A great holiday/wintery dessert are homemade s'mores! I love making these and sharing it with the family. It tastes so good and it's so easy to make! (If you are a child, please have an adult supervisor to watch you make your s'mores!)
- I recommend reading this process before performing it!
We all have our tough and dragging days. But don't let that be your life. The only way to make life not boring and full of meaning is to be happy. To start off the upcoming New Years, I thought this could be added into your New Year's Resolution List: Be Happy! Here's a few remedies:
1. Get involved with something new! Experiment! Get occupied! Instead of sitting home and looking at the blank sky on a rainy day, try cooking/baking something new! Reorganize your closet. Try painting and sculpting. The point is, try something new. It's not about being good at it. It's about enjoying the adventure and the process of experiencing something new!
This has been heavily requested by many of my friends, so I thought I would share it with everyone! :) #BacktoSchool
As a person who loves using and organizing agendas, I have a lot of experience and I have a set system I've used for nearly 3 years already. I've always preferred agendas over tech-calendars/planners just because it's much easier to customize. This system keeps me on task while not spending a crazy amount of time trying to figure out the symbols or colors to use when I'm writing down each task, especially considering the limited amount of time you have between classes.
I would suggest for you to use symbols/colors YOU are used to. This can allow you to have a smoother transition into this organization system :)
MATERIALS NEEDED: (completely customizable)
1. Agenda- I'm using the Lily Pulitzer Agenda. It has lots of space for you to write homework, tasks and to dos. And the pattern is just super fun and cute :) The organization in the agenda itself is already neatly organized so your work is cut out for you. Choose an agenda that works well for YOU!
Hey girlies, here's a review of one of my favorite products! It's the Maybelline 24 Hour Color Tattoos! They have such a wide range of colors and they've been in stores for a very long time already. These products definitely deserve the popularity they already have. These products are so worth your buy too! They last for such a long time and are affordable! (Available at drugstores, target, etc.) (Around $7-10 per shadow)

I personally love this product and my review will be based on what I experienced with this product :)
So, first off I have normal eyelids but they sometimes do get oily at the end of the day.
These products come in such flattering colors, both in colorful eyeshadows and in neutrals. I personally love the neutrals more.
Ever have dozens of bows and hair clips just lying around the house? Lying all over your dresser? Well, I've come up with an idea that can easily organize your hair clips! It's simple, affordable, and a very EASY DIY! Customizable too!

1. Transparent Glass Cup (Large enough to hold your hair accessories)
Dear Cat, Hey Cat! So I came across your blog one day and I think you're doing a great job on it! I also have a question. Recently, I have decided that I wanted to become an Optometrist (eye doctor) when I got older. Ever since I've gotten contacts, I was fascinated by the human eye! I had the confidence to tell my parents and they are backing me up100%. Now, I know you're probably not an expert in eyes but I just wanna know where I could start off. I'm in 8th grade and have tons of homework every night. I just want to ask you where I can start off in studying for that field. Or some study habits that I can use in studying for when I have a lot of homework because I want to be 100% prepared for all the challenging courses I have to take in high school and college. Thanks :), Emily xx
Leading a Healthy Lifestyle is essential for a healthy, happy life. Nowadays, Americans are eating way too much than what an actual portion should be. Did you know that our American portions of food are 2x as much as any other foreign country? It's not wrong to eat too much... maybe you're just hungry. But the important factor is whether your food has the right vitamins and minerals your body needs. You can consume the most food in the world, but it has to have the necessary amount of vitamins. Or else, it's just a waste of food. Our modern foods are mostly contained of calories and sugars more than vitamins and minerals. This means that we are consuming more junk food than vitamins and minerals. Eating all that junk food and consuming all those calories would only build up our excessive body fats. Sadly, our body is attracted to junk food more. These junk foods barely have any minerals. Not enough minerals makes our body function not properly.
There's dozens of purses out there in different varieties of styles. One of the most used ones suitable for all occasions is a clutch. Clutches are small enough to fit your needs but not as big as a purse. They're great for shopping, parties, and just to run your daily errands. As I said, they're great for everywhere! Here are some stuff I keep in my clutch!
1.) Phone- always have to have my phone with me at all times. No matter what. Schedules, To-Dos, contacts, basically my life is in that phone. My phone is similar to a planner... but a digital version. It's the same for every person!
I always have a specific craving for each month. Is it just me, or does this happen to everyone? Sometimes, I crave for Cheerios, sometimes cereal. Other times, chips, or pasta. I have a very weird stomach, I guess you can say?
So, for the month of November, I have been craving so much for Candy. I know it's not healthy for me but I love eating candy this month. I don't know why. Maybe it's because I missed Halloween and didn't get candy for Halloween? Either way, I love eating candy this month. I always have a piece of dark chocolate with me in my purse. But, since I'm also on my Thanksgiving vacation, I bought tons of snacks for me to eat on my road trip. Part of it is candy.
So what's my favorite type to eat right now? Milk Chocolate Raisinets and Mini Reese's. I basically eat 3-4 small Reese's a day and a handful of raisins. It's really funny how much I crave it!!! But now that I've eaten lots of it, I think I'm done with candy for a few months already. Hahaha. Throughout this week, I limited myself from candy and I haven't been craving it that much!! It's pretty weird. The only thing I make once a week (usually on weekends) are holiday, wintery drinks. Like, White chocolate peppermint mocha or a Peanut Butter Hot Chocolate Drink. Whenever I have these drinks, it just boosts my spirits and makes me have the holiday, wintery feeling. But, I do have to remind myself that I can't have THAT much a week, or else I get a sugar high.
So that's my craving of the month! Xoxo, C
