Two posts in one day? Call me crazy. or really bored. or procrastinating homework…your pick 🙂 Coming home to mail is one of my FAVORITE things, and coming home to goodies in the mail is even more fantastic! I teamed up with Brooke from For Posh Sake on Etsy to show you one of the cutest Etsy shops out there. She sent me some of her most popular goodies that I helped pick out and think they’re even cuter in person than on her Etsy shop! I picked out an adorable tumbler and keychain (both monogrammed of course.) The tumbler has a straw that doesn’t fall out but you can also take the straw out and it has a closable lid for sipping, too perfect. It’s so stinkin cute and I cannot wait to sip some summer smoothies in it! The keychain is monogrammed acrylic with a small tassle and the gold and pink combo are seriously too cute! I told her to leave the colors for everything up to her and she did an amazing job! So if you’re looking for a gift for someone, or yourself, check out here amazing shop HERE, you won’t regret it!

HELLO FRIENDS! Sorry about the insanely long absence of myself on this blog, it’s been a crazy few weeks. BUT I come back with an exciting announcement for you all! I got to get in contact and email with my blog idol (she’s pretty stinkin cool I promise) and do a little interview with her and ask her a few questions for my page! So let’s hop right into it!

1. How did you know you wanted to start a blog? Honestly, I didn’t. I barely even knew what a blog was when my best friend told me she wanted to make one, and so I did too as a little friendly competition just because I thought it would be fun. This was back in eighth grade, and I’ve been loving it since! I honestly never thought it would last more than a week, but I’m so glad it has 😉
 
2. What tips do you give for new bloggers? Be original, consistent, and creative. 
 
3. Favorite fashion trends at the moment? Chic sneakers and skinny jeans. I’m all for simplistic ensembles!
 
4. Favorite hobbies that don’t include blogging? Uhh… Devouring chocolate! Also, shopping obviously, exploring (I spend a lot of my Saturday afternoons exploring downtown), running, playing field hockey, just doing things with friends!
 
5. Do you see yourself blogging in the future? Yes. I’m probably going to head down some sort of different path with my blog in the future but I think the core of what I do now will still remain- at least I hope!
 
6. Why do you blog? This is a good question! I blog partly because I spend way too much time shopping online and this is a good excuse for saying I’m being productive (kind of kidding, not really), but in all seriousness, I blog because I absolutely love it. I love the ambiance and environment of sharing what I’m into, what I’m loving, what I’m doing, etc. in a way that I can learn more about others and the fashion and business industries and chronicle my life to look back on, too. It’s just a really cool big learning experience everyday.
 
7. tips on the perfect insta? Oooh.. tough. Here’s a post on how I edit my pictures, but when it comes to taking them I would say just try to stick to certain elements or colors that will compile your feed and go from there! You might notice on my feed, I tend to stick to blues!
So there is a few words from the snazziest blogger gal I know! Go check out here blog (here) and let me know whatcha think! Thanks Frannie for the interview! Have a relaxing weekend, summer is almost here!
xoxo, Allison

Happy weekend mis amigos! Spring is continuously making me happy and I’ve been searching the depths of Pinterest for the happiest spring tidbits! Although not all of them have to do with sunshine considering Nebraska weather is being quite moody lately with snow one day and 75 degrees the next…not complaining just curious. The rain has been oh so nice in the mornings because dark and rainy drives to school are my favorite thing in the world. throw in some John Mayer and *heart eyes emoji*! enough rambling and onto the good stuff:

Lemon Cake// Oh my oh my. I’m not a huge sweet tooth but gimme any type of fruity dessert and I’m all over it. Lemon has to be one of my favorite dessert flavors and this recipe looks heavenly

Hair Secret// I have pretty naturally wavy hair but I curl it pretty often when dressing up. I have both a curling wand and curling iron but do I whatsoever know the difference or which to use when? Ha! no. I can pretend I do all I want but it’s a 100% “uhh let’s just use this one today” type of decision! This post was mind-blowing to me and will totally be something to keep in mind from now on!

green dranks// so I’m not the HEALTHIEST gal considering girl scout cookies and popcorn are my best friends but I’m all about sneaking in greens when I can. My household is filled with big smoothie people so we LOVE to throw in spinach when possible (and when the little bro doesn’t notice). This recipe for a peanut butter chocolate green smoothie is filled with stuff you already have at home so try it out!

more dranks// spring warm weather means soon comes summer which means bring on the pool. these fruit infused detox waters are perfect to prepare or to get rid of the case of the sniffles I’m currently suffering from.

happy art// this free printable just makes me smile

Hope you enjoy these links as much as I do! Have a happy rest of your day!

xoxo, Allison
