August Mood Board – Living Life to the Fullest

August 5, 2018

YOU GUYS!!! Today is my birthday!!!

And a big one at that, yo girl is finally legal back in her home country! While you’re reading this I may or may not be out getting day drunk with my aunt and uncle or I may be organizing my brand new apartment that I literally moved into yesterday. All the adult things.

Since this is the last month of summer, my internship ends in two weeks, my best friend is flying in to visit, I start my senior year of college this month, and it’s my birthday month, I have one big intention for the month: live life to the fullest.

Since it’s my birthday month, and I can do whatever I want, I made this month’s mood board colors yellow and blue! A.k.a. my two favorite colors!

My intentions for August are to live life to the fullest, cherish every moment, and to stop being so hard on myself. Read more…

Conversations with Caitlyn | Vol. 4

July 22, 2018

Wow so much has happened since I wrote a proper chit chat post! My last proper one was back in December, although I did do monthly updates while I was abroad in Scotland. Those were purely study abroad related though. Time to get you all updated on my life since I’ve been back in the States and what’s coming up for my life and the blog!

Laryngitis

Anyone remember last year when I somehow came down with laryngitis the day before my birthday and had it for three months? And could barely talk for two weeks and couldn’t work for a few days because of it? Well, it’s back. But this time not nearly as severe.

I started losing my voice last Saturday, after having cold symptoms for three days. That Friday before my cold was so bad, my co-workers made me leave early in fear of getting sick. After getting worse Saturday, and scared they would send me home again, I went to a clinic Monday to find out what was wrong, and was told I had a small cold and laryngitis. But most importantly I am not contagious.

No word on why I keep losing my voice, though, but I’m really hoping it doesn’t become a yearly thing. Read more…

July Mood Board – All American Summer

July 1, 2018

This series is still new on my blog, and I’ve done it about two different ways. Breaking down my intentions and color meanings and listing the bucket list that inspired the photos and today we’re doing it another new way: breaking down each photo specifically and what it means for the upcoming month. Let me know which one you prefer so I know what you would rather read!!

This has to be one of the most cliche things I’ve ever done, but I made my July mood board’s color scheme red, white and blue. #Merica

I had thought about going with green, but my reasoning for that was because I planned on making a lot of money in July. So not the best reason. Instead, I (thankfully) decided to go for a more festive color scheme that coincided with the month of July. Fourth of July anyone?

I’m honestly not the biggest fan of Fourth of July (don’t enjoy fireworks), but I’m always accidentally wearing red, white and blue all the time. Don’t believe me? Check out my outfit post from Copenhagen. Ultimate American poster child right there.

But I digress!! Let’s get into the meanings behind the photos!
