A Shopper's Dream App: RetailMeNot

Side note: Hey guys I'm soooooo sorry that I haven't posted in such a long time. I initially took what was only to be a two week break to study for midterms. However, as you can see the break lasted longer than I had hoped. But really, there is no excuse for this and I'm so sorry and I am going to post regularly again for as long as possible and not go AWOL for such a long time.

Ok now onto my one of my new favorite apps: RetailMeNot.

Interview exchange with...(drum roll)...Olivia Foster!

First off, Happy New Year!!! I hope you guys had a great new year's and are as excited for 2014 as I am! To kick off the new year, why not do a fun, little collaborative post? So I teamed up with Olivia Foster, a fellow blogger, and she came up with the idea of us conducting little interviews with one another. We used the same questions so after checking out her answers (which are great because she's hilarious), you can go to her blog http://itsoliviafoster.blogspot.com/ to see my...uhhh...interesting answers? Haha, alright, I'm going to stop blabbering now, here's the interview:

1) What inspired you to start your blog? After sticking around the Internet for a while a soon realized that some of my favourite people have blogs! I started searching up blogs, and then clicking on tons of blog buttons and I decided that soon it was time for me to get my own one!

2) Who is/are your rolemodel(s)? I look up to many different people for many different reasons it's so hard to choose!

3) What are your some of your hobbies? My hobbies are probably blogging, blog designing, graphic designing, watching on YouTube and eating pizza. Very active... LOL

New Years Eve Party Outfit Inspiration

Sorry this post is so late! I know its the day before New Year's Eve so you guys probably have your party outfits picked out but now all procrastinators, like yours truly, can unite! I love New Years and well, hopefully, this can inspire us procrastinators! So when I think New Years I think blue, black, and gold. To avoid wearing a lot of jewelry to glamorize a simple dress, I would pick a patterned dress that stands out by itself.To make the ensemble pop I added an elegant royal blue clutch. Lastly a cute low bun works perfectly with a busy dress like this because it allows you to appreciate the dress without your hair covering all the dress's awesomeness!

Outfit aside, New Years Eve is about celebrating a new beginning so make sure you celebrate it! Have fun, be happy! If the past year was a little rough, make the new year to come the best year yet! Embrace it, create goals you want to achieve in 2014! However, as a piece of advice, make sure you make small goals you will be able to achieve so you don't become discouraged. I made this mistake last year which allowed me to only complete half my goals. But hey, now its almost a new year,  so another new start haha!

Sorry for babbling! I hope you enjoyed this post! What are some of your goals for 2014? :) 

Hooray, Blog Makeover!

Sooooooo notice anything different about the blog?!? As given away in the title, my blog has been beautified! I love the new look, and it so me! Its all thanks to an awesome blogger and designer Olivia Foster!

A few days ago I received a sweet email from Olivia saying that she had created a free blog design for me. I previewed the design, and fell in love with it instantly. I wrote back that the design was perfect for me, and tada, within a few hours my blog had undergone a complete transformation! 

Olivia is so sweet and such a talented designer/blogger and I can't thank her enough for personalizing my blog. She replied very quickly to emails, and answered any questions I had, making the whole process very smooth. Also a huge perk was that the whole design was free! 

So if your looking to change up your blog design, I definitely suggest contacting Olivia :)
