We all know I’m no fashion guru or fashion blogger at all, however a fashion edit is something I have been wanting to do for a really long time.With that being said I wanted to share some of my favorite fall looks. Fall is one of my favorite times of year and I’m really excited about it. The weather is getting cooler so you can start to layer up and mix patterns. Speaking of patterns I noticed a few in particular that were standing out. Plaids were sticking out in recent trends as well as yellow. When I think of plaid I automatically think of school uniforms.I wanted to go for a edgy, punk school look with this first set ! I included two pair of shoes to give more style options. The perfect layering piece for these outfits are cute vest and blazers. Camo was another trend that seeemed to come back in a major way, with my camo set I wanted to go for a more street style look. I included two pairs of sneakers for each outfit to give more style options. When I think camo I think Street style which is a huge trend in the past few years so I kept this look very street style without any boot options. I added an additional street style look that mixes boots and sweaters which are some fall essentials ! Once fall rolls around i know most people think boots , sweaters , scarfs and pumpkin spice everything. Those looks are what I call basics or classics . i wanted to show off my fav basic fall fashion looks while still taking color risk and incorporating sprints and patterns. This final set is very retro chic in my opinion and the perfect pairing item are tights! That concludes my first ever fashion edit, I would hope that this inspires you all to take risk and step out of your usual comfort zones to try something new. Mix and match patterns this season and have fun with it! I gave examples and used specific items but I would encourage you all to make them your own, Add your own personal flare to them! If this was something you would like to see more of let me know below in the comments! I also want to play around with a skin care edit and health edit in the future , anything can happen.

Dating at the Dcp
When you’re young you watch Disney movies and you wish to one day grow up and have a love like the kind you see in those movies. In my mind the DCP was an opportunity for me to start a whole new world and maybe find my prince charming. I was tryna be on some real-life Troy and Gabriella type ish but after strong deliberation I have concluded to Never fall in love at the dcp. For those of you who don’t know what the Dcp is, it’s the Disney college program in Orlando Florida. It’s an opportunity to live and work at Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando Florida. One of my biggest rules are never fall in love at the Dcp and I’m going to tell you why. No one is ever in a relationship at the Dcp the reality of it all is that we’re all a bunch of college age kids living on our own around a lot of attractive people. No seriously everyone is attractive. I’ve seen people come to the Dcp in 3+ yearlong relationships and those relationships end because of meeting someone new at the Dcp. Whether these relationships last or not is really up to the people involved but there are so many factors that contribute to it .There are many ways to meet people on the Dcp you meet people in the parks , on the face book pages , in the dorms , at the clubs and once you realize you’re both on the Dcp you may have found your one . Me and Cali came up with a theory one night to test in the Dcp singles pages. The singles pages are Facebooks pages were single cps meet each other. The theory was that if we posted the quote “when will my prince come?” single Dcp boys will friend request and DM us. So, I posted it and it worked I was chatting up this cute guy for weeks before I arrived at the Dcp. Things were going so well until I arrived to Dcp we hung out once and then he got termed and banned from Disney property and relationship over! Another way to meet on the Dcp is hanging around the Italy pavilion. A lot of the single girls would hang around the Italy pavilion trying to catch the attention of the boys working there this slightly worked for me I’ll tell you how. I worked at Epcot, so I would always see this cute Italian boy on the bus! He lived in the commons I lived in vista way. He would never say anything, and I didn’t either. The night of winter formal we saw each other, and we danced ‘like all night! we hangout the next day and then I found out about all the other girls he was hanging out with through a mutual friend who is now one of my closest friends. I met a cutie at Hollywood’s studios he was from my city and we had mutual friends! We texted for a while until We hung out at the vista way tennis courts and then after that he found out his dorm Had bed