november favorites

Woah! So once again, bear with me as I play some serious catch up... 

Where is the time going? (I missed an entire month!)

1. I recently got a new Camelback and forgot how obsessed I am. I always forget how much I love being hydrated and this water bottle seems to make that a no-brainer for me.

2. I don't know about you, but for me fall and winter months mean hello chapped lips. I just got around to picking up the new Raspberry Pomegranate EOS lip balm (love it)

3. During exam time I have a love/hate relationship with my leggings (yes, they become pants) Although, if you are like me you are always making sure that your leggings aren't see through. I found some excellent black cotton leggings from Charlotte Russe for $5... can't beat that!

4. For me, fall weather means warm and home style cooking. Lately my crock pot has been working double time (thanks little buddy)... mmm homemade chicken noodle soup!

5.  yeah yeah, I am well aware that I shouldn't be binge watching Netflix during exam time. But, but, but... I can't help it!

6. As you already know my Lilly agenda doesn't leave my side (or bag) and exam time is the perfect reason for that. Helps me keep my head on straight! Let's be honest, otherwise I would lose it.

7. Colder weather makes me crave hot beverages. Here is one of my favorites! Try it with a little sugar and lemon.

8. Another thing I revert back to during exam time is the 90's... bring out the hair claws! It is just too easy to wake up and not care so I love pulling my hair half up with one of these babies.

9. It's scarf season ladies!!! There really isn't much need for an explanation here. Break em out!

10. I recently got a new color from the Color Club collection and have fallen in love... Baldwin Blues.

NYE

This year when I think about my new years eve outfit of choice I have been seriously leaning towards black and gold! I have really fallen in love with this color combo lately, and can't wait to show off a black and gold outfit of my own tomorrow night. Here are some suggestions. 

Cheers to an absolutely fabulous new year!

Connected to a Cricut!

Christmas has come and almost gone... and it left me with a new toy! As a future teacher I am constantly thinking of ways to spice up my first classroom environment (also ways to make life easier for myself) This year I received a Cricut Mini for Christmas and can't wait to put it to work. There are so many adorable crafts, cards, and cuts you can make with this awesome machine. Not to mention my sister got me the perfect cartridge to match my Owl theme for my classroom. I am so excited to show everyone how much of a "hoot" my class will be. Stay tuned for a ton of fun crafts and projects. 

tis the season
