If I'm being honest, I'm super picky when it comes to taking care of my hair and the products that I use. Hask gave me the opportunity to switch up my routine and try out their Superfruit Healthy Hair Collection and I'm absolutely loving it! For some background, I don't put much time into my hair routine and most days I just get up, brush it and go. It's rare that I use heat or product on my hair at all (I literally don't own a straightener and I've used a blowdryer …

Getting Organized with Day Designer for Blue Sky
It's no secret that I'm into organization and making to-do lists. You can ask any of my friends or family members and you'll quickly learn that my response to, "Can you hang out on ____?" or "When are you free to do _____?" is almost always, "Let me check my planner!" My planner is my lifeline, so when Blue Sky reached out and asked me to check out their 2016 Day Designer for Target line I couldn't say no! I used one of these planners last year and I can honestly say that it was one of …
Five Minutes with Cafe Breaks
Happy Memorial Day weekend! I feel like it has been SUCH a long week, so I'm incredibly happy that this weekend is finally here. During long weeks like these, I've found that if I'm feeling overwhelmed or stressed about anything it helps me to sit down for five minutes to get myself organized while having a cup of coffee or a snack. Cafe Breaks has combined these two things, coffee and snacking, to create a product that's basically an adult version of pudding, thanks to a coffee themed …
Finals Week with bkr
Featured: "gloss" bkr bottle & "holiday" bkr bottle ℅ Finals are approaching at an alarming rate and I'm still in disbelief with how fast this semester flew by! Isn't it crazy how the end of the semester has such a tendency to sneak up on us so quickly? One of my key "life hacks" for staying on top of everything, staying healthy, and feeling good during stressful and busy times like finals week is... hydration! I'm always carrying a water bottle around with me (seriously, ask …
Influenster Homecoming VoxBox
I got a fun package in the mail on Thursday... an Influenster VoxBox! I got my very first VoxBox last spring and I opened up my #HCVoxBox (Homecoming VoxBox) to find some great goodies to try out! I've included more photos and mini reviews of each of the items below so you can decide if you'd like to try them out too! Kettle Brand Potato Chips - Jalapeño These were alright. I'm not a huge fan of jalapeño flavored things in general, but I shared them with my roommate and …
Great Gatsby Movie Review (No Spoilers)
Those of you who follow me on Twitter are probably well aware that this past Saturday I went with a few friends to go see the newly-released Great Gatsby movie. I absolutely loved it! Ever since reading The Great Gatsby during my Honors American Lit class, in sophomore year, it has been my all-time favorite book. That being said, I must admit that I was somewhat skeptical that the movie would be able to fill the very big standards it had to live up to. After seeing the movie I …
Why I Love My Hunter Boots
As of this week, it's officially spring, even though here in Chicago it's still freezing! With spring comes spring showers, umbrellas, mud, and rain boots. I absolutely love my Hunters and know I'll be wearing them even more than usual in the next few months. ~Five Reasons I Love My Hunter Boots~ 1. They're great for both rain and snow. In the winter I like to slip in fleece inserts so my feet stay both warm and dry even during the craziest snow days. 2. They don't get uncomfortably warm and …
Shorts Story
Being tall as well as being a dancer I have always found it difficult to find shorts and pants that fit well in the length as well as the waist. When I discovered J. Crew's 3'' Chino Shorts and I found my perfect pair of non-jean shorts. It was like a match made in heaven!I own multiple pairs and they're extremely comfortable but very put-together looking. During the warm weather months I seem to wear them constantly. With so many different color choices it's hard to choose just one pair! I …
