*click on the links throughout to shop the items in this post* So this past weekend I got to throw my precious best friend & roommate an engagement party for her & her fiance. I have never truly hosted a party like this, so I learned that it was a lot of work but WOW was it fun. I love planning & hosting for others. So with this special event I decided to do a brunch with some breakfast foods & appetizers, along with a mimosa bar. For the mimosa bar I filled these ...
Day to Day Planning using a Day Designer
In college it is a definite must to stay organized [I would seriously go crazy if I was not]. We all have different ways of how we stay organized and what we do to keep balance in our lives. My particular way is to use a Day Designer from Target. You can get these for only $10!! In the past I was known to spend around $50 for the famous Lilly Pulitzer planners, but I have found that I enjoy the Day Designers a lot better & they work just as well. And in the front of these planners there's a ...
Black Makeup Washcloths… genius
So I recently received some of these black makeup washcloths from my boyfriends mom [yes, she rocks] & I seriously fell in love! Like guys, I wish I would have came up with this idea because how genius. I am always ruining perfectly good [white] washcloths when I take off my makeup, that was until I started using these cute things. Pretty much you all need some because 1. how precious & 2. you won't ever ruin a washcloth taking off your makeup again. They make wonderful gifts, that any ...
College Knowledge

It is fascinating looking back at the girl I was freshmen year of college, to who I am now going into my senior year.

If I would have known I was going to go through all the tears that I did my freshmen year, I probably would have ran... & ran real fast. If I would have known I was going to fall ...
Beauty Counter Review
So like any other girl, I am a makeup fanatic. I love trying new products, because you never know what you may be missing out on. I was recently introduced to Beauty Counter from my friend Anna, the owner of the blog The Paper Road. Beauty Counter is a company who provides safe products, getting unnecessary chemicals out of their clients hands. You need to take a look at their story & their mission more in detail, I promise you will be in awe just like I was. My favorite beauty ...
LWD with The Mint Julep Boutique
If you live in Texas, I know you feel my pain about how hot it has been. Which only makes me look forward to fall that much more [come on October]! In this post I am talking about how you can transition a LWD [little white dress] from the hot summer months, to the cool fall months [yes, white is allowed after Labor Day]. This dress from The Mint Julep Boutique [cutest name ever, btw] is more than perfect. If you haven't heard of this online boutique, then you must check it out ...
