Some things that make me strange... One of my skills is picking up sticks. Honing all of my inner Pocahontas, I can find a pile of branches from the forest to use for firewood in about 30 seconds flat. My husband is highly impressed by this. 8) I wish that (high-top) chucks would finally go … Continue reading weirder things about me

Outfit Roll
In case you felt like looking at twenty pictures of me, you're in luck. This little trick has inspired me to try to be more put-together every day. If I look cute enough to take a picture, I feel pretty good about my outfit for the day. My biggest revelation? I have really noticed how … Continue reading Outfit Roll

Tidying Up
By now I'm sure you've heard of Marie Kondo's bestselling book on organization, the Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up. A year ago when I found out about online yard sale sites, I got really into purging EVERYTHING we didn't need and selling it on Facebook or ebay. I am extremely proud of how diligent and … Continue reading Tidying Up
Inside My House: My Office
Although we didn't have many options for housing upon deciding to move to Blacksburg (downsides to deciding living in a college town in the middle of the year), the house that I thought was the cutest had one major bonus: an extra bedroom. I use the term "bedroom" loosely (even though our rental company doesn't). … Continue reading Inside My House: My Office
Hair News

I was born with (well, no hair, but eventually I got some) bright blonde hair - a peachy, strawberry color - but like my dad whom I got the blonde from, eventually it faded away. Instead of getting streaks of white around my face in the summer (and worrying about … Continue reading Hair News

I began caring about my hair and outfit choices when I started working in the Cru office, and wanted to continue to look presentable in my master's program. I thought it was necessary, as an "I'm a professional" and "this is a business … Continue reading Grad School Outfits
Friday Things
Links links links! Re-think what you put on your skin. The dirty dozen. I want dis. The definition of hell for each Myers Briggs type. These words are nice. If I got them, I'd have to go for these. In brown of course. Mike's on tour again. The cutest lane. Sorry for another Buzzfeed. Now … Continue reading Friday Things

Just a few things I've worn here and there. Thought it might be fun to document a little bit! Please forgive the lighting and overall quality slash facial expressions.
New York Girls
When I visited NYC with my family at Christmas time, I noticed that most of the women around my age (college-age or mid-twenties) dressed similarly. When we rode the train back from the city, I couldn't help but notice the lady sitting next to me. She was wearing a black coat, dark clothing, tousled hair … Continue reading New York Girls
