Birthday Reflection

Hey guys! So my birthday is only about a week away and every year at about this time I like to reflect on the year I've had. This year I am turning 14 and I'm on my way to high school! It's for sure going to be a huge change in my life, but for now let's focus on this past year. 

Some of my favorite memories this year!
The Taylor Swift concert is the first thing that comes to mind when I think of my best memories! It was my first big concert, and learning all the lyrics from every song made the experience even better!

I have so many great memories from my youth group! Including going to the cabin retreat, and making that gross bread! The highlight of everything was getting confirmed just a few months ago. 

I will always remember all the fun field trips, dances, and spicy school lunch foods from 8th grade! Spending my last year of middle school with my best friends was full of good memories! (other than the math tests... ugh) 

Cross country and Track was another great memory from this year. I think I became more serious about running, and all the long meets were worth it in the end. Being on the track is honestly where I feel the happiest, no matter how much I complain about being dead after a mile ;)

This was also an incredible year for traveling!! I went to DC on a school trip and Alaska with some of my cousins! They were very different trips, but I loved them each in there own way. Something about exploring new places always gets me so excited!

This year was filled with some amazing memories, way too many to write about! Hope you enjoyed reading about a few of my favorites!

This year was also hard in some ways. I know I could of worked harder in so many different things, like track and violin. My main goal (other than to drink more water!!) is to push myself harder. There are things I know I can improve on, and this year I'm going to work on them. So thanks to everyone who made this year extra special and cheers to 14!!

what his words could not see

the problem with insecurities is they like to hide. they sit below the surface, waiting for something or someone to set them off. you yourself may not even know they're there. i knew mine was there, i just didn't want to admit it. i fed myself all the right literature, watched all the right videos, listened to all the right people who were telling me that what i was going through was normal, good, beautiful even. i consumed it until i told myself i believed it. but the problem was, i never did.  deep down, i didn't accept what was happening. i told myself it was temporary, i would lose it soon. at my very core, i believed that something was wrong with me. i rarely let others on to the fact that when i looked in the mirror i was deeply sad. growing up your whole life being skinny, no one ever tells you what to do when your body changes. when your external value is no longer based in your smallness. i couldn't reconcile what was happening to me. i could not understand or ...

Versatility In Your Wardrobe- Dresses

Image
Hey fellow fashionistas! A really important thing in anyone's wardrobe is versatility. I mean, you can't wear one item and never wear it again! Mixing and matching outfits is something fashionistas pride themselves on all around the world. I try my hardest to create a completely new look with all my clothes. The cool thing is, nobody will know if you wear the same shirt twice in the school week! You will accessorize and pair it totally different! I'm going to show you how to create the illusion that you own a lot of clothes, when the reality is.. you're just a master of outfit creating. Ok, there's a twist! A lot of people think of separates for mixing & matching, and they usually think of dresses as a one-time dressy outfit. Dresses can be made super casual! The looks created today will all include a dress! Don't be afraid to rock one to school or just running errands, these are super comfy and laid back! (1) Add a button down under one of your favori...
