<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">As much as I would like to do one of these posts every month it can sometimes be hard for me to find time. My last "Day in the Life" was posted back in December. I had planned on doing one in January since I had a lot going on but I never got the chance. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />So this month was somewhat crazy! I went back to school toward the end of January and ever since then I have been quite busy. I normally find myself spending way to much time in the library and meeting with professors. Since it is the second semester of my Junior year, I have been working so hard to get my GPA really high as well as setting up my portfolio for this Summer when I take on an internship. Last semester was one of the best semesters I've had (All A's and B's) so I plan on making this semester just as good if not better! I would love to talk more about what a normal day in college looks like for me, so if you would like me to talk about it in a separate blog post I will!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Also, can we take a minute to discuss how adorable this mug is! "Born Free Now I'm Expensive", sounds like me..... :) I found this mug at T.J. Maxx and when I saw it I knew I had to have it! It is a huge mug which is nice because I am addicted to coffee! I drink at least 2 cups a day! And of course, you gotta have your classic oatmeal with strawberries, my go-to breakfast. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">When I'm making breakfast in the morning, sometimes I get sidetracked. On this particular morning I opened up my koozie drawer and realized it was a disaster so I fixed it up and made it a bit more organized. You can never have too many koozies! </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">When I got home after a long day of classes I walked into my room to find a little present waiting for me on my bed. My wonderful boyfriend (Shawn) bought me the Lilly Pulitzer scarf that I have been wanting for the longest time. It was kind of a late birthday present since he never got the chance to get me one on my birthday because of the awful weather here! When I saw this scarf I just about died. It is the Florida state scarf from Lilly Pulitzer and if you all don't already know. I grew up in Florida so I consider it my home. I miss it every single day, I wanted to go and visit this Summer but it's a little too expensive. Florida is where all my happiest memories lie. I plan on moving back once I graduate! (Fingers crossed I make it happen!) </span></div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Later that evening, Shawn and I went to Target to pick up a few things for our upcoming trip to South Carolina. We are heading to Myrtle Beach for Spring Break this year and I could not be more excited since I have never been there before! As you can see he bought a new suitcase and I managed to slip in some Valentine's Day goodies. :)</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Let me
start off by saying that I've never struggled with my weight. I've
always been very healthy and very active. I enjoy eating healthy and exercising regularly but sometimes things change. People change. And life happens. Here is my journey from past to present. I hope you find it inspiring. One thing I have learned from this experience is to never give up on yourself, even when others do. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">So my story begins at the end of my senior
year of high school going into my freshman year of college. I was dealing with a lot of personal issues my senior
year that were effecting me both emotionally and
physically. I felt like I had no one to talk to or confide in. I lost touch with
the majority of my friends when I moved from Florida to Pennsylvania, my senior year of
high school and my family wasn't much help either. I felt extremely
alone and useless. I began putting on weight here and there the Summer
before my freshman year of college. Once I started college it was a
downward spiral from then on. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">August of 2012 right before I left for college, I
was weighing in at around 125 pounds, this didn't bother me too much since I had been this weight for quite sometime but I
knew the weight was slowly creeping up on me. Being in college I lost track of
a lot of things that made me happy. I was dealing with financial issues at the time and of
course I was in the process of finding myself. I never in a million years would have thought that college would be such a balancing act. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />Summer of 2013 I noticed a big change not only in my weight but in myself. I had lost so much confidence in everything I did and in everything I was. At this point, I was weighing in at
around 140 pounds. This wasn't the "Freshman 15" I was dealing with anymore
this was an emotional and physical battle with myself. I couldn't fit
into anything anymore, all my old clothes were way to small and I was
ultimately in denial. When my Sophomore year of college rolled around I
was eating just about anything and everything. I kept saying to myself
"I'll never lose the weight and I'll never be a size 0, so why even bother trying." I had
ultimately given up on myself. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />April of 2014 I was weighing in at my
highest ever—148 pounds. This was completely unacceptable for someone like
me who was so petite and small (I am only 5'1) to begin with. My body
was basically shutting down at this point. I knew at this point something needed to
change. </span><br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />May of 2014 is when I stumbled upon <a href="http://simplytaralynn.com/" target="_blank">Taralynn McNitt's</a> blog. My absolute inspiration.<br />One
night I was watching "The Batchorlette" and browsing "Pinterest" for some
new recipes. I found a chicken salad recipe that looked amazing. I
clicked on it and it led me to Taralynn's blog. I began reading all
about her and her journey. I began trying her recipes out and following
some of her weight loss tips. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />Toward the end of July 2014 I was
weighing in at 135 pounds. I couldn't believe it. It's amazing what a
little healthy eating and exercise can do. From this point forward I was
gaining my confidence back. I was eating healthy and working out almost
everyday. I felt amazing and my body was happy too.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />August of 2014 I
was weighing in at my goal weight which at the time was 125 pounds. I
could finally fit back into some of my old clothes again. At this point
in time I was really starting to feel good about my body but I knew I
could do better. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />The weight really started coming off in September,
October and November of 2014. Before I knew it I was down to 115 pounds by
the time December rolled around. My busy schedule and my workout routine
plus eating healthy really helped me lose the weight quickly. I think
it's important to stay busy and yet make time for yourself. It is so
important to <span style="color: magenta;">FIND YOUR BALANCE. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="color: magenta;"> </span><br />Sure, you can workout everyday and
eat healthy but you don't have to do anything you don't want to do. If
you don't like running on the treadmill or lifting weights, don't do it!
