This past weekend, the weather in Chicago was absolutely gorgeous and I had the pleasure of attending my third Beauty Trend Show at Nordstrom on Michigan Avenue! It was awesome to see so many familiar faces both on and off the runway. I've only been to the Fall Beauty Trend Show in the past, so I loved getting to see the Spring side of things! I'm loving some of the trends this season and I've linked all the featured brands and products from the show in this post! …

It was great to see everyone and I'm so thankful for those of you who came or called in your orders!

Last night, the 58th annual Grammy Awards took place and I'll admit that I'm pretty darn pleased with the fact that Ed Sheeran won Song of the Year for "Thinking Out Loud." And can we please talk about that awesome mashup of "Let It Go" and "Hollow" that Tori Kelly and James Bay did? Oh my goodness. SO good. The stars weren't just performing on the stage last night, they also dotted the red carpet in gorgeous gowns. From big, classic designer names to up and coming designers, there were plenty …
Adventures: The Best Way to Learn
It's been a while since I shared a Wisdom Wednesday post, so today I'm talking about one of my current, favorite quotes: "& then I realized, adventures are the best way to learn" I took this photo just a few weeks ago while driving into the city with my mom.

When I looked through all my photos later that day, this one really stood out to me and I realized that it invoked the same feeling that I used to get as a little …
ΧΩ Recruitment ’16 Recap – Welcome to My House
Last weekend, Panhellenic Recruitment took place at Loyola University Chicago and my chapter gained 65 amazing new members!

I've found that I come out of the experience with closer friends each time and it is truly such a blessing and an amazing experience to boot! Today I'm sharing some photos and a few quick snippets …
