Leap of Faith
I honestly can't believe that I'm entering into the last days of my high school career. My classmates and I have less than ten full days of school left! As cliche as I'm sure it sounds, this year has flown by in an blur. This blur has been full of good times, bad times, stressful times, rewarding times, smiles, laughter, and precious time spent with friends and family. Needless to say, my senior year has been filled with memories and friendships that I will treasure for the rest of my …

Friday Five
1. I've been loving Hunter Hayes's new song "I Want Crazy." 2. via Instagram This week has been so unusual! Monday there was no school, Tuesday was normal, then Wednesday was a late start as well as decade day. Seniors were assigned the 80s'! There were so many jean jackets, leggings with shorts, scrunchies, and side pony tails. On Thursday I went on a field trip downtown with my History of Chicago class and the picture above is from when we were on a Wendella …
Mini Makeover
Happy late start this morning! Three cheers for extra sleep and school starting at 9:00 instead of 7:45! Anyway, I thought it was about time for a mini makeover on Bowtiful Life, emphasis on mini. I decided to change the background to freshen things up. What do you think? Lucky Charms is is quite possibly the newest of my all time favorite Lilly prints so I thought I'd change everything up a bit and make it the background for the blog as well as my Twitter and Tumblr accounts. Aren't the …

Do you know how beautiful you are?
I was looking through various videos on Youtube the other day when I came across this video campaign by Dove. All I can say is WOW. I think that this video serves as a wonderful reminder that other people see the beauty within you even if you may fail to see it yourself.This video helps remind us that...1. The flaws you see in yourself are not anywhere near as obvious to others as they are inside your own head. Your biggest insecurity may be something no one has ever noticed.2. It's not just …
