What I Learned in 2020

And sarah's back after a long break!!! Jk, it wasn't really a break, I have just been really really bad about posting and I'm sorry!! While I know I've been slacking, I knew I couldn't just skip posting my favorite post of the year... sharing what I learned in 2020! This year I ended up reflecting on my previous posts and I'm kinda filled with nostalgia, but also I'm like, what the hell is my life??? lol.

Last year I talked about how 2019 was one of the worst years of my life and I truly thought 2020 was gonna be my year and..... let me just say this and I will state this again on this list: the most important thing that I learned this year is to never enter a new year with unrealistically high expectations and goals because you will be severely disappointed. Aka how I've been feeling since March, haha. But here we go!
  1. If you've been invited to something in an unfamiliar place, look up the address on Google and check the distance BEFORE you commit.
  2. I would rather have money to spend with friends and family than to go shopping. 
  3. Don't EVER go to a Great Clips anywhere in the Atlanta area.
  4. Eating raspberries make you hungry.
  5. Do not settle to live on the first/ground/bottom floor of an apartment complex if it's the only one left. Just find another place.
  6. You can't bleach clothes that are 100% polyester.
  7. Your sole goal will be wanting every race to be treated the same and will fight till it happens, and people will somehow discredit your feelings and turn it into something else that it's not.
  8. The media is full of sh*t.
  9. Don’t add greens to your smoothies if it’s not spinach or kale. It tastes gross.
  10. The car’s gas “door” will not open unless the car is unlocked and you will look like an idiot trying to open it at the gas station. (At least that's how it is for my car)
  11. Always pack extra shoes if it's raining.
  12. True professionalism only exists in job interviews.
  13. Apparently a pandemic can become a political issue.
  14. 30-minute recipes usually mean it will take 2 hours.
  15. Dating is more fun when you take it less seriously.
  16. Cutting your own bangs isn't as scary as it seems.
  17. Cars hate me.
  18. People in Atlanta don't know how to use their blinkers when they drive.
  19. Live life to the fullest. You never know if a pandemic will take over the world the next day and that night out you weren't excited for was going to be the last normal social event of the year.
  20. Taylor Swift has more talent in one of her toes than I do in my entire body.
  21. I learned how to change a flat tire.
  22. I also learned how to call AAA if I have car issues.
  23. Just because you move to a new city where you know of a lot of people doesn't mean those people will want to be friends with you.
  24. Sin is equal in God's eyes. If you've only done half a bad thing, you still did a bad thing.
  25. I probably need therapy.
  26. If you keep a small fan on 24/7 for almost a year straight without really ever turning it off, it will break.
  27. Sometimes you have to threaten people in order to just get a response.
  28. It is possible to get locked out of your home even if you have your keys.
  29. Putting yourself out there isn't as stressful as it seems. Just do it.
  30. Just because someone says they are Christian and close with their family does not mean they can't still be a garbage person and treat you like garbage.
  31. People will be in their late 20s-early 30s still starting drama. Ridiculous.
  32. As stated at the beginning, never enter a new year having unrealistic expectations and high hopes thinking that this year will be the best because you will probably jinx it and it could still be as bad or worse than previous years.
  33. But I learned it's always good to have a sense of humor about that sh*t that has happened because it makes it a little less painful and a little more entertaining!
I have no idea what 2021 will hold, but cheers to a new year!!!

Olly Undeniable Beauty HSN Vitamin Review (with before and after photos!)

I have always had pretty clear skin. If I ever had breakouts, which was more frequent in college, I was able to eventually pinpoint what exactly caused it, and it would usually be linked to stress or a certain food. And it was usually like 2-3 breakouts, so nothing like super crazy. The breakout would happen, I would freak out for a second (probably post a snapchat about it 🙊), and then my skin would go back to normal. But in the past 5ish months, my skin has changed. The breakouts have been more regular and my skin isn't as smooth as it used to be. I have been trying to figure out why because there hasn't been any significant change in the products I use or the food I eat. Like I was going to post an updated skin care routine and then my skin went crazy and I scrapped the idea (for now) . But I was open to using some kind of supplement that would help improve my skin and hair.  Well, mostly my skin, but I wasn't opposed to hair growth. The vitamins I originally want

New York City Guide: Taylor Swift Edition (With the walking path attached!)

-
Image
So my fiancé and I went to NYC during the weekend of the 1989 (Taylor's Version) release, so I thought it was only appropriate to plan a Taylor Swift-themed tour especially since 1989 has been referred to as the New York City album. Am I crazy? Yes. But was it fun? YES!!! I thought I could share our tour with you guys, if any Swifties ever want to do the same. And if you're going with a significant other who doesn't like Taylor Swift related activities, just lie and say you're going to some cool new spots to check out. I may or may not have done that. He may or may not have found out during the tour but it was too late to back out. Hehe 🙈 This is a walking guide and I made sure all the places were easy to navigate. I have two brain cells when it comes to directions, so if I can do it, you guys can do it too! 55 Franklin Street, New York, NY 10013 Significance: TS lived in the top floor condo. We started our tour in Tribeca. Super empty street, which makes sense why she

Easy 70s Halloween Costume

We made a girls trip to New Orleans and wanted to dress up for Halloween while we were there! But we didn't want to do anything super crazy or expensive, so we decided to go as hippies/70s girls. Or how most people will call it.... #BASIC. Where we got our stuff: Tie-dye shirts - Me and my friend Brandee went to Hobby Lobby and bought t-shirts and Tulip brand Tie Dye. Literally everything we bought was on sale and cheap, so highly suggest going to Hobby Lobby if you decide to make t-shirts! They also have 40% coupons on their website which works on pretty much anything that doesn't already have a discount. Glasses, Necklaces, Headbands - Ordered a set of four glasses, necklaces, and headbands from Amazon for $14.99 How we made the t-shirts: I might make a separate blog post on this because there are different ways to get the perfect tie-dye look and I'm still curious to find out how to get perfection because ours weren't perfect (close to perfect,
