hey all!
i missed y’all yesterday, but i had a crazy busy week and could not make yesterday’s post happen. this is one of the first times that i have genuinely missed a post which is sad! but i told myself if i missed a post it would be okay because i would probably be busy (which i am now!).
but besides that…
its fall one of my favorite colors for this fall has been red! so today i wanted to share with y’all a few of my favorite red fall outfits! lets go!

hey all!
seeing as the holiday season has started, (even though i would regretfully say that i wish it hasn’t) but since we have kinda been opening up into the thanksgiving season i say that the holiday season had begun, i think it is the fall feeling, but i have noticed that the meals i have eaten have gotten a bit heavier.
you know, the holiday season makes you eat, it is just fate. just the colder weather, which has made an impact in california (the temperature has gone down a little!) which means that i have to add an extra layer of blubber, yet i really don’t want to because that just means that i will just have to lose that fat in feburary, which is so hard because it soon becomes candy season and spolier alert, i love candy and its basically an unhealthy cycle of eating.
so now, i am trying to make a change during the holiday season. i am trying to eat healthier during the days and especially lunch to be able to have a better ethic on food.
so today i want to share with y’all some warm and hearty lunch meal options that will not make that calorie count go up (not too much at least!) .
so here we go!

hey all!
welcome to november, its now 11/1/16, halloween is over and it feels like we are really ready to go for this year, like i am completed and we are 10 months through the year and its genuinely so crazy for me, because 2017 will be crazy because i will finally be a senior, and that will be way too crazy, but i am not trying to get too far ahead of myself and try to live more in the moment instead of looking ahead because it often provides a not necessary stress for me, so let me get off of the 2017 cliff and focus on november, lets go!
so for november i have picked
gratitude
the word gratitude means “the quality of being thankful; readiness to show appreciation for and to return kindness.” (according to google). november is often the month of gratitude because of thanksgiving which is probably the most notable event in november (besides my half birthday which by the way is tomorrow!).
how will i try to be more ‘grateful’ this month?
this month, i will be trying to give back as much as i can to others. november for me is gonna be less of a me month, and more of how can i help my family and help those who seek in my community, or online. i will also try to be more thankful for the things that i posess, and want less, i would like to be less needy with material goods and more willing to share with others.
so, i hope you enjoy this journey through the month, i will have some exciting new articles and ideas to share with y’all for this month, get ready! and please feel free to share if you have any ideas for me for posts, like what y’all would like to see from me!
xoxo

hey all!
its october, and of course i am back with my ‘music in my head’ segment. this month i picked ten songs that i either listened to alot during october, or the songs that i could not get out of my head this month.
lets go!
here is my playlist:
so here is what i got:
- Bet On It – Zac Efron
- This is such as golf days jam! I would play with my gals and listen to this song, its just such as memory from the time and i people that i was with.
- Beware the Dog – The Griswolds
- My sister introduced me to this song about a year ago and i just started to listen to it again.
- Glamorous – Fergie
- This reminds me of gossip girl so much. I just spell out “g-l-a-m-or-ous” all of the time like I am not sure h0w it comes up so much, but I always think about it.
- My Type – Saint Motel
- This song is on the volkswagen commercial for the summer sale. this is so random but it has an awesome beat and awesome tune.
- LA Devotee – Panic! At the Disco
- THIS SONG! i listen to it while running, its super awesome because the beat is perfect and is super energetic for running.
- Thriller – Michael Jackson
- This song is perfect for halloween. I feel like this is the seasonal hit if you know what i mean.
- Thriller / Heads will Roll – Glee
- This is really an awesome mash up. i vividly remember seeing this on tv, when it originally aired for television.
- Uptown Girl – The Warblers, Glee
- I LOVED GLEE, so much. I especially loved the warblers, the all boys singing group. This is an awesome rendition of this song!
- September – Earth, Wind and Fire
- I am fully aware that this month is october. but I am still gonna listen to september and jam to it. this song is such a classic the beat is great
- Tainted Love – Soft Cell
i hope you enjoyed!

hey all!
guess what today is?
a very important day in the history of macarons and must haves.
its officially my two year anniversary… or what i like to say is my ‘blogiversary‘
i am personally so proud of how my blog has grown and become something that i LOVE LOVE LOVE to do and even something i have considered for a career in.
so in my intense feelings of nostalgia, i am gonna share some memories with y’all of my blog !
(my first post ever) – (first year anniversary post)
^ these are two SUPER CRINGEWORTHY posts!! i don’t even know why man, they are super short and practically contain no content at all!
y’all might not ever remember this (because it has almost been a year since i changed the name), but my blog used to be called macarons and marchesa and i decided to change the name to macarons and must haves because i decided to move away from the less ‘high fashion’ to the more baseline fashion that i actually wear and style in my everyday life.
i want to thank y’all! all my loyal readers out there for sticking with my craziness through thick and thin and for providing an audience for all of my insane and indecisive thoughts.
you guys are always here to help me whenever i need it most, and i thank you for all of the support y’all have given me from nice comments on the posts to nice comments in everyday life.
i hope there will be more years to come with your fabulous support
thank you…
just thank you.
i have the honor to be your obedient blogger

