Kendra Scott Charity Event

I've come to the decision that instead of giving you long updates about my life in one scattered post, I'll just update you on the events individually! Yay, so first up... a much loved Kendra Scott Charity Event!

I'm currently the VP of the UNICEF club at my school. UNICEF's current fundraiser is raising money for the Nepal Earthquake victims. We wanted to help raise money, and I knew that Kendra Scott did lots of charity events, so we reached out to our local Kendra Scott. They were super sweet and told us that we could have a charity event at their store. On a certain day, for a two hour period, 20% of that Kendra Scott's store's proceeds would go to UNICEF! 

Unfortunately, there was a bit of commotion and time constraints with our school, so the event wasn't allowed to be done through the school, so we couldn't hang up posters through the school. However, we had the event done outside of school. It was a really fun event!

I bought a necklace for myself and a charm for a friend's graduation present. Since we didn't really get to advertise as much as we wanted, not a ton of people from our school showed up. However, there were lots of shoppers for a Tuesday night which was awesome! I'm always glad to shop at Kendra Scott (and help a good cause!).

Me, SS and AV
My necklace is Kendra Scott (the design is not available anymore)

Panera for dinner is always a good call

Here are the pieces that I got:
Mara Pendant Necklace
Love this!
This is the necklace I got for myself! I'm not sure if the color is exactly right as the pic I picked from the KS website, because my eyes aren't 100% sure, but I think this is the one! I love this delicate necklace and I wore it for the first time at work training yesterday. I love how it goes with everything and I think I'll be wearing it all the time from now on!


Goldstone Charm
How cute is this?
I was looking for a graduation present for my friend KP (more about her to come in my Prom post!). I really liked this charm and considered buying it for myself, but then I realized it'd really compliment her eyes! It was perfect. I just need to buy a necklace chain for her!



Rayne necklace
Wearing it for the first time!
So many compliments!

There was a raffle for this necklace that I loved, and I was lucky enough to win! I entered 5 times before the deadline and I was beyond delighted that I won! It's my favorite necklace and I was considering buying it, but good thing I didn't!

Kendra Scott is amazing on helping out with charity events, so if you ever want to do an event with them, reach out to them! And their jewelry is the cutest ever! Thanks Kendra!

I'm Back!


Sorry for the long long long absence! It's been a jam packed month between school, extracurriculars, AP exams, SAT and the ACT twice! I hope to be back for good!

Quick 5-Minute Recap about my life: Chaos! After stressing about my calc AP exam (which was today and I feel alright about!), and just trying to get through school, prom planning and all that jazz... I feel a lot better about life just with two of my AP exams done. Only 3 more to go!

Prom planning is very very very fun! Prom is almost here (and I still need to get my dress altered, shoes, and boutonniere for J! I'm very thankful that I didn't make the plans for my group, because as much as I love planning, planning a prom for 700 students is enough for me! :) We are getting catering from Daniel's at a friend's house and we are getting ghetto-looking (and cheap) party bus (with a stripper pole!). I'm getting ready with AV, SS and some other friends, and J and I are getting photos taken by A (who can't wait to meet J!). I can't wait!

Shot from my backyard on Earth Day
I've gotten three J.Crew items this week! I love online ordering; it's so exciting to wait for something to come in the mail, and see the item when the package finally comes!

My phone case came in first!
I've been needing a new phone case for so long.
I love it so much!

I love this men's flannel shirt.
So cozy and comfy!
Probably not the best for spring... but I can never say no to a flannel!

And finally... the necklace for prom!
I love it so much, and it turned out to be even better in person!
The best part about AP exams?! 50 minute lunches! (We typically have a 40 minute lunch... and this 50 minute lunch isn't fully enforced, so you can go a little bit over!) I only have morning exams, which means plenty of 50 minute lunches for me! :)

My favorite place with my favorite boy, J!
It's like the Subway for pizza- too good!

Cinco de Mayo at my fav fast-Mexican place: Chipotle!
Mexican is always much needed... especially after a calc exam!
I love love love fresh flowers! I saw my favorite flowers in Fresh Market and couldn't resist taking a snap:
Peonies are my favorite!
I sadly can't post any prom-prep photos yet, but I'll definitely post them after prom! (All of it: the set-up, buying the prom decorations for hours at AC Moore with J and our advisers, prom preparation, and lots of online orders!)

I also got my summer camp schedule today! I'm so excited to be working again at the best job ever this summer! I'm working 7 weeks (which I think is a lot, but a lot is great!). I'm really hoping that I'll be able to do everything I want this summer: from hanging out with friends, getting ready for college applications, and going on lots of adventures! (The bucket list coming soon!)

That's a quick (not so quick, sorry) recap on my past month or so! (I'm probably forgetting a ton of things, so that's the Sparknotes version!)

Lots of posts coming soon! (Slowly but surely, I promise!) Thanks for sticking with me! :)
