Song Obsession

I'm keeping this post short and sweet because I really wanted to share a song that i've been playing so much the past few days.

"I Will Be There" By Odessa is such a beautiful song and believe me when I say, it's worth listening to!

Enjoy,

Steps to a Perfect Manicure

I am the pickiest person when it comes to my nails. It's so intense that I typically don't go to the nail salon to get them done and because of this I think I have become pretty good at doing my own nails. So, follow these five steps and you will be on your way to having a perfect manicure

End of Summer Bucket List

One month left.

I only have a little over a month until school starts. Summer will soon be over and the school routine will begin again. Although I'm very eager and excited, the thought makes me feel very glum. I've been thinking of ways to fully enjoy the last month of summer vacation and I decided to make an "End of the Summer Bucket List."

Money: Living on a Budget

As sung by ABBA, "Money money money must be funny in a rich man's world."
It sometimes really feels that way! Being a student and unemployed sometimes feels like I can't buy things for myself. It can be a little difficult determining the difference between my needs and wants and I wish I didn't need to. Unfortunately, our day and age is driven by those green pieces of paper and we need to learn how to manage it or we will have struggles for the rest of our lives...
Kinda depressing but it doesn't need to! I've collected a few tips that will hopefully help you become money savvy.

New Beginnings

Life is constantly changing and evolving and our reaction can make it amazing or absolutely dreadful. I recently attended my freshman college orientation and it finally hit me: my entire life is going to change. I seriously cannot believe it and while I am so excited, i'm feeling very anxious. This is a new experience that is going to completely define my life..it's extremely scary. Along with that, i've felt other aspects of my life changing especially my personal relationships, forcing me to realize that change is not subtle. It seems to affect everything all at once...at least in my life.

Ultimate Music Playlist

In my opinion, music is the essence of life! Ok that is probably a little dramatic but in all honesty the power music has in everyone's life is just so amazing. I can never go a day without music and I love how some songs are just able to express emotions I didn't even know I had. Some of the best times I've had involved a great playlist playing really loud ahaha. Because I believe you can really know someone by their taste of music, I compiled a list of some of my current and all time favorites (in no particular order apart from the first one):

1. Yellow- Coldplay
2. Unwritten- Natasha Bedingfield
3. Rather Be- Clean Bandit
4. Windy- Scarlet Pleasure
5. The Age of Worry- John Mayer
6. True Love Way- Kings of Leon
7. Smile Like You Mean It- The Killers
8. Feel So Close- Calvin Harris
9. Wake Me Up- Avicii
10. Falling- Haim
11. Latch- Disclosure
12. Breakdown- Jack Johnson
13. Red- Taylor Swift
14. Edge of Desire- John Mayer
15. Milk- Kings of Leon
16. That's the Way It Is- Celine Dion
17. All Too Well- Taylor Swift
18. The Face- Kings of Leon
19. I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For- U2
20. Sugar- Maroon 5
21. Radioactive- Imagine Dragons
22. Dreams- The Cranberries
23. The Real Her- Drake

The list could go on and on but hopefully this will refresh your current playlist :)
