Hey there and happy Thursday! Thursdays always takes me by surprise because I only have class Tuesday/Thursday, so my weekend starts after classes on Thursday! Last week, Hurricane Michael threw just about all of Florida and the southern US for a loop with its sudden arrival and progression from a ‘tropical storm’ to a...
Hey, friends! I've been more into fashion lately with all these fun fall trends, so I wanted to share some great sale items from American Eagle and Old Navy. In case you missed them, I recently posted try-on haul videos from Shein and Marshall's (watch them here) and really liked the items I found....

You may have seen the first edition of ‘Coffee with Kristen’, featuring my lovely momma talking about her preparation for the Camino de Santiago. She recently returned from the Camino, and I wanted to give her the chance to share the stories and lessons she learned along 'the Way'....
Honestly, I think bloggers have superpowers. I’ve been blogging for over two years, and it still amazes me how bloggers/YouTubers/influencers can be full-time students (or work full-time jobs) and still be boss babes on the web. I’ve always had a reputation of “doing it all” and “having it all together” (ha, notice the quotes...
Hey there, friend! Yesterday I tried something new and filmed my first vlog. My friend encouraged me to try to film a ‘Day in My Life: College Senior’, so I gave it a go. I filmed a day in my life in college and showed you my classes, a college outfit, and a healthy...
