Hi everyone!

As I type this, it's 11:10pm here in Georgia, but I thought I would update on how life has been.

CRAZY.

I changed my major from Forensic Chemistry to Criminal Justice this semester, quit my Charming Charlie job and got hired at Gymboree, joined a music fraternity (sorority), Sigma Alpha Iota, went to Florida to visit family for Spring Break, and now it's getting close to finals! 

I will try to put content on here weekly if I can, I need to brainstorm some ideas of some posts! 

If you have anything you would like to see, feel free to comment below and help me in my quest to make blogging a normal thing for me.

If you've stuck around, thanks! If you're new, welcome in! 

Have a good night everyone

I BOUGHT AN ENO! Review and pics!

Hey everyone! So, if you know anyone who's outdoorsy or if you go to college, you've most likely seen an Eno around. Enos are nylon hammocks that you can hang from pretty much anywhere! Some of my sorority sisters have them and I love them, so I bought one for myself! 

There are different kinds of Eno's you can buy. There's the Singlenest, which is 9'4" long and 4'7" wide. This one is more suitable for one person (obviously from the name!). There's also the Doublenest (the one I have!) that's 9'4" long and 6'2" wide. This one is more suitable for 2, or even 1 if you want more room! Or, if you want lots of room, there's also the DoubleDeluxe hammock which is 9'4" long and 8'4" wide! 

The hammocks even come in a convenient storage bag that is attached to the hammock so you can pack it up when you're done! It packs down super compact and very lightweight (the doublenest packed up weighs 19 oz!) The hammocks also have a 400lb capacity! 

The Eno's do not come with straps, as there are also a variety of straps you can choose from! I personally have the Atlas straps which are 9'1" long and have a lot more loops to hook your hammock into! These also have a weight limit of 400 lb (200 lb a strap!).

The Doublenest is $69.95, $10 more than the Singlenest, but you get more width and also more color options! The Atlas straps are also $29.95 but they are definitely worth it as you can put your hammock basically anywhere! 

REVIEW: 

I personally LOVE my Doublenest Eno! It's made of breathable nylon, so even on super hot days (like today), you still stay pretty cool! It's super easy to get in and out of and very comfortable! My mom has back issues and I got her to get in it today and she thought it was going to be really uncomfortable, but she was super comfy in it! I'm super glad I invested in this and I can't wait for the weather to be better next week when I go back to college from Spring Break and can hang my Eno up on the green and hang with my friends (literally!) 

Here are some pictures of my Eno and me in it! 

My hammock colors! I got the Retro Tri colored hammock! 

Packs up to about the size of a grapefruit, slightly bigger! 

The attached bag is in the colors of your hammock so it's super easy to
see how it is going to look! 

My Atlas Straps also come in a handy bag! 

This was earlier today in my Eno! It was about 79 degrees out with
an occasional 10 or so mph wind and I was nice and cool! 

Hammock selfie! 

So there you go! The Eno is definitely a great investment and if you like to camp or go outdoors, you can even camp in the Eno! They sell a ton of extra camping accessories for it as well! Their website is eaglesnestoutfittersinc.com! Also, if you live on a college campus with a ton of trees, they're awesome and a great way to study while being outside! You should see the Campus Green here at KSU when it's a nice day, Eno's EVERYWHERE! 

I'll have my April favorites video uploaded by the beginning of May, so be on the lookout for that later on this month! I might even post about how to survive college finals! Even though I'm a sophomore does not mean I'm any better at taking college finals! I might also do a Lilly Pulitzer haul since their new Target line is launching on the 19th and I will DEFINITELY be getting some stuff from that! 

Have a great week everyone!
