Summer Night Out Survival

Week four of our summer survival series is here! It's been so much fun putting together these themed posts for you guys. As you know, I normally just keep my posts light and airy with little commentary, usually outfit related. These have been a bit more time intensive to develop, but it's nice to have different content for you guys than usual. Hope you are enjoying them! If you've missed any of the previous topics, you can read more about my beach and pool essentials here, summer olympics inspiration here, and the mother of all packing posts here. This week's post is all amount summer nights out!

Summer Travel Survival

Welcome to week 3 of the summer survival collaboration I have going on with four other amazing bloggers! You can catch yourself up on beach/pool survival here and Olympics inspired survival here. This week is all about travel survival! While this is technically a summer series, my travel tips are applicable year-round. There's really no way to share my thought process for packing without having a photo and word heavy post, so I will just get right to it! Oh, wait, before I begin--- if you're lucky, you were able to catch all of this in video form on Snapchat. I tried to export my snaps to my camera roll so I could just upload it to YouTube, but the formatting is all funky. I do still have the snaps though, so if there is any part of this you'd like to see in more detail, I can send you those particular snaps in a direct message! Just let me know in the comments.

Summer Olympics Survival

We are back with week 2 of our coast to coast summer survival series! I have teamed up with 4 other bloggers as we share our summer survival tips, tricks, and topics every Tuesday in August. I am representing the midwest, and in case you missed last week's theme, you can catch yourself up HERE! This week is all about the Summer Olympics! If you're anything like us, it's the only thing you've been watching since the opening ceremony on Friday night. It's really hard not to get completely sucked in and captivated by every event. Reality TV at its absolute best! Today, I thought I would cover three simple topics related to the Olympics: 1) Showing team spirit 2) Dressing like an Olympian and 3) Training like an Olympian.

Easy top knot + Beach/Pool Day Survival

So I am ending a series and starting a new series all in the same post! That may or may not be bad planning on my part, if I'm being honest. For some reason I was thinking I had 5 Tuesdays in July to work with, but since there were only four, that leaves this last post on the first Tuesday of August! It all kind of works out though because the last hair style of my series is the top knot, which subsequently is always the best for a beach/pool day! Let's get started with the tutorial first.
