Plaid Scarf and Nature

Hello! I'm sorry this didn't go out this morning, but smart me left my tripod in my mom's car that my sister drove back to school for the night. So I was left without one until she came back to take me to our grandparent's house for lunch. I've had a pretty busy weekend with seeing family and accomplishing more homework than normal. I still haven't studied enough for my exam tomorrow morning, but I can make it a later night if I need to. Coffee will definitely be my savior tonight haha. And I have a 4 hour carried I can make use of. Normally I get a really bad headache when I read in the car, so hopefully a few tylenol will fix that. I am currently sitting ton the patio in the beautiful weather we are having today with four big dogs around me haha. I miss them so much when I'm not home. Dogs (or any pet I'm sure) can make such a difference in someone's mood :).

Sorry this post was so all over the place haha. I just felt like I had a lot to tell you since I didn't post yesterday haha. Also, my mom gave me one of her old lenses that I have been dying to have for awhile now haha. It's part of my Christmas present, and it's basically every blogger's dream to get a new lens haha. What do you think of these pictures?

CMNH Philanthropy Event

Hello! This was supposed to go out earlier today, but I forgot to pack yesterday so that's what my morning consisted of. I made the four hour drive from college to Cleveland, and that was definitely the majority of my day. I came home this weekend because my mom finally got the closing date and title transfer on her new house! I am so excited!! I get to help her pick out things for the house. She is completely redoing the inside, and I also get to redo my room! I have been dying to redo my room for a few years now. It was just a little girl's room, and I'm no longer a little girl. I'm thinking a black and white minimalist sort of style :). We'll see.

Here are some pictures from CMNH (Children's Miracle Network Hospital) in Cincinnati. This is the organization my sorority supports through our philanthropy. We raise a bunch of money for the hospital, and we will also do some crafts or make blankets for the kids. I got to tour some of the parts of the hospital yesterday with a few of my sorority sisters yesterday. They have recently finished building some really cool research and patient facilities there. Our guide Liz was super friendly and loved having us. It was such a great experience to see where all our hard work and fundraising is going :).

These glass bulbs were all made (with professional assistance) and painted by the kids at CMNH.

The view of Cincinnati from the Neil Armstrong Terrace at the hospital. It was so beautiful especially with all the trees. I'm sorry the camera couldn't capture all the beauty as well :'(.

Comfy Cute

Hello everyone! Here is a quick update before I run out to class. My Wednesdays are always super busy! I can't wait until I'm done with everything today, even though I have a whole bunch of homework to catch up on :/. This is an outfit from Monday. I decided I wanted to look cute, but still be comfy. And this outfit did both :). The leggings and flannel were super comfortable, the scarf was snugly, and the boots kept my legs warm :). Definitely a winning outfit haha. I hope you all are having an easier day than I am, but I do like being busy. I find it motivates me more than when I'm bored. So maybe something productive will come from this busy day :). Hugs <3

Sunglasses from RayBans, scarf from Aerie (I think), flannel shirt from Abercrombie and Fitch (super old), leggings from Lululemon, boots from Francesca'sCollection (last year, but they have some super cute ones this year too!)

Relaxing Morning and Adidas Shoes

Hellooo!! This morning I woke up super early at 6:45 because I had to take my car back to its legal parking spot to avoid getting another parking ticket :/. Massive glare directed towards the parking people. Grrr. They are such sticklers at Miami about parking. Oh well I had a relaxing morning because I had so much time. I took a really warm, long shower, which is always one of my favorites. Then I took my time getting ready, picking out an outfit and putting on makeup, while listening to music. Such fun. I was going to take some outfit pictures this morning, but I washed my hair so I looked kind of like a drowned rat haha. These pictures, however, are from over the weekend :). I am so in love with these tennis shoes! Ahhh!! Total hearts in eyes! They are super cute, but super comfortable. Annnddd they match with everything! They have definitely become a wardrobe favorite. 

Sweater from American Eagle (last year), t-shirt from H&M, jeans from Abercrombie and Fitch, tennis shoes from Adidas.

Puppies and Kittens

Good evening readers! Sorry for this late update, but I'm taking a break from my homework and exam studying. Here are some pictures from today. I went to a local animal shelter to walk some of the dogs, and after we got to play with some of the puppies and kittens! These adorable little puppies were around five weeks old I think. I just wanted to take one of them (or all of them) home so badly! They were just so cute! But I live in a dorm, so they don't allow pets :'(. Next year I think my housemates and I will foster a service/therapy dog in our apartment. So we will get a puppy for a semester, and then at the end we will have to give it to whoever adopts the service dog. The dog comes pre-trained and all the food and vet visits are paid for. So it's really an ideal thing for a college student to have :). I can't wait!

This little guy was having fun chewing on my finger haha. Soo cute!

I actually got him to stop licking my face for a picture haha.

These kittens were so cheeky playing with my apron strings!

Have a great evening! Hugs <3

In the Woods

Good morning and happy Sunday! Today I slept in until around 10:20 and then laid in bed until now haha. I'm actually still in my pajamas right now. But that sleep was much needed after last week of not getting much sleep thanks to my cough. I'll probably go and get breakfast soon...err well lunch haha. But breakfast food still. Ahh! I just love breakfast food :). These pictures I am completely obsessed with. I took these on Thursday during my large amount of free time haha. I think the lighting turned out amazing, and I love this outfit! I hope you like it too!

Errands

Hello everyone! Today has been pretty busy but not that exciting. This morning was super fun  though! I went paint balling for the first time!! In case you don't know how it is played, the idea is that you basically run around the woods/obstacles with a 'gun' that uses compressed air to shoot balls of paint at people. You are supposed to hit all the other team's players, before they hit all of your players.  The team with the last players standing wins. We played a bunch of different rounds and I got zoo much paint on me! When I got back I took a much needed shower because I managed to get shot in the head and had paint all over my hair haha. Ugh it was so sticky and gross! :P Then I cleaned my room (finally :D) and went out to run some errands. Nothing super interesting. I just needed some lotion, mascara, and food from the grocery store. Now I have the rest of the day to do something with. I should really do homework, but I just don't feel like being very productive at the moment haha. Do you guys ever feel that way? Usually I'm super motivated to do homework, but today I'm just not feeling it. So what to do???

Here is an old picture from when the weather was warmer. It's finally starting to cool off now and I'm really missing the heat :'(. Oh well fall has to kick in, followed by winter, at some point :/. Now all I can do is look back at all the good pictures I've taken over the summer, and wish I was there again. Until next summer :)
