Happy birthday to...me!

     Today was my 19th birthday- crazy! I usually struggle a lot with sadness on my birthday; I'm not so sure why, but today was really good! I went downtown to Savannah with my parents for lunch. We went to this little place called the Gryphon; all the employees are students at SCAD. Our waitress was actually majoring in industrial design, mostly mobility aids for kids- very cool! I ordered White Bean Lemon Soup...it was so so good! I absolutely love soup.

    After that, we went to get ice cream; I think I got some sort of coconut flavor. We stopped in a vintage toy shop, which had lots of Barbies. We also poked around some comic shops. That was all we really did. I still had to go home and pack up the rest of my bedroom to move it to my apartment. I'm also going to see Les Mis at my local theater and get Korean BBQ Saturday... so my birthday is a little split up. 

    

Gifts!

I thought I'd share some of the gifts I got today; they all made me feel really seen. I got a Vera Bradley water bottle and a Frankentien's creature Skullector from my parents. I was super excited about both! I really want to take the creature doll with me to Epic Universe in a few months, but I get nervous taking collector dolls places. My friend Mia surprised me with the Barbie X Monster High doll, and oh my goodness, was I happy!! I've been wanting her for a while and thought I'd never get her. My friend Hailey got me a Tinker Bell figure, a Muppets DVD, and a Kermit mug!! I can't wait to display everything!

Bye-bye for now!

 

Change, change, change!

    Right now, my life is nothing but change. My birthday is in just a few days; I'm moving out and into an apartment, and im starting my sophomore year of college. I thought, why not treat August like it's New Year's? Here are a few things I plan on doing to improve myself and my life. 

1. Makeup 

    For whatever reason, I feel a lot better when I do my makeup in the morning. So, when it comes to school —on the days I don't do my makeup, I feel sort of sluggish. Recently I've been doing a bit of concealer under my eyes and on my eyelids. Then, just a little bit of brown and pink eyeshadow on the outer corners. I use a tad bit of shimmer on the inner corners of my eyes. I finish with powdered blush and mascara. My makeup used to be a lot darker when it came to eyeshadow; I like what I do now-- it's brighter. Happier. 

2. Movement 

   

    To be entirely honest, I don't seek out movement much. It's something I'm very aware of. I often try to make excuses for it-- I have low iron blah blah blah, but that's a bunch of nothing, right? While visiting my family in New York, we went hiking, and I really enjoyed it. Actually, I do enjoy movement when I actually get around to it. So,  I want to try walking outside more. I love rollerblading, so that too. But what's going to be most helpful is the yoga class im taking this semester- I'll be forced to move. Simply: move more, you'll feel better in more ways than one! 

3. Outfits

    Similar to the makeup situation, wearing clothes that make me feel like me is so important. Last semester, I would sort of just throw on a hoodie and jeans, pull my hair up into a ponytail, and call it a day. But I usually felt so icky because of it. I'd like to make sure I'm being intentional with my outfits from here on out. Especially for school. I've already gone Depop hunting. 

Happy New Year!

Moving out: a scary, yet necessary action ⋆‧°𓏲ּ𝄢

 

    This will be my sophomore year of college. Now, moving wasn't entirely a choice for me. I attend Georgia Southern University-- which has two campuses. The campus I spent my first year at no longer has the classes I need for my major (multi-media and film production). So, I have to move. I got a townhouse apartment, very cute. I feel very unprepared, but isn't that part of it all? I'm sure everything will be just fine. I have become very open to change...come at me!