Find something else to do. If you don't like celery and lentils, don't
eat it! You don't have to do or eat any of those things if you don't want to. I
seriously cannot stress that enough. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />When I decided to start losing
weight I went through my refrigerator and my cabinets, getting rid of
any unhealthy foods. But there were some things I refused to part with
because I loved them way to much and let's face it, life is way to
short to live off of carrots and celery. Anyways, I think it is
important to give a little and take a little. For example, I love cheese
so I knew right away that I was not getting rid of it but that meant I
needed to get rid of something else in that same food category. So I
made the decision to get rid of butter all together. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />The same thing
goes for exercise! If you don't like the gym. Don't go to the gym! The
gym isn't the only place in the world where you can go to lose weight! I
hate the gym. So I opted for the outdoors! There is a park right near
my apartment with an amazing trail. I ran/jogged/walked 6 miles everyday
on this trail (sometimes every other day) and it was the most relaxing
thing in the world. I never felt like I was working out or losing
weight, I just felt refreshed! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> Today, I am 109 pounds and a size 0. I feel amazing
in my skin. I could not be happier with my accomplishments. Currently, I
am working on building some muscle and toning up before Summer. It has
been 2 years since I've put on a bikini and I am so excited to slip one
on this Spring when I'm in South Carolina. I am continuing to eat
healthy but also enjoy myself! I don't plan on losing anymore
weight because I am so satisfied with where I am at now. I hope you all
enjoyed my journey so far, if you would like to know more about my
healthy habits leave some requests in the comment section down below!
And of course if you have a story you would like to share, please do! I
love hearing about people's weight loss journeys! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Well, long time, no talk! Life has been so hectic for me lately. I have been putting most of my time into my school work, my personal life and organizing my Summer plans (Hoping for an internship this Summer, fingers crossed!) But anyways I thought it would be nice to do a blog post on my purse and what exactly I carry in it on a day to day basis! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I feel like what a girl keeps in her purse says a lot about their personality. I usually clean out my purse once a week or sometimes once every other week, it just depends on how busy I am. I normally am a very organized and clean person. There is truly nothing I hate more than clutter and junk taking up space in my life. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">So for this blog post I will show you exactly what I keep in my purse and how I manage to keep everything organized and clutter free!</span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">So let me start off my saying I am not a professional organizer in any way but I do enjoy organizing my life as much as I can. So I hope you take my tips and tricks with a grain of salt and put your own little twist on them! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The purse I carry around with me on a day to day basis is my Longchamp "Les Pliage" Large Tote in the color Beige. I've had this bag for a few years and I absolutely love it! It's a great multifunctional bag. During the school year I use it to keep my books and things in. Then during the Summer months I use it as a beach tote! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The tote retails for $178 at the Longchamp store and on their website. I bought mine at the actual Longchamp store in the King of Prussia Mall (Great customer service!) for the full asking price. I somewhat regret paying that much for this bag since all it really is is a rubbery plastic material on the inside but the bag is made really well. Since then I have purchased a few more in all sorts of colors. I have one in red, navy blue, and black! They are also all the large size but for these I did not pay full price I bought them at a local upscale consignment shop near my house. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">As for what's inside....</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">2. <span style="color: magenta;"> Cell Phone and Apple Headphones--</span> I have the iPhone 6 in the Gold version and I love it! My case is from Lilly Pulitzer and it' in the "Let's Cha Cha" print. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">4. <span style="color: magenta;">Hand Food by Soap and Glory--</span> I love this hand cream! It smells like marshmallows and keeps my hands so soft without feeling greasy or heavy! You can buy it at Sephora for $5!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">5. <span style="color: magenta;">Lip Products!