Hey lovelies, happy Monday! I did a post a while back about a company that I am absolutely smitten with, Ashley Brooke Designs. Today I'm so happy to be partnering with them to give away one of their adorable signature mugs! Being the coffee and tea lover that I am, I have quite the collection of mugs and thermoses, but my ABD mug is now one of my all-time favorites for sure! I'm a big fan of the phrase on the side, "dream big darling, really big." Especially with this being finals week, any …
Bowtiful Life Holiday Playlist ’13
It's that time of year again! Although radio stations started playing Christmas music in early November and stores started to put up holiday displays before Halloween was over, I tried to enjoy Thanksgiving as much as possible before completely committing to the Christmas season. Now don't get me wrong, I absolutely LOVE Christmas, but it's coming earlier and earlier each year. I like to give Thanksgiving the appreciation that it deserves. Now that Thanksgiving has passed, I'm in full on …

Social Media Sunday: Who to Follow on Pinterest
I don't know about all of you, but I'm absolutely obsessed with Pinterest. I find myself constantly pinning different outfits, dream houses, recipes, and DIYs while I'm on the shuttle headed downtown for one of my classes or killing time before grabbing dinner with a friend. One very important thing about Pinterest is who you follow. The people that you follow will really influence your boards, so it is crucial to follow people with similar interests and style OR someone who inspires you and …

Wisdom Wednesday: Positive, Patient, & Persistent
As you can tell from my most recent posts and activity on social media, I have been pretty darn busy in the last few weeks! This past week in particular was super stressful and somewhat rough, school-wise and beyond. After getting through the stress of the week, I've come to realize that I really expect quite a bit from myself... even more so than I previously thought. I strive to get the best grades I can, be as social and friendly as possible, be there for anyone who needs me, and get all out …
Chi Omega Semi Formal
I had an extremely busy and fun weekend last week! On Saturday evening, Chi Omega had our semi formal at Bar Louie downtown and on Sunday afternoon our chapter had slating (aka we picked our new executive board). I had such an amazing time on Saturday with everyone! I love getting dressed up for any occasion, but especially for fancier events like this. Before heading downtown with everyone, a few friends and I took pictures together on campus with our dates since everyone was all dressed up and …
Sweet & Southern
Since coming to college I've been asked one somewhat surprising question quite a few times. That question being either: "Are you from the South?" Or "What part of the South are you from?" There have been people from the Midwest, East Coast, West Coast, and even the South itself who've asked me this at some point. I was chatting with one of my friends about it one day in the dining hall and a random guy overheard our conversation and commented that he could hear it in the way I spoke. This …
