Recipe to Remember
One food I always love is homemade jam. My family is really big on making jam from scratch, and this Mexican Vanilla Peach Jam is definitely going to be a project for me in the near future. Yumm.

Recipe to Remember
Last summer I made this Strawberry Shortcake from scratch. It was heavenly, and although the recipe did take some time, the results were well worth the effort. Yummm.

This summer, I have rediscovered my passion for reading. During the school year I often find myself feeling so bogged down with schoolwork, sorority events, and work tasks, that I rarely have time to read what I would like to. In rediscovering this passion, and finding myself spending hours upon hours reading in the sun, I love the idea of creating a space to be surrounded by stories, and...
Beauty Book
Get a facial at least twice a year. Okay so yeah, you might be thinking that it’s too prissy, and high-maintenance, but trust that if you are only going twice a year, you can call yourself anything but high-maintenance. The reason I say this is because at the start of the summer, I used a gift card I got from my sister for Christmas to get a facial. Yeah the facial was relaxing and all...
Funny Shizz of the Day
So I know that waking up before 7am doesn’t sound appealing to most, but for me it hasn’t been as dreadful as I thought it might be. But, if you do happen to find yourself up before the crack of dawn, then turn on the radio, talk show hosts are funny as hell in the morning.

If you’re like me, and you find yourself loathing the length of your hair (it’s not yet long enough), and you adore soft curls, I have a tip for you! Curl only the midsection of your hair! Let me explain:
1. Divide your hair into sections (I like to start from the bottom-up, and pin the rest of your hair on top of your head)
2. In each layer, take sections of your blow-dried hair...

Lesson Learned
When telling people that we close at 9:30am, and giving them warnings to print out their documents, be sure to say it meanly. Otherwise, they will stay until 9:40am, and be snotty about needing to print something for a class.
Hard Work
Sometimes I find myself wondering if all of the hard work is worth it. If all of the effort and the amount of heart and soul I pour into things that matter to me will all be worth it in the end. Today, I got a glimpse of just how much hard work can pay off. A strong work ethic is something that I value greatly in myself, and in other people. I believe that little will come for someone who is...