--</span> I have one MAC lipstick in my purse and it is in my favorite lip color of all time (Creme Cup). I am near to obsessed with it and I am due for a new one! As for the other lip products, I have two NYX glosses, one is in "Tiramisu" (Butter Gloss) and the other is in "Beige" (Mega Shine Gloss). I also have a Smashbox lip gloss duo in "Peepshow" and a Burt's Bees lip balm in Dark Chocolate and Blueberry! </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">6. <span style="color: magenta;">Polar T4 Watch--</span> This watch is my life. I work out almost everyday so this watch is my best friend. It tells me my heart-rate, calories burned, my pace, etc. It is a great little gadget! It's super lightweight and it comes in all sorts of colors. I bought mine on Amazon for around $50!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">7. <span style="color: magenta;">iPhone 6 Armband-- </span>The day I bought my iPhone 6, I also placed an order on Amazon for a new armband. I always use armbands when I workout because I love listening to music! It gets me motivated and I don't focus on working out. I love this armband! Not only was it affordable but it is also fits my arm really nicely. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Well December is just about wrapping up and I thought it would be fun to do "A Day in the Life" in the month of December! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">December was a crazy month for me and it usually always is. Between finals, last minute projects, holiday shopping, packing and of course getting sick with pneumonia and strep, I am beyond tired by the end of the month. So to make myself feel better I thought I would write a blog post on some shopping I did recently. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">This month I did a lot of shopping which was much needed since I needed to buy some new winter clothes anyway! (I've outgrown a lot of things recently) I will probably post a separate blog post discussing some of the things I picked up on a recent Target and Plato's Closet trip! But for now I want to share with you a few things I picked up while I was shopping at the King of Prussia Mall this past week because I am more than excited about my purchases! </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">So the first store I went to while I was at the King of Prussia Mall was of course Lilly Pulitzer! Probably my favorite store in the entire world! I actually wasn't planning on purchasing anything special while I was there. I was just in the mood to browse and maybe pick up a couple koozies but of course while I was there I ran into something very special.....</span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The Getaway Quilted Vest and the most gorgeous Sarasota Tunic I have seen in a long time! Both of which were on sale! I could not believe I found the Getaway Vest in particular since I had actually had my eye on it for the longest time but it sold out online. It was the last Getaway Vest in the store in a size Extra Extra Small so I decided to try it on and believe it or not, it fit! (Thank the Lilly Gods!) I wish it was in an Extra Small because I would have been able to layer shirts with it but the Extra Extra Small will do. I asked one of the lovely ladies at Lilly to check to see if they had any Extra Smalls or Smalls available at any of the other stores but they were actually sold out of the vest in </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> every Lilly store in the country which was beyond crazy! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">As for the Sarasota Tunic, it fit me just perfectly (I tried on a Small). But at the end of the day I decided to just go with the Getaway Vest since it was still somewhat pricey. It is by far one of the most amazing Lilly items I own! The gold buttons are such an amazing detail and the "Multi Hot Spot" print in the inside of the vest is gorgeous. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The next store I decided to stop by was Vineyard Vines! This store was beyond crowded and the line was out the door so I didn't actually get a chance to buy anything. I had my eye on a Vineyard Vines Travis Tumbler but I wasn't going to wait in line just for that. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">After Vineyard Vines I went into L.L.Bean to look for the Bean Boot key-chain which I found but in a red color! I decided to buy it since it was so darn cute and it was only $7.95! (How cute is that little bean boot?!)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">After L.L.Bean I went to Francesca's which is my go-to store! I saw this really cute jewelry tray while I was browsing! I almost bought it but I practiced self control! (Even though I might secretly go back and buy it!) </span></div>

I wanted to be comfortable walking around the mall so I opted for a purple pinko top I bought at Kohls (on sale now for $6.99), my J.Crew Herringbone Vest, some basic black leggings, my Longchamp Les Pliage Bag in Beige, and my new Kendra Scott Danielle Earrings in Mystic Iridescent. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">It is no secret that I spend a majority of my time on Pinterest (I am addicted!). So just recently I was browsing Pinterest in search of some affordable and creative decor ideas for my apartment back at school. As I was browsing I stumbled upon a blog post that showed you how to make artwork using push pins! I thought to myself what an amazing idea! I decided to go off the blog post I found and put my own little spin on it. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I have always wanted a wooden monogram above my bed but the only problem is they can be kind of pricey! So I decided it would be cool to create a monogram using push pins.