Long Distance Relationships (Won't) Kill You

July 27, 2017

Let's be real, summer is the hardest season for friendship. 


It takes so much work to maintain a long-distance friendship during the hectic summer months. Sarah and I have been finding it difficult to keep up with each other while I'm on a four month contract in New Jersey and she is traveling/working at her cool adulting job. Just in case you and your best are struggling like us, I've made a list of things to do that will guarantee you are up to date on all that best friend info. 

Stream of Consciousness Texts
    Sarah and I keep our texts going as much as we can. Even if it's just an Emma Roberts meme or a "everyone here is stupid, why are you not here?!?!?" text, we make sure to keep each other in the loop constantly.

Facetime Dates
    Texting is great, but we all know that the real catch-up happens virtual face to virtual face. Try to have some best friend time at least once a week (this is not always possible, believe me). Make an effort. Set a time. Make some tea (or if you're me, pour some wine) and chat.

Book Club
    I bought Sarah and I the same book for her birthday so that we would have something special to bond over. I completely recommend this fun way to stay connected, and not just because it's a major Cher and Tai moment (Authors note: neither of us will own up to being a Tai, so we are both Cher.).

Plan a Besties Trip
    Getting through a rough patch of long hours and hard work can be so much easier if you have something to look forward to. Right now, Sarah and I are planning a day to meet up at the Food and Wine Festival this Fall in Disney, and knowing that I have that trip to look forward to makes my days without seeing my best somewhat bearable.

So whether you're separated by a few states or an entire ocean, hopefully some of these ideas will help to cure some of that separation anxiety you experience when everyone is being stupid and you just want your best friend (which is always).

Captivated by Captiva

May 3, 2017

This year, I have become someone who travels more for work than I do for pleasure. I never thought I'd use that sentence to describe myself, but here we are. I won't lie, my day-to-day life is pretty hectic, and the hustle and bustle of New York does nothing to help my zen. As a New Yorker, I am in love with my city and would never live anywhere else, but sometimes you just need to drop everything and head to a tropical island, so that's exactly what I did.

If you find yourself in the same situation as me, I highly recommend fleeing to Captiva. This island has beautiful beaches, delicious restaurants, and wonderful hotels. Here's how I spent my week:

After a sleep deprived travel day, we arrived at Tween Waters Resort. We immediately threw our bags down, sprayed on some SPF 5,000 (New York has deprived me of any vitamin D), and headed out to find the pool. Armed with my aviators, Lily Collins' new book (which honestly, I wouldn't recommend), and a pina colada, I got to work on my tan.

The next few days were a blur of laying in my cabana on the beach, snacking on nachos by the pool, catching up on my favorite podcast (The Lady Gang), and reading everything from Vogue to The Circle (recommended reading!).

Thanks to all of my time on the island, I am basically a certified Captiva travel guide, so let me tell you some of the things I feature about this vacation spot.

If all of the lounging is making you stressed, I highly recommend the Spa at Tween Waters for a well deserved massage, facial, or mani/pedi.

After your spa day, hit the water for a dolphin viewing or a sunset cruise with Captiva Cruises where you will find full bar service, knowledgeable tour guides, and probably a dolphin or twenty.

Everyone knows that calories don't exist during vacation, so obviously finding good restaurants is a must. Some of the best places to get some amazing food include The Captiva House (design your own sushi), Doc Ford's (the most historic Captiva restaurant), and The Mad Hatter (fancy and fun). Although eating in a restaurant can be great, I have to admit my favorite dinner was a pizza picnic on the beach at sunset (bring a blanket and play some Jimmy Buffet!).

So grab your bathing suit and sunnies, and tell your boss you're taking a few days off. The beach (and the pizza) is waiting!



Exploring Nashville

March 30, 2017

As a southern girl, I never get tired of exploring below the Mason-Dixon Line (ok, once I wrote it I heard how dirty that sounds). Awkward comments aside, the South is my home and it has so much to offer. One of my most recent adventures was a trip to Nashville to visit one of my best friends. Y'all I fell in love! Nashville is the perfect blend of city, country, and college town.
Unfortunately, I was only able to spend two days in this adorable city, but here are some places that I think are definitely worth a visit!

