Arizona/School Essentials


Friday is here which means the first week of second semester (for most students) is officially over. Technically this isn't my first whole week because we started on a Wednesday but that's besides the point. Since school has finally started, I wanted to share my school essentials for the new semester along with some Arizona specific essentials. 

1. Pencils and Pens

I had to start with the basics- pencils and pens. The pens are the brand Uni-ball and are nice and smooth but will bleed through notebook paper. And those are just some normal 'Zebra' brand mechanical pencils.


2.Colorful Highlighters

All my old highlighters were fading fast so I had to pick up some new ones! Bright and colorful, they will definitely help my notes stand out while studying. 


3.Journals and Planners

Obviously, the best place to take all your notes is in notebook journals! And then my other favorite school item are planners. Nothing is better than being organized.


4.Stickers!

Now personally, I think stickers are crucial for the boringness that is the front of planners and journals. Which is why I have these Lisa Frank stickers from Urban Outfitters that are super loud and obnoxious but they give the journals some life. 



5.Caffeinated Tea/Water

Water is essential to life and essential for quality education. That said, caffeinated tea as been newly added to my life because I have the super early shift at my job and I'm not a coffee person :)


 6.Sunscreen

I live in the land of the sun, and I want healthy skin. Therefore I shall apply sunscreen every day!


7.Sunglasses

The land of the sun explanation continued...SUNGLASSES. Gotta protect those eyes. And who doesn't feel badass in a pair of cool sunnies? 


8.The Exam Passer

Last but not least, you need some kind of good luck charm for all the hefty exams you'll be facing. Which is why I received the 'Watch-over Voodoo' doll named the "Exam Passer".
The little tag says "I will help you to retain knowledge and take exams with now fear." I'm going to need him. (Thanks Dad)


What are your favorite school supplies? Or do you not even want to talk about school anymore...Sorry.
Best of luck with the new semester!

Hello : August

Bonjour Août! ( Hello August en français ) . I thought today would be a great day to start a new phase of my blog. A transition from fashion to lifestyle. Sounds boring, I know. Until I can find someone to take photos of me, I'm going to have to take them myself. Which is A-OK, because there are a lot of random topics I would love to talk about on here! Things like music, food, beauty, mental health, etc. etc.  _____________________________ I will begin this new phase with a list of August Intentions! Inspired by an Instagram post. 1. Meditate more frequently (because girl you know it helps) 2. Get outside a few minutes everyday (weather permitting) 3. Eat yo greens 4. Be grateful, everyday 5. SMILE, at everyone. And say hi sometimes :)  _________________________ And finally, a quote for the new month: New Month, New Beginning, New Mindset, New Focus, New Start, New Intentions, New Results. - Words of wisdom my lovely, and newl

San Diego Vibes

Image
For my last one week Spring Break vacation ever , my family and I traveled to San Diego, California. I've been to San Diego before when I had short, curly/frizzy hair, and better yet, braces...Take a second, imagine that image for your own pleasure, and then throw it away forever. You done? Ok good, let's move on.This time around I was a 21 year old college student, and wayyyy hotter so I had a lot more fun :). Two times around makes me feel like I've seen all of San Diego (JK not really, I'm buying a condo when I become a millionaire).  Since I have already witnessed the hilly fortress that is the San Diego Zoo, I had no interest to go again this Spring Break. Instead, my Mom and I ended up right across the street in Balboa Park! The land of museums and gorgeous architecture. It was like walking into a world that fused Morocco, Germany, Hawaii, and Greece into the same space. Incredible. I dressed up this particular day in a fun wid

Bye Bye Luna

Today I handed in the keys to my junior year apartment.  I wanted to capture the view on the roof one more time before I parted ways, and I'm sure you'll all see why it's just that much harder to say goodbye. But change is good and I'm super excited about my new place, my new roommate and going into my senior year of college on a high note! Nothing beats that view though. Hope everyone enjoys the last few days we have left in July! Next stop for me..Vancouver :) ♡Addison