bugs. So, I was like peace out boy scout! Fall 2015 Dcp everyone had bedbugs I was not trying to get those. I have so many more scenarios like these but moral of the story none of my Dcp relationships worked and I think that it was partly because of the environment. there are so many interesting people all around you, you may not want to settle down with one person while you could be out there living your best life. On the contrary let’s say you fall in love at the Dcp, your program comes to an end. now you must decide if the two of you are going to extend or does one have to go back to finish school. The question comes up on do you want to live with each other in your retrospective cities or do you want to move to Orlando. studies show that long distance relationships don’t work. So, unless you are 100 percent willing to drop everything you’re doing in life for someone you met on your Disney College Program I’m sticking with my statement of never fall in love at the dcp. I have been diagnosed with PDD or Post Disney Depression. It’s that aching feeling in your heart after your Disney vacation is over and you have to go back to reality. For me it’s 10 times worse because I had the pleasure of completing a Disney College Program where I worked and lived at Walt Disney World for 6 months straight. Working there was as amazing as it seems I had the opportunity to work in the parks everyday and enjoy the parks as a guest on my offdays. I have to be honest I have no idea what to do with myself now that my program is over. The weather is below zero degrees here, I’m snowed in and l want nothing more than to visit the parks. Life after Disney is so weird because I’m use to walking outside and knowing it’s hot,knowing I can go to whatever park I want to visit today. I miss earl of sandwich, and I desperately want a mickey ice cream sandwich .Post Disney depression can hit you hard and unexpectedly, but In this post I will list some of the things I do to cure my Post Disney Depression !
Listening to Disney playlist ! No matter what music platform you use Spotify , Apple Music, or TIDAL there are going to be Disney playlist ! You obviously love Disney movies so listening to the soundtracks from some of our favorite movies would definitely ease up on some of the pressure. Listening to the music from the parks. On my first Disney College Program I worked in Epcot and I fell in love with the soundtrack ! I found myself missing it at home so I found the soundtrack on YouTube ! I will provide the link to that video here . If you ever find yourself missing your parks soundtrack you can always find it on YouTube . Hanging your mickey ears on your wall . After your program or vacation you will have a ton of mickey ears you have accumulated over time. These Mickey Ears can make some really cute wall art and remind you of your time at the happiest place on earth. Wearing Disney merch! Wearing Disney merch is such a good conversation starter wearing it will have people asking questions and you get to talk about the thing you love the most , which is Disney! Having a Disney lock screen. The item I use most in my everyday life is my phone and every time I look at my phone I see my lock screen which is the castle ! It keeps the memory of the castle close in my mind ! Planning a Disney vacation even if it's fake. I love to go on the Disney website and plan full vacations, book resort rooms, set up meal plans, add flights. Then exit the websit. I do this often because it is great to dream and imagine whet your next trip will be like as well as being informative of prices for your next actual vacataion. Following Disney blogs Keeping up the things that go on in the parks are a pivotable part of curing the PDD. This in a sense makes you feel like you are still there. You still get that feeling that you belong there, and you're still a part of it. Working at the Disney store This is the best way in my opinion, you are still a cast member you still get a main gate and you get a inside look at all things disney. Working at the disney store was the best thing for me.I was able to bring up my Disney obsession in a environment where I wouldn’t be judged ! If you’re like me you have PDD As well. It’s ok we will get through this together. We just have to ride the wave until our next vacations Thanks for reading this post ! I would love to hear in the comments some things you do to cure your post Disney depression ! See ya real soon. So far during my college years I have completed two Disney college programs DCP for short. Both times I lived in an apartment with 5 other women! This was a college environment with very close quarters so I got the chance to learn a lot about these women. I wrote this blog post to talk about the different kind of roommates we all experience during college.
