An update!
Hey y’all, Hannah here! I just want to apologize for not posting as often. I’ve been very busy since school let out a month ago so I though I would tell y’all what I’ve been up to. Since I am free for summer, I have gotten a lot more hours at work so that’s been taking up a majority of my time. I also had college orientation a week ago and it was okay, but not what I...

Best online shopping!
Red Dress Boutique-The Red Dress Boutique is located in Athens, Ga and their clothes are absolutely adorable! I would describe the site as being boho-prep. They carry must-have Summer pieces such as colored denim and bauble jewelry. RDB is also great for football season, they have a variety of Judith March gameday dresses.
Tobi-Tobi.com offers chic, edgy clothing. The great thing about this site...
Memorial Day!
Hello beautiful followers!
I’ve been on a health kick lately ladies. I have discovered the ultimate replacement for potato chips! … KALE CHIPS (I know, I know, they sound terrible) However, I promise if you cook them correctly you won’t be disappointed. Make sure you dry the kale completely before topping with oil and salt. My leaves were a little too watered down so I had to...
Happy monday followers!
I am terribly sorry I have been mia during exam time and the first few weeks of summer. However, every monday it just seemed to slip my mind to write a post. I even had planned my topic last week and I still forgot.
On a happier note I joined a gym today and I am so very excited about it. Summer is here! This means all the carolina girls out there need to be working on those fit bodies :)

Beauty Haul
Beauty Haul!
Sorry to our, if any, male readers. I can’t guarantee this post is going to be incredibly fascinating. Yesterday, I had the HUGE pleasure of going to visit a Sephora. Now, if y’all have one close by you, you probably do this as a regular thing. BUT I DON’T. I suffer from Sephora withdrawals. The only eyeliner I use is from Sephora, and now mascara, etc. So, obviously it’s a little bit...

Pandora!
Sorry this is late guys! I started summer session yesterday and had tons of orientation work to do but here we are.
I adore free music platforms like no other. Despite the occasional ad I think that they are one of the best ways to listen to your music and to find new songs and artist that you love.
Just fyi the main websites I use are pandora, grooveshark, and spotify. But today I want to...

Body Image
Don’t get me wrong, body image is a topic brought up often. Even though this is a common topic, it wasn’t enough to distract me away from negative thoughts from my own body.
We are surrounded by a surreal idea of body image everywhere. In magazines, on TV, in movies, and even on our own world of Tumblr, where sometimes we just want to get away from these body images.
My eating and body image...

To our beautiful followers-
I am SO sorry. I promise I haven’t been trying to neglect y’all. The Thursday prior to this was part of my crazy finals week..I had an exam on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Not to forget, I also was packing up everything to move back home (for 3 weeks) this summer! I just completed my last final on Wednesday before heading to the beach to...

Summer reading list!
Hi guys! I hope all of ya’ll are surviving your finals, surviving the studying, or have survived your finals!
I just finished my Spring semester up yesterday and I have two weeks before my Summer semester starts up so I am working very hard to put a dent into my summer reading list! It is pretty short right now, but I thought I would share it and get your commentary and recommendations...

Reflection.
In less than a month I will be graduating from high school. For me, high school was not a pleasant experience and I can’t say that I’ll miss it. I wish that I would have been more social and would have made more friends. I’m incredibly grateful for the group of people that I’ve been close with this year. I’ll miss coming home to my own bed everyday instead of a dorm...

Summer Plans!
Hey everyone!
Can you believe summer is almost here already! I personally cannot believe that tomorrow is my last day of classes, and then I am done with exams on Thursday! Where did my freshman year go?! It’s pretty sad that its all over since it was such an amazing experience, but I think we can all say we are beyond stoked for SUMMER!
Just the other day, I found a link on my...

Dressing Appropriately
Hey y’all!
So, I’m here to sound like your mom for the week…haha.
A thing that’s been bothering lately is how students (particularly college students, especially in my classes) have been dressing to present their paper, PowerPoint, or project, whatever it may be.
Throughout the past couple of weeks in all of my classes, we’ve been giving presentations. Regardless of whether it was my least...

I love love love perfume. Like I have a drawer in my makeup desk for just my perfumes.

Imagine being a 13 year old girl.
Now imagine being a 13 year old girl with low self-esteem who then comes home from school, turns on the TV only to see a Victoria’s Secret commercial. These girls then think to themselves, “why don’t I look like this?” “I’m so fat compared to her.” These constant feelings can lead to depression, starvation and obsessively excising.
In today’s society media and...

Weekend Getaway
Hey everyone! This past weekend, I was lucky enough to go up to Myrtle Beach for one of my best friend’s birthdays! She lives right outside Myrtle, but we spent the weekend in an oceanfront hotel right on the boulevard! We had such a great time and even though we only have a week left of school, it was sad for the weekend to come to a close!
The road trip up from school was such a good...

Spring Necessities
Hey y’all! So, if you’re like me, I definitely am sooo picky about beauty products/accessories in the spring! The weather is heating up and you’re out in the sun so much more! I just thought I would list somethings that might help/accessorize your spring outlook.
If you don’t already use it, Moisturizer with at LEAST SPF 15 is a great idea. It helps protect your skin from...

