hey all!
so, about a week ago, i made this post, about my bullet journal.
so as you might know, it takes a few tools to really use and make your bullet journal stand out!
so today, i wanted to share with y’all my favorite bullet journal tools!
so to start off!
i have a box full of my washi tape, cool scissors, stamps and ink box / michaels plain washi tape color pack / target tape ( this is one of the many that i own) / paper source planet washi tape
a lot of people love washi tape, but it is also really expensive! so its really good to buy the sets of washi tape at michaels or the dollar section at target has a lot of really nice washi tape for $1, which is super cheap!
next my journal
i have a leuchtturm1917 journal which is freaking amazing! it is perfect for bullet journaling because it has a built-in index and already numbered pages.
i specifically have the pink colored one with “dotted” pages which means that there are dots that would be lines.
on my journal, i have a monogram sticker from etsy here! and i have it in “style 2”
for my pens!
i love my pens so much, they are really the most important tool for me because i love bright and crazy colors!
so i have: stabilo / zebra mildliners / staedlter pens
i love the pens because they are all porous point, which means that they are like sharpie tips but have an extremely thin tip.
they are amazing pens are perfect for all writing and drawing!
hope you enjoyed!

hey all!
so officially i have had my first week of school!
yay!
but i have an incredibly hard time focusing back into school.
my mind is still on summer time, which seems like it could be a good thing, but it really is terrible.
i am still in the mindset that i can go home and watch netflix, and then start my homework in “30 minutes” but this 30 minutes turns into more and thinking that i can multi-task while doing things, but i really cannot.
and you know, i have golf everyday. so i get home around 6 pm because golf is 3:30-5:30
so i get home and watch an episode, and after one episode, i am completly ingrained in what i am watching and decide well now i can start doing chem.
NO KATE, you CANNOT watch One Tree Hill and learn about matter at the same time. sure, matter exists on the rivercourt in tree hill, but YOU DO NOT NEED TO MAKE A CONNECTION THAT WAY.
i focus better listening to music surprisingly even though, i recently i learned that its better to not listen to music (see my reaction here!)
so i just really need a way to figure my focus.
so if you have any tips for me for focusing please comment down below!
thanks! i hope you enjoyed!

hey all!
welcome back to another khat with kate! this is my monthly segment where i interview some of the blogs and the bloggers which i love to read!
today, on the blog i have…
this is a blog that i have been reading since the 8th grade, and this is one of the blogs which made me want to start a blog altogether, so i am super happy to welcome my interview between carly and i
lets get started! :
– When did you start blogging? 2008, I was right in the middle of my freshman year of college – How did you get into blogging? My first year at school wasn’t the easiest transition for me. I was struggling big time and desperate for some kind of creative outlet. A friend recommended that I start a blog… and I did!
-Why do you enjoy blogging? I love so much about it. I love creating content, I love the analytics, I love running a business. I REALLY love getting to meet people. -What do you like to do for fun? Watching movies, Reading books, Playing with the dogs, Practicing yoga and Going to the beach
hey all!
today is august the 21st and i officially go back to school in 8 days.
oh my god, EIGHT DAYS!!! via*
i am kinda excited but very scared because i still have alot of stuff to do before school starts
so naturally i still have stuff to-do, of course
so today i wanted to share what my to-do list still consists of at the moment:
label all of my school supplies
make my binder covers
you can download ones that i made here blue / pink / purple
follow the link onto the website : canva where you can edit and change to which class or block you want for your own binders!
put together your uniform / outfits for school days
put together my backpack
organize my essentials kit (advil, eye drops, mints/gum, hair ties/hair pins and lotion, etc.)
put together my locker
grab my carpet, locker shelf and mini white board
take a trip to costco
buy easy snack options and last minute paper needs
make copies of my schedule for around the house and different school supplies
i like to print out my schedule and hang it in different locations around my house to help to memorize my schedule
organize my desk area
organize my white / cork boards
throw away unnecessary papers, etc
i have to admit, this is kinda all i have to do except for homework!
so tell me what you still are having to do before school!

hey all!
so i don’t know if you have been reading m&mh for a long time, but a little more than a year ago i did a post of my favorite iPhone apps (which you can see here!) where i included the starbucks app, snapchat, human, after light and shop kick. so today i will be sharing my new / recent favorite apps.
so here we go:
VSCO : this is a photo editing / photo sharing app. it has the coolest filters and you can fix the strength of your filters ,etc. i really love this because it shares the photos that i want to share, but not sharing on instagram.
Waze : waze is a traffic and navigation app. it inputs the traffic in the area and you put in your location and this app takes you in the way with (hopefully) the least amount of traffic. this is also cool because it shows you where the traffic is terrible and where there is a policeman on the road and etc.
Pinterest : you all know pinterest! the app/website where you can store your things to save on certain boards and organize them! i love the iphone/ipad apps because its very easy to pin on the boards its easier with a touch screen.
Fitbit : y’all also know what fitbit is. its a pedometer basically that connects to your phone that shows your daily steps, helps to count calories, track how much water you drink and how many minutes of exercise you do.
Bookling : so recently i have been going to library and picking out more books to read and i have been reading more books for fun outside of school books. this app tracks the books that you read! its great!
hope you enjoy these and download these apps!

hey all!
if there was one place i wish i were right now it would probably be cape cod. the peninsula coming from massachusetts, the summer spot where the other coasters go to visit for summer.
so today with y’all I’m going to share some summer cape cod images!
here we go: via* via* via* via* via* via*
hope you enjoyed!