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">This push pin monogram art took me a couple hours to complete (might have taken me longer if my mom didn't help! Thanks mom!) but it was well worth it. The finished project came out better than I had expected! </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><u>What you will need</u></span></span></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">1. <b>Gold Thumb Pins</b>--You can buy these basically anywhere! I bought them at my local grocery store for $1 and they came in a pack of 100. (I used <b>around 500</b>, just depends on how big you want to make your monogram) </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">2. <b>Fabric</b>-- I suggest using fabric that has a little more texture to it but isn't too thick because you want your push pins to stay in. (I used old curtains laying around my parent's house)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">3. <b>Foam Board</b>-- I bought my foam board at my local A.C. Moore store for about $2.99! They have all sorts of sizes but I used the 20 by 30 foam board! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">4. <b>Hot Glue Gun and Hot Glue Sticks</b>--You will need this to glue the fabric to the board.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">5. <b>Scissors</b>--You will use these to cut your fabric if you need to! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">6. <b>Pencil</b>-- You will use this to trace your monogram!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">7. <b>Ruler</b>-- It is important to be precise when doing this project! You don't want your monogram to be uneven.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">8. <b>Tissue Paper</b>--You will use this to trace your monogram on! I suggest using white tissue paper but I used a baby pink and it worked out okay for me! Just make sure it is somewhat of a light color.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">9. <b>A picture of your monogram</b>-- You will use this to help you get an idea of what your monogram should look like. I used one of the monogram apps called "Monogram It" I have on my iPhone to help me design my monogram. I drew mine free hand but if you want you can always print your monogram off and trace it! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-size: large;">Shall we begin?!.......</span></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">So to start off I laid out some of the items I will be using for this project on the table just to get a general idea of all the things I need and plan on using. That way I don't have to stop midway through my project to look for something! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgr5pZDchragQPkHwefjuFKXScwSYHHTxzbyz7WBXmbHyV5714TTNCha2lUGKbQj8twok4vbtsruEpZKGj6ziN88k_rku7i1AGtWD663SDydU5y1ov5Lf_2T56-7w2k7g6yDNr0xbWbdLQ/s1600/IMG_6572.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgr5pZDchragQPkHwefjuFKXScwSYHHTxzbyz7WBXmbHyV5714TTNCha2lUGKbQj8twok4vbtsruEpZKGj6ziN88k_rku7i1AGtWD663SDydU5y1ov5Lf_2T56-7w2k7g6yDNr0xbWbdLQ/s1600/IMG_6572.JPG" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Next you are going to lay out your foam board and cut a piece of tissue paper to the desired size, you can make the tissue paper as big as your foam board or you can make it smaller (I made mine the exact same size of my foam board). </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Once your tissue paper is laid out you are going to begin to measure the sides as well as the top and bottom of your monogram letter so they all come out even, this will help you get an idea of where to stop and start the monogram letters (I did my "L" and "M" 3 inches from the top and 3 inches from the bottom, I did my "B" 2 inches from the top and 2 inches from the bottom so it would appear bigger, and as for the side of the "L" and "M" I made them 2 1/2 inches from the sides). *I forgot photos for this step* </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Once you are finished measuring out your monogram, place the tissue paper onto the foam board. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> You can now begin to trace your monogram. Like I said above I drew my monogram free hand but you can always trace it if you want. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Once your monogram is complete you can now take the tissue paper off of the foam board and begin to place the fabric onto the board. Once you have fit the foam board with the fabric as desired you can use your hot glue gun to glue the fabric to the foam board (The picture below are what the back of your foam board should look like). </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Once you have glued the fabric to the board you can place your monogram tissue paper back onto the board and begin pinning the key points of your monogram letter (Such as the top of the "B" or a curve on a letter, it should look like the image below once you are complete). </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">This will act as a guide when you begin pushing the pins in.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivB-cRUtQzmW0Psl0LRcdKCwLoXXq2Sg-DdI1KTJ4bxOPsMBT1SLXpQG9kfZWqSqLPYXtLyE43S89NavpC6HsWJK1bwdmF2OalzH2aX659MdnE0uE9glRJgrVQDlMzkuspJ_Nf6up6k2w/s1600/IMG_6584.