Happy Thanksgiving!

I am incredibly lucky to live the life that I live and Thanksgiving is the perfect time to slow down and think more specifically about the many things I'm thankful for and remind all the important people in my life just how much they matter to me. I hope …
Finals Week with bkr
Featured: "gloss" bkr bottle & "holiday" bkr bottle ℅ Finals are approaching at an alarming rate and I'm still in disbelief with how fast this semester flew by! Isn't it crazy how the end of the semester has such a tendency to sneak up on us so quickly? One of my key "life hacks" for staying on top of everything, staying healthy, and feeling good during stressful and busy times like finals week is... hydration! I'm always carrying a water bottle around with me (seriously, ask …

Bowtiful Relaunch: New Site, New Layout, Same Bows
I am so incredibly excited about today's post! Some of you may have noticed that I've been a bit M.I.A. recently and that the blog was down for a few days this weekend... As I mentioned in one of my recent posts, I've been working on majorly improving the behind-the-scenes aspects of Bowtiful Life in the last few weeks. Specifically: making the blog easier to browse on both computers and mobile devices, organizing the various sections of the site, and most importantly, making Bowtiful Life as …
How SWEET it is to Grant Wishes!
Do you know that warm feeling you get in your chest and cheeks when you can't stop smiling because you're just so happy?! After this weekend, it's quite a familiar feeling. On Sunday, my chapter of Chi Omega held our 5th annual dodgeball fundraiser for the Make-a-Wish Foundation! (I talked a bit about Make-a-Wish, our event, and our fundraising efforts in this recent post.) The event was Candy Land themed and a traditional bracket-style dodgeball tournament. Our initial goal was to raise …
“Party Dress” Bowtiful Wallpaper – November ’15
Hey lovelies, happy Monday! It's been a while since I've created a new bowtiful wallpaper. I absolutely loved the last one that I released, so I haven't felt like changing it, but it's been almost four months and it's time for a refresh!I really like the central visual that I ended up going with for this wallpaper and the fun vibe that you get from the quote! There's something very classy yet playful about the watercolor script with the ribbon. Also, the holidays are quickly approaching, so …

November ’15 Playlist
Happy November! Halloween is over, Thanksgiving is right around the corner, and Christmas won't be too far behind! I'm super excited for December to come and I always see November as an in-between month of the year as I wait anxiously for the holiday season to kick into full gear. However, even "in-between" months require some great music! For this month, I've been loving a variety of songs, but I think my #1 out of all of them would have to be "Hello" By Adele. I'm so excited for more new …
