Shore Projects watch
For the past few years I’ve worn a Swatch watch that my dad gave me. I have absolutely loved it and worn it almost everyday. However all good things must come to an end and sure enough this Christmas I knew it was actually literally time to get a watch. I wasn’t sure what I…

The Man from U.N.C.L.E. style inspiration
If you haven’t seen The Man from U.N.C.L.E. yet, I recommend you do, if only for the fashion. Alicia Vikander, who plays a feisty mechanic, wears some super stylish outfits that embrace the best of the 60’s fashion. I love getting inspiration from movies! Her white shift dress at the end of the movie was…

Turning 21: why I love being in my twenties
Last month I finally turned 21 and it was very exciting. While I did not have a wild night of partying to celebrate my newfound capability to drink alcohol legally, it was a great day and night spent with family and friends. I did order a skinny colada which I didn’t love. I suspect the…

Why I’m taking a break from Netflix
Netflix is the perfect example of double-edged sword. Of course it is a wonderful thing to have hilarious shows and great movies at your fingertips, available whenever you want to watch them; but its also a little dangerous. Not in a ‘safety hazard watch-your-step’ kind of way, but more in a ‘it is possible to…

What I’ve learned from my dating fast so far
In March I felt that I should go on a dating fast. What is a dating fast? Well, its like when you give up a certain food or Netflix or makeup…except with dating. Usually a fast is for a designated amount of time and has an underlying reason behind it. For example, you may fast…

The dangers of being a perfectionist
I used to take pride in the fact that I was a perfectionist. I mean, surely wanting things to be perfect is a good thing, right? Perfect grades, perfect body, perfect behavior…perfect life. Who wouldn’t want that? I loved watching movies and TV shows and reading books that depict what I liked think was the…

Why I started a savings account at the age of 20
If you’re a college student or a recent college grad, you probably don’t have excessive amounts of money lying around for you to use at your leisure. We have embraced this as part of being a college student/recent grad. And that’s okay, we’ve been/are focused on getting an education, something that in itself is very…
