This is the best early birthday gift a girl could ask for.

To have people view and appreciate, constructively criticize and compliment your work is the best feeling in the world. 

And this little engine that could just reached

 9,000 page views.

Some of you may stumble upon this, 

click past, and simply gaze over the most recent post.

And I still appreciate your glance. 

To those of you who make it a point to read this, 

I genuinely thank you from the bottom of my heart 

for taking the time to follow along with me. 

You mean the world to me. 

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

What's in my bag: January 2015

I've been in love with my new purse lately, 

so I figured I'd show you a little 

sneak peak as to what I typically carry in this beautiful bad boy.

First off, this is my new baby...

It's the Merona Satchel in green with a cross body strap 

and tortoise & gold hardware.

Love. Love. Love freaking love.

This color has been discontinued,

 but Target now offers it in a ton of colors.

I'm tempted to buy the hot pink mini version.

Without further blabbing..

Keys with a ridiculous amount of keychains 

& vineyard vines lanyard

Phone charger

Kate Spade Agenda, monogrammed of course

"Sorry I'm Not Sorry" ID holder

Kate Spade card holder 

Fake RayBans from Cotton on

Halloween hand sanitizer from B&BW

Fake Rayban flashbans from Burlington

Simply Southern mason jar coozie

Kate Spade Patent Leather wallet

No7 mineral setting spray

Grossly old Victoria's secret lipgloss

Mad about you body spray from B&BW

Scrunchies & a claw clip

EOS lipbalm stick

NYX HD concealer

Pacifica Tuscan Blood Orange lotion

and towards the bottom of my bag

 is normally an obscene amount

 of pens I've stolen after I close my tab, 

mechanical pencils,

spare change, 

and receipts from things I shouldn't have spent money on.

What's in your junk holder?

Blog loving - advice style?

Hey guys,

So clearly you can tell by this page that I love writing about and reviewing products. But writing in general is something I really really adore doing. I think most people could write something better than they could possibly say it. It's an easy way you express yourself. 

Recently, I was excited to hear that an advice piece I wrote for " Get Smart Coaching" is going to be published on their website either 5/27, or 6/3! It's a column piece directed towards upcoming high school graduates, and my advice on how to handle these last few weeks of school. 

Here's their mission statement : 

"Get Smart Coaching's mission is to make sure every young  

women on the planet knows how awesome they are. Through positive use of social media 

young women can change the world."

All of their social media links include:

https://www.facebook.com/getsmartcoach
http://www.thegetsmartcoach.com/Home_Page.html

I think this site is an incredible outlet for women, both young and old to give advice to us fellow girls. If we have the knowledge, why not spread it?

Look out for my post and let me know what you think!
Until then, 
-K.