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivB-cRUtQzmW0Psl0LRcdKCwLoXXq2Sg-DdI1KTJ4bxOPsMBT1SLXpQG9kfZWqSqLPYXtLyE43S89NavpC6HsWJK1bwdmF2OalzH2aX659MdnE0uE9glRJgrVQDlMzkuspJ_Nf6up6k2w/s1600/IMG_6584.JPG" height="640" width="480" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Now you can begin pinning your letters! I will warn you that this will take time and patience but take your time! The end result will be well worth it! (It took me around 2 hours to complete this project) You will probably mess up a few times but you can always go back and fix it if you need to. </span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Once you are finished pinning your letters you can start removing the tissue paper. Be very gentle while doing this so you don't pull the pins out. Juts slightly pull it like you would if you were tearing a piece of paper in half. </span></div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Of course mine did not come out perfect but it came fairly close and I am very happy with the result! I plan on hanging this above my bed when I get back to my apartment!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">It has been too long since my last blog post! I have been so busy with school, finals and to top it off I was sick with pneumonia and strep throat which was no fun at all! But now that I am feeling much better and I am officially on Winter Break I am determined to get back into blogging. So since this is still just the beginning of my blogging experience I began writing down some ideas for future blog posts. And let me just say that my ideas are endless! There are so many things I want to write about, I don't really know where to start! So after contemplating on what to write about I decided on something that I know best and that's beauty products. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">To put it simply....I am a beauty junkie. I love beauty products! I am not ashamed of it one bit. I love looking my best and feeling my best at all times. My makeup collection is extensive and it continues to grow almost everyday (I'm not kidding!). This list consists of all sorts of things, from moisturizers, to makeup, to hair care products. Let me know what some of your favorite products are!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> Let the countdown begin!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>1. Philosophy's 'Purity Made Simple' One-Step Facial Cleanser (16 oz. $35)</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I am absolutely, without a doubt, in love with this product. When I first bought it (which was last year....I know! It lasted forever!) I wasn't blown away by it but after using it for so long I have noticed such a difference in my skin. My skin tone has evened out and I never struggle with random breakouts anymore. I would recommend this to everyone! The price tag is a little hard to justify but trust me it is worth every penny!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> <b> </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> <b>2. Vaseline ($5)</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">A classic beauty product every girl needs to have in her beauty cabinet. My skin is somewhat dry so sometimes I suffer from tight/itchy skin which is no fun. I've tried all sorts of facial moisturizers but nothing was working for me. One night I decided to try Vaseline around my nose area and when I woke up the next morning the skin around my nose felt so soft and moisturized. So the following night I put it all over my face and that was it.... I was addicted. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b> </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>3. Smith's Rosebud Salve ($7)</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b> </b>I am addicted to lip balms. I think it's safe to say I have a whole drawer in my makeup collection dedicated to lip balms. But out of all the lip balms I own, Smith's Rosebud Salve is by far my favorite. You can purchase it either in the tin version or the tube version (I prefer the tube because it's easier to use). I have gotten almost everyone I know addicted to it. I also read once that it is Beyonces' favorite lip balm which is always a plus (and may or may not have been the reason I bought it in the first place)! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b> </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>4. Anastasia Brow Wiz in 'Brunette' ($21)</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b> </b>My brows and I have always had a love/hate relationship. There have been times in my life where I completely shaved half of my eyebrows off (Don't ask me how that happened!). </span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> The Anastasia
Brow Wiz is amazing. It is so easy to use and gives your brows a very
natural look. I have repurchased it 3 times in the past couple years and
it has never disappointed me.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b> 5. St. Tropez Bronzing Mouse (16 oz. $35)</b></span><br />