After arriving and dropping our weekenders at my friend's apartment (who's neighbors include Taylor Swift and Hayden Panettiere, which I wasn't complaining about) we headed to Fido Cafe. This cafe is a cute and casual place to grab a coffee (I recommend the Evergreen) and a little breakfast (check out the salmon scramble).

Once we were full of breakfast, we took a short tour of the town and ended up at Belmont University, where we explored the amazing lawns, chapels, and theaters. We took a few minutes to have a photoshoot at some of the prettiest parts of the campus!


The day was full of rushing around, so many sites so little time! We left Belmont to drop-off Alie B. at her theater (the real reason we were there was to see her as Carrie in "Carrie: The Musical").  We still had some time to kill before the show, so we headed to do one of my favorite activities: shopping! We killed time shopping at Green Hills Mall (we spent most of our money at Free People, oops). After the impromptu shopping spree, we headed to watch "Carrie", which was creepy as well as beautiful (and it helps that it is one of my favorite musicals). 

The post-show hunger kicked in, so we headed to Two Bits, a local Belmont spot. They served us yummy drinks and great food, so it was a great way to celebrate our talented friend.

The next morning it was time for us to get back home, but we did make one last stop for brunch at Frothy Monkey, which was my favorite Nashville spot. I highly recommend the rosemary honey latte!

Overall, this trip brought a magical weekend with amazing friends. My only regret is that I couldn't stay longer! Hopefully this little guide helps you if you ever find yourself in this gorgeous town!


Spring Must Haves

March 6, 2017

Spring Must Haves

Denim Jacket || Marble Phone Case || Floral Sweater || Tote Bag || Adidas Sneakers || Aviator Sunglasses (only $12!!) ||
Essie Nail Polish || Jeans || Marble S'well Bottle || White Top || Choker || 'Uh Huh Honey' Hat

It may not feel like Spring in some parts of the country, but here in Georgia it definitely does! We've finally gotten to the point where it's over 60 degrees and I'll just say I'm not mad about it. I'm getting the itch to clean out my closet and create a brand new spring wardrobe. I've always had a very minimalistic style and I don't gravitate towards bright colors, but I can't turn my back on pretty pastels. 

I've rounded up some things that I will have in rotation during the next few months and things that I have my eye on (particularly the floral Show Me Your Mumu sweater and Uh Huh Honey baseball hat!). I've already started ordering some new items that will be perfect for my new wardrobe and I can't wait to finally start styling some new outfits!

10 Walt Disney World Do's & Don'ts

February 17, 2017


Planning a Walt Disney World vacation can be very overwhelming. How are you getting there? Where are you staying? What park is best on which day? Where are you going to eat? What Fastpasses are you going to get? Seriously, it's a lot to think about! I've been going to Disney World for almost 23 years now, Disney World is my happy place and I love sharing why I love it with people, but it took me a while to figure out all the tips and tricks that are needed to make a trip to Disney World truly special. Don't worry though, I've laid out my top 10 tips for you guys!

1. DO Make plans
Every aspect of the trip doesn't need to be planned out, but you really can't go on a Disney trip without having some things planned. Give yourself time to do your homework and learn all you can about how to best plan your trip. There are so many resources out there, I would look to Pinterest to get started. You can find maps, reviews, menus, crowd calendars, tips and tricks, etc. to really help you understand how to plan a successful trip. Get your dining reservations booked, figure out how you're getting there, where you're staying and buy your tickets in advance.

2. DON'T Go Without A Budget
It's so easy to want to buy every single thing you see in the park. Usually, the merchandise is on point and you'll tell yourself you have to have those salt and pepper shakers that are shaped like the trash cans in Tommorrowland, but you also have to remember how much you spent on this trip and everything you still have to pay for - like food. Like I said, it is so easy to convince that little voice in your head that you're allowed to treat yourself, and that's why it's so important to have an idea of what this entire trip is going to cost you and allot yourself a specified amount for souvenirs and other non-necessity items. Of course, a budget that is a bit flexible is best, because let's be honest - you really do absolutely need those salt and pepper shakers!
Pro Tip: One thing I really like to do is watch Disney Hauls on YouTube to get an idea of things I might want to buy and how much they'll be so I can budget more accurately!

