Hi there! We’ve all had those moments when we’re staring at the abundance of clothes in our closets and think that despite all the clothes that surround you, you have absolutely nothing to wear. It’s a struggle for us all, so I decided that today, I’d share with you my top tips for getting rid of that nasty bug before it can evolve into something worse and make you late for wherever you’re going or something as equally awful.

Hi there! Gosh, it’s been almost a week, I’m so sorry I haven’t been able to update. Despite having survived exams/summative week twice now, I’d probably say that my busiest week so far in terms of school has probably been this past week with the end of summer school. When the material taught in two joint courses (Civics and Careers) are condensed into 15 days, it can get a bit much.

After working my butt off for those three weeks and enjoying the luxury of seeing my closest friends every one of those days, I’m done and free and I couldn’t be more excited to get my summer going. That means that my little nook here of the internet won’t get sadly neglected and set aside whenever important school deadlines arise and posts will become more regular. I think that calls for a “YAY,” right?

Right.

Anyway, my exam was on Thursday morning and after I finished with that, my mom drove me to IKEA and I got to spend a nice couple hours in there just wandering around and picking up some things for my room. I just got a couple small items that will help me stay more organised and help keep my room more clean because I really, really need to work on that.

Current Love: That Effortless Look

Hi there! With summer comes heat and with heat comes that feeling of just not wanting to wear too much clothing at all. And no, I don't mean that in a racy manner in the slightest. I just meant that in the hot summer months, the last thing I know I'd want to do is add on layer upon layer of clothing that's going to make me feel as if the humidity was suffocating me.

During the colder months, I'm a huge fan of adding that extra layer or that extra scarf, belt, whatever it may be to complete my outfit, but sometimes, the weather just doesn't allow for it. Which is why I've grown fond of that "effortless" look lately. You know the one the one where the girl who's wearing the ensemble looks like she just threw on that dress and that necklace and it's so well put-together, not too predictable, and looks like it took her hours to come up with that perfect combination, but at the same time, it looked as if it was put together on a whim?

That look.

However, this is not to be confused with sloppy. It's just a really nice outfit that looks beautifully put-together and, well, effortless.

Hi there! How are we already nearly done with July? I guess deciding to take summer school has really cut down my summer quite a bit, but I don’t regret it.

I just really can’t believe that there are only eleven days of July left. Eleven! That’s crazy to me.

From another teenager’s point of view who hasn’t been stuck in summer school for the past two weeks or so, I probably haven’t done very much with my summer, but I am more than ready to get some stuff done this summer! From my summer to-do list, you can probably tell that I have quite a lot to accomplish, so let’s hope that that’s going to happen in the 43 days of summer that I have left.

Speaking of summer school, I’m going to be done with that this week and I couldn’t be more excited. It’s not like it was hard or anything, just really, really tiring for some reason because by the time I get home (which is like 5), I have no motivation to get anything done. On a regular school day, I’m done at the gym at 5, so I would have some adrenaline pumping through me to get school work done and all that. But enough of me complaining – that’s not what you’re here to read.

Summer To-Do: Taking More Photos and What to Do With Them

Hi there! I know that for most of you, you’re knee-deep in summer already, but I’ve been at summer school for the past two weeks, so it hasn’t really hit me that it’s summer yet. However, there’s been one thing that I’ve been doing recently that has made it feel more like the time of the year best known for a teenager’s acts of abandon - taking pictures.

For as long as I could remember, I was the girl who would flinch and cover her face whenever someone brought out a camera or took their phone out to take a selfie while simultaneously dragging me into the frame with them. I was the girl who didn’t really understand why her friends or family would waste time taking photos of food before eating it even if it wasn’t that special to begin with. I was the girl who had less than 200 photos on her phone instead of the 1000+ her friends had.

In short, I didn’t really take pictures unless I had a really stunning view of the sky or some exotic dish.
