Christmas is my favorite holiday. I love the music, decorations, food, gifts, and love. I love giving and getting gifts. Most of all of my relatives ask me what I want for christmas. I make a list every year. This year my list contains many things such as clothes, electronics, shoes, and ect. On Christmas Eve everyone comes to my house and my grandma cooks. We eat dinner then open gifts. After we clean up we get our coats on and watch Santa come by our street on the fire truck. Then we go back inside eat desert, do a yankee swap, and play LRC. When it starts to get late all of the kids get their pajamas on and I read them the night before christmas story. Then I go to bed and wait for Santa to come. My brother wakes me up in the morning and we open our stockings together. We are not allowed to open our gifts under the tree until my mom and dad wake up and we eat breakfast. After we open our gifts from Santa we go down stairs to my grandparents house and open our gifts from them. Then we organize our gifts and relax until dinner is ready. Sadly, after dinner the magical day is over.

Before you just start packing I suggest that you make a list. I would divide this list into 7 categories, shoes, tops, bottoms, accessories, cosmetics, bathing suits, and electronics. Before you start making your list you need to ask yourself some questions. Where are you going? What you will be doing? How long you will be there for? Then after you answer these question use them to help you figure out what things you should bring and how much of each item you should pack. For example, if I were going away to Cape Cod during the summer for 3 nights and going to the beach, mini golfing, and shopping my list would look something like this….

Tops:

2 athletic shirts

2 cute shirts

2 tank tops

3 pajama shirts

1 sweatshirt

Bottoms:

2 athletic shorts

2 jean shorts

3 pajama bottoms

1 jean skirt

Shoes:

Crocs

Birkenstocks

Sneakers

Accessories:

Socks

Underwear

Cosmetics:

Shampoo

Conditioner

Body Wash

Perfume

Hair brush

Elastics

Deodorant

Makeup

Hand cream

Bathing suits:

2 tops

2 bottoms

ELectronics:

Phone

Phone charger

Laptop

Laptop charger

Portable charger

 

This challenge is a great way to give yourself a wider variety of outfits to choose from and know what the item can go with before you purchase it. I use this challenge when I am shopping and trying to figure out which shirt or pair of jeans to buy. I also use this challenge when I do not know what to wear.  In this challenge you try to put three outfits together with an item you bought or rarely worn. After you figure out three outfits you can spice it up and start to add accessories. Then you will have three outfits to choose from. 

 

 

 

1. If you don’t have any closet space find some other storage space
2. Declutter (get rid of any clothes you do not want)
3. Store your most-used items at eye level, less-used items below, and least-used items up high
4. Combine storage units to fit your different needs: drawers for folded items, hangers for dresses, and small containers for accessories
5. Use boxes, cubbies, tiered shelves, or a hanging organizer to sort shoes
6. Add lights to be able to see what’s inside
7. Use stackable laundry baskets for easy sorting, that you can also carry to the washing machine
8. Add a wall mirror
9. If you have lots of jackets add some hooks
10. Color code to make everything easier

 

 

Crocs come in all different colors. They have mostly every color in the rainbow. They are super comfortable and easy to take on and off. They are also latex free. You can wear them all year round. In the winter I wear them with fuzzy socks which makes them even more comfortable. They are not expensive at all. The cost varys from $18.00-$50.00 depending on what style you want. Croc produces many types of shoes. There are the basic original Crocs, the fur lined Crocs, sandals, flip flops, flats, loafer, boots, and more. They have sizes for all ages. Many people wonder why they have holes in them. Well, the holes are for jibbitz. Jibbitz are small shoe charms for your Crocs. They are a great way to customize your Crocs. They are simple and easy to install. Just push through the holes on your favorite pair of Crocs and get an instant new look. They are sold individually and have every character, symbol, picture, and thing that you can think of. Crocs are super cute, fun, and comfortable shoes that you can have a lot of fun with.

Do you ever have days when you don’t have the effort to dress cute? Well there are still ways to look good without much effort at all. I call these days my comfy and casual days. Comfy joggers or leggings with a cute sweatshirt or tee and fuzzy socks with birkenstocks is the way to go. You’ll feel comfy and look cute at the same time! Sometimes you’ll feel so comfy you will feel like you are in your pajamas. All of us have lazy days and do not have the energy to try to look good. So use these items below when you feel lazy and have no energy but still want to look good.

Tops: Oversized sweaters, sweatshirts, tees, zip-ups, and flannels.

Bottoms: Joggers, leggings, and sweatpants.

Shoes & Socks: Moccasins, birkenstocks, and crocs.

 

Lululemon is a self-described yoga-inspired athletic apparel company for both women and men. Lululemon was created as a place where people could get gear to sweat in, form a community hub where people could learn and discuss the physical aspects of healthy living and mindfulness, and help people live a life of possibility. It also creates real relationships with guests and helps them understand what they are passionate about, how they like to sweat, and help them celebrate their goals. Lululemon was first designed and made for women to wear during yoga, but they received so much feedback from their guest that they decided to make more of it. I own multiple pairs of their leggings, many of their headbands, sweatshirts, shirts, and shorts. They are very expensive but they are totally worth it. There products come in all shapes and sizes. They are fit to fit your body perfectly. I highly recommend this store.

 

We all know that fall is the season for playing in leaves, apple picking, pumpkin carving, and halloween. But it is also the season for dressing super cute. Some cute things to wear are sweaters, jeans, leggings, converse, boots, and much more. I love fall because the color combinations are super cute. Below is a list of my top 5 outfit combinations.

Top 5 favorites:

1. Cute oversized sweaters with black ripped jeans and white high top converse.
2. A white tank top with a flannel, light blue ripped jeans, and boots.
3. A graphic tee with a jean skirt, a cardigan, and white Vans.
4. Cute baggy college sweatshirts with leggings, comfy long socks, & Birkenstocks.
5. A black tee shirt with dark green jeans and black Steve Madden slip-ons.

I highly recommend these outfits for the fall season. They are super cute and stylish. You can finds these items in stores or online at American Eagle, Hollister, Francesca’s, Express, Journeys, Pacsun, Forever 21, or Brandy Melville.
