how to wear birkenstock sandals-the preppy way!

July 14, 2015

hey guys!

so as I have said before, I own a pair of birkenstocks, now people either love how these sandals look, or hate how they look, I personally love them! here are some cute ways to style birkenstocks!

here we go:

#1: The Preppy Way: You can pair birks with a cute sweater and a nice pair of pants. You can pair a oxford shirt with a sweater and jeans with white birks.

#2: The Casual Way: You can pair a cute pair of patterned flow-y shorts with a plain tee and birkenstocks for a cute casual outfit. You could also do a plain colored shorts with a patterned shirt.

#3: The Cute Way: You can go very plain, but very cute with this denim chambray shirt with these cute shorts!

#4: The Jeans Way: You can also go casual by pairing birkenstocks with boyfriend jeans! I like mine with the slim boyjean in kinsey wash from madewell.

#5 The Dress-y Way: You could also pair your birkenstocks with a dress. They are actually like super cute in this way.

hope you liked this!

Spruce Up Your Room for Summer

July 10, 2015

hey guys!

Today I wanted to share with you guys how I like to spruce up your room for summer! LETS GO!

1. Succulents/Terrarium Planters: I personally think that succulents and terrariums are the bomb. They are pretty plants with basically no maintanence so they are great decorations! Here is the terrarium pictured.

2. Nail Polish Storage: Okay, you guys are going to think this is crazy, but I actually think that this Nail Polish Storage is really cute and stylish. So I own WAYYY to many nail polishes, but I think just organizing the colors and puting them on my night table is just really cute! Here is where you can buy this.

3. Throw Pillows: This is such an easy way to make your room summery! I just pair cute quirky pillows that match with my plain pink duvet! I paired these two pink pillows and they match so well! Hello Beautiful Pillow and Flamingo Pillow.

4. Picture Hangers: This is just a simple way to decorate your room and add a little personal touch. I love to print pictures of me and my friends on this! Here it is.

I hope you guys enjoy this! And Comment if you like any of these ideas, or tag me on a photo on instagram if you do any of these things!

Summer Gift Guide for Girls

July 5, 2015

hey guys!

So I know summer isn’t really a gift giving season, but there are plenty of birthdays, and its harder to find gifts! here we go:

1. Shoes are always a good option! I like these Jack Rogers and these Heels. These are both very summery shoes, so they can practically open their gift and put them on!

2. Summery iPhone Cases are also great! I like these three (1) (2) (3) These are another one of those things that are perfect for summer, just open and put on your phone.

3. A Pretty Purse is such a good present! I like this Kate Spade Maisie Purse. This is just so pretty and summery.

4. Bangles and Bracelets tend to be a cheaper and really nice option for gifts! I like these ones from Stella and Dot (1) and Kate Spade (1) (2).

5. Athletic Shorts are also a great option for a Gift! I love these ones from Krass and Co. and They are just so easy to wear at home, and oh so comfortable! and for a bonus you will get 15% off when you follow this link and pick which shorts you want!

Easy Ways to Make That Much Needed Moola!

June 30, 2015

hey guys!

I know sometimes money gets low! And I wanted to share with you guys some easy ways to make money! Some of these are gift card programs, or apps to get gift cards!

here we go!

Download ‘Ride’ App: This is a free app that connects with you, to track where you go. You just travel any miles and Ride counts it for you! And points add up to gift cards!
Download ‘ShopKick’ App: This is also a free app. Just walk into stores, and this will give you points towards gift cards. This doesn’t work towards all stores, just the ones listed.
Sell Your Closet with ‘Poshmark’: This is also a free app, and a website. This is a site where you can sell clothes you have that you don’t want, or sell clothes that don’t fit.
Babysitting: Believe me, alot of families need babysitters. Just get your training from the Red Cross, and start putting up signs in your neighborhood, or contacting families that you know have little kids.
Tutor/Give Lessons: Are you good at anything in particluar? Playing the piano? Chemistry? Put up signs at your school or in your neighborhood saying that you offer lessons, and your price point.

These are the five things I suggest to get money! Hope you guys enjoy!

My Workout Routines

June 19, 2015

hey guys!

last tuesday I shared with you guys my favorite workout music, without showing you guys my favorite workouts! so here are my favorite workouts!

okay, I like to mix my workouts, I do several different things.

Shooting Hoops: I usually do the usual shooting hoops with my sister. When we shoot its usually 30-45 minutes. This is approximately 143-214 calories burnt for 30-45 minutes.

Driving Range: I usually go on the driving range for an hour shooting all from using my driver to trick shots that I need work on! This is approximately 211 calories burnt for an hour.

Running: I go on 2 mile runs. This is to keep myself together and in shape. This takes me around 20 minutes to complete, but I am getting faster! This is approximately 234 calories burnt for 2 miles.

Step Aerobics: This dance workout was originally not too fun for me, considering my dancing skills, but I am getting better! I do this for 30 minutes. This is approximately 286 calories burnt for 30 minutes of Step Aerobics.

Gym Routine: On the occasion of me going to the gym at my school (usually once a week after my summer school classes, or during the school year while I am not playing my organized sport.) I like going on the elliptical machine for a starter for 10 minutes which burns approx 80 calories (depending on the speed!) Then I go on a spin bike, where I read a magazine or watch a soul cycle class video to follow along. I spend 30 minutes at a moderate speed and approximately burn 375 calories. Then I do sqats (usually 50). On average at the gym I say I burn approx 475 calories.

Roll Out: After all of my workouts I roll out. This doesn’t burn calories, but its essential for me not to be in alot of pain in the next hours, or next day.

I occasionally do other things, but mostly these things. I enjoy going on the range, and it tends to be not so physically draining. I also enjoy the step aerobics because you get to listen to really loud music and dance really terribly.

Comment if you enjoyed this article and what is your favorite workout?
