We are back!!!! After a long hiatus and a step away from writing- I am back! I truly apologize for the time I spent away from blogging and writing. This past year has been insanely busy, chaotic, emotional, exciting, opportunistic, and lovely all at the same time. (As Taylor Swift once said “We’re happy, free, confused, and lonely at the same time. It’s miserable and magical.”) That sums up the last 12 months, but it makes me excited to share everything with y’all and get back into the swing of two blog posts per week!! First, I’ll give some updates on my life and then I’ll let you know what is to come in the next few months.

UPDATES:

• I joined a sorority!! I am a member of the Delta Mu chapter of Alpha Chi Omega and I love it! My big, Holliday, is one of the most amazing people I have ever met. She grew up in a place that we all know is near and dear to my heart- Orleans! In addition to Holliday, I have become involved with so many amazing women who share similar values and passions to me. The sorority has opened me up to so many leadership, on campus, and fun opportunities. I have been blessed to join two committees within the sorority which are the philanthropy and bid day committee. Our philanthropy is domestic violence awareness which I think is something that’s very important and that more people need to become educated and aware of. As for the bid day committee, we have bid day this Tuesday and I am so beyond excited to welcome a new member class and to go through my first time as a recruiter during formal recruitment this weekend.
• In addition to joining Greek life, I joined the UMass chapter of Her Campus. Her Campus is a national blog for college students, particularly women, with chapters at many universities across the country. I have to submit my first article pitch this weekend.
• I’ve gained an executive board position in Women In Business. I am the historian, which is a position I previously held in student council in high school. My role is to take pictures at all of the events and create albums. 
• My class schedule is very busy with five classes total. Four on Tuesdays and Thursdays and only one on Mondays and Wednesdays. No classes on Fridays.
• I have taken a lot of my time and effort into focusing on the Instagram aspect of the blog! That’s a part of the reason why I have been slacking a bit on the website aspect of the blog and company.
• This fall, I started receiving PR packages. This has been such an exciting step for me and my goals with what I intend on doing with this blog and my medias. I would love to build a larger audience to inspire others and share my love for self care, reading, thrifting, fitness, and the beach.

Moving Forward

Moving forward, I intend on returning to my normal activity here, with two articles per week! Next week, I’ll move back into my Monday and Friday posting schedule. I have tons of fall articles coming. One article I cannot wait to post is my comprehensive reading list of all the books I’ve read and the books I plan on reading by the end of the year. Also, please leave comments or Instagram direct messages on what you want to see! So happy to be back! So much love for you all!!

Xoxo,
