temporary tattoo giveaway

Hello hello! Just a quick post to giveaway a little baggie of super cute temporary tattoos from Love Unstoppable! I can't tell you how obsessed I am with these. It took pretty much all my will to not snag one or two of those unicorns :). Not to mention how cute the little "c'est la vie" and "carpe diem" ones are. Inspiring quotes FTW!I usually use henna for temporary tattoos, but lately I've...

hair bow tutorial

Hello hello. Here's a tutorial of how I do my hair bow. It's super easy! Also I've never done one of these before and it was 100% the most awkward thing. But anyways, I hope it makes sense!XOXO- - - -...

some life snippets

Are you tired of these half-real-photos-half-iPhone-photos posts yet? HA. I am, but it's just so hard to lug a huge camera around in addition to my school backpack. After this semester I'm going to challenge myself to PHOTOGRAPH and not IPHONE…GRAPH. Who knows, who knows. Start with the bad quality, end with the good, right?Sometimes in the mornings when I'm getting ready, I look out the window and...

i got a job!!!!!

YOU GUYS. Exciting things are happening over here!I got my first, real, adult, not-just-anyone-can-get-this job! I'm super excited because my work history has consisted of the dinosaur museum's cafe at Thanksgiving Point, Mimi's Cafe for like a second, Beans and Brews, Starbuck's, back to the dinosaur museum, and then to a different Starbuck's. I liked *most* all of those jobs, but it feels sooooooo...

a you're-almost-there giveaway

Hello hello! I'm getting so close with being done with school I'm having a hard time getting motivated to do the work! I know it probably sounds dumb, but if I have cute notebooks, or a cute backpack, I want to put it to good use and it gets me motivated to push through!I recently discovered the glory of computer cases. My computer is getting pretty scratched up and I debated between whether I should...

lately

I lost my red lipstick and have been so sad. I ended up ordering a new dark purple thinking it would be fun to try a new color, but I just really miss the red haha. Luckily, I got another email from Delta Skymiles saying there were offering 10 sky miles per dollar spent at Nordstrom, so I took that as a sign that I should just give up hope on finding my red lipstick and buy a new one.Ended up being...

study break

Hello hello!! Yesterday Leah (who did these photos) and Riley invited me on their photo adventure. When you can take a study break and photo adventure, you do take a study break and photo adventure, right???Anyways, basically I'm just really happy that beanie and sweater weather is here at last. It truly is the most wonderful time of the year! Jake and I have been getting all of our Christmas...

a happy list: 37 + iPhone diary

We finally tried Masa! We went on Halloween and literally there was no one else there haha. Anyways, I'm still probably not the biggest fan of tacos (mainly I should have requested no onions, but I apparently don't know myself very well), but the plantain dessert was DELISH. Also excuse me because most of the pictures on my phone are of my dog. She was a dinosaur on Halloween, and then my mom...
