I'm currently writing this from a hotel room in Pennsylvania; the glamorous life of social media!

It was a fast week and I can't believe September is next week! Fall is so close I could taste the Pumpkin Spice Lattes; we even got a taste of fall weather this week in NYC. It was glorious!

I am ready for fall clothes, drinks, food, and weather. I'm over the summer and ready for candles and cozy blankets. I am just so much more of myself in the fall!

Anyways, I don't really have much else to say because my mind is lost in Pennsylvania but here are the links for this week!

PS: I was published again on The Haute Mess. Check it out!

I am SO CLOSE to moving day!!! I can almost taste it!! We are a week & a half away from my own room, in a new, nice apartment. It's a good thing too because it's been super duper hot this week and I had to pull my mattress into my mom's room to sleep on the floor. Her room is air conditioned while the rest of my house is not (#fail #firstworldprobs).

It feels so close and so real, but at the same time it feels so far away.

In other news, I was published on The Haute Mess again -- but just a repost of one of my blogs on here. Still worth the read though!



Here's what I was loving this week:

• Beauty products that will keep you cool all summer long
• A Gilmore Girls subscription box? OMG
• Tech essentials every blogger needs!
• Beauty made in the USA!
• This article makes me want to try one of Sephora's free makeup classes
• I miss Taylor Swift as a country singer
• Um, as if I needed this article to tell me I'm neurotic 

I'm currently writing this while watching Rachael Ray, and laying in my mom's bed with the AC blasting-- I love summer Fridays.

It's the first day of July... how did that happen? And I'm OVER the summer. I've stated before that I hate the heat so much but this week was super hot and I realized just how much I hate it. Is it September yet? When does fall arrive? I need fall.

The good news is that it's finally July and it's finally moving month and I can't wait. Keep an eye out for lots of room tours/decorating posts once I'm there!

Also, something truly exciting! I'm now an ambassador for BeautyKind. I've shopped BeautyKind a lot over the past year and I love the concept. A portion of your purchase gets donated to the charity of your choice. They have a lot of great brands like Laura Geller, GlamGlow, Skyn Iceland, and more. Also, everything comes really nicely packaged and they send you a little gift with purchase whenever you shop, which I always love.

I've reviewed BeautyKind in the past so take a look.

With the code ROYALLYPINK, you can get $50 off a purchase of $75+ (um hello!) It's only good on your first purchase, but I highly recommend getting that GlamGlow mask you've been lusting after... trust me, you won't regret it.

Shop till you drop, everyone!

This week was also great because I was published AGAIN on The Haute Mess. Check out my article on preparing for your job interview!

• A Lisa Frank Adult Coloring Book? OMG

How is it the last week of June? How in the world is that happening right now? June definitely has been the fastest month so far, in my opinion.

We are halfway through 2016 and my mind is being blown. The year is flying by and so much has already changed...and so much is still changing.

My move got pushed forward a few days, which I'm not too thrilled about, but a few extra days isn't that bad. I am just so anxious to get in, decorate, and organize myself. I feel like I've been moving for 100 years... I just need it to happen.

This week was good for another reason: I got published on The Haute Mess! I've been obsessed with the website since it launched a few months back and it's basically a haven for all things girly & it was started by Ashley Tisdale so it's even better.

I'm a contributing writer for them now so you'll be seeing my name pop up more & more (hopefully!)

Check out my article on using social media to land you a job here.



Now for the links I loved...

• Jack Geller is all of us
• Luminizer is very important to me
• Please, I beg you, give me all the new beauty products
• Tinder may be for some people, but its not for me
• Sitcoms are WEIRD
• On again, off again-- do not judge them, it's complicated 
• I think I need to rewatch Mad Men