3. DO Use the My Disney Experience App
This app is the greatest. Seriously, sometimes I go on it even when I'm not at Disney because it makes me feel like I'm gearing up to go! In the old days (old days = like 3 years ago), you had to physically walk to an attraction to find out the wait time for it, you had to actually carry a map, and if you wanted to change your FastPass time from 10:50am to 2:30pm? Tough cookies. Oh, and the FastPasses were physical paper passes. Those were dark days. Actually they were great, but compared to what we have now with the app, the days were dark. This app makes Disney days so much easier! You can check wait times, make dining reservations, change/choose your FastPasses and so much more all in one place! Before your trip make sure you peruse the app a bit so that it's easier to use when you're actually in the park.

4. DO Take advantage of FastPass+
FastPasses are a necessity on a Disney trip. Basically, FastPasses let you wait in an expedited line that is much shorter than the standby queue. If it's a super busy time of year, like Christmas, it'll save you from having to wait on 100+ minute lines, but even if it's not busy you'll want to use them. You get to book 3 fast passes per day, and once you use those, you can book more. That's why it's important to use your FastPasses early in the day, so then you can book more FastPasses for the rest of your time in the park. If you are staying at a Disney hotel, you can book them starting 60 days from your visit and if you're an off-site guest you can book starting 30 days out. I highly recommend booking as soon as possible. Not taking advantage of these FREE gifts from the Disney gods would be a huge mistake. Plus, you feel like a total boss walking past everyone that's been waiting in the standby queue.


5. DO Stay On Property (if you can)
I've been to Disney World many, many times and I've had some trips where I've stayed off property, and some where I've stayed on property. If you don't know, staying "on-property" means staying at one of 31 themed hotels within the Disney property. Disney obviously really wants you to stay at one of their hotels, so they give you a few perks if you do. Perks like, free bus transportation to and from the parks, Extra Magic Hours, early access to FastPasses and more. To me, these perks totally make it worth staying on site, but you're also paying more for the luxury of a Disney hotel, so you have to think about if it's worth it for you. The hotels are tiered based on price - value, moderate and deluxe, with deluxe being the most expensive, so there's most likely a hotel on property within your price range. Trust me when I say this, staying at a Disney hotel really changes the whole vibe of your trip. Somehow it becomes 100x more magical.
My favorites: The Boardwalk Inn, The Polynesian and Coronado Springs

6. DO Live in the moment
In this world of technology that we live in, you'd be hard pressed to find anyone not on their phones. Sadly, even the magic of Disney can't prevent this. If anything, it's probably even more prevalent, what with all the awesome Instagram opportunities the park offers (do it for the gram, right?). I myself am guilty of probably spending too much time on my phone when at the Happiest Place on Earth - it's a hard habit to break. The great thing about being at Disney World is that you feel like you have left the real world behind and are in this magical place where you have no worries or cares. Please, leave it that way. It's ok to take that photo by the Bubblegum wall, but also make sure you're taking everything in and appreciating every moment that you're there. I've found that the most memorable moments from my past trips have been when no one was on their phones. Be present in the moment and you'll have the best vacation ever!  

7. DON'T Be Inflexible
Like I said before, I am a planner. I even plan my outfits for each park day like a month in advance! It's hard for me to go into a Disney trip without everything planned out. Since I was the one doing all the pre-planning, I was very determined to stick to those plans. Through the years though, I've realized that it's no fun to stick to a strict schedule - while I may enjoy making it, no one enjoys actually executing it! So I've become more flexible. I listen to the group throughout the day and kind of play everything by ear. If there's something someone doesn't want to do, or something someone wants to add, it's very easy to make changes to the plans. Being strict causes stress, which can ruin a vacation before it even begins, and honestly, there should be no stress on a Disney vacation!

