the last week
patagonia fleece // black notebook // le pen // keurig // watt's up! lumnious // coffee mug // yurbuds // donut mac case // nike free 5.0 // iphone charger // llbean tote //
I couldn't help but feature a few of my favorite things (cough cough purple things) to help you make it through finals week. I love nothing more than packing my tote bag with my favorite things, opting for my glasses instead of contacts, and heading to my favorite cafe for some quality study time (which I may be doing right now!) My last final is this upcoming Friday and then I will be officially finished my undergraduate career! SO CRAZY!
Also, can we talk about that laptop cover?! You all know my deep love and appreciation for donuts; love it! I can't get any of my work done without my yurbuds & I love being comfy while I'm studying ! I also tend to look really tired after late nights and hours of reading, so I always make sure to use a little something to lighten my face/get rid of dark circles under my eyes.
What are you favorite things during finals week? I'm always trying to treat myself so I can make it through the week!
PS THE NEWEST ISSUE OF THE SMART GIRLS GUIDE IS OUT! MAKE SURE YOU READ IT BECAUSE IT FEATURES MY SOON TO BE ALMA MATER, #WASHCOLL!

Decision Day at WashColl
Happy Decision Day to all my high school readers!
College is the most life changing experience and I am so thankful that I chose to do it at Washington College. Four years ago today I chose Chestertown as my new home and today I finished my Undergraduate career!
It's scary how fast time flies.
Congrats to the Washington College Class of 2018 who will be joining this community in the Fall! You have made the best decision of your life!

b-e-a-utiful!
I've never really talked about my daily routine before when in comes to makeup and skincare!
These are my essential items that I use everyday and couldn't live without. I don't know where I would be without my Pond's Cold Cream...probably hiding in my room. Chloe always reminds me of Copenhagen since most of the Danish girls I hung out with wore this perfume. I've been using Bare Minerals since I was a Freshman in high school. I had some pretty awful troubles with acne and Bare Minerals was the only makeup that didn't make my skin react even more and totally gave me my confidence back. Even going to an all girls high school, it was still nice to feel like my skin was beautiful. I've never looked back. My recent obsession is Smashbox. I am so severely in love with their primers, especially their color correcting one. I not only blush easily but blemishes tend to make my face look all kinds of shades of red. And life's most important lesson, L'Oreal Mascara is the only way. With my tiny eyelashes, I've tried all the lash lengthening, volumizing mascaras out there and I will always come back to L'Oreal.
Items above include:
Smashbox Full Exposure Pallet // Smashbox PhotoFinish Color Correcting Primer // Chloe Ead de Parfum // e.l.f. Mineral Blush // Pond's Cold Cream Cleanser // EOS Sweet Mint // L'Oreal Voluminous Carbon Black Mascara // Bare Minerals Foundation
Do you guys have any staples for your daily look?