hey all!
guess who got her drivers license!
ME
so last two thursdays ago, september 15th, i took the test at the california DMV for
driving is super fun and really cool, but also really extremely scary. there is one minute that you can be on the road, and the next you could be flipped over on the side of the road.
and why should i worry so much, i think there is an importance within fear. this fear provides caution and allows for one to always been careful to make sure that you are paying attention for all of the necessary time that you are driving in.
i have learned so much from driving.
driving has taught me to be able to focus while listening to music and also that there is always something that you are missing.
if you are a driver, you know you do not only check once, but you check twice to make sure that you are not missing a car coming, because if you do, you will have exreme trouble.
so there is a really funny gif from bobs burgers of tina (the character with the bowl cut right above) from an episode where tina learns how to drive.
here is the clip
so watch it, its really totally funny, and very relevant to every situation. i just love the freedom that comes with driving, even though i only have really driven to go golfing alone! but it is something different!
i hope that you enjoy!

hey all!
do you know the feeling where you can’t really get a song out of your head! like you are sitting taking a test and all of a sudden selena gomez comes into your head?
well i have decided to share with y’all all of the songs that have been playing in my head all month this month!
here is my playlist
so here is what i have on my list, or what i found with myself that i was singing, like WAY too much
- Kill Em With Kindness by Selena Gomez
- as mentioned before, i was literally taking a test when this one came into my head. seriously i love this song so much, i sing it all the time! and all of my golf gals know :))) KILL EM KILL EM KILL EM
- favorite line: “Your lies are bullets. Your mouth’s a gun”
- Heathens by Twenty-One Pilots
- THIS SONG! first of all, it is from the suicide squad (which i have not yet seen, but i have heard that it is amazing). it is on the radio ALL THE TIME, which is probably the reason why i always find myself singing it!
- favorite line: “Why’d you come, you knew you should have stayed. I tried to warn you just to stay away. And now they’re outside ready to bust. It looks like you might be one of us”
- Closer by the Chainsmokers & Halsey
- Okay, this comes with a funny anecdote. At my school, we have a spoken word club where at lunch on friday anyone is allowed to come up and do a poem or spoken word piece. this can really be anything from something from a famous author, yourself, or you can recite the lyrics to a song. one of my friends went up and recited this song in front of most of the student body and i was just cracking up! it was so funny, and it has been in my head ever since.
- favorite line: “From your roommate back in Boulder. We ain’t ever getting older”
- Cold Water by Justin Bieber and Major Lazer
- this is just a total feel good song for me. its a pump up running song, or when i am golfing alone, i put in my headphones and hit balls crazy up in here like zach efron!
- favorite line: “And if you feel you’re sinking, I will jump right over
Into cold, cold water for you”
- Too Good by Drake & Rihanna
- first of all, drake and rihanna need to date. they both have such amazing musical talent which the world needs to see together more often. this is also one of my pump up songs, it is great when i am getting ready for an event, like putting makeup on.
- favorite line: “My friends always feel the need to tell me things. Seems like they’re just happier than us these days”
- Yorktown (The World Turned Upside Down) Hamilton
- HAMILTON, you didn’t expect that i would go through a music post without mentioning hamilton. so this unit in APUSH we studied the battle of yorktown, so i just listened to that like a bajillion times. AND it was actually super helpful!
- my favorite line: “I imagine death so much it feels more like a memory. This is where it gets me: on my feet the enemy ahead of me. If this is the end of me, at least I have a friend with me weapon in my hand, a command, and my men with me.”
- Take a Break Hamilton
- this is a total pump up song. i love the letter reading in the song, and the beat just makes me so happy.
- my favorite line: “My dearest, Angelica. ‘Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow creeps in this petty pace from day to day.’ I trust you’ll understand the reference to another Scottish tragedy without my having to name the play.
They think me Macbeth, and ambition is my folly.”
- Hurricane Hamilton
- THIS IS MY BELT SONG. now i sit in my car and pull the windows down and sing really REALLY loud to this song, so i love to belt out this song because its just so passionate, and intense.
- my favorite line “I wrote financial systems into existence and when my prayers to God were met with indifference I picked up a pen, I wrote my own deliverance.”
- Treat You Better by Shawn Mendes
- okay, so why is shawn mendes is so attractive!! his voice is so melodious and listening to it can be comparable to listening to an angel from the heavens sing. this song is my fave to listen to in the van on the way to golf with my team.
- my favorite line: “‘Cause I know I can treat you better than he can and any girl like you deserves a gentleman”
- Needed Me by Rihanna
- THIS SONG IS ULTIMATE JAM!! you don’t even understand, whenever this song comes in i dance, and if you know me, i am not particularly a dancer in any form, so its a little weird for me.
- my favorite line: “Didn’t they tell you that I was a savage? **** your white horse and a carriage”
i hope y’all enjoyed this post!!
