    My Go-To Jewelry for Summer

    As the sun begins replacing those long grey days that have been taking over Portland, I look at my wardrobe with fresh eyes. Goodbye sweaters and hello linen! And with these fabric changes come some jewelry swaps. I don’t wear a lot of jewelry because jingling isn’t my thing, so I choose pieces that are more dainty but are statements in their own way. Summer jewelry shouldn’t be heavy, and should be able to go with a a variety of outfits. I love all of these pieces, and have

Which is fantastic, considering that the first day of summer is in a month. To celebrate, I’ve been starting my prep for what products will be my go-to for the hottest months.

    Summer Beauty Essentials

    Anyone else sweating? Summer is finally upon us and it’s time to update our beauty routines again! That means we’re trading in our heavy foundations and dark colours for light blushes and deodorant. As we make the change it is very important that our makeup bag/toiletry kit switches out in order to look our best and not sweat our entire face off. Not to mention how uncomfortable the wrong beauty products can feel in the hot summer sun. Summer is about feeling light and airy i

    Quick Update and Stories About My Tent

    Update: My laptop (which has been part of me for the last two years) is having some difficulties, so posting may be a bit slim in the next week or so. But I will tug my mum’s arm and twist and pull until she lets me use hers to write something! Stories about my tent: So, last night I decided to have a bit of a party in my backyard with two of my besties. We had corn chips, sleeping bags, a lantern, the whole experience. It was quite fun and something I needed before traveling

    “Summer is kind of like the ultimate one-night stand: hot as hell, totally thrilling, and gone before you know it.”-Cosmopolitan It’s almost summer. Finally! It’s been a grueling nine months of homework, tests, and jeans and sweatshirts. Who isn’t ready for bright weather and shorts? And, of course, the great summer adventures you are sure to have!
