Holly-days

I have been sucked in. I have always had the idea in my head that I need to wait for Christmas/Holiday music until AFTER Thanksgiving but, I have given in. Everyone else is doing it! The Peppermint Mocha's and Carmel Apple Spice at Starbucks also make me think of all the gifts I want to buy. The hard part is figuring out just WHAT!

I've bought my mom wayyyyy too many clothes and although I can spice up any gift with some Madewell purchases I also know that I want the majority of my presents to have a sentimental or thoughtful meaning. That being said, here are a few things I would recommend for anyone :)

some of my favorite books :)



any gift that gives back! Toms Shoes gives a shoe to a child in need with every purchase and West Elm has a whole section of "Gifts that give back" There are a variety of these mugs that give 50% of proceeds to the mug's selected charity (This one benefit's The Boy's and Girls Club).

Finally, This cool website allows you to create your own hardcover photo BOOK for someone special in your life. I've got a few ideas myself. There's a promotion right now for Buy One Get One FREE on this website.

You can always send me an email if you want in on my special new vintage button rings and knot rings too! (Pictures up soon in another post).

My mom always told me that Holly the Elf would come and help Santa bring the presents.... I think when I grow up I want to be holly the elf.There are more ideas to ponder and thoughts to think but here are a few cool ideas! Toot-i-loo

Senioritis Thoughts

College is an accessory. We have a tiny little piece of paper (and maybe some swag) at the end of it all to tell people who we are. That's a lot to say on one piece of paper eh? I feel like I've been everywhere...

 

 I remember people speculating and giving me their opinions and thoughts when I was applying to all of them, but what do they know? They don't have my experience with my accessories.

I graduated with my Associates degree from FIDM and am BEYOND grateful for that experience but as I finish up my Bachelor of Arts degree I can't help but be so excited about where I ended up. Both degrees give me so much brain accessories and knowledge that I don't know what to do with myself!
Literally.

It's frustrating but a blessing at the same time. Who can say that they have too many options in their brain about what to do with their life? I just know that I want to make an impact, help people realize the necessary things in their lives (great schooling, good work ethic, maybe some Live in Love Jewelry would be an accessory treat ;)) while also showing them the UNnecessary accessories (bad boyfriends, that way-too-expensive car)

ANYWAY, who knows how I'll figure a way to do it but I know I have SO many college experiences to thank, this last one probably, definitely, the most.

I promise my posts won't always be this heartfelt and thought-y