YouTube!
Happy Wednesday guys, I hope all of you are doing well! I don’t know about ya’ll but it has definitely hit that crunch time at school where teacher assign all possible assignments before finals hit.
So, with that said, I thought a good topic for today would be my favorite YouTube channels are. I often watch YouTube videos in between working on assignments because it is a quick way to decompress...

Fitness favorites!
Hey y’all! For this week I thought I would share with you my favorite fitness related things (: I go to the gym about 6 times a week so I would say that being healthy is a major part of my lifestyle.
Nike Tempo Track Shorts-Yes, some people actually do wear these to workout instead of around campus or while running errands. Not only are they incredibly comfortable, but also have Dri-Fit...
It's Masters Week!
It is the beginning of Spring. It is the first Major of the year. It is Spring Break. It is Easter. It is the most beautiful place on Earth. It’s Masters Week down in Augusta, Georgia!
Every Carolina Girl plays golf, loves golf, has a boy who plays golf, or is part of the golf lifestyle. Therefore, the Masters is a huge tradition for anyone and everyone. Personally, The Masters always...
Decisions, Decisions
Hey y’all!
Sorry my blog post was so short last week. I seriously had to do so many things last week, and this week hasn’t been much different- luckily most of my assignments were done by Tuesday! Exams are coming up and the end of the school year will be here before we know it…scary.
Have y’all ever had that kind of a not so great feeling where you’re in a situation and something sounds good,...

March Favorites!
So I know it is a little bit into April but I just wanted to let you guys know what beauty products (and a little something extra!!) I was enjoying for the month of April. Enjoy!
Maybelline color tattoo in bad to the bronze – This has been my go to eye shadow for this month. Pretty much every look I have done has incorporated this product. It has never creased on me and goes on smoothly.

It's a smile, it's a kiss, it's a sip of wine....
It’s that time of year again. When temperatures start to rise and you start wearing seersucker, its obvious that Summer is coming. While the weeks between Spring Break and Summer Break can be filled with stress, exams and papers, it’s important to relax. At times you may want to pull your hair out, but keep in mind that the year will be over before you know it! Try to make the best of...
Reflecting
Sorry for posting Sunday night, but this has been such a crazy and fun-filled weekend! However, I have been lucky to have had some time to reflect on my life as of late! I truly have had the ultimate college experience this past year and cannot wait to see what the future has in store for me! With only 3 weeks left of my freshman year, I feel the need to reflect back on my amazing freshman year in...

For the girls:

Multiple Personalities
Do you ever feel like you aren’t really the same person. I feel this way all the time. I love playing sports more than absolutely anything. It just makes me feel so on top of the world and happy. However, afterwards I want a hot shower and my nails painted and cute clothes. I like going out and having fun but I like going to church on Sunday too. I eat really healthy but I love my fast food...

May the odds ever be in your favor!
Is anyone else extremely excited about the Hunger Games movie on Friday? I have been obsessed with this series since the first page and it took me about a month to read the entire thing! While I will not be at the midnight premiere, y’all can bet I’ll see it the first day it comes out. However, this book is incredibly hard to describe and I think the description from barnesandnoble.com...

MONDAY AKA A-DAY!
Well, being a hugeeeeee PLL fan I could not talk about anything besides pretty little liars! Tonight was the big night! This event was a web phenomena called A-day. Are you guys fans of the show? I don’t want to talk about the ending because I don’t want to spoil it for anyone who hasn’t seen it. However, I’d just like to hear back from you guys on what you think of the...
The Little Things
Recently, and this may come to a surprise to some (I don’t mind sharing), I’ve had issues remaining happy. Usually, I’m a very cheery person and don’t get me wrong, I love life, but sometimes there’s just periods where you’re in kind of a slump! I compiled a list of tiny things that make me smile (and hopefully, you too!):
1.) Running or any type of exercise – You know truer words haven’t been...

Long hair.... We do care!
Hi guys! I hope all of you have had a fabulous Wednesday.
I have been growing my hair out for probably about a year now and so I wanted to give all of you lovelies tips that I have come up with and/or acquired through the process :)
The ends of your hair are the oldest. This means that they have been there with you through all of your straight hair days and forgetting to put in heat...

Most of y’all have probably heard these before but you aren’t from around these parts you may be a tad confused as to what they mean:

Heritage not Hate
Recently, I received a anon comment on my personal blog about how I post pictures of the confederate flag. The anon told me that I needed to “grow up” and that this was 2012. This comment truly bothered me. I am completely captivated by American history and learning about the Civil war. It pains me to think that an American would want to forget where we came from. That is the only way...

What do you do when you don’t know what to do?
So, I begin this entry with a question a lot of college (and high-school, although not as much pressure) students have: “What am I going to do with my life?” I have heard this question asked by my colleagues as a college freshman more times than I have heard what is going to be served at the dining hall that night.
Unfortunately, I believe this is something that does take a huge toll on college...

Reading!
“Reading makes you better at everything.” This is pretty much my motto for reading period. I try to read as many books as I can, which can be a bit hard if you factor in all the things that life throws at you. But I will forever have a list of books I want to read and need to buy (and of course I am always up for some recommendations!) So with all of that said I though I would give...
Self Esteem.
I know that for a lot of people out there high school can be a tough place, and it’s not always the school work that’s stressing you out. I know, for me at least, that bullying has always been an issue. Someone may indirectly or directly say rude things about your appearance, weight, ext., but the thing to remember is the person who said it is just as insecure as you are. They...
