TAG: "THANKS-A-BUNCH" TAG

December 28, 2014

Christmas DAY might have passed, but I think it's still time to spread the cheer before we dive headfirst into NYE or even Valentines Day. Technically, the Christmas season has just begun in the church. I'm not only still dreaming of my outfits and the great food I have on Christmas, but I'm still excited about my gifts. It's good to be thankful for the gifts you received. That's why I made up this tag (my first tag)! It's called the "Thanks-A-Bunch" tag, and here are the rules:


Hre are my top three favorite gifts I received on Christmas morning:


 1. Bean Boots!
I'm so thankful for these because I heard that they were backordered, so I'm thankful my mother went to the outlet to find these. I love that they tie any fall or winter outfit together. I will use it to trudge through the mud, rain, and snow on campus. My school is near the water and closer to sea level, so puddles are everywhere!


2. My Husband Pillow

I am SO thankful for this pillow! I hate leaning over my computer and ruining my posture, so this is a comfy and fashionable way to save my back. It adds to my new zen vibe in my room. I can just imagine lounging in this, with a few candles going, my lamp, and my space heater warming up the place.  I'll use it to lounge and go on my computer. I hate doing work at my desk.


3. Sentimental Gifts

Sometimes the cheapest gifts are the ones that make the best impressions. This framed picture of Jackie, this calendar with pictures of my parents and I, and my mother and I's matching bracelets will keep them with me while I'm at school and in Greece this spring break. I love these gifts because they're so thoughtful. I'll use them to fill my dorm with my loving family. 


Now for YOUR TURN! I tag:
1. YOU
2. Jacquie of My Confessions
3. Wendy of A Day In The Life On The Farm
4. Paige of Paige by Paige
5. Sharon of Paleo Fondue 
6. Cassie of Packages, Boxes, and Bags 
7. Yadira of The Two Riveras
8. Jessica of Beyoutiful Beauty
9. Jessica of Stumbling Along Through Life
10. Hannah of By Hannah Joy
11. Ana of Figuring Out My Ever After
12. Alayna of The Girl Who Does Everything
13. Alana of Adventure Spices
14. Richa of Let's Doll Up

I was nominated for a Leibster Award!

March 27, 2014

Hello all! Today I am eternally grateful. One of my internet friends, Carolyn from http://thediaryofatallgirl.blogspot.com/ nominated me for a Leibster award! It's basically a chance for all us smaller bloggers to help each other out. It's basically a "tag" and I was given some questions to answer! At the end of this post, I will be tagging some fellow small bloggers with some questions for them. Let's get down to business.
Questions I got from Carolyn:

1. When you aren't glues to your computer screen, where can we find you?

 You can probably guess, but probably running or at the gym. Or class or with friends. But other than when completely necessary, I'm glued to my computer screen.

2. Where did you get the best online deals?

 PLNDR.com, 10dollarmall.com, nomorerack.com, and Forever 21 in store and out of store. Or I just put in whatever I want on WaNeLo and find the cheapest one!

 3. Do you have a preference for what Internet browser you use? (Internet explorer, safari, etc)

 Is Internet explorer really an option here? I use Google Chrome and Google Chrome Only. 

4. Have you ever been to Disney? What's your favorite ride?

I have, but not since I was 6 unfortunately. My favorite ride was the rock 'n' roll roller coaster,and my least favorite one was the tower of terror. I actually cried after waiting in line for an hour and they told me "no crying on the tower of terror!"

 5. You get to have one exotic animal as a pet. Only one! What is it?

 A sloth! They're way too cute. 

 6. Is there a book you've read that's completely changed how you view some aspect of the world?
I've read all of John Green's books. I know everyone has, but they taught me a valuable lesson. Yes, every book has its separate lesson, but the one overall theme is the power that "kids" can have without parents. A lot of youth are looked over and not taken seriously, but John Green never leaves them out.

 7. What's one kind of candy you doubt you could live without?

 Reeses cups! Gotta have my peanut butter and chocolate.

 8. Have you ever considered vlogging (or do you already)? Or is blogging your only main platform?

 Yes! is do at http://www.youtube.com/ohaixnikay

 9. Are you excited for summer and the beach or are the winter 

 holidays and snow more your style?

 SUMMER AND THE BEACH! Well, I live in New england so I have to embrace all seasons, but given the choice I'd choose summer.

 10. If you could write/photograph/style/design for any magazine, which would it be?

 Ooo I like this question! Well, before I entered college I would've said write. I'd still love to have my own column some day, however I've been really into Graphic Design lately. I'm taking a class on it and it's really cool!

 11. What's one nail polish that you always fall back on, no matter the season or occasion?

 Essie's "naughty nautical" Because it's my actual favorite color and I always wear blue or colors that match it.
