It sucks. It's wonderful. It's terrifying. It's overwhelming. It's a million and one things at the same time.<br />
<br />
When you're in college, you automatically assume if you work hard enough and get your degree and put yourself out there, you'll have a decent job in your field when you leave school. Not so. It's hard to find a full time job that will also give you health benefits, no matter how skilled you are. While I'm thankful for the jobs I do have, I know I'm meant for more and I can't wait to be in a position that will actually use my degree and all the creative energy inside of me.<br />
<br />
Anywho, I decided to put together an ensemble I'd never worn before. I was remembering how in high school the only thing I would ever wear is skinny jeans and a graphic tee. So, I decided to revisit that style, only with a [hopefully] more sophisticated twist. (Confession, I took these pictures a couple weeks ago but have been too busy to post them. :/ Sorry.)<br />

I authentically love this stuff and wanted to share how it has helped me.<br />
<br />
Ok then. Now, I recently saw <a href="http://www.mythirtyspot.com/2011/09/20-uses-for-vaseline-girls-best-friend.html">an article</a> on Vaseline (or Petroleum Jelly, whatever floats your boat) and all the wonderful things it can do for you. Some of them I already knew. Like, putting it on your hands and feet and covering them overnight will make them softer. Others, I was skeptical of. So, like the great scientist my 12 year old self aspired to be, I did my own experimenting with it, and my sister joined in on it. We haven't gotten around to testing <i>all</i> of them yet, because some of them we have no interest in, but there are quite a few we did test and not all of them will make this blog post, mostly because we won't end up using all of them on a regular basis.<br />
<br />
First one we tried: <b>Vaseline makes your eyelashes grow.</b> My sister smothered her eyelashes with this stuff with her finger and I used an old mascara brush that I cleaned off and applied Vaseline to. Olivia's lashes ended up thicker but the same length as they originally were and mine grew longer but retained their original thickness. So even though we both had different results, our lashes ended up better than they were before.<br />
<br />
Second one we tried: <b>Helps your scent stick around.</b> Olivia tried this one, and she said her perfume definitely stayed with her longer.<br />
<br />
Third: <b>To remove last night's makeup.</b> This does work. But let me warn you, if you take off your makeup with Vaseline and then try to redo your makeup afterwards, make sure you use a tissue to wipe off <i>all</i> of the Vaseline or else the new makeup you just put on will start sliding off. ;)<br />
<br />
P.s. It removes lipstick really well too.<br />
<br />
Fourth: <b>Hide split ends.</b> While this doesn't fix the problem of split ends (and it never claimed to do so) it does mask the problem. Which is great because I have a lot of them and when I straighten my hair, you can see them. Not any more! But when you do apply it to your dead ends, don't glob it on or else you will look like you haven't showered in a month!<br />
<br />
Fifth: <b>Lubricates ear lobes and helps make earring insertion easy and painless.</b> My sister's ear lobes are sensitive to certain kinds of metals, so she wanted to see if putting Vaseline on the earrings would help because then she could buy any earrings she wanted. She was super happy that her ears weren't irritated by the metal with the Vaseline on it!<br />
<br />
The article also said that Vaseline doesn't clog pores, and so I've been using it all over my face to keep it soft and so far no places I've put it have broken out with acne.<br />
<br />
Our next one we are going to put to the test is putting Vaseline on the edges of the pumpkins we carve to make them last longer. I hope it works!<br />

Let me rephrase that. Penn State football is kind of big in my house. So, this year my parents, brother, and I went to Penn State's season opener. The game was played at MetLife stadium where the Jets play and it was my first experience tailgating at a football game. We ate yummy treats, talked about life, and avoided getting beer dumped on us by drunk people (which almost happened several times), although my shoes weren't so lucky.<br />
<br />
The game itself was exciting! It was only my second time at a Penn State game so I relished each second of it. I don't know if we spent more time watching the game standing up and cheering or sitting in our seats.<br />

Even though the days are getting cooler, we have still had some hot days and my shorts haven't been retired for the season yet. I had two pairs of jean shorts and I decided to have some fun with one of them!<br />

