hey guys!
did you guys know that a few weeks ago i wrote an article called “my netflix obsession” i am doing the second part of that article today, so you can read that article here
so after I started next great baker, I started watching gossip girl (aka the darkest whole i ever fell through). so i began gossip girl and the obsession set in. it was even worse than an obsession it was more like a lifestyle.
i began thinking more and more like the characters, thinking about fashion more (which definitely wasn’t a bad thing)and wearing headbands like they never went out of style. But I freaking love that show, and i honestly wish i lived on the upper east side, and went to columbia (or even better YALE!!)
anyway, I hoped you liked this saga, I will continue this story little later.

hey guys!
happy school! my school starts tomorrow and I am really sad its starting. but new school year means new good things and new bad things too, but anyway lets get started!
my bonus school essentials are stuff i like to keep in my locker, and stuff I love for the school year.
#1: Krass and Co Sailors Delight Shorts: I wear a uniform to school, but I play sports, and sometimes during free block I like to go down to the weight room to work out. I love keeping these in my locker and when you go through this link you get 15% off right now!
#2: Portable Phone Charger: These are a must! I know my teachers don’t like to see our phones plugged in around the room, so this is perfect. You just bring the cord for your phone and you can charge it with this!
#3: Five Star Mirror White Board Combo: This is an essential for my locker. It gives me that little reminder on the white board part and then on the mirror i get to see me! How nice!
#4: First Aid Kit: This is perfect for in your backpack. You never know when you’ll get a paper cut or you get a headache and need advil. This is also a perfect size for carrying around.
#5: Day Designer Gold Stripe Weekly/Monthly 6 x 8 Planner: A nice planner is always a must for school. I love this one especially because it has a to-do list and i just LOVE checking things off!

hey guys!
how have you guys been doing? i hope well! well anyway today I am gonna share with you all of my favorite beauty products. I don’t use them too much though because I don’t wear makeup everyday.
okay, well lets get started:
2. Benefit Watt’s Up! Highlighter: This is such a simple lovely hi lighter. Its easier than powder and its just so simple. I love the blender on the other side.
3. Mario Badescu Special Healing Powder: This powder is perfect, its so matte over makeup, but it also works over nothing just to be a nice color powder.
4. Benefit Boi-Ing Concealer: Okay I have raved after this concealer before, but I am seriously in love with it! Its by far my favorite beauty product of all time.
5. Clinique ‘Chubby Lash’ Fattening Mascara: This is a new mascara but I seriously love it. I have blue eyes so this blue mascara is like perfect for me. Its not too light so it just gives a perfect tint for my eyes.
6. It Brushes Your Superheroes Full-Size Travel Brush Set: The It brushes are seriously the softest brushes I’ve ever used. They aren’t too expensive and not too cheap, because they feel great. Another plus side to this set is that these are the best brushes for everything you would need (I mean its not a full set, but its close to it.)
7. LORAC ‘The Skinny Palette – Black’ Eyeshadow Palette: This palette is from the Nordstrom Anniversary sale so its no longer available, but these are the best colors and lorac is such a nice brand!

hey guys!
i am about to start school in a few days and i wanted to share with you guys some of my favorite de-stressers!
okay lets get started!
#1: I listen to wave sounds (specifically this one!) and change my computer and iPad backgrounds (specifically this one below).
#2: Paint your nails. This one works for me! I use this as a well deserved break from your homework.
#3: Take a Walk. I usually like to go out with my dog and walk around in the neighborhood and destress. My dog is such a cute little guy he always brings up my spirit.
#4: Eat a healthy snack. I usually like to eat like peanut butter on something for that little boost of protein.
#5: Open the Window. Usually getting fresh air is helpful for de-stressing. Its actually really nice.
#6: Taking a deep breath in and out. Believe it or not, but this is actually very helpful and nice!

hey guys!
as you may (or may not) know i visited san francisco this past week. As part of my trip i visited colleges, but I also visited ice cream places every day of my trip.
here we go!
#1: bi-rite:
flavors tasted by me: blue bottle coffee almond chip and malted vanilla
flavors tasted by other family members (that i didn’t have): creme fraiche
review: this was by far the best place we tasted. the ice cream was so creamy and yummy! O.M.G. thats all i am saying.
#2: McConnells:
flavors tasted by me: turkish coffee and chocolate almond brittle
flavors tasted by other family members (that i didn’t have): eureka lemon and marionberrie, salted caramel, dutch chocolate and blueberries and cream.
review: this place is great! the flavors aren’t as “sure of themselves” compared to other places, but they have a lot of nice rich flavors.
#3: Doc Bernsteins:
flavors tasted by me: bubblegum
flavors tasted by other family members (that i didn’t have): cherry, chocolate
review: this place is just so nostalgic the flavors are very kiddish (in a good way)!
#4: Fentons:
flavors tasted by me: peach and green tea
flavors tasted by other family members (that i didn’t have): mocha royale
review: this place was very good, although the scoops were enormous. i was like “i could go for 2 scoops” and when it finally came i was like this is two baseballs! but the taste was really good.
#5: Humphry Slocombe:
flavors tasted by me: toast and jam and blue bottle vietmanese coffee
flavors tasted by other family members: n/a (we shared the two scoops)
review: flavors weren’t that good, definitely the flavor was not defined enough and not as tasty as we’d though it would be.
and my extra one!
gotts!
(this is a soft serve so i guess it doesn’t really count but it was really good!)
hey guys!
i wanted to show you guys my haul from july to mid august because I went on trips and got some cool things
*in no way am I trying to brag about what i have and i bought these all by myself with money i earned for myself*
first I got stuff from the lululemon outlet in gilroy
I got the Pleat To Street Skirt II and the Flow Y Bra IV
then, this was the best buy! i found at my local nordstrom this shep shirt from VV. I found this on the sale rack and it ended up being $50 instead of $125!! what a deal!
these are the next things i purchased
the UO Flamingo Makeup Bag, Voluspa Macaron Mini Candle, and a Day Designer
the last things I got was the medium teddy bow case and this bangle from kate spade.
