It seems like this is the time of the year when the most reflection happens. When we look back over the past semester, past year, or past four years and sigh. This is the time of the semester when things are wrapping up and life is changing. While I did think about doing a final reflection-esque post, I decided against it.
Instead I want to thank each and everyone of y'all. Thank you from the...

Getting healthy as become my project of the semester. It's also become quite difficult. Especially given that I gave up sugar/sweets for Lent. And then Nationals sent us a present: Crystal Light candy. Yes you read that right, Crystal Light candy! Tastes just like the powdered drink mix, except in hard candy form! It was like my prayers for an inexpensive, low cal candy were answered. You can...

I've never been an athlete. I enjoy sports (what girl raised in the South doesn't?) but I've never really played one. Along the same line, I've never worked out, like really worked out. In high school I was a ballerina, and I have done yoga for the better part of my adult life. But I never really considered those sports. I use yoga to center myself and to just be quiet for a half...

Before I sat down to write this, I heard a familiar springtime sound - the ice cream truck. First of all, I would just like to point out that an ice cream truck coming this close to where I live in a college town is a wonderful thing. Secondly, I resisted the ice cream urge. Being that everyone here is a collegiette ©, I'm going to assume we all understand that resisting ice cream...

Last week, I outlined my 'get healthy' plan. The three basic steps were exercise often, cut caffeine and eat healthy. In the past 7 days, I've done pretty well at some points and pretty awful at others.
On a scale of 1 to 10 – with 1 being awful and 10 being perfect – I'd say my working out was around a 6, my caffeine intake was about a 4 and my eating healthy was...

Recently, one of my best friends saw a picture of me from my junior prom. We were having a talk about dresses, so I showed her the picture and said, "look at how skinny I was then." To which she replied "you're face is just different, you look like Anne Hathaway." Someone else upon seeing a recent picture of me said I looked like Pam from "The Office." I don'...

I don't remember how I found this gem in the crowded blog-o-sphere of fashion and style blogs. I just know that for the past few months, I've been hooked. Rather than a photo or plain textual description of her personal style, Lauren Friedman's My Closet in Sketches is just as the name implies. Lauren shows readers her style and outfits through artistic sketches and illustrations....

The Oscars are like my Super Bowl. Ever since I was a little girl I have been obsessed---from the clothes, to the jewels, to the speeches, to the movies. I cried like a baby when Halle Barry won her Oscar, and at the time I didn't fully grasp the importance of her win. So when Sunday rolled around I was thrilled. I have a tradition that I always have an excellent dinner while watching the...
