Hydrating Hair Care Routine
November 14, 2018
My hair went from too sweaty and sleek to dull and dry over the course of a couple weeks. Somehow, D.C. fast-forwarded through fall this year and went from sweltering heat to high's of 37 degrees (looks like I'll be staying inside tomorrow). Winter brings hot cocoa and gingerbread houses, but it also causes dry skin and a dry scalp. I've switched up my hair routine to better suit the season and since I'm already seeing results I have to share!
5 Steps to a Skin Detox
November 9, 2018
Halloween is over which means discounted candy and an abundance of baked goods as we look towards Thanksgiving. My skin reacts to what I eat, so the holiday season tends to make me break out like crazy. Between my sister's pumpkin pie and my own famous acorns, it's hard to limit my sugar intake. I've cultivated a holiday skin detox that I always employ after eating unhealthily, at it does a great job of mitigating acne.
Witch Hazel: The Spooky Ingredient You Need in Your Beauty Cabinet
October 31, 2018
Happy Halloween gals and ghouls! October 31st has never been my favorite day of the year. But, this year I'm embracing the holiday which means writing a spooky-themed skincare post. The only thing scary about witch hazel is the name, which comes from the old English name of the plant. However, I've been meaning to talk about this product on the blog for a while now and I figured today is the perfect day!
Biker Chic at the NC State Fair
October 21, 2018
Today's outfit is so far out of my comfort zone on so many levels. I'm not quite sure how to define my style, but I'd characterize it as feminine, preppy, and simple. This outfit, however, is almost the complete opposite of that and somehow I still love it!
Post-Workout Skincare Routine
October 6, 2018
I love the feeling of working out and pushing my body to its limits, but I hate the way my skin looks and feels when I hit stop of the treadmill or get off the spin bike. Over the summer, I was hitting the gym regularly in the mornings and I figured out a modified version of my daily skincare routine that takes my face from a flushed, sweaty mess to an I woke up like this glow.
Simple, No-Makeup Fall Makeup Look
September 29, 2018
I've completely given up on wearing makeup during the week. I'll do a full glam for going-out nights, but day-to-day I've been spending all of my getting-ready time on my skincare routine. It was peachy keen until I caught myself in the mirror the other day and realized that no amount of eye cream and moisturizer can hide the mid-term-season exhaustion from my face. So, I created the perfect, easy no-makeup makeup look to get me through the weeks without looking like a zombie.

Simple, No-Heat Hairstyles
September 22, 2018
A big part of having healthy hair, no matter which way you choose to wear it, is avoiding heat. I straighten my hair at least once a week, so on the six days in between, I try to avoid the flat iron at all costs. Sometimes it's unavoidable, but I've collected a couple simple styles that I can use no-heat necessary.

Go Greek
September 15, 2018
"Go Greek" is all I've been hearing and seeing around campus this week. Even though Georgetown isn't big on sororities and fraternities; the few groups that exist on campus are encouraging everyone they can to rush! But today, I'm not talking about Greek life in the Panhellenic sense, I'm talking about sandals.

The Magic of a Sweater Tank
September 1, 2018
Now that I'm all moved in and settled at school...happy FMOC (first month of classes)! This year, move-in was easy and kind of fun. Having classes with my friends has made for a comfortable and relaxing transition and I've been counting down the days until this outfit made its debut!
My Purse, It Has Everything

This bag is my end all be all. Seriously, I may never buy another purse again.

Visiting Cabo was the best way to end the summer. Our 4-day trip was the perfect combination of relaxation and adventure - what more could I ask for?

The Best Travel Outfit Ever
June 5, 2018
The day before my Hong Kong flight I was in Urban Outfitters (when am I not there) picking up another pair of my favorite skinny jeans (and they're super on sale!!). As I was wandering around the store, I realized that as much as I love those jeans (and I really do) I was not looking forward to wearing them for over 24 hours on the plane and in the airport. That's when I saw the dress.

Hi everyone! Today, I'm sharing the beauty & skincare products that I have to have on the plane. In my last life update, I mentioned doing a summer study abroad in Hong Kong. I leave in a few days so I'm taking a break from packing and writing this post.
How to Get Out of A Creative Rut
February 20, 2018
As much as I love blogging, every couple of months I fall into a rut and feel completely uninspired to write blog posts, post on social media, or be creative in general. I usually end up wallowing in it for a few days (or weeks) and then something sparks and I jump back into the swing of things full force! It works, but it's undeniably not the most efficient way to live my life. After a few cycles of this, I realized what always pulls me back: changing my look.
