Favorite Stores of August 2015

I have always liked shopping, but for the past few years I have been obsessed with it. Maybe not a shopaholic, but something close to that. Because I am heading off to college in the fall, I have spent a lot of time shopping with my parents, friends, or by myself for college gear. This type of gear entails shower accessories, makeup, footwear, clothing to wear daily, and much more. Because I have been spending so much time shopping, I wanted to share my favorite stores that I have visited a lot over the past few months for college clothing.

1. Victoria's Secret - I have always been a consistent shopper at this store, but I have been buying so many pairs of leggings, yoga pants, and v-neck t shirts from here recently. Victoria's Secret has a great selection sweatpants, leggings, sweatshirts, etc. that are attractive yet comfortable, which makes wearing them easy. I always find myself reaching for Victoria's Secret apparel, whether it's for underwear, leggings, sweatpants, sweatshirts, t-shirts, etc. as they are really comfortable and are long lasting. If you want comfortable clothing that is appealing, go to this store! The prices are a bit high, but it is so worth it to buy clothing from here.

2. Urban Outfitters - Urban Outfitters is expensive, but the quality of clothing is so great. I always find at least one thing that I love when I walk into Urban Outfitters, and I usually end up purchasing it. Urban has the more up to date fashionable clothing that is perfect for people of all shapes and sizes, and the clothing is flattering and fashionable.

3. Sephora - I absolutely love buying makeup from Sephora because of how high quality it is. Sephora sells so many brands that whoever walks in is likely to end up walking out having purchased at least one product. Sephora's products are also pretty pricey, but the quality of the products provided are so high quality, which makes the large purchase worth it.

4. H&M - I absolutely love H&M, as they sell fashionable clothing at a decent price. I always walk into H&M and end up walking out having bought at least one piece of clothing. I spent so much time in this store, like hours upon hours, just cruising around the floor picking up pieces of clothing that I adore. H&M's clothing always fits me so well, and I love shopping there!

Getting Through Finals Week

As winter break is approaching and finals week is coming up, many students are stressed about how to study in order to perform successfully on their tests. Here are some tips on how to be calm, well rested, and ready for finals week. 1. Use Quizlet  - I started using Quizlet my junior year of high school, and I have used it ever since. I am now a freshman in college and I still use Quizlet for my classes. Quizlet is amazing; if you have a lot of terms you need to memorize, Quizlet is the perfect online website that will help you study those terms. Once you write in the terms and their definitions, there are a variety of options you can choose in order to study the terms, including a test, flashcards, etc. 2. Get lots of rest - Don't stay out late when you know you have a final the next day. Getting a lot of rest is beneficial if you want to perform well on a test. It does sound lame to go to sleep really early, but if you do so, your body will thank you. By going to sleep early...

Spicy Veggie Bean Chili

Since moving from my old house with a tiny, cramped kitchen to my new house with a large, open kitchen with an island, I have been meal prepping, cooking, and baking a lot more. With this, I have been keen to try new recipes! I do eat meat, but most of the time I tend to cook vegetarian and vegan meals. This vegetarian chili recipe was one that I came across while browsing for a good, hearty chili recipe, and it is so delicious I had to share it with all of you. I did not come up with this recipe myself. The lovely Shannon, with her blog "The Glowing Fridge," posted this recipe. Her website is amazing, and I highly recommend you check it out.
