As a home decor nut and budget-mindful college student, I am always looking for fun ways to spruce up my space without feeling guilty about spending a fortune! I've come to realize that part of the fun in decorating is finding a way to "cheat the system". I love gaining inspiration from high profile magazines and architectural blogs, and then working to create a similar look on a budget. Here are some of my favorite ways you can easily add some character to your space without taking out a second mortgage!
I'm usually not one to stray from my signature scent (Chanel Chance, I'm lookin' at you), but when the hot & humid summer days strike, I find that keeping a rollerball with me wherever I go is an absolute must! I mean come on, I'm practically sweating my face off over here, so I'd rather not be worried about how fresh I smell. Here are my top three fragrances to-go! Definitely comment below and let me know what summer scents you love!
A few days ago, I tried my hand at a cupcake recipe that has officially changed my life! (Ok, ok, maybe that's dramatic but guys, this cupcake is sooo good!) I was in the mood for something chocolatey and decadent without being sickly sweet. I decided to make a rich chocolate cupcake with peanut butter frosting, and let me tell you-it was freaking delicious! I had to share the recipe because this guy was too good to keep to myself!
As much as some of us might hate to admit it, we live in a society that is pretty dependent on our mobile devices. (*cringes in self disgust*) Nowadays, there are thousands of apps on the market that claim to do this and promise to do that, and quite frankly-it can be super overwhelming. I've compiled a list of the 5 apps on my phone that I find to be the most useful & ones I think everyone needs!
Truth be told, my nails never really look that great. I am a chronic nail picker and my cuticles could use a heavy duty overhaul, but that doesn't stop me from attempting to make my nails look presentable. When it comes to painting them, I am a no-fuss kind of girl. I want a polish that is easy to use and will hide most of my mistakes. Calling all pastel nail polishes!! I love pastels because they are flattering on my pale skin, they appear to elongate my fingers and are super easy to use because unlike obnoxiously bright colors, making a mistake with a pastel is not that hard to correct! Here are my favorite shades at the moment...
It's official-June is here and once again, the previous month has flown by. I wanted to put together a little "series" on my blog that would highlight a few of my favorite items of the month. You could categorize this kind of post as your typical monthly favorites, but I'm hoping you will see it a little differently. Instead of highlighting a group of products from the month before, I just wanna chat about anything and everything that made an impression on me during the time. I'd love your feedback, so feel free to let me know what you think in the comments!
