Need some Christmas gift ideas for your friends? Don't go away check out my video here. :)


XX,






Many people love to say that the hardest people to shop for are girls, which is why I made this video. I hope that this helps you out in you gift shopping endeavors. In this video I tell you all of the gifts I'm wishing for this Christmas. Hope this gives you a few ideas of what you can ask for this Christmas :)

I know that this is slightly out of the norm for my blog, but I felt that it was totally necessary for me to post outside my posting schedule. This past week I published an article on my local odyssey page and hope that you will benefit from reading it. Here's the blurb! \/

Do you need a reason to vote this election season? Check out my latest article on Alabama's Odyssey page. Be sure to comment if you do check it out and share with friends. :)

With fall now fully in the air, it's hard to ignore the vampy lipsticks and sweaters filling our workplaces, I thought it would be a perfect time to post a set to give you some inspiration so that you can get into this trend. ou can style darker colors with a variety of shoes from docs martens to converses to ballet flats. Fall fashion is just so very versatile. Don't forget to tag me if you decide to try any fo my ideas.

XX,


Today I have some very exciting news for you guys! In the past 2 weeks that I have been away I have been busy working on my article for my weekly column on Alabama's Odyssey page!! That's right I am now a contributor for my town's online magazine. I'm super excited about this next step in my high school career and hope that you guys will support me as well, by reading my articles and commenting on the posts. In case you need a little extra incentive I've also decided that I will hold a giveaway here on my blog as soon as I hit 5,000 views cumulative on my blog and on the Odyssey's page (so long as it happens before May of next year).

I regret not posting throughout the summer, but to tell you the truth my summer has been pretty hectic. Believe me when I say I have many reasons for not posting from having to return 2 brand new laptops for a plethora of reasons to not having any downtime at school, to say the least, my life is hectic. As some of you know, I am a high school sophomore, the one grade that is never featured in Hollywood movies. You always hear about the freshmen and the seniors and even the rare junior, but never the sophomore, but I digress the start of this year has been a whirlwind of cross country, work, and school drama. Ya know the norm.
At the same time though I have realized that I need a place to vent about life (outside of school and youtube) and truly express myself as a person which is why I started this blog in the first place.

I hope yo will continue to watch (and read) as I show you guys more of my life. :)

Check out my latest YouTube video!!




I recently made a video on how I got highlights in under 30 seconds. Don't believe me? Check out the video I just posted last Saturday.

XX,




In case you didn't know the past few blog posts you've been reading on this blog have been written wayyyy in advance, because I am currently living it up (God willing) in Washington D.C. My family decided to make a roadtrip out of going there and we're going to stop at a whole bunch of colleges including Harvard, Yale, UNC, and Duke.

1. Less is more.

One thing I learned as I've returned from my 9 day roadtrip is that half the clothing I brought wasn't even worn. When travelling it's best to keep it simple. Bring only one pair of wedges or "fancy" sandals because depending on where you travel you may prefer wearing chacos or tennis shoes.

2. Bring your classic staples.

Anything you can wear with multiple things or are versatile in the way they can be worn should be packed.

3. Bring your camera & extra film (if needed)


I think that this is pretty self-explanatory. No matter where you go you'll want to take a bunch of rocking photos.

4. Don't forget your charger!!!

I think that this is pretty self-explanatory.

5. Check to make sure  you have enough space on phone.

Move over all photos on your phone to your computer so that you will have plenty of storage space.

6. Bring snacks and plenty of money.

Depending on where you go be prepared to have to pay tolls. (My family ended up spending $100+ on tolls alone.)

XX,



In case you missed out on my accidental posting last Thursday here's a video tutorial on my everyday makeup routine. Before you watch though I just want EVERYONE to know that I DO NOT wear this much makeup everyday and I wear it because it makes me confident.

That's right I don't wear it to look "pretty for a guy" or "impress the girls" I do it because it makes me feel good and confident in my own skin. Now that I've finished my "spiel" check out my video. :)
