Okay, I honestly didn't think I would ever tell this story because to be honest, it is kind of embarrassing haha! It makes me out to be a little spoiled, but I promise I was not usually like this (at all)! I just had a huge passion for animals and decided to make a rash decision... just keep reading... Thinking back on this story, the one thing that always comes to my mind is - how did I get away…

So if you’ve been following me for awhile you probably know that 3 years ago I started my freshman year at The University of Kansas. I ended up rooming with three random girls who I loved and still call best friends! Fast forward to present day, a dorm room and two apartments later, I am moving back in with one of my freshman year roomies (Emily)! It was something her and I always joked about when we were living together…

If you didn't see my announcement on Instagram then I will fill you in - I decided not to renew my lease and move back home for the time being. I have so many mixed emotions about leaving my cute little apartment that has become my home. I love Lawrence and I have so many memories here from the last two years, one of which was spent this apartment. However, I know The University of Kansas is not right for…

As a girl that loves traveling, I have become an expert on what to pack over the years. I've done quite a few packing posts before (my most recent was how to be an organized packer), however I really wanted to specifically talk about what kind of beauty items to pack for your trips! Traveling can be harsh on your skin, nails, hair, and everything in between. I make sure to pack everything I could ever need so I am…

If you have been following me on Pinterest and seeing all my apartment pins (sorry for the overload) you may have noticed that I have some big changes coming for myself. I decided to do something that I have always thought about doing on my blog, which is be honest about my struggles. I have been dealing with anxiety since high school, I used to wake up almost every morning and be so nervous for my day that I would…

Long weekends are always best spent at the lake with family and friends. This year, like every Memorial Weekend, we went to our house at the Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri and spent three days with good people, good food, and good weather. Although the water is still a little chilly, we spent a good amount of time on the dock and boat this weekend. I love being at the lake in the summer, and luckily we were blessed…

I hope you have all had a lovely thanksgiving filled with family, blessings, and LOTS of good food! I had an excellent day here at my lake house with my family. Cooking and baking are things everyone in my family loves to do (and luckily something everyone is good at)! Because of that, we ended up making too much food - as usual - which means a happy family and a few weeks of yummy leftovers! I love being able to…
