Why Spoiling Yourself Is So Fun

Here in the past couple of weeks, I have been working very hard, trying to lose weight, and make myself better. I wanted to go out with friends and noticed that I have NO clothes in my closet. I have spent so long working hard at my job, focusing on school, and working out among so many other things to notice that I have spent NO money on myself or new clothes to fit my new body with less weight.

When I came to this realization, I also realized something else: I have no clue what's in style, I don't know what's cute and that I have been living under a rock for as long as I can remember. I literally had not been paying any attention to any of the new styles, trends or anything else for so long. I haven't been able to afford any new clothes or spend any time on myself to make me feel good since high school. (I'm a junior in college.) So this made a change inside me for the better.

I went absolute declutter mode on my closet and life. I sold all of the old clothes in my closet that I didn't want anymore on top of unnecessary decorations that just made my tiny college apartment feel overwhelming. With this extra money, I got my hair and nails done. (I am a sucker for things like this. It made me feel AMAZING.) I then hit up the good ole Pinterest and literally typed in "2019 trends." I know this is kinda dumb, but I literally had no idea what is in style and what is cute. With my new Pinterest inspiration and the little bit of money I have accumulated from selling everything else, I went to my favorite online store and clicked sale and stocked up.

As my new goodies began to come in, I felt something I haven't felt in a long time. I cannot describe it, but the best I can do is say that I gave myself something I didn't know I needed or wanted. Now I know new clothes and stuff isn't necessary but it's something I wanted. I felt so out of place amongst my cool, stylish friends wearing my literally so old and dab clothes but I brushed it off to the point I didn't even know I felt that way.

So my advice to anyone that isn't feeling themselves: go shopping, get your nails done, get a spray tan, declutter. I promise it will help you so much, and it will be SO fun!

On the Upper East Side, Blair Waldorf is an icon. She's what every girl aspires to be. She's beautiful, confident, and can handle any obstacle that life throws at her. Sure, she may just be a television character. But for me, she's a role model and theres a lot that can be learned from Queen B.

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:

If you are like me, you have an interesting personality. Basically, you love to be sassy and snarky, gossip, and act like a total bitch (not really), but deep down, you are actually a very genuinely nice person. The idea of actually hurting someone truly makes you feel bad, and you probably have never actually hurt someone’s feelings because your kindness always shines through, even if you do not want it to. Not sure exactly what I would call this type of personality, but if you identify with it, here are some feelings you can undoubtedly relate to.
