Long Time, No Blog

So I haven't blogged in a very long time! Mostly because school has been epically crazy but also because I am working on my new Instablog! I'm mostly posting my photography and recent reads. I am going to try and integrate some fashion into it soon. If you would like to check it out my username is unbelievablyinspired! I hope that you guys will check it out and give your feedback as to whether or not you like it !(:

As always have a lovely day!

My Favorite Fall Music

Fall is my favorite time to try out new things! 

Here are my new Fall Favorites:

1. Indie Folk. 

This is one of my favorite genres of music and during the fall my obsession has a mind of it's own. Although not all of my fall playlist songs are indie folk, this genre makes up most of it. Here are the songs that are on my fall playlist currently...

-Me at the Museum, You in the Wintergardens by Tiny Ruins

-Son my Son by Milo Greene

-Work Song by Hozier

-Faux by Novo Amor & Ed Tullett

-What I Wouldn't Do by Serena Ryder

-Drive Darling by BOY

-Shallows (4AD Session) by Daughter

2. Pumpkin Anything

Yes. I know. Everyone says that the basic people in the world eat pumpkin everything during the fall but I don't care. I love pumpkin things. I love my Green Mountain Pumpkin Spice Coffee that I put Vanilla Creamer in. I love the little candy corns that are shaped like pumpkins, and pumpkin pie. I especially love pumpkin pie ice cream. They are amazing and I love them. (:

3. One Word: Flannel. 

I love flannel. I love plaid, I love I love I love. This is one of my favorite fashion trends out there. And the blanket scarves are still going strong. Thank goodness. I love these scarves. They are one of my favorite things to pair with a nice sweater on a chilly day. When I have to go to class during the late fall, I am always tempted to throw on sweat pants and a comfy sweatshirt, but I will do this no more! I will fight the cold with cute sweaters and plaid blanket scarves and ankle boots.

4. My Fav Fall Colors

My favorite colors for this year would be maroon, tan, brown, bronze, deep reds, dark greens, and heather grey. 

5. Make-up

My make-up obsession has reached an all time high. My favorites for this fall:

-Dark Colored Lipsticks

-Bronze, Dark Browns, Purples, and Light Cream Eyeshadow

-Cat-eyes on the smaller side done in either dark purple, brown, or black liner.

Those are Five of my Fall Favorites for 2015. 

Update: Things are in motion in my life right now that may open new opportunities for a new blog and a potential youtube channel. 

See you soon, lovelies!

XOXO,

Taylor(:

Wake Up and Smell the Smoothies

At one point or another I'm sure that all of us have played with the idea of eating right. Played with the idea of changing our ways to FINALLY eat healthy like we all know we should. However, that lasts only two seconds because cookies are delicious creations that cannot be resisted.

Eating healthy is hard. Trust me, I know. I have a hard time not scarfing down twenty cookies in one sitting. But do not fret if you seek to be healthy!! THERE IS A WAY!

AND THAT WAY IS SMOOTHIES!!:

I   L O V E   S M O O T H I E S. They are amazing creations that you can make all your own. Whether you use a recipe or throw a bunch of random sort-of healthy things in the blender, they are something that you can use to get energy for the day while being healthy!

Here is one of my favorite recipes!

Breakfast Energy Smoothie:

Ingredients:

·       2 cups orange juice

·       1 cup vanilla yogurt

·       1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

·       2 cups mixed fresh or frozen berries

HERE IS THE LINK TO THE BREAKFAST ENERGY SMOOTHIE SITE FOR THE RECIPE AND PRETTY PICTURES OF ITS GOODNESS:

http://deliciouslysprinkled.com/breakfast-energy-smoothie/

           Although I love finding new recipes, sometimes I find make some of my own! The smoothie that I am drinking while making this very blog is my 

Bananarama Smoothie of Ultimate Goodness. 

The ingredients you need to make my smoothie is:

(Forgive my measurements. They are not exactly precise and you may change them to suit what you would like to be more prominent in your smoothie!(:  )

-As much Vanilla Greek Yogurt as you please, however I used about 7 big spoonfuls.


-6 cubes of pineapple (about the size of a cherry tomato).

-1 Banana

-1 1/2 cups of Orange Juice

NOW BLEND TIL IT REACHES THE CONSISTENCY YOU ARE PLEASED WITH AND ENJOY THE BANANARAMA GOODNESS. 

That's all for today, lovelies!!! Have an amazing summer day!!(:

Summer Fun Has Just Begun!

It's just the beginning of the summer and I simply can't wait for all for the fun to come! 

What I've been up to! 

Buffalo! :

        So I have been super busy these past few weeks! I love the summer time! Although the heat is not my favorite thing in the world, I enjoy it while it lasts! As you guys may know, I made some friends during my first year of college, and one of them just happens to be one of my best friends, Tori! 

Tori, or as I like to call her Saurus (Short of Tori-saurus. She is only the coolest dinosaur ever!), unfortunately doesn't live near me! She lives in the illustrious state of New York! But that was no obstacle! Not soon after our summer vacation began I caught a plane to Buffalo to see my bestie once more! 