8. DON'T Miss Out On Meeting Characters
I'll be the first to admit, I'm not the biggest fan of meeting characters. Some people absolutely love it and are so good at interacting with them, and some people are very awkward about it. I fall into the latter. For a long time, I didn't really go out of my way to meet any characters (plus, I was not really into waiting in those long lines). I would wave to them if I saw them on my way to an attraction, but once my younger brother got to the age where he enjoyed meeting them, I started waiting in those lines again. I remembered how magical it is to meet Mickey and Minnie, Peter Pan, Alice and all the others. It really does add some pixie dust to your trip and will provide you with memories you'll never forget. 
Pro Tip: Use the My Disney Experience App to find where the characters will be throughout the day in each park!

9. DO Remember to be kind
It's hard to remember that not everyone thinks like you do. You can be in the happiest mood ever and there will always be someone who is in the worst mood ever. Yes, this is even true at Disney World. You're going to run into some not nice people while you're there and it will be super annoying, but the best way to counteract that person's negativity is to outshine them with kindness. I've heard incredible stories of guests going out of their way to make magical moments for other guests (read one here). These gestures don't have to be big (it could simply be a nice conversation) and it could really add to yours and that person's trip. Basically, be kind, mind your space and don't be obnoxious.
Pro Tip: Interacting with Cast Members is another great way to add some magic to your own trip. Strike up a conversation with one of them and you never know what will happen!

10. DON'T expect to do it all
Seriously, it's actually impossible. As many times as I've been, I still haven't even come close to doing every single thing. Walt Disney World is huge and they are adding to it all the time. Going in with the mindset that you want to do everything will only end with you being very tired and very disappointed. I read somewhere that on average, a person can get in about 8 attractions in a day at WDW, give or take a few depending on crowd levels. That doesn't even come close to how many rides there are in each park. Being realistic about what you can accomplish will make your time in "The World" much more relaxing and enjoyable. Plus, not accomplishing everything just gives you another excuse to come back ;) .

That's it guys! While all of this may seem overwhelming, the most important thing to remember is to have fun (omg so cheesy, I know, who am I?). Seriously though, whether you're there for one day or one week, a trip to Disney World is truly magical.

Valentine's Day Outfit Inspiration

February 13, 2017

Valentine's Cover

With Valentine's Day right around the corner - literally guys, it's tomorrow - the time to have your outfit planned has come. Everyone knows the best part about any holiday is picking out a new outfit, but it can be really hard picking the right outfit for the right circumstance. Whether you have a date with bae or a night out with your girls (here's our post about how to have the perfect Galentine's Day), you're going to need to dress your best!

I am a master at waiting until the last minute to find the perfect outfit. I plan months in advance, but don't actually put anything together until I realize it's probably too late. So I am forced to either run out to the store to pick up a statement piece and/or just make due with what I have in my closet. The purpose of this post is to help those girls like me, the one's who just can't seem to prepare early enough, but who want to look ah-mazing always. These outfits should be easy peasy to put together, you'll either have something similar already in your closet, or you'll make a quick run to the mall and pick up something (or some things, get it) new - either way you're sure to look incredible, no matter what your plans are.

Shops I recommend checking out for great last minute pieces:

Hopefully these outfits help you figure out how you're going to WOW people tomorrow! What's everyone's plans? Let us know if you're throwing a party for your gal pals, spending a romantic night with your SO or if you're pampering the most important person in your life - yourself!

Single Girl's Guide to Galentine's Day

February 12, 2017

Another year, another Valentines Day.

BAM, just like that, it's February. It's February, and you are single during the "most romantic month of the year" (honestly, that's debatable because Christmas is actually the cutest). We here at Sincerely Unfabulous completely understand what you're going through. Do not fret; open Spotify, start playing "Single Ladies" and "I Love Myself", and we will help you get through this otherwise normal Tuesday. Here are some ways to show yourself that you don't need a significant other to eat lots of chocolate and spread the love.

1. Watch your favorite funny movie

     Try making the movie theme a little more girl power and a little less chick flick. Instead of stressing about how Jack and Rose could have TOTALLY shared that floating door, celebrate how three amazing women clapped back at their ex husbands and won (First Wives Club).

2. Throw a girl's only soiree

     Pour some rose' and let the gossip begin! If you want to keep the convos clean of relationship talk, pick up a set of Mindy Kaling conversation cards and get to know your girls a little better!