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=6123464120858228522" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"></a><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Let me just say, being tan is a great thing. I don't really have an issue with getting some color but during the Fall and Winter months my color starts to fade a bit which is not okay with me. I like to keep my color all year round because I am crazy like that! The St. Tropez Bronzing Mouse is my holy grail self tanning product. I don't usually use it in the Spring or Summer because I get naturally tan but during the colder months this product is a must, in my opinion. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>6. L'oreal Magic Skin Beautifier BB Cream in Medium ($7)</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I have a BB Cream obsession to put it lightly. I have tried soooo many, high-end and drugstore BB Creams it's not even funny. I like to wear makeup everyday but by no means do I "cake it on". I'm a full time student with an extremely busy schedule so I don't have time to put on a ton of makeup every morning and keep up with it throughout the day. The L'oreal Magic Skin Beautifier BB Cream is a must. It looks so natural and it keeps my face oil-free most of the day. Sometimes it's all I wear because the coverage is great and it's so lightweight! (And affordable)</span><br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>7. MAC Pro-Longwear Concealer in NW 20 ($20)</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b> </b>MAC Pro-Longwear Concealer is the concealer of my dreams. I love this concealer to the moon and back! It is so long wearing and looks so natural I couldn't ask for anything more. You only need a little bit to cover even the worst imperfections. If you don't own this concealer you should!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>8. Benefit's 'Hula' Bronzer ($27)</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b> </b>One of my must have makeup products is bronzer! I cannot live without it! I have been on a mission since I first started wearing makeup to find the perfect bronzer and "Benefit's Hula Bronzer" comes very close. It's the perfect shade of brown and is completely matte which I love! It looks so natural. I can wear it just about all year round! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>9. Aussie '3-Minute Miracle' Deep Conditioner ($4)</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> A deep conditioner is a must have product for me. My hair is one of my favorite features and I try to take care of it as best as I can. I love the Aussie '3-Minute Miracle' Deep Conditioner! It is affordable and makes my hair feel amazing! It also smells like a tropical vacation! <b><br /></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>10. Lush 'Mask of Magnimity' ($23) </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">When my skin needs an extra pick me up I always turn to my Lush 'Mask of Magnimity'! It smells amazing and keeps my skin hydrated. Anytime my skin looks tired or if I start to suffer from random breakouts I just do a quick facial mask and I'm good to go. This mask has ground up aduki beans in it so it also acts as an exfoliator which is also nice so you can use it on any part of your body for a little extra love! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">One of my favorite things about the Holiday season is baking cookies! I love cooking and baking! Anytime I have a little extra time on my hands, I like to try out new recipes. Just recently, I was craving some chocolate chip cookies so Chelsea (my roommate) and I browsed 'Pinterest' in search for the perfect recipe. The only problem we faced was how complicated some chocolate chip cookie recipes can be! Some recipes called for some very strange ingredients and we weren't looking for anything to complicated so we decided to go at it on our own. This recipe is quick, simple, and very easy! (and of course delicious!) chocolate chip cookies are not hard to make and just about everyone loves them! If you decide to try this recipe out, leave a comment below! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Since Black Friday is right around the corner I wanted to put together a "Gift Ideas for Her" post to give you some ideas for things to buy the ladies in your life this holiday season. One of my favorite things to do during the holiday season is go shopping for all the wonderful girls in my life. This holiday season I came up with a list of things that I think would make the perfect gifts! </span><br />

Every year when the holiday season rolls around I find myself going store to store in search for the perfect gift. Girls are so much easier to shop for! (Check out her 'Pinterest' page and you're good to go!) But when it comes to guys it's just not that simple, so this year I decided to jot down some gift ideas to share with people who find themselves in the same predicament as me during these next couple months. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">You cannot go wrong with a good cologne.

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">So for my first official blog post, I decided to keep it simple and introduce myself a little more. My name is Laura, I am 22 years old and a senior in college. I am studying Journalism/Communication with an emphasis in Print Media. I have always had a love for writing ever since I was a little girl. I was born in Philadelphia, PA but I grew up in Ponte Vedra Beach, FL. I am a daughter, a sister, a fitness and health enthusiast and an aspiring journalist. </span></div>
