2014 Resolutions Check-In
On New Year's Eve I put up a post called "My Resolutions for 2014 (& How I Plan to Keep Them)."

Fashion By Mayhem
I'm a little late in regard to blogging about this Instagram account, but I decided I still had to because it is absolutely precious! @2sisters_angie is an Instagram account run by a mom, Angie, who creates dresses with her four year old daughter (Mayhem), out of paper and other materials on a daily basis. These dresses vary from crafty replicas of Oscars gowns to creative and colorful, original frocks made out of construction paper. This little girl is ridiculously adorable and the …

I, by no means, consider myself to be an expert on blogging, but my 2+ years of experience does give me a bit of background and has helped me to build up some personal opinions on the do's and don't of blogging. Since it's been requested quite a bit, and I've gotten multiple emails recently, I've decided to put together a list of a few of my tips and …

This week has been insanely packed! Lots of my friends had midterm tests and I was busy with various meetings and plenty of projects. Luckily, I'm now on spring break for a whole week. Yay! One of my favorite ways to get through long periods of studying or doing homework is by listening to music that puts me in a good mood. This month's playlist features a few of these songs. (Pharrell William's song Happy never fails to put a big smile on my face.) Enjoy!~ Listen on Spotify ~What your …
Faith in Humanity
This week felt ridiculously long. However, I had a wonderful experience on Tuesday morning (after a very frustrating and upsetting discovery on Sunday night) which helped to renew my faith in humanity and reminded me to always have faith that good and honest people are all around. Let me start from the beginning... Last Sunday was a pretty packed day for me and I was not only on campus, but also off campus. That morning I put on one of my favorite bracelets, which I had received for my …
