Happy Summer Everyone!

Hey guys! I hope everyone is having a wonderful summer so far! Mine has definitely been busy, but it hasn't lacked in fun! 

I went on a road trip adventure with my friends, went on a sisterhood retreat with my music fraternity, had my 22nd birthday, worked lots (& even got a promotion!), and had a great 4th of July! 

Classes are gonna start back for the school districts in a few weeks which will give me a couple weeks before college classes start back up to do some last minute shopping without rushes! My cousin is joining me at KSU this semester & I'm super excited to show him around and get him to fall in love with the school like I have. 

I'm also gonna try to post weekly (I know I said that before, serious this time!) so if you have requests of posts you'd like to see, comment below! Tomorrow when I get home from work I'm gonna try to do a What's in my Purse with my Kavu bag I got for my birthday so I'll film the video and make the blog post and hopefully have that up by the weekend! I'll also be doing a What's in my Backpack for back to school and maybe a Back to School haul as well. I'm gonna try to get back into doing monthly favorite videos/posts too so be on the lookout for those as well as a possible OOTW for the first week of classes! 

Stick around because there's plenty of content to come your way! (I promise!) 

Have a lovely week everyone,

tyleralesia ❤️

Thanksgiving Break!

Hello everyone! 

Sorry I haven't updated in a while, school and work has kept me REALLY busy! This week is my Thanksgiving break from school and I am so glad that break is here! I still have schoolwork to do, but it's nice to just be able to chill for the most part for a few days. 

Tuesday night I'm going to see Moana with my friend Christina and I'm super stoked! I am soooo excited to see this movie! 

Thursday is Thanksgiving and my dad's niece and her family are coming down from Chicago for the weekend! I, of course, will be working Thanksgiving night (retail probs) but I have an amazing group of co-workers I will be with so I am super stoked. 

Next week when I come back from break will be the last week before finals so I will definitely be too busy to do any updates until after I finish my finals! 

I'll also try to do a Black Friday haul of whatever I can get this weekend in between working! 

I'm going to head to bed so I hope everyone has a wonderful week and a very happy Thanksgiving! 

****AND PLEASE REMEMBER: If you go shopping on Thanksgiving night for Black Friday deals, please don't be condescending to the workers by saying "poor you, having to work on Thanksgiving." You deciding to come out shopping and be away from YOUR family is part of the problem. I would love to be at home watching football with my dad, but because businesses want to make more money, I have to be at work on a holiday. So please be respectful of the retail workers you encounter and do not try and fight. The customer may always "be right," but sometimes you have to accept that you are, in fact, wrong. The workers know what is on sale, what's not, if you can use coupons, if coupons are expired, etc. PLEASE BE COURTEOUS.****

Okay, soapbox rant over! 

Have a wonderful week everyone!

Day in the Life: Saturday

Hi everyone! Sorry this post is pretty late, (at least it's not tomorrow already!) but you'll see why in my schedule from today! My schedule is a little different today from normal since my work needed me to come in early, but my Saturday schedule is about the same every week! So, here you go! 

Saturday: 

• 10:15-10:30am: Normally about the time I wake up on Saturday, I don't set an alarm!
• 11am: Start working on homework/school work that needs to be done (normally Biostat quizzes and World History discussion questions)
• 11:45am: Breakfast/lunch time! 
• 12pm: Hang out a bit before getting ready for work
• 1pm: Start getting ready for work
• 1:30pm: Leave for work
• 2-9:30pm: My shift for today! (normally I work 4-9:30 but we were short someone today!)
• 9:15-9:30pm: Sometimes we get out a little early so I either head to get food or head home to make dinner
• 9:45pm: Eat/make dinner
• 11:30pm-12am: I usually go to bed the same time frame every night! 

There you go! Tomorrow's is going to be a little different from what it was going to be. I was supposed to work 9-2pm tomorrow but they changed it to 11-4pm since we are starting to open back at our normal time (summer hours are over) and we had a change in opening manager! So, I will try and get my Sunday post done before I head to work, but if not, it will be up tomorrow night! 

I've got some studying to do so I will talk to you guys tomorrow!

Day in the Life: Friday

LONG TIME NO TALK

OMG, It has been over a YEAR since my last blog post! That's crazy! 

Granted, my life hasn't really been anything to blog about and I haven't had time between school, work, and sorority to sit down and review anything or do a favorites post or anything, but I'm going to try and do at least 1 post a month for the rest of the year!

My classes are getting harder going into my fourth year of college, so hopefully I can find some time to sit down and write a blog post!

P.S- My Pura Vida code changed if anyone wants 20% off their order! (TYLERSTOREY20)

Hopefully I can do a post next month about my sorority's recruitment and being on the outside of all the planning (I'm LOA this semester to not stress me out with my course load) and tell you all about the awesome new girls we'll be gaining!

So, keep checking back and I promise to not be MIA!

Have a wonderful week!

UPDATE + MY 20TH BIRTHDAY!