From the moment that she picked me up from the airport the trip was loads of fun!

After picking me up at the airport, we went and watched her sister Steph play softball! She did awesome and her team even won! Yay! Go Steph! (She's pretty cool cat.)

First!
            I got to meet some of her friends from back home, who are super cool I might add! She also took me to some really good places to eat, and I'm sure that everyone is aware of my love for food. I may be picky but that doesn't mean that I love food any less!!!

A couple days later we went to the amazing Niagara Falls!!! We got to explore things like the Wax Museum as well as different stores in Canada!

We found a cute little stone gazebo so PICTURESSSSSSS!

The Falls are quite beautiful of course, and the scenery around them were just as beautiful as well! Along the side of the road we found some beautiful flowers to take pictures of!

NIAGARA FALLS, CANADA

2015

 (WUT WUT *RAISES THE ROOF*)

Although we were tired from the day before,

 the next day held just as much adventure, 

AND SHOPPING. I LOVE SHOPPING! 

I got some amazing things for great prices! 

I got a big sweater from Garage for only $9.50! It is so cute, and I can't wait to wear it next winter! I also got the cute baggy shirt from Garage as well! I believe, don't hold me to it, but I believe it was 12.50!

Oh! and I can't forget that I got to enter the beautiful thing that is URBAN OUTFITTERS FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER!!! I was overwhelmed by the beauty that is indie. Seriously though. Two words: Heart. Eyes.

After an amazing week at Saurus' beautiful home, I began my flights back to Ohio, which included an 8 hour layover in Chicago. Although I didn't not get to leave the airport to visit the city of my dreams, I did get some amazing aerial pictures from the plane! 

For the rest of the week:

                I was bombarded with meetings, scheduling a summer class, as

well as other important adult life stuff.

However, some of the highlights were visits from my

boyfriend, Sean! Getting to text Courty, and hopefully set sometime

for us to get together cause I miss my short bestie!

Also reading!
I've read some amazing books so far this summer! I have been totally into the Ghost Bird Academy Series by C. L. Stone, (The first one is called Introductions) who just released her eighth book in the series! If you haven't read it yet, it is definitely worth your time! I am also reading the Touch Novels by Laurie Faria Stolarz (The first one is called Deadly Little Secrets). Those books are quite amazing as well! I am on the fifth and final one at the moment, and I haven't been able to put it down! 

ANYWAYS! BACK TO MY ADVENTURES! 

Lol. We are bad at taking pictures sometimes.

I'm telling you. It's GORGEOUS!

Okay so a couple days ago, my parents, Sean, and myself headed down to the gorgeous Hocking Hills in Logan, OH. If you haven't been there it is definitely worth the trip. Spending the day hiking with loved ones is super fun, and not mention that the scenery is absolutely breathtaking. 

Alrighty! That's all I have for today! Keep an eye out for my next post! Hope that you guys have a wonderful night, day, afternoon or morning (wherever or whenever you are reading this!) 

Bye lovelies! 
xoxo,
Taylor (:

Homework, Stress, and Time Management

Today's post is based upon the principle that life can get hard and sometimes you just need a little time to yourself. Sometimes it is tough to keep going with your school work. Procrastination begins to set in and it corrupts your work ethic without your consent. But when that happens here are a few tips to keep you sane this semester:

1. Taking Breaks

Taking Breaks is never a bad thing. It can be beneficial and help you keep your work going. Sometimes enough is enough and you can't work any longer so you need a little break so you don't go insane. It's okay that you need that break every once in a while because everyone does. When I take a break I usually listen to music, maybe dance around my room a little, even sing til my heart is content. I find that surfing Spotify for new music to love is a great way to take a study break. Music is my kryptonite so it is the perfect release when I need one. So when your brain feels like it can't work any longer, find your fuel, and kryptonite, to keep you going til the very end.

2. Give Yourself Incentives

Incentives are pretty awesome and can give you the motivation to get your work done faster. Whether it's that you will get to hang out with your friends when you are done or that ice cream that you bought last weekend that's sitting in your fridge just waiting for consumption. What? Is that last one just me? You know what, a little ice cream never killed anyone, in fact it can even save your grade by getting you to get your homework done! These aren't the only incentives you can use. Maybe your incentive is cookies, or gummy bears, or watching the next episode of your favorite show on pinterest. Who knows? It could be anything. All I know is that it might get you one step closer to finishing that dreadful assignment that you have spent way too much time giving the evil eye.

3. Remember Sleep

Don't forget to sleep in the midst of your homework mountain. Sleep is really important and a sleepy student gets little homework done in a timely manner. I know from experience because when your energy is low and you have that homework assignment due soon looming over your head it is easy to say that you will go to bed later. That if you finish it now you can sleep later.

 These are just three of my tips to stay on track in college, there will be more posts featuring my friends coming about this later. Have an amazing day lovelies!
xoxo,
Taylor(:
