Posting Schedule

Image
So if you read this blog ( I really appreciate it by the way) you would have noticed that I haven't been posting everyday like I usually do. It's been very hard to post everyday and now that school is starting up again it's going to be even harder. So I'm making a commitment to post at least three times a week. With this schedule I will be able to provide good content with good photos. Also in the next coming weeks I will be posting more back-to-school posts. I hope this gives more clarification to everyone reading! I hope this clears confusion (if there was any) Live ~Laugh~Love  Pinterest ~ Twitter ~ Facebook ~ Bloglovin

Hey!!!

It's the end of July and you know what that means? Just a few more weeks until school starts! I just wanted to write a little paragraph to get you motivated for the new school year! Now one thing that really helps me is to go back to school shopping. I usually start with the supplies first, I like the deals that the stores have and the nicely decorated notebooks. I'm a total nerd when it comes to school supplies. I also love back to school clothes shopping! Usually I clean out my closet and make room for new clothes. Then to get in the "school spirit" I like to make a party with all my friends before school starts. What do you do before back to school season?

Getting Organized!

Image
So a new school year and season is coming & you know what that means... Back to shopping and preparing yourself mentally for what is to come. An easy way to get organized is to go into your local stores and search the office supply section for things like this cool magnetic board (above). I received this a gift from my mom, she bought it from Dollar General. This is perfect to put on the refrigerator, I can attach papers on it and remind myself of things I nee to get done. One of my FAVORITE office supply things are post-it notes! They are very versatile and come in all shapes and sizes.These work for any and everything I possibly might need! I use them to label folders, binders, etc. The Post-it brand, to be specific, has a lot of "accessories" for office supplies. For example this cute post-it dispenser that I purchased from staples! I love using this when I need to jot down something quick. Lastly the iconic whiteboard calendar. I love this sq...

Explore Your surroundings!

This is a continued, more detailed blog post from my previous one Summer Living . I think on those boring summer days when you don't know what to do, but you want to do something or go somewhere you might want to do some research and find out what's available in your area! Recently I've been going around my own and going to places that are really cool. In the beginning of the month I met up with a friend at a cafĂ© downtown. It was my first time there but it was really cool atmosphere, very laid back. Two Saturdays ago I went to a cool buffet, it's family owned with a neat gift shop & bakery. We grubbed on lunch like there was no tomorrow! They had a wide variety of food, from Mexican to Southern not to mention the large dessert section. This past weekend I went with a friend and my sister to this amazing place with a whole bunch of trampolines. You might have one near you, just check out skyzone.com . This wonderful pace filled with trampolines has do...

Bored & need something to do? Here are some things you can do on summer days/nights! ~In the morning if you're feeling extra motivated go take a walk! Go around your neighborhood and really embrace the environment around you. It's a nice way to get fresh air, a tan & some  exercise. ~Try having lunch as a picnic! Grab a blanket & your lunch and eat outside, enjoy the nice weather. ~Go to your local downtown area and check out your local restaurants & shops. You can be surprised by what you find! ~Have a bonfire and roast marshmallows. Most stores have s'mores ingredients on display. Pick some up and eat chocolate-gooey goodness. ~Become a stargazer, lay out the blanket(again) and observe the sky. ~Grab some friends, go to a park and play manhunt! Manhunt is essentially hide-and-go seek in the dark with a group. Everyone splits into two teams and one team seeks the team that's hidden & when someone is found they go to jail. But a...

Photo editing Apps

I've recently been loving editing my apps for Instagram, whether it's putting on a filter or adding a cool font or sticker. Three apps that I love using are Photo Grid, Pic Collage and Pic Lab. I love using photo grid because of it's filters. This app has many to choose from & in the single collage feature it instantly squares your photos! My favorite filter is Sunshine, it brightens up your picture and gives it a professional look Pic Collage has a lot of backgrounds to choose from and it has a lot of fonts for when you want to write something on you pictures! One thing I love about this app is that it has a focus feature. This feature lets you isolate a part of the picture that you really want to capture. Pic lab has a load of cool backgrounds for pictures and a bunch of unique features like texture & shape. This app also has a bunch of unique filters that I love using. My favorite is Polka Dot, I love how it blurs out the picture but ...

Savings!

Have you ever watched the show extreme couponers? I've recently been watching it and I love to see the people saving so much money and always loved to try but as they state in the show it takes many hours of clipping and researching sale prices. I have some simple tips on how to become a successful couponer and save some money.  1. Get access to coupons. If you have a newspaper subscription the Sunday paper is a great way to get way to get coupons! If you don't want to spend money on the newspaper I suggest finding a free printable coupon site . 2. Take a couple of minutes and find out , whether by internet, phone or in store, how frequently there are sales. Also check if your store multiplies coupons. 3. Once you find out when your sales are in your store you simply have to match the coupon with that sale item and get a great deal ! Things to remember: ~Always make sure to keep your coupons up to date, sometimes forgetting about ...
