Quotes of the Day No. 7

-




I haven't done a Quote of the Day post since last July... so I thought I would do one right now to bring it back. But instead of choosing just one, I wanted to do both of these because I really like them both! I have definitely been feeling the need for some uplifting words of inspiration. I am feeling pretty homesick and I find myself wishing that the semester would just be over already so I can have summer with my family and friends and then go study abroad! But alas, I have six more weeks so I need to rally and stay positive. 

Wake up every morning with the thought that something wonderful is about to happen.

I want to try and start my day off on a positive note with being happy and not focusing on how tired or cranky I am. Instead, I am going to try to drink a glass of water every morning, along with a healthy breakfast. I usually wake up and dwell on my sleepiness for about a good half hour. Instead, I am going to be grateful for all the possibilities of the day.

We never noticed the beauty because we were too busy trying to create it.

I am currently a part of two creative processes - the first is an abstract play I am acting in called The Gas Heart and the second is our dance show which I am light designing for this coming week. I find myself being so caught up in the physical act of creating that I often times do not take a step back to observe the beauty that has been created. I am going to try to appreciate my work and appreciate the beauty of hard work, collaboration, talent, and creativity.

Do these quotes apply to you? I hope you have a delightful Tuesday!!

    Reading this as I sit in Starbucks on campus eating an apple fritter for MY "healthy" bfast. It's a really beautiful day here already and I miss you LOTS. I wish we went to the same college sometimes, but then maybe we'd have drifted apart or something awful. These quotes are rly great!!! Good work with your plays/creative processes. I can't wait to hear all about it this summer.

      I sometimes wish too that we went to the same school but I definitely think we are where we are supposed to be. If anything, our friendship has grown much stronger since we started college. That's weird but I think it is because we have both found a lot out about who we are and the people we want to surround ourselves with, ya know? I miss ya tons. We are going to make this summer count.

Monthly Favorites | August

SO, after over a week of not having my laptop to be able to blog on, I finally have it returned and fixed! I am so relieved and now without further ado, here are all of monthly favorites from August, starting with the beauty products and a book: - Philosophy's Purity Facial Cleanser is amazing! I used it for about three weeks with the Clarisonic and now that I am at college again (without my mother's Clarisonic), I have been using it just by itself. As I work it into a lather, I can feel my skin being refreshed. I really enjoy the general scent of it and so far I like how it has been cleaning my face.  - Now, everyone and their mother has been talking about the Maybelline Color Tattoos and I thought I would hop on the bandwagon and give them a whirl. I really have been enjoying 'Bold Gold' and 'Tough as Taupe'. They are extremely matte and I have been finding that I don't need to wear an eye primer underneath because the shadow remains matte a

Flower Love

My little sister Mary, who is almost 13, makes headbands, bows, and clips for her hair out of cut material from old shirts and cheap fake flowers from the store... and they are amazing !! She is already a beauty/fashion guru in the making. I feel so inspired by her to be more creative with styling my hair, while saving a bit of money :) So here are some photos of her clips and headbands: Flower Love was inspired by a photo we saw on Pinterest*. She immediately wanted to recreate the look with a fishtail braid when we saw it because she just bought some daisies that looked quite similar. Here's me casually sitting in some grass modeling her work... (Secret: I was actually wearing boxer shorts underneath this dress and a car filled with attractive guys  drove by... I was kind of maybe a bit mortified because when standing you could definitely see the boxers. Needless to say, we ran and hid). Flower Power are two of her flower headbands that, in my opinion, are just

August Music!

Hello there!  Here is the music I have been loving this month. I have been listening to a lot of indie rock and alternative bands lately. If you haven't heard of some of these, check them out and let me know what you think! Ellie Goulding - I am assuming that anyone who hasn't been living underneath a rock has heard of my girl Ellie. She has been my favorite singer for the past five years and I can't believe how big she has gotten! Her music is so inspiring, beautiful, and exciting. She keeps cranking out new music and it is so incredible. Here are three of her latest singles: Burn You My Everything Ritual American Authors - I have been listening to them on repeat. They are an American-indie rock band from Brooklyn, NY and they just have such a great vibe. I definitely think their song "Best Day of My Life" has been my summer song! Check these out: Best Day of My Life Best I Could Do Believer Foals - These guys are awesome. They are an