3. Bake some yummy treats

     Three words: Red. Wine. Gummies. Absolutely surround yourself with chocolate. I also love to make cupcakes, and this year I'll be baking strawberry frosted heart tarts to take to my Valentines party. Anything pink and sprinkle covered will do!

4. Treat Yourself

     This could be with chocolate...or with those amazing velvet rose colored booties from Anthro that you've had your eye on. Bottom line just take some time for you!

5. Make it about you and your gal pals

     I'm a firm believer that guys will come and go, but your girls are there forever, so let's celebrate that! Valentines Day is all about love, but it does't have to be romantic! Show those around you how much you appreciate them.

Don't worry, we will be running around muttering "ugh, couples" every second of the day, but we will also pass out mass amounts of chocolate and send well wishes to the people we love (and ok, yeah, maybe we will also have a bottle of wine and feel no shame).


Christmastime In New York City

January 23, 2017


In early December, Tara and I spent a girls weekend in New York. It was our first time seeing each other since September when she moved there, so this was a very important (and necessary) best friends trip! We didn't really have a concrete plan going into it. We had a few things we wanted to do and see, but we played it mostly by ear. The one thing I HAD to do though was go to Black Tap. It's been on my bucket list since last year, so around 10pm we jumped in an Uber and raced to Soho. Black Tap can have horrifically long lines so we had our fingers crossed that it wouldn't be bad since it was so late, and when we pulled up there was no one in line! The place was packed though (it's pretty small to begin with). But the guy there said if we came back in 20 minutes he would save the 1st spot that opened up for us (even though he technically wasn't allowed to). So we walked around the block a few times to kill time.

I don't know if you all know this, but NYC is filled with rats. Tara and I walked past a pile of garbage and she says to me "there's a rat in that pile" and I was in shock! Then, right on cue, a rat ran out right in front of us! I jumped like 10 feet in the air and screamed. Then I heard a voice say "relax it's just a rat", I thought it was God telling me everything would be alright, but it was just some weirdo drinking wine on a rooftop. Needless to say I'll never trust a pile of garbage again.

Anyway, we were able to get a seat once we came back and right away we ordered the Cotton Candy Shake and some french fries (because you have to dip fries in a shake, it's like the law). Let me tell you, it was everything I could have ever wanted and more! The shake was delicious, the place itself was really cool, and, an added bonus - they played The Backstreet Boys - so basically BEST DAY EVER. But seriously, look at this shake, it is to die for!


Friday we made plans to go to Laduree so get some tea and macaroons (because we fancy). Tara has been there a few times already, but I've never been there myself. It was very lavish and sophisticated and that's obviously what we're all about so it was a must. It also wasn't very expensive - which was awesome. We sat out in the garden area instead of the main room. It was so perfect, they had white fur throws on the seats and the Christmas tree was outside in the courtyard, so it definitely felt very cozy.

After watching a few episodes of Fuller House, we ended the day with a dinner in Soho at a restaurant called Emporio. It's very limited on space so I would definitely recommend getting reservations, but it is well worth a try. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was relaxed. Note: It's a relatively expensive restaurant so we filed this under a #treatyourself moment, but we all need one of those every once in a while.


SATURDAY - We planned to go uptown and see all the Christmas decorations. We had to hit up Rockefeller Center and 5th Avenue to look at the decorations. But first, we had to figure out how to get there. The regular trains weren't running (inconvenient much), so we had to figure out an alternative route. It also didn't help that the city was PACKED. SantaCon was that day so we saw so many Santas - 267 to be exact, seriously we counted. 

We made it up to Grand Central Station on the subway and walked the rest of the way up. Since we had leftover pizza from the night before for breakfast (so adult of us) we were starving. We made a quick stop at Schmackary's, which is this amazing bakery that specializes in delicious cookies. It was just what we needed to refuel, plus we had already burned off all the calories from our pizza.


