was very minuscule but I am truly proud of myself for being strong and not shedding a single tear, even when they had to try 8 times to get my IV in…

You may not know, but at the beginning of 2014 I deemed this year my "Year of Firsts," and surgery, of course will make the list. At the end of June I will be giving you all an update on that list to let you know how it's been going! 

My Pre-Disney World Haul!

Welcome Back!! 

WARNING: This video is not edited AT ALL. I figured I might as well show you guys that stupid things I do when filming, and sadly it is how I act 99% of the time. Also, I apologize for the words sometimes moving faster than my mouth, I am currently getting my camera fixed and then we will no longer have this problem! Enjoy :) 

Summertime Means Movie Time: Here Are Some Movies I Can't Wait To See This Year!

Welcome Back!!

Everyone knows that the best movies are always set to come out during the summer, and with June just around the corner I decided to show you all the movies I cannot wait to see the rest of the year. I know you're supposed to be outside enjoying the sunshine during the summer, but sometimes it just gets too hot and you need an air conditioned break; might as well see a movie at the same time. My favorite time to go to see movie is early in the morning, one because of the cheaper prices, and two because barely anyone else is there. If you haven't heard of or seen the previews for any of the movies listed below, please click on the titles to watch the trailers! As always they are in no particular order.

Maleficent - Anything Disney is always a must see for me!

Big Hero 6 - Once again, Disney!

A Million Ways To Die In The West - Hello! It's Seth MacFarlane!

22 Jump Street - Can't forget about Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum!

Think Like A Man Too - I just find everything with Kevin Hart so funny!

Tammy - How can you not laugh at this trailer?

Sex Tape - The worst thing that could EVER happen!

The Maze Runner - Why hello there Dylan O'Brien! 

The Purge: Anarchy - This looks INCREDIBLE compared to the first one! 

Let's Be Cops - Any guys dream come true! 

Alexander And The Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day - Disney once again, and also one of my favorite childhood books!

Mockingjay - I will DEFINITELY be going to see this at midnight!
