Blogging and personal Q&A

Hey, everyone!!! 

A few weeks ago I posted on my Instagram stories and my photos that I wanted to hear from you! I wanted to know what you were thinking and some questions you all were dying to ask! I also was waiting to put this post together for when I had no other blog posts. I have been finishing up finals and I have had zero time to shoot posts and edit photos. So here it is, a collection of blogging and personal questions curated by yall! Honestly, these questions blew me away! You all had such wonderful and thoughtful questions, but also super funny ones! 

1. What are you studying in college, And where are you attending college at??

Currently, I am studying Business administration on Marketing I am minoring in Communication and I have a specialization in Human Resources. I wanted to get a really good degree that had everything in it. I felt that in today's economy it would be very beneficial. As for where I go to school, I attend Seton Hill University, some people compare it to Hogwarts! 

2. Who takes all of your photos?? 

I have been working with a photographer and we have been really getting along and working pretty well together which is something that is so amazing to me. When I started blogging I always had my mom shoot for me. Eventually, we got a better camera and she would just snap some photos and we would be done. With the evolving content I want to bring you guys I knew I needed a more advanced photographer. (SORRY MOM) The person I have been working with pushes me and we really are able to bring ideas alive! Which is super dope! 

3. What does your blog schedule look like?? 

With the changing schedule of being done with class, I have much more availability and consistency. All that being said I would love to get back to three blog posts a week with some room for more fun and honest posts like this one! 

As for shooting days, we have been aiming to shoot on Monday afternoons. We have been finding that being the best and most effective time to get photos in! 

4. What is your favorite show! 

I have always been a fan of Scandal and How to get away with murder! Those have always been my very favorite scripted series! They are so suspenseful and so addicting, period end of story.  I am however a huge reality tv person! All of the real housewives are my favorite, along with southern charm. Basically anything on Bravo I'm sold. 

5. Biggest tip when starting a blog? 

Probably stay consistent, its so like obvious but it is so so so so important. Literally, if you stay consistent and try you will see the success. Anyone can be a blogger but if you really attempt and work for it, you can successfully stand out from the pack. I started my blog when I was 17 and now at 20. I have literally created a brand and opportunities from this blog. That is something that is so amazing to me! 

6. Do you shop a lot? 

Yes and no! I am able to work at a place that I can affordable buy things for my blog. I learn however to repurpose and bring clothes back around. 

7. Favorite snack and or food?  

I love bar food anything un- healthy. I love nachos and fried food. I am slightly a fan of fried pickles from the local Sheetz. I love comfort food that happens to be really bad for you.

8. Does a lot of people know you have a blog? And how do you handle the conversation? 

Yes and no, it isn't a conversation started but it is something that is brought up. Many of my friends think it is super cool so they usually tell people so then those people just ask me a million questions, which is something that doesn't bother me. Also, a lot of people find me on social media and the usually figure it out on their own. My boss knows I have a blog and he thinks its super cool. Which is so wonderful if you ask me. My advisor knows that I have a blog, mostly she thinks of it as a resume builder. 

I handle it pretty well I think. Sometimes it can be pretty uncomfortable which is no fun. But it is always nice when someone else explains what I do. It usually makes things so much more comfortable! 

I hope that you all enjoyed this Q&A! I would love to do another one soon! So please always feel free to send me some of your questions! I always love to hear from you all! 

The best dress for any occasion

 
Happy Thursday everyone! 

Wedding season is right around the corner and I know for me picking out dresses can be super tricky. I always have the most trouble looking for dresses for the occasion. I feel like all women have trouble when it comes to this issue. Today I am talking about this little number and also I am sharing some of my tips and tricks for wedding season! 

First off this dress is so darn cute! I purchased it at Marshalls off their runway section! I thought that this dress would be a perfect fit for all the formal weddings I have coming up this summer! But then I came home and started looking into the brand. Y'all this dress retails for a solid 500 dollars!!! I snagged it for $29.99 and let me tell you photos don't do it justice! It is a seriously stunning dress that has so much detail on it. I paired it with these gorgeous nude heels which I love so much and they are so so comfy! 

With wedding season right around the corner here are some of my tips and tricks when it comes to getting that perfect wedding look! 

1. You don't have to invest a lot to look fabulous! Say you want to buy a dress, places like marshalls and Tj Maxx have runway sections where you can get a designer for a fraction of the price! And they always have free exchanges and returns! 

2. Rent the Runway! Yes, that's a wonderful site that gives you so many options depending on the event and the type of wedding you are attending! The best part is you can choose the rental time and the option to have an additional dress sent to you! 

3.  Take a simple dress and make it yours. This is my favorite tip I have! One summer I attended 4 weddings! Yes, 4!!! I was slightly over the whole entire wedding thing! I invested in a nice white dress and let me tell you I threw a nice bold shoe on and a nice earring. I was hounded with so many complements, dressing up a white dress with gorgeous simple pieces makes a big statement! Especially with summer weddings! 

4. Invest in a spray tan or self-tanner. If you are like me and are extremely pale, try getting a good spray tan from your local tanning salon! A lot of places are super affordable and do such a good job! Or try the Jergens Foam, I swear by this stuff! It is one of my favorite products right now and is beyond easy to use! 

5. Finally!!! Don't be afraid to go out of your comfort zone. I don't mean go out and buy a backless dress or a dress that has cutouts in it. No!!! Instead look for textures, fabrics cut and styles. Sometimes we are so set with a certain style we never try anything different!

The sprintime skirt with LuLuRoe

Happy Monday everyone!!! 

I hope that you all had a wonderful and relaxing weekend For me the end of the semester is almost here and that means that everything has been in overdrive. Besides papers and exams, I am beyond exhausted and I am so excited for the end of the semester to be here soon! 

Today I am teaming up with LuLRoe to bring you a three part segment! I am so excited about this collab! For one when I always thought of LuLuRoe I automatically thought of leggings with tons of prints on them. Well, that might be true but they also have some of the most creative and cute things I have ever seen. Literally, you guys I was blown away by the selection cut and style of these garments. So chic and so very comfy! So today I am kicking the first part of the segment off with this gorgeous skirt number from LuLuRoe! 

First, might I say I am by no means a tight skirt kinda girl. Actually, it brings me back to the phase when all the girls would wear tight skirts in high school and junior high. But let me start by saying this skirt went beyond my expectations! The piece was so cute and really was a piece that was easy to style and wear. Y'all would never think that I am wearing, in fact a LuLuRoe garment! Throw in some of this seasons hottest trends like the espadrilles and of course, the straw bag and you have an instant style updated piece! 

Make sure to check back over the span of the next few weeks to see how I am incorporating LuLuRoe garments into my wardrobe for this summer and spring!