Hey everyone! I know I have been super MIA, but honestly, I haven't really thought of anything to blog about! So, I figured I'd just give you a little update on what I've been doing and also a little tidbit about my birthday tomorrow!

I've mainly been working, watching Netflix, watching YouTube vloggers, and going to orientation at my college to introduce freshmen and transfer students to Omega Phi Alpha! 

And tomorrow, June 24th, is my 20th birthday! My day is gonna be pretty fun, I'm gonna have french toast for breakfast, go to orientation at my college and tell a bunch of girls about Omega Phi Alpha, then go get lunch and see Inside Out with one of my best friends, then come home and have dinner with my family! 

Saturday I'm having a party with some of my friends and I'm having a taco bar! I might make a post all about it and I'm planning on doing a June haul since I've gotten a lot of stuff so far, and I'm gonna include my birthday presents as well! 

Hope you guys are still sticking around with me and I might update you tomorrow about my birthday or maybe on Sunday after my party! 

Have a great week everyone!

Busy busy life!

YOU GUYS! Life has been so crazy recently! 

School is hectic. I'm on Spring Break right now (one of the last few schools in the country!) and then I've only got 2 and a half weeks before finals. (AHHH.) My sorority has been doing a lot of events and service projects recently and those have kept me busy as well! Also, work is also another thing keeping me busy as well! Sometimes I think I'll have time for something, but really I won't! 

I'm planning on doing an April favorites video (I've already started my list!) so be on the lookout for that at the end of the month! 

I promise, once school is out, I will be posting more!

Have a good week guys! 

♥♥ tyleralesia

Back to School!

Hey everyone! 

I recently started back up at college for my spring semester! This semester is gonna KICK MY BUTT! I've got some pretty hard classes going on so I probably won't be on as much as I'll also have work and sorority stuff to do! 

Here's my schedule for this semester!

• MWF: Gen Chem 2, 9-9:50 am
• MWF: Calc 2, 11-12:10 pm
• MW: World Lit, 3:30-4:45 pm
• T/TR: Criminal Investigations, 12:30-1:45 pm
• T/TR: Chorale, 2-3:15 pm
• Thursday only: Gen Chem 2 Lab, 5-7:45 pm

So yeah! As you can see, it's getting a little harder since I'm getting more into my classes for my major (Forensic Chemistry) so I'm probably not going to be on here much this semester and for that I do apologize! 

Hope you all have a good week!

Christmas presents haul!

Hey everyone! So this is gonna be a little haul on what I've bought myself for Christmas and for working so hard this past year through school, work, and my sorority! 

First thing I bought was actually on Christmas around 10pm at night. My paycheck went in early, as it normally does, and I decided to get myself a monogram necklace! I was thinking of getting an acrylic one from Knot Just Bracelets on Etsy. As I was thinking about it, I decided a silver one would look better and would go with more than an acrylic one. So, I found one from another store on Etsy that wasn't too expensive! 

photo from Nurjeweldesign on Etsy

That picture is an example one of the silver 2 inch monogram necklace I'll be getting soon! Once I get it, I'll make a post about it!

The second thing I got was my Julep box for January! If any of you don't know what Julep is, it's a nail polish/other beauty products brand and they have monthly subscription boxes that you can either get sent to you, a friend, or you can skip if you don't have the money that month! I haven't gotten a Julep box in FOREVER, but when I saw that there was a box that had the plié wand in it, I was SOLD! I also had enough points to get the plié wand creativity kit which includes extra tools for the plié wand! I will also make a new post about that once that comes in! 

Next, today I went to the outlet mall near my house! The first thing I got was a shirt from Zumiez, which, if you don't know what that is, it's like a skate brand store. I bought this shirt from Empyre there for $20! 

I thought it was super cute with the elephant on it and I am currently obsessed with the color on top, the wine/burgundy color!

Lastly, I went to the Kate Spade store to find a purse I had been wanting for a while! The store was 60% off! While they didn't have the one I wanted, they did have the same style but in black (I had wanted the one in hot pink!) So, I got it! It was originally $85 and with the 60% off, it was $34!! I am in LOVE with it and I am so happy that I got it! 

my snapchat to my friends after I got my purse! 

My Jeralyn bag!

IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL.

My Jeralyn bag is black with black polka dots and the spades interspersed into the bag, with a hot pink inside liner that says 'Kate Spade New York' all over it! It's soooooo cute!

So, those are the gifts I bought myself for Christmas! I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas week and I hope you all have a Happy New Year if I don't post before then!

OOTW: Day 6... I forgot.

So, today (the 26th) was super busy for me! I woke up, got ready, went to Walmart and Dollar Tree to get some things for my coworkers for Christmas gifts, went home, made their little bags really quickly, stopped and got some food, and then went to work.

I then came home and, as always, immediately changed out of my work clothes. So, as I was sitting and watching Frozen a bit ago, I remembered that I had not done my OOTD picture. Woops.

Here's a little idea of what I was wearing though!

