I recently found some FUN fur coats & a vest at 
Forever 21 
They have a wide variety & at such a good price. 
Perfect for the Winter Season! 

My new fun find is Eva's Cafe in downtown Salt Lake. They have all you want from baked goods to coffee. You can sit down for a full breakfast & lunch menu or grab something yummy on the go! It is the cutest little place & it's delicious! Give it a try!

A MUST HAVE FOR WINTER:

You also need your hot chocolate fix during the Winter. 
My Favorites:
STARBUCKS: Salted Carmel Hot Chocolate or Chia Tea
(it literally tastes like Christmas)
SWIG: If you live in Utah, this is the place to go for yummy hot chocolate with any type of flavoring you can think of. A dirty hot chocolate is my favorite.
Hot cocoa with coconut syrup. woah.
THE COCOA BEAN: Also a Utah or Idaho favorite. They have several different flavors and types of warm, delicious drinks you can get...as well as a cupcake to go with it. 

The air is starting to change & November is suddenly showing true signs of WINTER. It's time to bring those big coats, beanies, & boots out of the closet &  bundle up! Be sure to check back on the blog for some fun winter fashion ideas! I'll be posting them soon! :)

Fall. 
A time for carving pumpkins.
A time to eat and drink everything with pumpkin in it. 
A time for sweaters and scarfs. 
I love this season.

A small bit--- if you are anything like me, you love eyebrows! I never realized how much eyebrows can make a difference until I got them done by Alanna Uasike. She is AMAZING you guys! Getting your brows done by her will give you a whole new look that you will love. She is located in Orem, Utah at Platinum Studios. Book with her at www.styleseat.com/alanna... you won't regret it. 


It's that Time of Year. A new school year, a fresh new start, and a new apartment :) Check out my fun bedroom finds & create something NEW for you!
                                          
-Gray Bed Spread and 2 Shams: Target ($90)
-Decorative Pillows: TJ Maxx ($20 a piece) ... I also got a tempurpedic pillow to sleep on and I definitely recommend it...it's heaven.  
-Jersey Brand Yellow Sheets: Target 
-Red Arrow Board: ($45) We found this at Swiss Days in Heber, Utah, but it came from a company called SaltyBison. They have the cutest decor! Follow them on Instagram! 

I also found a great 5 drawer dresser for $100 at Home Again near Salt Lake City, Utah. Most of the other finds for the bedroom such as hangers, bins, shoe racks, etc., were found at Target....gotta love Target:) ... 

Put together a room and a home that is comfortable, clean, and something you want to come home to. It can make a huge difference in how productive you are and how you feel.

My MUST haves for the SUMMER. 
Like I mentioned before, I love everything about this fun & happy season... and its not over yet! Here are a few of my favorites from this year that you still have time to try! 
Picnics:
All you need is a blanket, a basket full of your favorite food, a friend to share it with, and a tree to sit under. enough said. 

High Waisted Swimsuits:
I love finding new swimwear for the season, and I am all about feeling comfortable and cute. Check out etsy.com, jcrew.com, and forever21.com to find your favorite.

Veggie/Fruit Juices:
This Summer, some new juice places came to Utah and I fell in love with them. These are all natural, no added sugar, and they leave you feeling healthy and satisfied. Not all of them are delicious, so try to stick to ones that have both vegetables AND fruit. One juice can give you all of the fruit and vegetable servings you need in one day. Some juicery's in the Provo area are MEND JUICERY and AUBERGINE & COMPANY. 


New Cafes/Restaurants:
I'm a big foodie! Get dressed up, get out of the house, and go try something new. If you live in the Provo, Utah area be sure to check out MAMACITAS, BOMBAY HOUSE, & PIZZERIA 712. There are several more, but these are a few of my favorites. MMmmmm. 

Hikes:
Wherever you live, try to get out and explore the nature around you. I find it to be therapeutic and just what I need for the day. Some favorites around the Utah Valley area are:
SPANISH FORK CANYON- it is about an hour hike each way and there are some fun hot pots at the top! 
SILVER LAKES- this hike is up the American Fork Canyon. It is absolutely beautiful and it takes about an hour to reach the top. Be sure to jump in the lake once you get to the top and cool off! :) This hike is a lot of fun, and if it is not one you are interested in, there are several more up the American Fork Canyon to choose from! 
You can find more information about these hikes if you type them into google-directions, level of difficulty, etc. 

Bike Rides:
I try to ride my bike as much as I can! Just try to be outside as much as possible! Ride your bike, go on jogs, go swimming... soak up that sun. If you don't have a bike and live in the Provo area, hit up PROVO BEACH RESORT and you can rent a bike for just $7 an hour:) 

Happy Summer Everyone! 

First things first... make your own HAPPINESS book. What are some of those things that inspire you & make you smile. What are you Grateful for? Start your list. Here are a few of mine: 

1. Oldies 
There is something about old people that melts my heart. and when I see them holding hands... I lose it. 

2. Live Music 
There are few things I love more than this art. Hearing someone play live music on the streets and sing.. mmm.. now that's my happy place. 

3. Summer Time 
Picnics, camping, riding bikes, warm nights.. whats not to love about this season? My list could go on and on. 

4. My Family 
Nothing makes me happier. 
5. Pure Laughter
Those moments when you laugh so hard your belly hurts. I love that. 

6. Service 
Witnessing someone giving service reminds me to slow down and be more aware of everything and everyone around me. It helps me simplify. 

7. Dance 
I have been dancing since I was 4 years old. It has shaped me into the person I am today and has inspired me in so many ways. Taking a dance class, performing with my team, or simply turning on music and dancing as I wish..makes me very happy.
