Be Adventurous






Cami: American Eagle Shirt: Love Culture Necklace: Francessca's Jeans: American Eagle Boots: Francessca's

When in Maryland shopping, one must give any store the benefit of the doubt. When I was on my road trip to New Jersey of a spring break heading for New York, we always make a stop at a friend's house in Maryland. We rushed to their finest mall and after handfuls and handfuls of clothes to try on and walking out store after store with absolutely nothing. My goal of any shopping was slowly being put down and seemed like nothing short of a pipe dream.

Then I saw Love Culture... which immediately is not the kind of store I go into firsthand. It has that body central vibe to it, which don't get me wrong for years was my go to jewelry place. But lately my peter pan collar obsession has taken me to new places. But to my dismay as I looked around I noticed the shirt of all shirts... the bow shirt.

There has been no shirt before it that has ever embodied my personality, obsession with boys, and my imaginative charm I so wish actually isn't that imaginative. This is all goes to show you never know what might actually be in those stores you refuse to go into.... 


sometimes your spirit shirt is calling to you.

  • "I wouldn't want to be anywhere else in the world." Now that's magic

  • The easiest way to impress me is tap dancing right there in front of me.

Let's Fly To Neverland





Shirt: Forever 21 Skirt: J Crew Shoes: Payless Bracelet: Alex and Ani


I may absolutely adore the disney princesses Ariel and Belle, but my heart also goes out to Wendy. Truth be told my heart shattered the day I realized I was too tall to be Wendy in Disney World and lately with the move to Florida more and more on my mind I can't help but think of Wendy and my dream. Not to mention just looking like Wendy on a daily basis would be awesome. Lucky for me one thing I absolutely love to wear is Peter Pan Collars that while look nothing like Wendy, help me feel a little closer to her. What can I say? I just love looking like a fourteen year old trapped in a twenty-one year old's body I suppose.

Here's to the disney lover and kid in all of us

Products I Love: Arbonne's Sea Salt Scrub


I am obsessed with smooth skin and sweet sugary smelling things so if you're going to give me a product that gives me both of those things.. I will eat it up and probably cry tears of joy. 

For those of you who don't know what an Arbonne party is, it's simply a spa party with your closest girlfriends (or if you aren't hosting it... most likely the hosts close friends) where you soak your feet, get a full spa treatment, and learn some interesting health facts about products and the products your trying on. It's super low key, fun, and gets you on a skincare high. 


So when I won my free spa party and the lady pulled out the Arbonne Aromassentials Awaken Sea Salt Scrub she had my attention right away. She passed it around and talked about how she used it to shave her legs. You got the scrub them down and when you rinsed you were left with the oils to shave with. Immediately my eyes started seeing little hearts around the product and when she passed it around to smell... I died. 

It goes on so smooth and smells like a dream. Now I am not a fan of lemon, typically anything lemony makes me want to puke with the small exception to the rule and this is one of them. It's probably because I am so in love with how the oils make my skin feel that after I am done shaving I kid you not.... I want to run around telling people to feel my legs. (Is that just a me thing?.... okay....anyway)


It's a mere $32 dollars and lasts wayyy longer than any of the conditioners I tried shaving with to get that perfect shaved, smooth feeling. With a job like working on the beach I need smooth legs but not sensitive smooth legs that little gravels of sand will bother it, which sometimes was a problem but with Arbonne that's a thing of the past. I have found my life saver. And finally a reason to be really excited about shaving my legs... a tedious task we must do but wish we didn't have to.

"She Is Smiling"- The Bachelorette, Week One

Real Talk: If you don't love Andi, we can't be friends...



  • My thoughts are with Eric's family and friends, just looking over the guys he was my first pick. 
  • Seriously Andi is so adorable, her happiness and over all perkiness... so precious.
  • I am such a romantic at heart that I'd probably through it all away for love too... but twenty five guys arent fighting for my attention....
  • I need Andi's wardrobe
  • I am so glad she went with the other dress because that dress is gorgeous. 
  • I can relate to Andi... i too have said "wow" out loud when a guy has walked out in front of me.
  • The first meets always remind me of speed dating.
  • Aww I kinda like JJ.
  • Wedding planner is a wedding planner for a reason.... adorable.
  • I want a guy to teach me how to surf!
  • Jason reminds me of that guy on glee... socially awkward and a big mouth.
  • "She is smiling." what a compliment
  • Aww I like Dylan
  • Soccer is still my witness... hello Patrick.
  • I don't know if I have been watching too much Mad Men but Emil kind of resembles Jon Hamm a little
  • Every episode, I consider going on the bachelor.... I really do
  • I want to be serenaded... with Tarzan
  • "She looks like a bride!" I am sure the guy that got told to say that felt like an idiot.
  • So muchhhhh long hair
  • Aww my heart flew when Eric came out... he really would have been my favorite
  • My feelings about sushi is just like Andi
  • "the love of my life right now is cookies." me too, me too.
  • bahah the black and white cookie... funny and those are my favorite cookies
  • Okay I take back my impression of JJ.... he reminds me of Bill Nye... that's creepy
  • I want to go to South Africa in the jungles.... 
  • THEY'RE TALKING FRENCH. I only know how to say hello, bread, and.....undress lol
  • I love singers but I am never feeling opera singers
  • Patrick and Andrew are hitting it off with each other more than Andi...... they might have just found love.
  • I wish a guy would come out of no where and try for my heart..... intense.
  • Once as a kid I liked a guy that was in the FFA, so I feel ya Andi. I guess I could be into it too evidently.
  • Chris isn't your average farmer... helloooo.
  • Marcus was cuter when he walked out the limo.
  • I don't remember the guy that's getting the first impression rose lol.... ironic.
  • Aww but he is precious! But in a let me hug you, you are like the quirky side kick in my rom com
  • I hope she lets the Opera guy go, he gives me the creeps and it's not his singing....
  • Patrick didn't connect with Andi cuz he was too busy with Andrew.....
  • I watch too many soap operas and such but Bradley reminds me of the evil guys that show up and cause drama but that's unfair to his face.
  • I don't know that Andrew favors girls.... still skeptical.
  • If you don't follow Princess Problems on twitter you seriously should, she makes watching the show that much greater. 
  • I would have loved Josh and offered to be his wife if he hadn't went on his rant oh wow.

Cheers to the beginning of finding love Andi!