We made our way up to Rockefeller Center, and it was so crowded. The police had several streets blocked off to redirect the flow of foot traffic and it was so inconvenient. The tree was beautiful, as it always is. I love just taking a second to stand there, looking at the tree, and block everything else out as best I can to just appreciate the moment. It's a small thing but sometimes you need to remind yourself to take a moment to appreciate the small things. Another great experience to put on your to-do list for Christmas in New York is to see The Rockettes! The Radio City Christmas Spectacular has been a favorite of ours for basically our whole lives and the show gets better every year! Plus, seeing a show in one of the most famous theaters in the world is an experience in and of itself.

 The Saks Fifth Avenue flagship store definitely had everyone beat in terms of decorations. Their windows were a fashion lovers dream, they had a light show that went along to music, and the inside was a literal winter wonderland! Other great ones to see are obviously Macy's, Cartier, Tiffany & Co. and Bergdorf Goodman.


After we made a quick stop into Tiffany's (for reasons), we headed to our main destination - The Plaza. It is literal #goals and we dream of staying there one day. Of course, we were inspired by our main girl Eloise, and lucky for us there was an Eloise store on the bottom floor. We probably spent way to much time in there for people who did not have any children with them, but we had a blast. They also have a killer food court set up on the ground floor and you don't have to be staying at the hotel to enjoy it! 

During the day, New York City at Christmastime is amazing, but at night it is absolutely magical. After we left The Plaza we wandered around a bit, just taking everything in and enjoying spending time together. We somehow wandered our way to a place any Gossip Girl lover will recognize - The New York Palace, aka home to the van der Woodsen's. Basking in all the GG glory that happened in this spot was the perfect way to end the day and walking back past Rock Center to see the tree one last time was icing on the cake.


Sunday was the most relaxed of all days, and we needed it after walking one hundred something blocks the day before. We went up to Nolita to have brunch at The Butcher's Daughter - but it was crazy packed. Without a reservation we knew there was no way we would get in there anytime soon, so we went searching for another place. Everything was so busy we hopped back on the train to the Financial District and ended up having "brunch" at Potbelly's. We didn't have a problem with this because we're both have massive heart eyes for this glorious sandwich shop. If you have the chance to have their Chicken Pot Pie Soup - DO IT. It's heaven in a cup, actually.  

Then, we ventured over to the Seaport to see their Christmas tree and to see if The Taylor Swift Experience was an actual thing - it is. I would not recommend you go though, unless you are a die hard Swiftie, then who am I to stop you? It was the coldest day of the whole weekend so we were freezing our butts off, but South Street Seaport is a beautiful area - and we got to see where the Tommy x Gigi show was held during NYFW last September.


So that's it for our weekend in New York. We had an absolute blast exploring the city, binged the newest season of Fuller House and eating way too many Chocolate Peppermint cupcakes. A weekend with your best is always the best and doing in the city we both love made it that much better!

We'll be uploading a vlog of our trip this week!



Another Year of Realizing Stuff

January 15, 2017

As we all know, 2016 seems to have left most of the population with a sour taste in their mouth. Everyone is so pumped to start a new year and forget about all of last year's low notes, but let's not forget that there were a few high notes as well. Do you know what I'm getting at? I think Kylie does. 

Ah yes, 2016: The Year of Realizing Stuff. If nothing else, let us remember that gem came out of the wreckage that was 2016. But guess what, 2016 cannot exclusively be the year of realizing stuff, my friends. Every year needs to be the year of realizing stuff. So in the spirit of new beginnings, here's a few things I have personally decided to put on my realizing radar for 2017. 


Upgrade: Now that I'm officially settled into my apartment (four months after arrival), I'm beginning to realize little things that could make my home a bit homier. The first step in my plan is curating a new gallery wall for the living room (thank the internet gawds for blessing us with etsy). 

Motivate: In all the hustle of adjusting to a new city, I kind of forgot to hustle my butt to the gym. It's so much easier to keep chasing your goals when you are healthy and full of energy. I started by reaching out to my circle of friends. Luckily for me, one of my bests is a Pilates instructor, so now I'm planking for my life every week! My friends and I have also started reading "Eat Pretty, Live Well", a journal that will help to keep us accountable and motivated!

Organize: My apartment, my closet, my planner, my life. Just all of it. I love organization, so this isn't even a chore, there's just so much of it! I'm already busy breaking in my new planner for 2017, and I'm ashamed of how much joy it brings me.

