lab + camp

hello to you all!

as the number of days I have left in california dwindles down to a mere fourteen, I have been trying to cross off as many things on my bucket list as I can before I head off to the east coast. my friends & family know that my extensive bucket list has always been a reference for activities or food places that I suggest when we go out and luckily my best friend Christine was up for a day in the OC to try and knock off as many things as we could (along with her fancy new camera hehe)

août // 2016

I am in disbelief that today is the first day of august...where did the time go!? It's crazy to think that this month I will be packing my bags and heading across the country for college!! I still don't know how to do my laundry and I suck at cleaning so this should be fun *upside down smile emoji*

NY Trip | Week 2

It has been a little over a week since I returned from my trip to New York and I am starting to have post trip depression SOMEONE TAKE ME BACK PLEASE!! Although it has been nice to not have to worry about humidity or dirty subways, I do miss the city and the girls that I met, especially Emmy, Carly, Katie, Camila, Madison, Samanda and Sidney (miss you guys so much!!) Overall, I learned so much and as someone that hopes to work for a magazine one day (specifically Seventeen hehe), I couldn't have asked for a greater opportunity like this one! Learning the ins and outs of the publications world has ensured me that I am choosing the right career path :') ANYWAYS here is the second installment of my New York trip themed posts! If you haven't checked out my one for Week One, then click here! If you have, then yay :) Once again, I am so grateful to my parents for letting me go on this trip as well as Westcoast Connection and Seventeen Magazine for putting the trip together! I hope you guys enjoy Week Two! Here we go...

NY Trip | Week 1

Hello everyone!

I am currently spending the most incredible two weeks in New York (if you didn't already know haha) I have learned a lot, laughed a lot, ate A LOT, and walked A LOT (37.61 miles so far!) and I am so excited to see how the next week will pan out. However, I do have to admit that it is not fun smelling like a subway and not being able to breathe without the fear of getting secondhand smoke (seriously! there are so many smokers in NYC!) This trip has been incredible so far and I am so grateful for the opportunity thanks to Westcoast Connection and Seventeen Magazine!

TRAVEL ESSENTIALS

Since I am leaving for New York today, I thought it would be fitting to talk about my travel essentials. Going back and forth between California and New York has taught me a couple things about what is necessary to bring.  However, this time I will be flying by myself for the first time so I am a little nervous, but I am really excited to spend the next two weeks in the Big Apple!

VITAMIN SEA

Hello everyone!

Despite living 30 minutes away and it being summer, I have only visited the beach once and that was for this shoot! I have always wanted to do a photoshoot at the beach and luckily my friend Ryan was up for a day in Laguna!

NEW ME, NEW BLOG

Hello everyone!

I figured that since I will be moving to New York and beginning college in a few short months, my blog should get a little upgrade! New logo/look for a new me hehe :-) I have to admit that it was so fun trying to find a new font/aesthetic that would perfectly sum me up and I am so glad that I did! I hope you guys like it! Shoutout to FearneCreativeDesign on Etsy for the beautiful layout! If you want to check them out, you can click here!

I am so excited for the events planned this summer, in a couple weeks I will be leaving for New York with Seventeen Magazine so you can definitely expect posts from my adventures while there! Wherever you are, I hope you are all enjoying your summer! Stay safe x

Until next time...