Friend for life Roommate. Some roommates are just that roommates and after college is over you never see these people again, but sometimes you get blessed with a Roommate where after your program or graduation is over you two keep in touch! You guys visit each other in your home towns and you talk weekly! These are the Roommates who are your lifelong friends! You spent a very big part of your lives together and learnt a lot about that person and it made you two closer! Passive Aggressive Roommate We aren’t all so lucky to be blessed with a passive aggressive Roommate and maybe we were the passive aggressive Roommate! The passive aggressive roommate deals with things indirectly instead of addressing things head on! This person will do something and then post sticky notes or make snide remarks about it but never directly say anything about the situation! Once I was the passive aggressive roommate because I had male roommates who were constantly peeing on the bathroom floor. I posted a sign in the bathroom that read "if you sprinkle when you tinkle be a sweetie wipe the seatie”. That sign did not work there was still piss everywhere. I got tired of it and finally said something and that worked! After directly addressing the situation I finally got the pee to stop! Hallelujah!! I had a roommate who took out the garbage that was overflowing then left notes all over the house. Homesick roommate This roommate is someone who has never been to sleepovers, never went to summer camp, whatever the reason maybe they miss home. They may even have a significant other back home that they miss. They spend most of their time in the dorm facetiming various friends and relatives. You feel bad for them because they miss all the fun that college years has to offer but you also relate to them because of course you miss your folks too, you just go about things a different way. The Mom roommate The mom roommate is the responsible one. Our mom roommate was always decorating for the holidays like Halloween and Christmas! She cooked most of our thanksgiving dinner, which was bomb, and she brought a Tv with a DVD player and Hella movies! We all can appreciate the mom roommates because college or DCP can be a hard time away from home we miss our family, our dorm is ugly and dormy looking, we haven't had home cooked meals. The mom roommate fills this void she's your mom away from home! She also made sure we’re all safe when we went out to party! The rude roommate. This girl talks trash about every single other roommate, just overall rude in general. Only good thing about her is she’s neat. She talks about your other roommates to you and she talks to your other roommates about you. SHE cannot be trusted. Alcoholic roommate. This roommate is drunk every single day everyone is concerned about her and quite positive she should be attending AA Meetings. She wakes up drinking and finishes a bottle before she falls asleep. Dirty roommate. This roommate leaves their stuff everywhere always promising to get it later but after days someone else folds and gets it for her. If the shower is clogged it’s because of her hair. Dishes in the sink probably hers. Her clothes are all over the floor and her bed is never made. Queen of leaving things in the fridge for weeks until it molds. Literally your worst nightmare. The roommates that arent your roommate These people are in your dorm or apartment so much they are basically considered a roommate. They attend all the “family dinners” they put on money for the dorm Christmas tree and had presents under the tree. These friends are in your dorm even when you’re not there and you think they have a toothbrush in your apartment too. You roommate’s boyfriend. There is always one roommate where her boyfriend comes as a package deal. He’s at the dorm all day every day you looked in her closet to steal a cardigan and discovered all his clothes there. He contributes to household duties such as trash and killing rodents. It kind of works out perfectly because you kind of have a house Brother. Party roommate This roommate parties all the time, when she’s sick after work after church after class this roommate parties. You’re not sure if they learned anything in college but they had a good time. You’re also pretty sure they are getting kicked out of uni and it’s just a matter of time! Leave me comments telling me if I left out any roommates also let me know which roommate you were! I would love to get comments telling me about other topics you want to hear about in future blog post.
This blog post is going to be something I hope we all can relate to and I know we will. The 20 something are such a weird and wild time, half of my friends are getting married and having babies and the other half is so drunk they can’t even find their car keys. Ever pull up to the club VIP, gas tank on E, but all drinks on you? Ever been out at a club rent due, $ 7.28 in your bank account and then proceed to buy a $5 shot? Yea me too, welcome to the Dub Club.
