Baseball Game

Good morning! Here are some pictures from yesterday. My dad came into town this weekend, so yesterday he and I went to the Cincinnati Reds vs. the St. Louis Cardinals baseball game. My dad moved to St. Louis last year for work, so I don't really get to see him that often :(. By the time we got back yesterday, it was a little late to post the pictures from the game. So here they are! (And I promise I will get an outfit post out later today. I know, I know, two posts in one day is madness for me haha). We actually had really good seats for the game. They were right at the end of the first baseline! And guess what guys!!!!! I caught my first baseball!! Well the ball boy actually threw it to me after a player hit a foul ball, but hey still counts, right? After the game we got sea food for dinner and it was really yummy! See you all later today! Hugs <3

Every Day Makeup

Hellloooo readers! Today I decided to do a post of my everyday makeup and some of my favorite products to use. So without further intro, let's just get into it :)


This is the MakeUpForever HD Foundation. I have had this bottle for four years because I only use it as a concealer. I hate having makeup all over my face! I'm still five at heart and need to be able to touch my face haha. It works super well as a spot coverage though. It's really good at hiding blemishes, and it doesn't feel too heavy.


Okay this is my Holy Grail product. This is the Clinique High Impact Mascara. It is my absolute favorite mascara! It makes my lashes look super long and thick. And it really doesn't clump, which I love! It's just the best stuff ever haha.


This is the Estēe Lauder Artist's Eye Pencil. To be honest I like the Ulta pencil liner better because it's darker and goes on easier. But I'm not one to throw away a whole eyeliner, and it really isn't bad. I just like Ulta's better. I usually only line my tight line and water line on my eyes for an everyday look. It doesn't look like you're wearing a lot of eyeliner, but your eyes will definitely pop! An extra bonus of lining your tight line is that it makes your eyelashes look super thick!!


I cannot live without my EOS lip balm! I forget what flavor this is, but it smells sort of melony. The smell just reminds me of summer even when it gets cold out :).


This palette is my favorite for making super natural eye shadow looks. However, on a regular day I normally just use the shade Venus to highlight the inner corner of my eyes. I find it makes them look soo much bigger!



And here is the finished product haha. I hope you like it! And sorry about the weird glare on my nose. The lighting was coming in at a weird angle. Hugs <3

Tumblr Dorm Room

Hello everyone! Here are the pictures I promised a few weeks ago of my dorm room, and how I decided to decorate it. This is my side of the room. I didn't want to include my roommate's side in case she didn't want her stuff photographed. So this year I went with stringing my Christmas tree lights across the wall instead of the ceiling. I do think I like it better this way. It doesn't make the ceiling seem so low, and it makes a nice frame for what I put on the wall.


Sorry this picture is so dark. It's just the way the sun was coming in through the window. But this is probably my favorite wall because it has all my favorite pictures from the past year or so. Sometimes it's just nice to look at reminders of all the people in your life at times that were a blast :).


Sorry for all the sorority stuff on the wall, but as you can tell I'm in Phi Mu haha.


This I actually painted all by myself over the summer haha. I'm super in love with the way it turned out!


My big gave me these lovely canvases last year. How can I not hang them up?! Except the Coco Chanel quote. I did make that one.


This is the wall above my desk. It has my jewelry, a magnet board that I like to hang cards or important things on, more letters my big gave me (shout out out to her haha), and a pretty skyline of New York City that is actually my roommates :).

Have a great day! Hugs <3

Cozy Day

Heyyy! Today has been really cloudy so far, and it's supposed to rain later. I really hope I don't have to walk in the rain to class. I hate wet shoes!! Luckily I have this giant olive green umbrella that I can lug around with me in case it starts raining. But it's so big it kind of sucks carrying it around... Anyway, the clouds have put me in a rainy day mood, which means I just want to curl up in bed in a comfy cardigan or long sleeved tee and read a good book :) I wish I had time to read during the school year :( So I guess I'll be curling up with some organic chemistry or microbiology instead... Those don't exactly sound like good cuddle companions haha. Oh well, at least I might be somewhat productive then. Later today I'm going to finish the series Band of Brothers with a friend :). It's an HBO series about the European front of WWII. It's really really good!! Although, if you are a chick-flik (is that how it's spelled?? haha) sort of person I wouldn't recommend it. There is a lot of exploding things and people getting shot, but they really do a great job of portraying what the soldiers went through. So definitely check it out if that's something you're interested in :)

Here is today's snuggly outfit. I got this shirt over the weekend in a medium, which is two sizes bigger than I normally wear. But I really wanted this shirt to be oversized and slouchy. And it really is one of the softest shirts I own. I love it :). The shirt is from Pacsun, the bralette is from FreePeople, and my shorts are from Target (they probably don't go as well with the shirt as denim ones would, but I just wanted the be comfy today haha). Hugs <3







Also, I'm curious what you guys think about my content. Do you want more pictures, less pictures, more written content, more posts?? Leave a comment and let me know what you guys want!

Comfy Gray Tee

Hello!! So sorry I didn't post yesterday, but it was Labor Day here in the U. S. So everyone was off work and I got to spend some time with my family :). I just wanted to make it a family day and enjoy the ribs my mom made. And oh my gosh guys they were amazing! I wish I could send you a taste of them through my screen because they are just so good! Sending food through screens should really become the next technology haha. Like I can go on Instagram and just pick out my breakfast, lunch or dinner from all the yummy food pictures out there haha. So there's my food tangent. Today I just woke up a few minutes earlier than I had planned, so I ran down to the football stadium and did a really sweaty stairs workout. I am going to be super duper sore later today or tomorrow. But at least it just felt so good to work hard. I love the accomplished feeling after completing a hard workout.

Here is today's outfit. Just a super soft and comfy gray (or is it grey? I never know guys) t-shirt from Brandy Melville, denim shorts from Urban Outfitters, and my shoes are from Toms.

Little Black Dress

Hello readers! Here is a dress I have been loving lately! It is so easy to throw on and not have to worry about picking out an entire outfit (I seriously don't understand why more people don't wear dresses haha). I love the open back detail. It take it from a simple black dress to something with a little more personality :). I know yesterday I was going on about how pretty the view was from drinking my morning coffee. Now you can see one of the trees in a little more detail because I couldn't not use it as my background haha. I love the ivy that crawls up the side! And look how huge it is! It's about twice as wide as me, if not bigger! Later today I'm going to play golf with my mom. Let's see how bad I am haha. Wish me luck!







Hugs <3

Hello! So today was a day well spent at home. I started the morning off the right way with a cup of coffee on the patio outside. The sun was just starting to shine through the trees, and it wasn't too hot yet either. The view is so pretty with all the giant trees everywhere. I love greenery. That is the one thing I would miss the most if I were to ever move from Ohio. The trees up on the northern end of the state by Lake Erie are so tall and and the prettiest bright green in the summer! After coffee, my mom and I went to run errands for various things. For dinner we had some HUGE burgers on the grill and corn on the cob :) Yummm. Now we are sitting on the patio again just enjoying one of the last days of summer weather. It won't be too long before I'll have to start wearing pants all the time again :'(. I will really miss my shorts.




Hugs <3
