Failblog.org is so yesterday. FMyLife.com is old news. The newest thing to sweep across campus is www.Sporcle.com. Now, every Hoya can name every country in the world. In under 15 minutes. It is HIGHLY addictive. Don’t say I didn’t warn you. But it is a lot of fun! -College Prepster
Gifts from the Easter Bunny aka SM: Vera Bradley Highlighters, Vera Bradley Binder Clips, Vera Bradley Post-Its (which match my umbrella!), Dogeared necklace, and bunny sugar cookies!!! Thank you 🙂 My roommate gave me this clipboard! (The H is for my last name!) She was very lucky and went to Florida for Easter break with…
One of my lovelies made a website for a class here at Georgetown. It’s not exactly a preppy topic, but it is pretty thought provoking. Check it out here and explore the different pages. I really like the videos that portray different images from that media that have a negative influence. If you really like what you read…
SM and me down at the waterfront for the regatta on Saturday. Note the VB Umbrella, VV Nor’Easter, and LL Bean Boots! Don’t worry everyone! My Green Apple Vera Bradley umbrella has been replaced! Soccer Mom brought it up to DC this weekend. The print is Cupcakes Pink and I just absolutely love it. My…
I LOVE Dogeared Jewelry so much. The bracelets, necklaces, and earrings come in the sweetest little packages with precious advice. Soccer Mom gave me my first Dogeared necklace my junior year of HS. It was a little tiny key to symbolize the key to my heart. I wore it everyday for about a year, and I…
I’ve been away from the blogging world for a few days now, but have lots to fill you in on 🙂 Above: Soccer Mom & Dad and me in front of Georgetown on Easter morning. Above: Soccer Mom & Dad and me on Friday afternoon after my race. Above: My Californian friend has been OFFICIALLY…
Somehow, I only have two finals out of my five classes. I feel pretty lucky, except I have MANY final papers. I’m currently working on my second to last paper for my ethics class and I’m just about dying doing so. Philosophy is not for everyone, and I believe I am the perfect example. Thinking…
Phew. So this weekend was far from normal. The Heavyweights were scheduled to race UVa here in DC this weekend. Friday would normally be spent doing a shorter workout preparing for the race the next day, but the wind was pretty bad so we had a late launch. Luckily, our coach found a little…
An organization at Georgetown puts on an annual “Diplomatic Ball” where diplomats from a ton of countries come and the students get to mingle with them. When I first heard about it, I wasn’t planning on attending. But then, one of my friends decided to go, so, obviously, I just had to go. I quickly…
#ZarbeesPartner @zarbees is helping us get the best night of sleep possible! Our sleep routines got shaken up after Daylight Savings Time ended, so we are doing what we can to get back on track and get back into good sleep hygiene routines. I’m keeping Zarbees Children’s Sleep Gummies with Melatonin on hand and we added Zarbees Calming Bedtime Spray into our nightly routine– with calming natural lavender and chamomile to set the mood for a restful night of sleep. Plus, with no artificial fragrances, parabens, or petroleum I can rest easy, too. Buy now on Amazon! #FromOurHivetoYours
✨ leave a comment with “SKIN” and I’ll send you all the products mentioned here ✨
I turned 35 in September and while I’ve always tried to take good care of my skin I wanted to really prioritize skincare from the inside out. At this point, I’m not doing any kind of injectables (not that I’m against them broadly speaking btw... just sharing that I haven’t done anything) and I don’t want to do anything invasive. I have made some small adjustments to my everyday life though that has made a difference. In just a few months, I really think my skin has never looked better (and I include infancy here because I unfortunately had baby acne ) and I’m really feeling good:
– Fresh washcloths after cleansing skin (@weezietowels “makeup” washcloths are cute, super soft, and very practical)
– @omniluxled Omnilux Contour Face (this red light therapy mask has CHANGED the game for my skin. I use it 3-4x a week and it only takes 10 minutes per session!)
– @jolieskinco filtered showerhead (I’ve noticed a difference in both my skin AND hair)
– @ritual HyaCera (one capsule every night– it works from the inside out to help reduce the appearance of fine lines)
While I think my skin looks great on its own right now (🙌🏻 love to say that!), it also is serving as the best base for makeup. Sharing my current everyday routine:
– @supergoop Mineral Unseen Sunscreen
– @summerfridays Sheer Skin Tint (shade 1)
– @merit Bronze Balm Sheer Sculpting Bronzer (shade clay)
– @saiebeauty Dew Blush Liquid Cream (shade chilly)
– @jonesroadbeauty Shimmer Face Oil (shade cool rose)
– @sephora collection Eyebrow Gel (shade ebony)
– @honest Extreme Length Mascara
– @urbandecaycosmetics 24/7 Glide On Eyeliner (shade demolition)
– @iliabeauty Balmy Lip Tint (shade lullaby)
girlhood 🫶🏻 find friends who want to do the same little hobbies as you! Went over to @shihstitches’ house yesterday to give her some sourdough starter and go through the basics (I’m *very much* a beginner so I told her to take my lesson with a grain of salt)
PS convinced her to make an IG account! @blueskyehouse
PPS she’s convincing me I really do need a fancy range like her ✨ stunning ✨ @lacanche.usa
Just a girl searching for the perfect digital planner solution. What I have right now is working, technically speaking, but I’m working across platforms and ideally I’d love everything to be in one place. I also have calendar synesthesia (IYKYK) and I physically feel myself in space moving through my calendar, which makes finding a planner difficult because I want/need it to match up with what I see in my head I know this sounds insane but if you also “see” time, you know what I mean!
Right now I’m using:
– Google Sheets to track campaigns/business line items
– Google docs for writing/brainstorming
– Google/Apple Calendars (somehow they’re integrated and I don’t ask questions because it just works...)
– Apple Notes for daily to-dos, random note keeping, and quick jot downs
– Apple Reminders for “must dos” esp w/ deadlines
– Dropbox for photo/file storage
I’m craving a good ole fashioned paper planner but the reality is that I need it to be digital. I need it to integrate with my calendar and remind me of tasks. I need to be able to access it on my computer when I’m working at my desk and on my phone when I’m on the go. I need structure and flexibility?
Does the perfect digital planner exist?! Do I need to overcome my overwhelm and tackle @notionhq? Is an @apple iPad the solution? Do I just keep doing what I’m doing because it’s technically working?
If you’ve stuck around to the end, I appreciate you 🫡
I created a beautiful, custom silk photo album from @printique_by_adorama to remember my sweet dog Hamilton, who passed away earlier this year. Their layflat album captured the colors and details perfectly, making each photo feel so special. It’s a keepsake I’ll cherish forever, and I’m so grateful for the quality and love they put into every page. #printiquepartner
… and yet you must. This week has been the hardest yet. Pressure from work, pressure from myself, pressure from the world. The magnitude of reality feels too much and too heavy. Showing up for my children though when I can barely show up for myself.
We’ve noticed an improvement in Teddy’s vitality and digestion since switching to @primalpetfoods Kibble in the Raw! It’s the easiest way to give him the benefits of raw nutrition without losing the convenience of dry kibble since it’s freeze dried into bites and completely scoopable. You would never guess he’s 11 years old with these moves at the park! #primalpetfoodspartner #ad
