The second Christmas for all Lilly lovers has arrived and trust me I was refreshing my browser every 2 seconds when 6:50 rolled around for a good ten minutes this morning, I was determined. I am actually so impressed and thrilled with the turnout of what I got, I love all the pieces I purchased and think they’re all SO fun, AND all for under $200…heck yes!? So here is a little sneak peek at what I found, but fear not, there is certainly more items on the website so make sure you go check it out!

my finds:

seriously though, how fun are all of these prints and i am currently drooling over that bag! ah i’m so excited for Lilly mail day here soon! Did you grab anything from the Lilly sale? If not HEAD ON OVER!

also just for fun, how actually hilarious is this post from TheLuckyDayBlog if you did shop the sale…talk about #relatable!

as always, xoxo, happy shopping!

I can’t be the only one who is seriously completely dependent on to-do lists and planners. Sometimes i turn to my phone when I have something quick I need to remember, but I’m usually much more satisfied to physically cross something off my to-do list, pen and paper and all that jazz. I’m always on the hunt for cute to-do lists. Target’s dollar spot is usually my go-to spot for cheap but cute ones, (after all I can’t justify spending a bunch of cash on paper). However I just came across the CUTEST printable to-do list that is PERFECTO for bloggers or anyone who is striving to get shiz done! Check out the link here to print it!

I’m in love with how simple and to the point it is, and makes you think about what you REALLY need to prioritize! (which i’m not the greatest at…yet). Let me know, Do you love to do lists as well?

summers are such a vital part of life in the sense that is is such a learning period of time. maybe not textbook and essay type learning, but the kind of learning that makes your heart grow a little bigger. this summer was no exception and was packed to the brim with lesson upon lesson of life; i loved them all. life is weird like that – giving you stations and circumstances you don’t think you’ll be able to handle at the moment, only to have yourself look back with pride on how well you really did handle it and how amazingly it impacted your life. so here are my little words of lesson wisdom

1)tidy space tidy mind. clean your room. it impacts your mood a lot more than you think when a few clothes are sitting on the floor or your bed isn’t made 2)give lots of hugs. people appreciate you, let them know. it’s never ever ever wrong to over-love someone. everyone needs a little love. 3)don’t let one person get you down. if their vibe isn’t impacting you in a positive manner, don’t listen to them. they have their opinions and you have yours, always stick with yours. 4)you can never be too excited about something and people who tell you to calm down, are not the kind of people you need in your life. 5)if you want it, get it. if you can dream it, do it. goals don’t get reached until you work for them, but the working pays off i promise. 6)it’s okay to be upset about big (or little) things break up with a “thought he was the one” kinda guy? have a stomach bug? the store not have the cutest shoes in your size? all OKAY things to get upset over but not for more than 5 days…. because onto…7)life goes on. you grow up a little more each day and you learn a lot more every minute. it’s crazy how much we change. 8)change is hard, but change is okay. don’t expect to automatically be okay with all big changes in your life, but you adjust quickly 9)ice cream every day never hurt anyone sweets are lifesavers. use them wisely. 10)love yourself. so much.

love yourself, life, and get excited about everything.
