Over? So Soon?

I graduate on the 26th. Like, I am done all my formal education….bye elementary school, middle school, high school, and now college. Personally, I feel like where my career is (hopefully) headed, I don't need graduate school quite yet. So that means, I'm done.

I'm done.

W.T.F.

I am writing this at 2am so I can schedule it because I still find it so important to stick to a schedule. I have less than 2 weeks and the amount of work I have to finish, is insane. And I have to pack up my apartment? And apply for jobs? And accept that my sister won't be attending my graduation? I think that is the hardest part of all of this. But I know, it is for her best. My best is that I finished these four insane years and her best is now in high school, doing a sport she loves (and is actually really good at). So Colton, I don't even know if you read these, but I seriously want you to kick some butt at your crew races that weekend. Row harder, sweat a bit more and beat that competition. And I think as I have grown up, I have realized just how much she has missed for my sake. I even feel bad that my parents are missing her races for my graduation. Obviously, they want to be here for this because it is college graduation but I can't help I am taking our parents away from something that is important to her.

I'm sorry this is so sappy.

I'm tired. I have stopped eating bread and drinking diet coke (I know what the actual eff, who am I?) in hopes of really getting my health back to where I want it. Ok, done with this weirdly long blogpost about my sister.

I still can't believe graduation is like soon. Like really soon. Is quarter life crisis a thing? Because I this is insane, I'm stressed but excited and confused all at the same time. I think once I find a job and really breathe after these weeks, I will be back to myself. Let's hope.

I am excited to graduate but I have never felt so stressed and tired in my life.

Hope your week is going better than mine!

XOXO -M.S.

Chill Saturday Night In

College is awesome. A time to go out, meet people, hit up the bars but somedays, you just need a relaxing night in. And that is just what I did this past Saturday. If you ever want a relaxing night in, just check out this blogpost for some ideas!

My skin has been acting up a lot lately as I have been working out more and eating healthier (my body is in complete shock to be truthful) so I decided to have a makeup free night and treat myself a bit. I first started with a Facial Clay Mask in Avocado and Oatmeal.

Put it on a damp face, wait of for it to dry and harden, then wash off with warm water. Pat dry.

These were all the products I used during the night on my face. The Freeman's Facial Clay Mask Avocado and Oatmeal Mask. After my face was pat dried, I put my SeaRX Birchsap Moisturizing Cream, which I received in my November Ipsy bag and I love! Throughout the night, if my skin felt a bit dry, I applied my All Day Moisture Lotion, in the CVS brand, but it is just like the Olay lotion. To keep those lips moist all night, I used my Wet n Wild Juicy Lip Balm. My hair always loves to get in my face on relaxing nights in, so I tied it back with a simple scrunch!

Since giving up soda, I have gotten back on my teeth whitening regiment aka putting these strips on my teeth for 30 minutes once a day. The Crest 3D Whitestrips with Advanced Seal are a tad expensive but these are the best I found that are worth the money!

After taking care of my skin and teeth, I decided to do a bit of baking. These were so easy to make! Each packet of Betty Crocker's Chocolate Chip Muffin Mix make about 6 muffins and costs around $1.50 so I bought two packets and went to work.

In a large mixing bowl, I put both packets in and since each packet called for 1/2 cup of water, I put in 1 cup of water and mixed! Yummmmy.

After greasing up the pan, I filled up each up about halfway and popped them in oven at 350F for 20 minutes.

Of course, while they were baking, the ever important BuzzFeed quizzes took over. So much fun on a relaxing night in.

20 minutes and bam, the delicious muffins were done and looking delicious.

Before settling in for the night, I made a cuppa which of course I use Lipton Black Tea, a bit of Domino Sugar and Skim Milk. 

That is the end of my relaxing night in! Some facials, moisturizing, whitening, baking muffins, tea all happened and it all ended with a marathon of Gossip Girl, starting with the Season 1 Episode 1. I hope you enjoyed this bit different of a blogpost. It was certainly a lovely night in, as much as I love going out and hanging with friends, sometimes a cozy night in on a snowy fall day is all you need.

I also did my nails, well my roommate did my nails, so be sure to follow my blog to see this week's Nail Varnish of the Week!

XOXO -M.S.
