Give Thanks

via Pinterest

It has been a roller coaster this year. Despite hard classes, hard tests, and sacrificing sleep, it lead to change, making new friends, and new journey's. I am so thankful for everyone in my life-- friends, family, teachers, etc. Somehow, each person has molded me into the person I am today. I am thankful for the ability to run and play other sports, when it is least enjoyable. I am thankful I have the gift of wanting to help others and always be a friend to someone who needs me. But most of all, I am thankful for the ability to experience life. 

Today, my family and I are at the beach and are spending it at the clubhouse on the island. I hope you al have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

PBteen Love

I found myself roaming through pbteen.com today. I have always loved their decor and the way they put the rooms together in the magazines! Here are a few things I'm seriously obsessing over:

The Faux Fur Vest

One of the many trends I have noticed this year is the fur vest. Whether or not this trend has been around fur-ever, it sure is making a come back in a stylish way. This cute little thing is definitely on my Christmas list. Forever 21 and H&M are carrying them right now amongst other stores, (these are just the cheapest.) I picked some looks that I adored with this vest below!

Take a Break

I'm officially out of school for Thanksgiving Break! I could not be more excited for this week-long break. I will be able to regain lost sleep and exercise, and I might catch the new Hunger Games movie, Mocking Jay Part 1! ( I heard it's amazing). I am headed to Charleston for the holidays to spend this time with my family.

Happy Saturday!

Quote of the Week

Ah, if reminding myself of this quote would only come naturally..
Despite my hard classes this semester, I've really had to learn how to strive for what I want to accomplish. Science has always been a subject of interest until Chemistry came around, and well, it's been tough. The realization you will not be great at everything has definitely hit me this year. 
How do choose the high road throughout your day?

Nail Polish Guide

I have a somewhat unhealthy obsession with nail polish. It's a different way to express yourself, whether it be to match an outfit or based upon your mood. Here are a few faves of mine for fall, all from Essie!

Hello, November!
