Five on Friday

It's hard to believe that it is already Friday! I feel like I was just writing Monday's post. One of the things that has stayed fairly consistent with my blogging over the years is my Five on Friday post. In these posts, I share five random things that are on my mind, whether is a pair of shoes, a book I've been reading, or a life update.

1. The number one thing that has been weighing on my mind this week is housing. I'm moving back home to Chicago from my house in Kentucky *sobs* in just a few short weeks, and then soon I'll be moving up to Wisconsin for law school. I have absolutely no idea where I will be living and don't know if I'll be living with roommates or not, so it has made the apartment search pretty difficult and overwhelming. I know once details start to fall in to place everything will be okay, but for now, I'm scouring the web for affordable and liveable places!

2. Becoming. I'm hoping to finish this book over the weekend because it's just that good. I've been chipping away at it every day this week and loving each chapter more than the last. Her career path is very similar to what I see myself pursuing in the future, so it's definitely relatable and inspirational. Next, on my reading list are two more non-fiction finds.

3. Taking a break from dip manicures. I've been getting gel manicures for the past two years and then switched to dip this past October and while I've loved having really thick shiny nails for the past eight months, I know it's taken quite the toll on my nails. I think I need to take a break from the manicures for a week or two and then switch back to my trusty gel!

4. Decluttering. This goes along with the moving point I made in #1, but I feel like I only wear half of my closet. I have tons of dresses lying around that I wore for one event and then keep around "just in case" even though I know I probably won't wear them again. I'm definitely going to work on clearing out my closet before I head home for the summer. I'm thinking of using Poshmark to get rid of some of my nicer pieces. Let me know how your experience has been if you've used Poshmark in the past!

5. I have a graduation party to attend this weekend and I picked up this dress at H&M to wear. It's going to be super hot out so I figured casual and comfy would be the way to go. I'm planning on dressing it up with some gold jewelry and snakeskin sandals!

I hope everyone has a great holiday weekend!

Rough Weeks

I had originally started writing this post with the title "rough days" but then that rough day I was having last week turned in to a rough 10 days. I know that this blog is still very new and there aren't many posts on it, but I think this post will help you get a much better look at who I really am. One of the biggest things that I am dealing with in my life right now is anxiety. I think a lot of times when people think of anxiety, they think of crippling anxiety that keeps you from leaving your room, public panic attacks, and skittish people. And sure, that might be anxiety for some people, but for me, it's like a flame. Think of your furnace in the winter. The pilot light is always on, but the furnace only goes on full blast every once in a while. That's what my anxiety is like. There are times throughout the day when I catch myself doing something or acting a certain way because I'm avoiding things that trigger my anxiety. Some days my anxiety is hard...

Everyday Essentials

I don't know what it is, but I'm always so curious to see what people carry in their purse. I don't know if it's just because I'm nosey, or because I love handbags, but either way, I always want to know! This backpack and pair of sunglasses were two of my main Christmas presents and I'm so obsessed with both of them. The backpack is a different style of my favorite tote bag , and I already know it's going to be an all-time fave. It holds all of the things I need with plenty of room for more. The sunglasses are ones that I had been eyeing for about a year and am so excited about them. They're my first pair of nice sunglasses and I've been wearing them almost every sunny day here at school! I love that the shape is a little different, but the color is classic and not very trendy.

Blue Light Glasses

I'm not sure if it's the 10 hours + a day I spend on the computer, or the extra 5 I spend on my phone, but my eyes have been tired recently. This was enough for me to look into blue light glasses and purchase a pair. Blue Light is the light from your computer that can strain your eyes and cause trouble falling and staying asleep. I purchased an  inexpensive pair  just to try them out, and so far I'm really enjoying them. I've forgotten to throw them in my bag a couple of times, and now always wish I had them because I've noticed a significant difference in how tired my eyes feel by two or three pm. So I want to know, have you tried blue light blocking glasses? If so which ones do you have and what do you think of them?
