As promised in this post, I’m chronicling my attempt to get rid of a bunch of stuff I don’t need. Although this post was supposed to be focused on clothes and shoes only, once I got organizing, I couldn’t stop, so I went through my jewelry and accessories, too! When I started the process (which [Continue Reading…]

Today, I Turn Off the TV for 40 Days
Why I’m Giving Up Watching TV I absolutely love to watch TV. I always have. My mind spins at roughly 400 mph every waking minute of the day (I’m an HSP…what can I say?), so watching TV is a way for me to escape my own mind in a way. It’s numbing, comforting, and very, very [Continue Reading…]
We Booked Our Honeymoon!
…Oh, how exciting it is to type this post! Wedding planning thus far has been really enjoyable, but there have been, of course, moments of stress and anxiety.

GET RID OF STUFF 2015
Wow, that’s an aggressive post title. I like it. This post needs a title as big as the task it represents–getting rid of a whole bunch of stuff! I’m single (for 168 more days 😉 ), I live alone, and I am the furthest from a hoarder that you could ever imagine. Still, there is [Continue Reading…]

I realize not everyone shares my love of to-do lists and preparation (thank goodness), so I’ve put together a list of what I do each weekend, usually on Sunday, to “reset” for the week ahead. I have to tell [Continue Reading…]
Wedding Planning Weekend
This weekend, I drove to Denton (where Riley and I will marry) for a wedding planning weekend! Along with our moms, we visited our wedding venue and met with our coordinator, trudged through boring important details, and shopped for my wedding dress! (Riley wasn’t invited to that part, though! 😉 ) My mom travels a lot for work, [Continue Reading…]
Current Makeup Routine
I first wrote about my makeup routine in this post back in 2012, and then again here in 2013. I am well overdue for a makeup update! I’ve always been a firm believer in light, natural makeup. I love to go darker and bolder when I have a special occasion, but day-to-day, I’m a five minute application [Continue Reading…]
17 Things You Should Definitely Bring When You Study Abroad
I’m writing this post for a few reasons. Mostly, because I get emails every single week with lovely readers asking what they should bring when they study abroad (they’ve usually read this post first). Also, because my little sister, Allie, flies out to South Africa with her best friend (and my second sister), Sam, for [Continue Reading…]
