Hey Y'all! The end of July is here! I know. It's crazy, right?! When August rolls around, I begin to acknowledge summer's end. We all hate to admit it, but school will be up and running in only a matter of weeks. When you are in high school, "school supply shopping" becomes less of a big deal. There is no longer a need for all of the fun little stuff you used to pick out when you were younger, and basically the only things in your cart are a couple notebooks and folders. But one thing I will ALWAYS buy is a planner. Planners are one of my favorite end of summer purchases, A) because I get to shop in the stationary section and come out with something actually useful :P,  B) because planners sure do keep you organized and being organized is the best way to start a school year off right, and C) because there are so many cute planners out there to pick from! Your choices are endless. Sometimes picking out a planner can be a bit overwhelming. But have no fear! That's why I have created this post! Today I will be reviewing and comparing two of my personal faves, the Lilly Pulitzer Large Agenda and The Day Designer. By the end of the post, you will know which is the best fit for you!

Travel Series No. 5: Michigan Travel Blog

Good Morning! You have already heard a lot about traveling on the blog recently but that's because all of the adventures that summertime brings are my very favorite part of the season. Recently, I got to spend some time relaxing in beautiful Northern Michigan with my family. Spending time in nature is super important. There is something about soaking in Creation that is so rejuvenating. Today on the blog I am keeping it casual and  sharing some pictures from the trip per request. I'll also be talking briefly about a few of the fun things I got to do and things I discovered on the trip.

Birthday OOTD

Happy Monday! It amazes me that it is already July 18th. Where does the time go? My twin sister and I celebrated our birthday yesterday. Birthdays are always so much fun-- and the perfect day to wear your favorite items and look extra cute! Today I'm sharing my birthday look from yesterday.

Journaling: Collab with Eloise Edition

YAY! It's been another great summer weekend. I am super excited about today's post because I am collabing with one of my good friends, Eloise. Her blog is called  Eloise Edition and is so wonderful! I am obsessed. Go and check it out for yourself to see why! 

As some of you may know from my previous posts, one of my favorite things to do in my free time is to write in my journal. I find it relaxing and it is a great creative outlet. Eloise loves to journal too. Today we have teamed up to give you the ultimate peek into our notebooks.

Healthy Eats: Acai Bowls

Hello friends! Hope you all have been enjoying these first few weeks of summer. I sure have! I'm not as busy and have more time to be at home, which is really nice, but being at home means more trips through the kitchen... and that means more snacking.  I have noticed that my snacking habits haven't been the healthiest (my weakness is chocolate covered almonds from Target hehe). So today I decided to share an easy recipe with you for the perfect healthy breakfast or snack.

It is hard to scroll through my Instagram feed without seeing these super trendy (and photogenic might I say!) Acai bowls. Acai bowls are basically thick smoothies topped with granola and fruits. They are absolutely delicious. I can't wait to share this recipe with you all!

For this post I teamed up with one of my best friends, Catie. She is from a large city and came to visit me in my hometown for a little while. One of her favorite things to do is to grab an Acai bowl after exercising. I am from a small town and there are not any places near me where they sell Acai bowls.  Catie has tried all sorts of Acai bowls, so she helped me come up with the perfect recipe to share with all of you. 

Concert Outfit Inspiration

Good morning! Can you believe it is already July!? My summer seems to be flying by, but I've been loving every second of it! A couple weeks ago, my friends and I went to the Selena Gomez Revival Tour Concert. It was an absolute blast. We had so much fun. It was one of those nights that was sad to see come to an end. Summer seems to be the prime time for concerts, so I want to share what I wore with you.

Boho Betty Bracelets

Hello friends, happy July! I hope you all are having a great week! I am super excited about today's post. A couple of weeks ago, the company Boho Betty reached out to me and asked if I wanted to be an ambassador for the company. After browsing through their line of adorable bracelets, I had to say yes! I purchased a bracelet and it just came in the other day. I absolutely adore it! It is my new go to accessory... I don't think I have gone a day without it since it arrived!