• black long sweater from Target
• black leggings
• a pink rose and pearl necklace from work 
• my gold watch from work
• my new brown boots I got for Christmas from Payless
• my gold earrings from Target from a couple OOTD's ago

Here's a picture of my boots and necklace from the Payless and Charming Charlie websites!

York Riding Boots- Payless

Petals and Pearls necklace- Charming Charlie

I promise to do an OOTD today technically (the 27th) as I'll be out shopping! I might even do a little mini haul! 

Have a good rest of your week everyone!

OOTW: Day 4, Christmas Eve!

Hey everyone! I know I'm posting this a day late, but yesterday was super busy for me! I had work from 1 to 7 and then came home and helped make cupcakes to bring to my sister's friend's house for her daughter Haley's birthday and so we could exchange presents! So, I actually had 2 different outfits for Christmas Eve, my work outfit and then the outfit for the present exchange at my sister's friend's! 

Here's what I wore to work! 

Shirt: Old Navy/ Leggings & Cardigan: Walmart/ Boots: Payless/
Watch & Necklace: Charming Charlie 

Bow: BowsDownSouth/ Santa Earrings (that you can't see): My mom's/
Lipstick: Covergirl Outlast Lip Color #507 

And here's what I wore to exchange gifts with my sister's friend and her family!

Bow, Earrings, Watch, & Necklace all same/ Cardigan: Gap Outlet/ Cami: Justice/
Jeans: Delia's/ Flats: Life Style

And there's my Christmas Eve OOTD's! Stay tuned for my Christmas Day post as well as a 'What I Got for Christmas' post! 

Hope everyone had a good Christmas (if you celebrate) and a good day in general if you don't!

OOTW: Day 3!

Hey everyone! 

Today (Dec. 23) was day 8 of 9 straight days of work for me and it was a rainy, cold day so I went with something comfortable yet cute! Again, most of my outfit is from Charming Charlie!

Earrings: Target

Gold leaf ring: Charming Charlie/ Silver & black Claddagh: Kiosk in DC
(Also wearing my class ring, but that's on the other hand!)

Cardigan: Walmart/ Top: Charming Charlie/ Leggings: Walmart/ Boots: Payless/
Locket: My  mom's locket with my grandparents pictures/
Watch (you can't see): Charming Charlie

So, that was my outfit for day 3 of Christmas week! I'll be back tomorrow (today) with a much more festive OOTD because it's CHRISTMAS EVE!!!! 

If you celebrate Christmas, Merry Christmas Eve! If not, have a great day :)

OOTW Day 2! (cause I forgot day 1!)

Hey everyone! 

I am a super slacker and forgot to do Day 1 of my Christmas OOTW series! But my outfit was pretty boring for work anyways so it's okay! :)

But, I did remember to do today's OOTW picture so I'll post those here and give you all the details on what I wore!

Sweater: Charming Charlie/ Black Jeggings: Walmart/ Boots: Payless

Watch and Earrings: Charming Charlie

OOTD Pic! 

As you can see, today I went to work and most of the stuff I wore came from my work, Charming Charlie! I'll try to wear something cute again to work tomorrow so you can see some more cute accessories! I'll also try to remember to do this again tomorrow! :) 

Have a good day everyone and I'll be back tomorrow (well technically today) with another post!

I'm a horrible procrastinator...

But I've been super busy with work so... I think it's okay! I did not do a June favorites because I COMPLETELY forgot about it! 

I will, however, be doing a July favorites and also probably a back to school haul sometime at the end of August and also a post about my sorority retreat coming up soon as well! And maybe a post about my mom's birthday party my sister and I are planning! 

Sorry! I promise I haven't forgotten about you guys!

Quick Life Update

Life. School, work, sorority. It's been a crazy couple of months! We lost about two weeks of classes because of the Atlanta Snowpocalypses (snowpocali?), and then work and sorority things have been crazy. 

So, update! On March 29th, I will be heading down with my friends Ashleigh, Meredith, and Ashleigh's sister Haleigh, along with Ash and Haleigh's mom and grandma to PANAMA CITY BEACH for SPRING BREAK! :D This is the first time I have been on vacation for Spring Break since I was 8 and went to Disney World and Seaworld with my family! 

We are staying at the BEAUTIFUL Shores Of Panama! Here's some pics!

I am seriously SOOOOOOOO excited and I cannot wait for Spring Break to get here! 

Work is still going great and I'm super happy to be surrounded by gorgeous jewelry and clothes all the time! (In case any of you didn't know, I work at Charming Charlie!)

Sorority life is great and I'm super excited for next semester! I want to take a little so I'm already planning crafting ideas and such! My big transferred to another college for nursing but I still talk to her a lot! Her Spring Break is this upcoming week so she's coming to chapter on Sunday and I'm SOOOO excited to see her! I haven't seen her in almost a month! 

Well, I'm gonna finish watching my shows! Hope everyone is doing well and I hope you all have a good day!
