Classroom Must Haves
What are the teacher necessities that are actual classroom must haves? Well, if you look at Tiktok and Instagram, there are a lot of things teachers swear by. However, what do you really need? What are teachers (or former teachers) promoting that you don’t actually need? I’ve done posts on cleaning my classroom, and it’s been a while since I shared some other must haves for my classroom. I finished my fourth year of teaching this May, and I’ve tried a few things out…some worked and a lot didn’t work. Also, this post is not sponsored. These are all my opinions and I do not receive compensation from the links.…

Lemonade Date | May 2022
Y’all, it’s time for a little lemonade date. Lemonade dates are my version of a coffee date since I can’t have caffeine. This is a time for you and me to catch up! My last post was published on April 8th…whoopsie. I will say though, that these dresses are great for more than just Easter. So let’s get into this lemonade date. Things I’ve Accomplished this Year Finishing grad school and I walked the Lawn! Finished my 4th year of teaching. Applied to renew my teaching license and applied to add my Reading Specialist (and Master’s Degree) to my license. Focused more on my side hustle (check out my TPT…

Easter Dresses
Easter dresses are one of my favorite things to look for. For my family, Easter is pretty laid back (normally it’s a family meal). However, an Easter dress is *key* to a great day as far as I’m concerned. You could also pick this dress. There are so many choices out there! I have limited shopping choices now in my hometown, so I wanted to find things that you could get in time for Easter on April 17th. Easter Dresses Smocked Tiered Midi Dress (Nap Dress dupe) | A classic that you can wear for more than just Easter. It also comes in different patterns and colors. Eyelet Flutter-sleeve mini…

Sephora Sale Picks Spring 2022
The Sephora Sale is finally here to shop for everyone! I have a hard time buying makeup since I’m so pale; however, the Sephora sale includes everything in their inventory. Plus, with Sephora, if you have one nearby, you can order to pick it up or shipped to you for free! I am picking up what I can, but a few items have to be shipped due to availability. My Sephora Sale Picks Tula Resurfacing Toner | I’ve mentioned before how much I love Tula products. Getting them at a discount is HUGE. This is normally $42. Bare Minerals Complexion Rescue Tinted Moisturizer | This is a new product to…

My Gratitude List
Gratitude: the quality of being thankful. Wow, I will be the first person to say that I have not been thankful or even thinking of things to show gratitude for recently. But, I’m changing this. Since July, it’s been really hard. I had knee surgery that my recovery did not go as I expected. The doctor told me I wouldn’t be on crutches. I was on crutches for around a month. I wasn’t prepared and then that ended up making the start of my school year extremely difficult. However, I do have a lot of things to be grateful for, especially considering the current state of the world. I wrote…

Spring Outfits 2022
Spring is just around the bend and I love spring outfits! I will need someone to remind me that I do not have any vacations planned any time soon (and a graduation to plan for!). However, styling spring clothes is one of my absolute favorite things to do. I love styling different pieces to make them super versatile and pieces I can use over and over again. While I know I can eventually sell clothes, I also want to make sure that I get my money’s worth and that I use items multiple times. Spring Outfits Styled for You Martine Lileeze Dress ($228) paired with Havainas ‘You’ Flip Flop ($42)…

Baby Shower Gift Ideas
Oh baby! Baby shower gift ideas have been coming to me left and right. Maybe it’s because baby shower gifts are definitely something I love shopping for. They’re adorable and I know that some little baby is going to enjoy it! One thing I’ve noticed is that new moms and dads are putting certain things on their lists, and they’re typically things that they must needs. However, I like to think of the may need or something they might not have thought of (or wouldn’t ask for). It seems the majority of my friends are now either firmly in the seriously dating, married, or having kids section of life. This…

President’s Day Sales
President’s Day Sales are sometimes the best sales of the year. It’s always a good time to fill up your cart for new spring clothes. It’s also a time when you can find staple pieces for your closet. We all know that I like to think very realistically. At the end of the day, I’m not going out and buying designer items at full price every day-or even every year. I love a good sale or even just some extra cashback. Especially with the rising prices of subscriptions to Netflix and Amazon Prime (and well the rising cost of everything), I’m definitely going back through and checking what everything costs.…

Last Minute Valentine’s Day Plans
Oh, goodness-it’s time to make last minute Valentine’s Day plans! Every year, at least one holiday sneaks up on me. Most of the time, it’s Valentine’s Day. Honestly, it’s probably because I’m single so it’s not something I’m super focused on. I absolutely love the idea of Valentine’s Day. I think it is so sweet to have a day for your significant other. I also know that making plans can get pushed to the back burner because of being busy or whatever else is going on. However, I also believe that every day can be Valentine’s Day. Well, now that it’s the last minute. Let’s see what we can put…

What’s the Deal with Instagram?
Instagram’s algorithm is changing. We’ve all seen it. It’s just like every other social media site or app. It’s changing to keep people on their toes. Especially with the rise of influencers, social media apps are constantly changing the game. It’s frustrating. Pinterest has even changed its game. With Instagram changing, it might be pushing its users toward TikTok and other apps and platforms. Instagram Instagram is rewarding users that are constantly making reels and story-ing. They are rewarding people that are spending their lives on the app. If we’re being realistic, anyone who works a full-time job can only spend so much time on an app. It’s just not…