The 20 somethings are like the trial period to adult hood it’s that weird time in life where you’re an adult but not really an adult. Trying to finish college find a career in your field, trying to date, find time to hang out with old friends it’s a lot. Dating is weird because we have this side chick wave happening, we have the tinder hookup wave happening and the other select few are all the ones seriously interested in dating. In your 20 somethings I’m sure there is one ex that you are still madly in love with still wondering what went wrong, pretty sure you will always love them. That’s totally okay and understandable it’s going to happen. You built a connection with someone fell in love with them, probably built a whole future in your mind only for the relationship to end. That sucks dude I know, but life goes onz That’s not always the case sometimes you have an ex that did you SOOO dirty you just feel like yooo fuck that kid for what they did, I know I have one of those to, but try not to let that change you. You may want to start a hoe phase or become heartless but just try to remain true to yourself. College is threating to kill you, you have 3 essays due, a test in every single class and your roommate keeps stealing your stuff. Your professor replies to your emails with one word. your professors are barely available for office hours, I know. When you finally graduate you struggle to find a job in your field because they all want you to have 3 years of experience when you literally just graduated last month, you hate the fact that after you have just submitted your resume the very next page asks you to list your work experience. You just try your hardest to find an entry level position to get the experience you need to get the bigger and better jobs. On the other hand, I have friends who graduated and found careers in their field immediately, don’t let that get to you to much you’re still doing good and trying your hardest. Let’s say you dropped out don’t feel bad college is not for everyone and you do not need a degree to be successful. the worst thing that can happen is when you must set your own doctors and dentist appointments, I still haven’t figured that part out and I’m just waiting until the pain goes a way no big deal. Walgreens is just around the corner.
Have you ever eaten "sleep " for dinner? Ever been so broke you just skipped dinner and went to sleep? Yea, me too. I go to the grocery store and I buy ramen and cereal! Free food is my motivation to go places. I never leave my house without asking will there be food there? Every time I go to my parents’ house I go grocery shopping in their pantry and fridge. Why are millennials addicted to chicken nuggets? It baffles me! A millennial girl will kill someone if she can’t get her chicken nuggets, I know a girl who is a vegetarian but she still eats chicken nuggets she said they were her exception! I thought that was so hilarious. Were obsessed with cute food we can put on our Instagram’s and hashtag blessed. When you’re 20 something the world hates you, the baby boomers love to blame everything on the millennial, they’re haters they’re jealous. Whenever I read a headline about the millennials ruining something I roll my eyes so hard they almost get stuck. So let’s say you’re 20 something and you just graduated college not everyone has the money saved to get their own apartment or buy a home so where does that leave us , back at home with the parents and as I wrote before moving back home after living alone is a struggle . This is where the depression and anxiety comes from. Depression and anxiety are on the rise half of us are too afraid to get help, won’t even talk about it peoples families aren’t there for them it’s a hard time. As far as my depression goes I just post memes about it, we all deal with things differently.
The LGBT community fights for their rights every single day and let’s not forget the striking about of black people being victimized by the police. Black women coming up missing, neo Nazis and white supremacist KKK members rioting right in front of our faces. NFL members getting fired for protesting the national anthem and their president focusing more on this than the natural disasters and climate change plaguing the world. The Latino community is literally getting deported and their rights are being stripped right from them. Imagine dealing with this while being 20 something. J Cole said there’s beauty in the struggle and I believe him, the beauty in the struggle is that it makes you appreciate the success even more. After all I want us all to stay strong and try our hardest to make it out on top, I know it’s all we want and we’ve come this far so why not go all the way. I know we all want to just skip this and start our empires already rule the world already but it’s coming I promise. I want to hear you guys in the comments tell me if you agree with me tell me what I missed. This weekend has been crazy with all the celebrations and food and outfits and makeup but that's what birthdays are for ! As my 21st year comes to end I want to take a time to reflect on it see what was great about it and what I want to improve for my 22nd year!
