1. Blogging
The first thing I’m loving is the fact that I have decided to continue with my blog! I am hoping to document my entire study abroad experience on here so that my family and friends can follow along on my journey. I am not leaving for about a month and a half, but I want to get into the habit of writing each week. I hope you continue to follow along. 🙂
2. Mix and Match Mama & Pinterest Told Me To
These two blogs have quickly become favorites over the past few weeks. Over on PTMT, Sheaffer recreates cute outfits that she finds on Pinterest, reviews and recommends amazing must have wardrobe pieces, and keeps track of great deals that come up at Nordstroms, The LOFT, and other similar stores. I have just recently become more focused on dressing fashionably and comfortably! Following this blog has helped me to do just that, basically serving as my personal stylist.
I came across Mix and Match Mama through PTMT and am so glad that I did. Shay not only posts incredible and easy recipes – she also has an extremely positive attitude and energy (& not to mention the cutest kids ever). She’s extremely open about her faith and even just reading her blog inspires me to be a better person.
Check these two out and I promise you will not be disappointed!
3. Neila Ray Abs
With my big trip coming up soon, I have been trying to eat healthier and get in better shape. I did this workout the other night with my dance team and it was a killer! It has been two days and I still can’t laugh (or move)! It doesn’t take long either – quick and effective.
4. Loose Leaf Tea
My mom and I have been on a tea kick lately! “Forever Nuts” by David’s Tea is possibly one of the most delicious things that I have ever tasted. It turns bright pink once it is brewed so that’s pretty cool too! I am also a huge fan of the tea lattes that are served at David’s Tea, though they are a bit expensive and hard to make at home. Since being back at school, I have been brewing a cup in the morning and bringing my Teavana Travel Mug with me for the day. It keeps my tea hot ALL DAY, so hot that I usually can’t even drink it until around lunch time. It’s perfect for a little afternoon pick me up. 🙂
5. Reveal
As a female at an engineering school, I am often surrounded by all guys. Because of this, I joined a sorority my freshman year. It was not something I had ever imagined myself doing, but I wanted to have a group of ladies to enjoy my college years with. My sorority sisters provide me with a permanent support network and a home away from home. Tonight we will be getting the littlest sister in our family! She loves Disney so my little and I spent most of the past night making these Disney themed family shirts.
I am so excited to make even more memories with my Alpha Xi Delta family.
Enjoy your weekend – I’m hoping for a cozy snow day tomorrow!
xo,
Jaclyn