Tune In: Over the past few months, I have not been nice to myself. I've been eating poorly, working twenty hour days, and wearing myself way too thin. Instead of feeling accomplished and happy, the constant work and pressure just made me feel tired, used up, and bloated from stress (I know, it was so gross). The most important lesson I need to learn this year is how to be a human (and not a sad robot). I need to listen to my body and stop the constant stress and pressure. Starting your day with quiet time and meditation is a great way to begin to connect with yourself (but let's be real, so is getting enough sleep and eating properly).

Treat: You are amazing. You work so hard. You deserve a cookie...or a face mask...or those shoes. I've been so worried about money and budgeting over the past couple months that I did not treat myself, not once. Y'all that kind of behavior is self-destructive. So now I do little treat yo self every week (love you Aziz). In all the hustle and bustle that is life in your twenties, please do not forget that you are worth that treat yo self. 

So by all means, leave the majority of 2016 in 2016, but don't forget that you're still allowed to realize stuff (Or maybe things).


Weekend Update

January 8, 2017

Happy Sunday! This weekend has gone by too fast, but I think most weekends feel like they aren't long enough, right? Georgia had some snow yesterday. You'd seriously think we had found out the world was coming to an end. Friday everyone left work early to try to "get home before the snow" (flashbacks to "snowpocolypse 2014") and the supermarkets were like The Hunger Games. In the end we didn't get that much snow and we were able to drive again after lunch, so not very exciting. Nonetheless the weekend was mostly spend indoors catching up on my shows and coming up with new #content for the blog. That being said, I've come across a few things lately that I wanted to share - because I really enjoyed them and they made me happy - so hopefully they'll do the same for you!

Anthropologie
I'm almost scared to admit this, but in the past I was not the biggest Anthro fan. It just never really fit my style and I found the stores a bit too overwhelming, but lately I have been in LOVE with it. Seriously, I'm on the website all the time. There's a store really close to where I work so every so often I will just go in to "browse". Just being in the store makes me so happy! I don't understand it, but I won't question it. Anyway, I'm loving so many things from there and I want to buy it all! Like I mentioned in my last post, I'm in the process of switching up my style and I have a feeling Anthropologie will be taking up a lot more space in my closet very soon.


The Millennial Paradox
I saw this video after someone posted it on Facebook and I've been obsessed with it ever since. It's kind of like a TED talk, but basically this guy is explaining why people find Millennials so different (and difficult to work with). It's fascinating to listen to if you're a Millennial, or if you're at all interested in psychology type things. It's only about 15 minutes, so definitely take some time to watch. It's an eye opener.


Disney Instagram Accounts 
My next trip to Disney is less than a week away and I could not be more excited! I've been waiting for this for months and now that it's finally here I find myself being a bit obsessive when it comes to following Disney themed Instagrams. Just looking at pictures of Disney really hypes me up. Some of my favorites are: OhYeahDisney, Disney Single Rider, Abby Corkins, The Pixie Traveler, DisneyWithSara and The Addictive Side of Disney (just to name a few!). These people seriously deserve major credit for being so amazing at capturing the magic of Disney!

Gillian At Home
I discovered Gillian's YouTube channel, Gillian At Home, back in March when literally all I did all day everyday was watch people's vlogs from their trips to Disney World (I was in a Post-Disney Depression) and she quickly became one of my favorite vloggers! Her vlogs from her trips to Disney are absolutely hilarious (especially when she goes with her sister) and I began rewatching them this past week. I usually watch them as I'm getting ready for work because they not only get me psyched for my own trip to Disney, but they just generally put me in a great mood. She's very positive and very real so you feel like you're talking to a friend. I highly recommend checking out her videos!



How To Worry Less
One of the things I've been trying to do the last few months has been to worry less. I always find myself worry about things before they even happen and in my mind I make the situation seem much worse than it actually is. My mom always tells me "don't worry trouble", meaning don't make something out of nothing. I try to remember that, and sometimes it helps, but other times it doesn't. I have found these tips on Pinterest and I think they'll be very helpful in just reminding me to worry about things so much. 


Hope you all had a great and safe weekend. Remember, a Sunday well spend brings a week of content!
