9th & Elm
For today's post I teamed up with 9th & Elm, a fun flash sale site that carries handmade and independent designs. I absolutely love the rose gold monogram necklace they sent me and I've been wearing it like crazy! I really like the classic style of the font and the fact that it's smaller (1.25" compared to my usual 1.5"). I think that the rose gold is gorgeous and a bit more unique than the common gold or silver monogram necklaces. They also sent me some super cute Lily & …
A Good Head & A Good Heart
“A good head and good heart are always a formidable combination. But when you add to that a literate tongue or pen, then you have something very special.” -Nelson Mandela Parents always talk about moments in which they feel especially proud to be someone's parent, but children talk about having these feelings with their parents much less. I think that a child's pride for their parent is underrated and seldom stated, so today I'm going to brag a little bit and tell you about a huge, recent …

Moving On Out
I am so happy that finals week is over and that I've been able to sleep in my bed at home these last few nights. I forgot how good it feels to sleep in! It's been wonderful to just de-stress these last few days. I'm officially all moved out of my dorm as of Tuesday evening and mostly all unpacked at home as of yesterday morning. (There's still a box or two to go through and organize.) Move out was crazy. My roommate and I decided to stay up for our last 24 hours on campus and we were able to …