21 was great I was extremely social and outgoing, I traveled and I tried new things! With 22 I want to do all of that but times 100! It's my birthday and there is this feeling inside me this feeling of a shift. I want 22 to be my best year yet, the year of traveling, financial freedom, happiness and love. It's just time to get my life together and become the best version of me. A very phenomenal woman said something that just stuck out to me. Maxine waters said, "Reclaiming my time" and that is the theme of my 22nd year. To me reclaiming my time means getting back all the time you wasted on non-sense and there is nothing wrong with that ! I won't be afraid to say reclaiming my time whenever I feel my time needs to be reclaimed! The shift that I'm feeling is a shift my heart. The wants that I wanted before are seeming more futile and the wants for my future are becoming more impactful. In a sense, I have this tremendous hope for the year and for life ahead of me! Someone who I look up told me "I just don't be caring, I could die tomorrow so I just try to be happy and positive all the time " and I felt that as soon as he said it. I thought to myself I'm going to live my life like that ! I want to take chances and say yes to more things and just live my life to the fullest! I want to travel places, meet people, eat new things and then come home and blog about it! Shop at new stores get my nails done at new places, really switch it up this year! Most of the time our eyes are closed to the world around us because we only focus on the familiar! Does that make sense? What I mean is you don't see what you're not looking for! So, by you always shopping at the same place eating the same thing you may not even see that cool new spot that popped up right next to it! With the blog, I want to keep dropping fire I have so many ideas for things I want to do in the video realm so I want to get started with that. Physically I want to be more conscious of what I put in my body. I want to be healthier not diet but just eat things that are better for me! I want to physically block out all negative energy from around me, remove myself from situations that make me feel uncomfortable. I have these amazing ideas and opportunities lined up for me and I want 22 to be my year. I really can't wait to take you all on this journey with me! Subscribe to my blog notifications to stay updated! Thirteen months ago I decided to become a Vegetarian . I can't take full credit because the idea was not completely mine it was my moms and I was a support for her but she quit and thirteen months later I'm still at it! Before I decided to become vegetarian I would go weeks at a time not eating meat , I just didn’t crave it . I was not the type of person who needed meat to survive so being a full fledged vegetarian came somewhat easy . I had tried it before for months and then went back to meat and now thirteen months is the longest I've been ! Here are some of the things that I've learned along the way .
There are a lot of vegetarians: When I became vegetarian I began to meet more vegetarians , and maybe my eyes just weren't open to them before but they are there ! Whenever I meet a fellow veggie its like we share this special bond and were somehow connected in a veggie cult . There are a ton of meat substitutes: Contrary to what you may believe just because I eat a veggie burger does not mean I want a real burger .In the beginning soy based meat substitutes can act as a crutch when you are transitioning into vegetarianism , some of the meat substitutes are so good they even get approved by meat eaters ! Vegetarian resturants: Nuff Said! I was really blind before I became a vegetarian but these restaurant's make you realize 100% you do not need meat ! A restaurant where you can literally eat everything is amazing because most times we just stick to side dishes And I love how restaurants like Freshii charge extra for meat ! Its the perfect vegetarian fast food restaurant. Be plant based: I learned the hard way that I was doing vegetarianism all wrong by eating bread , rice , pasta , fries and chips , that was literally a terrible diet to have and my body suffered tremendously ,now that I am plant based I can really feel the benefits of being vegetarian I feel so much energy , my skin is glowing and I am losing weight . Being vegetarian is lit ! Vegetarian and vegan are two different things: A vegetarian is one who does not eat meat , however a vegan does not consume or use any animal products .A vegan will not consume dairy at all or wear leather and are against products tested on animals ! It amazes me how many people think I am a vegan and how many people try to convince me to be a vegan . I have 100% thought of it and who knows whats in the future for me but for now i'm just a vegetarian . People try to convince me to eat meat: When people find out I'm a vegetarian they do some weird stuff : a coworker waved a piece of bacon in my face and I was triggered , literally my whole family tells me to eat meat and its kind of annoying .This was a decision I clearly made and I knew what i was doing when I made it so the interference is really irritating . I'm Vegetarian AF. This has been the most fun journey I have ever been on and I have learned so much about myself and the culture ! I would love to hear feedback from fellow vegetarians in the comments also if you have any questions about vegetarianism in the comments please ask lets start a discussion ! If you feel there is anything I missed on the list feel free to add ! |
