GOOD MORNING AND HAPPY FRIDAY BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE!!
Today I have TONS to cover with y’all because I feel like so much information and stuff has been thrown on me in the past like 24 hours BUT I want to share it ALL with y’all!!
To begin with, I’m sure you guys are used to me posting to my blog later in the day… Honestly, so am I, and I am actually so stressed and writing this as quickly as possible as I wait at my ophthalmology appointment in the valley… Let’s just get this clear: This morning I had a 6:30 workout, ran home to shower and fix myself match, cleaned my room a lil bit {because my day can’t start until my bed is at least made}, grabbed stuff to change into for a spray tan appointment, and then JAMMED to the valley. My appointment is at 9:30 and I’m kinda worried I wont be able to write this {and maybe even drive home} once my eyes are dilated {lol}.
ANYWAYS - The reason why I have to post this so early today is I got invited to the 45th Saturn Awards which means the red carpet starts at 3:30 WHICH MEANS I have to have my eye appt, my spray tan, get ready {aka: figure out wtf I’m going to wear} and do my hair and makeup, and drive to Hollywood… I LITERALLY HAVE NO TIME!!
So… Let’s get started!!
TREND ALERT:
I’m sure y’all have noticed that one of the biggest late summer trends was the basket bags… You guessed it, I’m going to make this a click to shop post for you. I wanted to gather a couple of my FAVORITES for you guys and make it super easy for you to shop. You can thank me later.
Also, if you follow me on instagram, you probably noticed I posted two photos with those rattan // basket // wicker bags and I am OBSESSED!! A company by the name of Amerii reached out to me and let me choose a couple of my favorite styles… To say I am in love with them is an understatement {also, this was not a paid post for any of my fellow influencer gals who are thinking it… I do the same thing}.
Here are the two bags that I got if you’re interested in getting them too!! Again, all you have to do is click on the photo and you’ll be redirected {in a new window so you can come back to reading where you started}… You can thank me again later.
Now that you’ve had your fun and you’ve probably {hopefully} done some damage like I did, I want to get a lil more serious with you guys because it’s a topic that isn’t talked about enough and I think it is truly soooo very important
SUICIDE PREVENTION:
If y’all aren’t aware, this week was National Suicide Prevention Week. That being said, it ends tomorrow BUT it is a topic that should always and forever be spoken about as it is SOOOO important. This week has been dedicated as a time to share resources and stories, as well as promote suicide prevention awareness.
My friend, Ryan Jones, has taken it in his hands to honor Suicide Prevention Week and he released a TON of new apparel on his website. He will be donating $1 to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention for EVERY shirt sold.
Y’all, I swear these shirts are not only good looking {both for males and females} BUT they are also SOOOO affordable and he is making it so that you can help make a difference!! I’m not kidding when I tell you the “most expensive” tee is $22, and I am sure that up to this date, you all have probably collected up to $22 in change off of the street. Now is your chance to rummage up all those heads up pennies and anything else you have and buy a shirt to help spread awareness to suicide prevention!!
You can click on the screenshot of his insta below to get a better idea of who he is as a person and get a better idea of suicide prevention… He’s a pretty cool dude AND he’s even offering y’all 20% your purchase if you use the code “KeepFighting” at checkout!!
PROMO CODE: KEEPFIGHTING
LASTLY - Before I get going and start getting ready for the awards tonight, I wanted to share with y’all MY FIRST SPONSORED YOUTUBE VIDEO!! I’m sure {again, if you follow me on the gram}, you have seen that I teamed up with Persona Nutrition before. They are a personalized nutrition company developed by doctors and nutritionists to give you what your body needs. All you have to do is take a super quick quiz online {I swear, it takes less than five minutes} and they recommend a variety of vitamins that are specific to your body's necessities.
To learn more about it, watch my lil video about them… It’s my shortest video yet on YouTube {3 minutes}, and it will probably be the only video shorter than five minutes on my channel.
ALSO - Since were talking about YouTube, make sure you subscribe to my channel!! I have some VERY exciting videos coming up… I have my Connecticut vlog that I need to finish editing {fingers crossed it’s up by the end of the weekend}, I want to record a “Get Ready With Me” video for tonight so y’all can see how I do my hair and make up, I want to record a “Day in my Life” video on my birthday, etc.
If y’all made it through this post, I commend you… I truly appreciate all the love and support I have been getting on my posts lately and LOVE when I have people that I used to go to school with {or even people I don’t know} message me on insta OR connect with me through my blog. It means SOOOOO much to me!!
I love you ALL and I hope everybody has a FABULOUS {and safe} weekend!!
