I looked around my house today thinking of all the things that I wanted to bring with me to my dorm next school year. But what really stood out to me was all the things that I definitely
did not want to take. For example,
Messes.
I've had this jewelry box since middle school. The top box can come off so that you can store things underneath.
Not a good idea. There is no place to put necklaces or bracelets to hang so they end up just being a tangled mess. I don't have a makeup organizer so I just try to put them in random places to find later. You would think that these messes are due to my own laziness which is only partly true.
If you have the right organizer, being neat would come easier leading to less messes.
My mom got me this plastic bin from Walmart for the very purpose of organizing my makeup. A month later, it looked like this. Brushes. eyeliners, mascara, and lip products look neater and stay cleaner when put upright. Try to find a makeup organizer with different compartments that can separate the different products.
Tangled Headphones.
The worst. Keep your headphones in one place. If you bring them around everywhere, they end up tangled and in knots. Get into the habit of rolling them up or consistently placing them in spots so they'll be ready for use.
Beware the photos below!

Today I went shopping with my Grandma. She's not rich or anything, but she definitely has a great taste for fashion. (Apparently she's never been in a dollar store!?!)
She gave us some cash to use for future college stuff, but she wanted to buy us a gift too. As we were shopping, my dad was saying how he remembered shopping for our clothes at Aeropostale in middle school. We used to wear Aeropostale t-shirts with a jacket, skinny jeans, and converse/vans/sperrys. Oh and headbands were popular then too. And straightening your hair was a must!
I wouldn't say I have a fashion sense/style but whatever I have, it has certainly improved over the years. I'm really into bows, scarves, and cute skirts now. I kind of can't wait for college though. I visited UH earlier in the year, and everybody wore t-shirts and plain clothes. My kind of life.
From sneakers to actually wearing high heels and not tripping, it's been cool to look back on my so-called Style. (Can we get some Taylor Swift on now? Sort of obsessed with her) I digress.
So as I get ready for college, let's see some things that caught me eye.
My sister got these shoes for Graduation. They aren't too tall so they're perfect for not tripping across the stage!
I got these Coach flats and Steve Madden sunglasses. Honestly, my sister and I got these sunglasses so that we could wear them while blaring music in our car. Good reason to buy? I think so;)
