I'm ashamed to say it's been almost six whole months since I've last posted on here. If you're still reading this, I love you for sticking by.

I have countless posts in my drafts at the moment. Over the months of getting acquainted at a new school and making new friends and keeping up grades, I've tried to write several different blog posts, but couldn't seem to make any of them good enough to post. I think I'll try to go make and fix them up after this.

I'll let you in on a little recap of my life over the past few months..

I started high school, so that's pretty cool. Nothing too much to talk about there. It's a lot easier than I expected it to be for some reason.

I've been practicing saving money and spending it only on the things I really want, and I highly recommend you to do the same. It's very rewarding. I buy mostly clothes and makeup with the money though, of course. Haha.

Another thing I really branched out in this year is my music taste. I've discovered I like basically every genre of music. And my favorite has to be indie folk. A couple months ago I didn't even know that was a type of music. If you want to hear some of my playlists here is my 8tracks and I'll definitely be updating it soon, because I haven't for quite a while.

I'm really getting into more high end makeup shopping and saving up to go on a shopping spree at Sephora every once in a while. I'll probably be doing a Christmas haul type post because of all the shopping I did this past week and with all the gifts I received. Would you guys like to see that?

Now it's already going to be 2015 in a couple of days..I almost can't believe it. This year has definitely been quite monumental for me.

This week I finally get to re-decorate my entire room! The excitement is almost unbearable, let me just say. I've been waiting a year and a half to do this and now it's all coming together. Pictures to come, for sure, my lovelies.

How were your holidays? Did you get any good presents?

Happy Holidays and a very Happy New Year! Good luck, muffins. <3

As you have noticed, I've been gone lately. But now it's summer. Finals are over, school is out, and I'm starting high school in less than three months. I've been thinking about that a lot - high school. I mean, how could you not? It's..everything. At least that's what everybody thinks about it.

A few weeks ago, one of my teachers explained that if we had one time in our life where we could start a completely new slate it would be right now. Here, most of the kids are going off to different schools. We'll be in new environments with totally new faces and challenges. No one will know us and we won't know them. So over the summer, we could completely change ourselves and basically restart our lives. That's a pretty big opportunity if you ask me. And I intend to take it.

So, this summer, I encourage you to take maybe a single small quality that you don't particularly like about yourself and attempt to change it. Who knows? It might make things a lot easier for you. It's nice to get a fresh start.

I've been absent lately from the blogosphere. I'll get right out and say it. It was all Veronica Roth's fault.

If you're not familiar with the Divergent trilogy, I'm here to tell you to get familiar with it.

A couple weeks ago (about two or three) I innocently picked up the Divergent book, not expecting much. But, boy, were my expectations low. This is one of the best books I've ever read. Possibly my favorite. It's not anything like the Hunger Games and I'm not really sure why people are saying that. The only similarity is that it's set in the future..seriously..that's it.

I'm almost done the third book, Allegiant, but I'm trying to read it slowly so I can savor every word. I really wish it never ended, to be honest.

I know what happens in the third book (I mean like the super big thing..if you read it, you know what I'm talking about). I saw spoilers on Tumblr before I even started the series, so. But that doesn't take away from the quality of my reading experience.

And if you know a thing or two about these books, you'll know they aren't short. To me, an ameatuer reader, they looked like the biggest things I've ever seen. All three books are 500+ pages. To read all of those in just a few short weeks is a pretty big feat for me.

I've also been busy with Camp NaNoWriMo, which is writing so give me a break. Hopefully, I'll have some more beauty posts in the future. I've been dressing up more for various things and trying out new products and such, so I'll definitely fill you guys in on that eventually.

Ciao for now, cuties!

Ah..the time for Camp Nano. I can practically smell it. The new Internet friends, the late nights, the thirsty writing, the sugar fueled fingers tapping away on the keys. It's all there.

I apologize for not blogging for almost two whole weeks. Everything in my life is coming  so fast and all of a sudden, I'm always busy. But I'll be blogging more this week, for sure!

That and I totally could have chosen blogging over binge watching The Fosters on Netflix, but whatever...Seriously though, that's a quality television show, let me just tell you. Actually the best show I think I've ever seen in my entire fourteen years.

As I'm telling you this, I'm listening to Callie Jacobs themed playlists on 8tracks with my brother's green Beats headphones. I'm also reading the latest Seventeen magazine, which is fabulous as always.

So, let me tell you some stuff about what I've been doing recently.

Play practice at school has been consuming quite a bit of my time. This year, we're putting on High School Musical. I have a total of one line that is..wait for it...two words. But I still have to go to all the practices and all that jazz. But it's pretty fun for the most part, actually.

I got third in my category at States for archery! It was my first tournament, so that's pretty good, if you ask me. I don't care what my place or score was, though. I felt really good that day and even if I came in last place, I would have been proud of myself. That being said, I've been practicing every day.

This Friday night, I'm going to an Ellie Goulding concert in Philly!! I'm super excited..it's actually gonna be my first concert if you don't count DigiTour back in October. I'll probably be going to the Lana Del Rey concert in May and I'm going to the One Direction concert in August, so that's pretty exciting too!

I've been compiling lists upon lists of makeup items and things that I need want. Hopefully, I can get my hands on a few of them soon. Some of them include the Tarte Amazonian Clay blushes and the Rimmel Stay Matte Foundation.

But let's get back to the Fosters. I'm so obsessed with that show, it's ridiculous. I've seen every episode almost twice and I just started on Sunday afternoon.

I've also discovered that I really want to get into photography and start playing the guitar (which is unusual because all my life I've watched people play guitar and it just looks so difficult, but I think I could do it..eventually.)

I have some blog posts planned that aren't just as boring and useless as this one. But in the meantime, leave me some comments! How have you been? Any big milestones or setbacks? I genuinely want to know, so hit me up in the comments!
