Rainy Lunch Date w/ the Girls

Woah, woah, woah, is this the first post of 2017? And it’s already February 1?? That’s waaaaay too long. Ever since my last blog post, when finals mode kicked in, my busy life has been going non-stop since then, and it still is! I’m completely exhausted- but I’m not complaining! Yes, I’ve been driving from one place to another and hardly spending any time by myself, but mostly because I’ve been given SO many amazing opportunities to fill my schedule with! Whether it be the All-District choir concert, or just hanging out with my girls, I’ve been having a blast doing so many things I love. What I HAVEN’T been doing (and I HAVE been missing so incredibly much) is blogging! What the heck, Katherine?! Not to fear, I’m back and hoping to really keep my blog going, despite the chaos that is everyday life. So to ring in the new year (a little late, but better than never), I’ve decided to start with a fashion post from our girls’ lunch date, with a few added pictures of my friends ’cause they’re just too cute to not include.

Making Time: For God & The Things You Love

Holy cow, it’s been a long time since I’ve been on here! I swear, there is never a busier time of the month than fall, with all your classes kicking into gear, clubs/activities starting up, and anything else time consuming you can imagine. Ask any of my friends or family and they’d tell you that I really haven’t had ANY free time, unless you count sleeping or eating. I’ve honestly been so upset about not having the time to sit down and write a blog post with everything that’s going on, but then it hit me- DUH! You have to make time if there isn’t time already! Of course, that sounds like the typical answer you get but can never actually achieve or follow through on, but here me out.

Black Friday: Deals You Won’t Want to Miss

If you can’t tell from my plethora of fashion related blog posts and how excited I get at when I’ve bought something on sale, I LOVE BARGAINS. So naturally, Black Friday is probably one of my favorite times of the year (and also one of the most dangerous times as well, my wallet takes a huge hit). Don’t get me wrong, I’m not one of those people that goes and waits in a line on Thanksgiving night just to get the thing I want- I wouldn’t want to sacrifice family time for something that small. However, I will so take up any chance I can to go shopping without sacrificing anything major, except for my money of course. (: So to help all you crazy people like me who are obsessed with shopping as well, I’ve created a list of my favorite deals this Black Friday that you definitely won’t want to miss.

Giving Thanks

This probably has to be my absolute favorite time of the year. People always laugh when I tell them that because they always say, “But Katherine, you can’t even eat the turkey,” (I’m vegetarian for clarification), “that’s the best part!” I simply just laugh, too, because that’s definitely not the best part. For some reason, it seems like as your tummies get bigger, your hearts do too. Haha, or maybe it’s just because it’s Thanksgiving and everyone of all ages and backgrounds is realizing just how thankful they should be. So in spirit of the season, I’ll be sharing some of my major reasons (not in any order) to be thankful, and maybe you can add some of these to your list, too! (:

Long Time, No… Blog?

Woah, there, what’s happened? It’s been like what, two months almost since I’ve been on here? That’s waaaaaay too long. Seriously, I’m so sorry you guys, life’s been getting crazy and honestly I just haven’t even had time to think about blogging. But I’m going to try and make it a personal goal of mine to at least blog some of my favorite quotes or bible verses when short on time, and try to get some more real stuff out as well. But as for this post, how about a little status update on my life to fill all of y’all in?

What to Pack for a Picnic

Summer brings on loads of fun activities, and I must say that one of my favorites is a good old-fashioned picnic. I don’t have picnics often, but when I do, I’ve always had fun and made myself a reminder to do it again. But if there’s any time to pack up a basket with some of your favorite snacks, it’s before school starts up again. Yet this raises the question, “where do you even start?” And that’s where I come in. (:

10 Things To Do Before Summer’s Over

So we all create those summer bucket lists with like 50 things to do, right? I know it’s not JUST me… Anyway, you get to the end of summer, and look at that little not-so-little list, and realize you only did 6 out of 50 things you had written down, am I right again? I’ve done that for countless years, and I’m tired of realizing that not even half of the things I planned to do over summer were accomplished. What a sad way to end summer break, feeling disappointed in yourself! However, I’ve compiled a smaller list of just TEN things to do before summer ends, and your task is…

The Greek Festival: Opa!

Another fun fact about me that I actually left out of my About page and last blog post: on my dad’s side, my entire family is Greek! I’ve been to Greece to visit family before, and can’t wait to go back there again this summer with my classmates! But of course, being Greek means that you not only look a little Greek, but you “act” Greek, dance like a Greek, throw plates like a Greek, and eat Greek. Hey, I’m not complaining.
