Christmas in the Fall : Dorm Decorating

Hello Lovelies!

So can you believe its November already? I can't! Its crazy how fast this year has been flying by.

Anyways, the other day my friends and I made a trip out to Lowes to buy some sheets of Maple to make our own panels to paint on (because the pre-made panels are much too expensive!) While in Lowes I just couldn't pass by the Christmas section with out browsing… and maybe a little bit of shopping! Since I won't be home until late late December I figured I would like to have the apartment dressed up a little bit for Christmas!

I picked up two boxes of 100bulb multi-colored Christmas lights, a package of red tinsel, and a package of tinsel that was green with ornaments on it!

My sea turtle lights are always up, because I love them and they remind me of home lol! If you do want to buy them for decorating I purchased them at Bealls back home in Florida.

(P.S. I decorated as a form of procrastination one night when I was up working on a paper, not something I would recommend doing!)

Hope you are all having a lovely Christmas in November (If you have begun decorating already like me!)

Love Always,
Kat

Fall Haul: Bath and Body Works Candles

Hey Lovelies,

So I just had a quick little Fall candle haul for you all! I was checking my email and noticed that the Bath and Body works little mason jar candles were on sale! So I decided to pick up a couple! I picked up some old favorites that I already knew I liked and also picked up a few new ones!

Marshmallow Fireside
Fresh Balsam
Pumpkin Apple
Pumpkin Cupcake
Mint Chocolate
Sparkling Icicles

So far I have burned all of Pumpkin Apple (which is a really nice fall scent, similar to the Leaves candle but with a more apple-y undertone that makes the scent a little bit more subtle) and I am currently in the process of burning Mint Chocolate (which smells just like an Andes mint!)

Currently loving always having a candle burning in the apartment, the smell is so fantastic and it just creates a lovely fall atmosphere in the room!

Hope you are all having a wonderful November! (I can hardly believe its already November!)

Love always,
~Kat

Fall Letter Writing

Hello lovelies,

So I know I haven't written in forever and I really do regret that. I think I just got so stressed with school and all of the pressures that have come along with it. However, I am going to try to post more regularily again, college talks, beauty babbles, and little daily life moments I hope you all enjoy and are ready to come along on this new college, new state, new life journey with me in Baltimore, Maryland.

Today I spent the day buying cold and flu medicine, sipping Twinnings Green Tea with Jasmine ( I will write about the Baltimore Twinnings struggle in a later post) and making chicken broth. Oh and most importantly writing letters to friends and family, I do love letters. I think there is a lot to be said for taking the time to sit down and hand write some one a letter, or even type. Its about waiting, taking a little piece of immediacy out of our lives. We're so used to everyone all the time sending us things instantaneously, texts, emails, phone calls, skypes, and while all of those things are incredible and I would never want to give it up there is something quite amazing and fulfilling about going to your letter box and opening it up to find a little handwritten letter or note from a friend.

Hope you all have a lovely day,

xoxo

College Confidential

Hey All,

So today was move in day at college.... Everything went well our apartment/suite/thang looks good. Walls are totally white and barren its a little like an insane asylum... I'm posting you all a picture of my room after the first day... Everything isn't totally in place yet or oranized... or even unpacked for that matter but I thought I would share it anyways.

Hope you are all having a great time to your school year as well!

P.S. thinking some college life beauty videos? what do you all think? Sorry for all the delays in posting, I will be making more regular posts soon!

Late Night Goodbyes to Florida

My phone really didn't capture the picture of the ocean, its low lights settings aren't very good. But I thought I would share some of my goodbye to Juno Beach photos with y'all. I really do love home but it is time for a good and new transition to somewhere (seemingly) foreign. Sorry about the lack of posts packing for Baltimore has been extremely hectic!

Love and kisses!
