Hello, friends! Just like the adorable talking snow man in Frozen, I would like to rejoice about the beauties of summer in this blog post. Summer is finally here! Not only is the weather gorgeous and bright, but there is a certain freedom that comes from this season. I am so excited for this summer, as I have a lot planned. Just so you know, throughout the entire month of July, I will be in Europe. I will be traveling to Italy, France, Latvia, and Poland with my family and I am so grateful and excited. I'm going to try really hard to blog nearly every day about the adventures I come across, but internet access isn't something always readily available. However, for the time being, I am here. I will be blogging more, so expect more posts to come! Let me know what some of your summer plans are. I would love to know!
Whether you're staying back and chilling or going on adventures, try to make this summer the best one yet. Don't let the monster of boredom creep up on you. Just live and enjoy every moment of freedom you have this summer. I would also like to remind you to be safe, wear SPF, and have an awesome time. I'll be checking in!

May Non-Beauty Favorites
Hello, friends! As the month of May is coming to a close, it's time to discuss my non-beauty favorites with you. The month went by extremely fast, so I'm having a hard time remembering what I loved this month. We're just going to see how this is going to go. Enjoy!
Blogilates: I've been working out pretty much everyday this month. I've typically been doing some toning and pilates for my workouts, and I use the Blogilates YouTube channel to help me out. Not only are the videos short, but they're very effective.
Frozen Mango Chunks: I've been buying these at the grocery store lately for a healthy snack. I must say that they're pretty darn delicious and I've consumed many bags of them this month.
"Rude" by Magic!: This song has been my jam all month. It's got that reggae/pop vibe and it always puts me in a chill mood.
"The Carrie Diaries": I've finally finished the Carrie Diaries on Netflix, and I must say that I really loved the show. It was funny, adorable, and so fun to watch. I can't wait until season two comes out!
"Best Days of My Life" by American Authors: This song always puts me in a good mood and I love listening to it first thing in the morning.
"Maleficent": You guys, I just saw this movie and it was absolutely amazing. I don't want to give away any spoilers, but basically, it tells the story of Maleficent and how she came to be the way she was in the story we all know. Angelina Jolie was absolutely flawless. You need to go see it.
Alright, guys! This has been my May favorites! I hope you enjoyed them and my beauty favorites should be out in the next couple of days. It depends how efficient I am. Have an amazing June!

Preparing For Exams!
- To prepare for an exam, obviously you want to study. Make sure that you don't cram the night before. Trust me, you won't retain anything. Here are some study methods that you can try:
- Flashcards
- Review sheets that you made yourself or that your teacher gave you
- Try teaching the content to another person or to an invisible classroom
- Go through your notes and copy information that you know you should look over again. Refer back to this "cheat sheet"
- Try Quizlet. This is a great website that allows you to make online flashcards, quiz yourself on the terms, and play games.
- Make sure to get plenty of sleep before exams. Go to bed early. Sleep certainly helps me do well.
- The day before your exam, make sure that you have all the materials you will need for the next day. You want to be prepared and ready that day.
- The day of, bum it. Don't bother wearing fancy clothing. You're going to be sitting in the same spot for long periods of time. It's best to be comfortable.
- Save yourself a couple minutes of sleep by going for a really light makeup look or no makeup at all. You have no one to impress as you're just going to be hunched over a test. Don't even bother.
- Eat a good, nutritious breakfast. Brain food.
- Bring something to do in case you finish the test early. I'd suggest a book or something to draw on.
- Always, always, always check over your answers!
Now get in there and nail that test! You've got this! Just get it over with!
