Blanket

One of my favorite thing ever probably year round is cozying up in a blanket but it's even better in the colder months. I am literally under a blanket as I type this. They just make me feel so cozy and calm.

Cute sweaters

Sweaters are freaking great y'all. I think some people don't realize the greatness of the sweater. It saddens me honestly. Like that's not cool. You can slip on this thing which is probs supes cute so you'll be even cuter than you already are, you'll be warm, and it's comfy. Seriously the amount of times I've worn that one sweater that my grandma made for me is too many to count.

Hoodie 

I was just talking about sweaters but hoodies are a whollllle other level. Hoodies don't even compare. For most of the year I like sweaters better because I can actually easily take them off easily where with hoodies I really can't. For those like two days that it's actually cold in houston though? YEAH HOODIES ARE MY BEST FRIEND. They can be so cute and are just so cozy which is I guess the theme word for this post haha.

Hot drink

I have been drinking these hair hot chocolate things that cocoa locks sent me recently like every night and it's probably not good?? But I'm still going to because it tastes really good and it's supposed to be good for your hair so like IT'S HEALTHY OK DON'T JUDGE ME. I also drink (herbal) tea a lotttt. I just love warm drinks especially at night cause it calms me down and is good when it's cold.

Something orange

Fall is the season of halloween and just all things orange so for fall of course you need orange things. It could be a whole t-shirt or maybe it's room decor. A mini pumpkin alllllways works. I have this cute little hair clip that has a little spider on it and its orange and black that I've been wearing lately that I think is super fun and just puts me in the mood.

Leggings

I lovvvvve leggings so much!! I actually don't have that many though so like if anyone wants to change that I would be soooo fine with. Leggings are perfect for fall when it's too cold for shorts but it's either not cold enough or you're just not feeling, lets say, pants. Plus you can layer them and they're just super comfy.

Boots

I love boots of allll shapes and sizes (shoutout to my two pairs of converse boots that have now both broken, someone get me new ones please and thanks) but I've especially been loving my booties I've been wearing a lot lately!! You can dress them up and down and just ahh I love.

Yayyy that was fun. I hope y'all love that! Make sure to go check out Lanie and all of her fall essentials. :) Comment down below what your fall essentials are! 

11 Things Everyone Needs To Survive Summer

Summer is officially here. That means beaches, cute bathing suits, and lots of pictures of vacations that make other people jealous. And also a bunch of new stuff to deal with the whole weather changing thing and the whole no school thing. In this post, I am going to round up some of my essentials for summer.

Flip flops

I wear flip flops all year round but most people just wear them in the summer. They protect the bottom of your feet but they don't make your feet hot and they look cool (if you get the right ones) = perfect for summer. I got these really adorable but simple blue ones from old navy for like 3 dollars or something (I don't actually remember the price). 

A good book

Lots of people complain about getting bored during the summer which makes sense. I also get bored a lot over the summer. But something like a good book can help this greatly. Pick up a book from your local library and just enjoy the joy of reading a good book. Then when your done go get another book. As simple as that. 

Sunglasses

It is sunny in the summer. Usually. Well, at least it is sunny where I live (way too much so).  So sunglasses are a must if you want to keep the sun out of eyes. 

Bathing suit

I love swimming and the water so much. It cools you off and it is a really fun activity. To get in the water though you need a bathing suit. You can easily get some online or in stores and a lot of times you can find adorable ones which are a total plus. Look cute while doing something fun. That sounds like a win-win to me. 

Cute coverup 

But with a bathing suit a lot of times a coverup is needed when you are out of the water. It could be a simple dress that you don't wear or one of the waterproof ones you can find at the store. 

Hat

As I said above it is very hot in the summer. With sunglasses, you protect your eyes but with a hat, you can protect your whole face from basically burning off. 

Sunscreen

Very very very important peoples. I seriously hate getting sunburned. Like majorly hate it. I got sunburned when I went to the beach this pass spring break and my back did not look good for like a month and people seriously asked me what happened. It was not pretty. Make sure you have your sunscreen and keep applying it if you are outside on a sunny day for a long period of time! 

Mosquito repellent

Sometimes I feel like mosquitos love me and I kind of hate it. Like I have seriously gotten 10 bites on my foot alone before. Again it was not pretty. The last few days in Houston at least it has been super swampy and it has annoyed me to no end. If it is the same way with you then definitely get something that makes the evil creatures stay away. 

Shorts 

I pretty much only wear shorts during the summer because of a) they are easy to wear b) they don't make you hot and c) you can walk around in them. Pretty much they are the best thing during the summer time.  

Cold drink/fruit

Maybe some juice or ice tea and then some wonderful watermelon. These things number one wake you up and number two are delicious and last but not least number three just feel good when you eat them during the summer. I have seriously eaten more watermelon in the last few days then I have eaten like all year. 

Bag  

To carry all of this stuff though you need a bag.

And that is all for now! If you enjoyed make sure to follow my blog and comment down below the things you can not be without during the summer. :)

Winter Essentials

Winter is fast approaching and now it is time for some essentials. I am doing a blogger christmas with a couple of other bloggers where each week there is a theme and all bloggers participating makes a post with the theme. This weeks was winter/christmas go 2s which I decided translates into essentials. So let's get started!

A warm drink because who doesn't want something warm in the winter?

Decorations to get into the season. My mom is like the best decorator almost ever and she has made the house so pretty. 

A jacket and or adorable sweater. This is proably the most major essential. We want to stay warm people. 

Some adorable boots. I got these recently and I love them.

A good book to curl up on a couch and read on a windy night. I actually met the author of this book and got her to sign my copy. 

Some nice and big and comfy socks. My grandmother made these for me. She is very awesome. 

A good flannel shirt. I got one for my birthday from one of my amazing friends and I love it so much!

Some jewelry for all of the holidays this season. 

Hand sanitizer. This is the season where people get sick a lot. That means a lot of germs. I personally do not want to get sick and sanitizer helps that. 

Some kind of hair spray. My hair has a lot of thoughts about the different ways that it wants to die during the winter and hair spray helps. 

Some chap sticks. My lips get so chapped during the winter! 

Lots and lots of blue nail polish. Like what screams winter more than blue nails?

Fingerless gloves because like cute and functional. My grandmother made these for me last year. 

A big and nice headband. You guessed it, my grandmother also made me this. 

An adorable hat. I have had this thing forever and I still love it. The most cold enters your body through your head and your feet so keeping your head warm is very important in cold weather. 

A good scarf. True this is not really that warm but I love it. 

And finally some good leggings.

I hope you liked this post! If so comment down below what your winter essentials are and if I should do more of these posts. :)