I walk into an H&M store and fall in love with a dress. I'm unable to buy the dress at that time for a reason that slips my mind. I go back to the store a week later to buy it, and it is gone, not even a trace of it is left. A disappointed me goes home and continues to think about that dress sporadically for the next eight months.<br />
<br />
Enter yesterday. I went thrifting with my sister at one of our favorite thrift stores. I eventually end up at the dress section and see a tiny bit of a dress sticking out amongst the dozens on the rack. My mind instantly flicks back to the H&M dress that I loved and I dive in to take a closer look. Lo and behold, it's the <i>same dress</i><b>. </b>In<b> </b><i>my size</i> and <i style="font-weight: bold;">with the original tag still on it.</i> How freaking cool is that?<br />
<br />
And the best part? I got it for 1/3 of the original price. #thriftwin<br />

As an introvert, I don't exactly like being the center of attention and when I'm thrown into new social environments, it takes everything in me to be bubbly and outgoing. For the record,<i> I love</i> hanging out with people, I love making new friends, but I don't like being the center of attention, I won't fight for that attention, and I most definitely need time by myself every day to recharge.<br />
<br />
Anyways, back to my week. This week I had 4 interviews, 7 if you include phone interviews. One of these interviews was a group interview for a retail store. Let's talk about group interviews for a second. You have to fight your way to get attention and say the right thing before someone else does. You have to try to outshine everyone else quicker than anyone in the group. <i>Putting an introvert into this kind of environment is like holding a runner back for a few seconds after the gun has gone off.</i> You have to work that much harder to impress them and do well. At my last retail store, I was a great sales associate. I knew my products and I would make conversation with the customers about their lives and always had a smile on. I'm just not good with interviews because I don't like cutting in before other people and I don't enjoy "bragging" about myself. At my retail job, I worked almost 40 hours every week and it still wasn't exhausting as these interviews were.<br />
<br />
After every interview, I literally sat in my car for a while so I could enjoy not having to impress anyone. And when I got home, I'd reward myself with some froyo. yumm!<br />
<br />
Here's to hoping I will be employed soon! :) (p.s. I have a photo session tomorrow! So excited people I don't know are starting to book me!)<br />

Have I mentioned that at all? ;)<br />

This scarf was actually really simple to make. I crocheted six individual strands and then wove them together. It almost reminded me of those friendship bracelets I used to make when I was "so cool." I kind of want to make another one of these, they are so fun!</div>

This early fall temperatures have me so excited for fall. Like, it is my ABSOLUTE favorite season ever. You can wear sweaters with shorts, jeans with a tank top, comfy boots, warm scarves, drink lots of hot tea, sleep with your windows open to feel the crisp night air, and of course the beautiful fall foliage is always something I look forward to seeing.<br />
<br />
I'm already getting the itch to make more scarves. Because I enjoy knitting and crocheting, I really want to learn more patterns and fun stitches this fall season.<br />
<br />
I'm already putting together fall outfits in my mind and getting excited about them. Is that weird? Here are some of my favorite fall outfits from my pinterest board.<br />

It all started with my <span class="Latn headword" lang="en" style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.1875px;">fiancé visiting and then bringing me back to Pennsylvania to send me on my way to Creation Festival in Mt. Union with my fellow media buddies. We camped out and spent the week recording and producing all the video for all of the shows on the main stage. It was an awesome experience and I was so happy to be a part of it.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Latn headword" lang="en" style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.1875px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Latn headword" lang="en" style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.1875px;">Then I spent a week in Philadelphia and went to the giant block party Philly had on the fourth of July. There were probably a million or more people there at that time. It was crazy. I had a whole crowd of people boo me, saw the cutest little boy run around in a sprinkler with a superman cape on, bumped into a couple friends, saw John Mayer, and </span></span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.18402862548828px;">we ran 8 blocks to make the train back.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.18402862548828px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.18402862548828px;">After all that excitement, I spent a week back home in Connecticut to do a week long temp assignment. My family and I woke up at 3am on a Saturday morning, and drove down to South Carolina. There we were spoiled with good food, family stories, and beach time at my grandparents' house near Charleston. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.18402862548828px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.18402862548828px;">Now I'm back home and getting into the swing of things again! I will give a long and detailed post with pictures but I still have a lot of photos to go through, so bear with me!</span><br />

I made this little green guy yesterday. I picked up these cool beads in a bead store in the town around my college. I've been mulling around ideas for them and today I settled on an idea that I liked.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I took 18 gauge wire and strung the beads on two strands and curved them so they weren't hanging straight across. Then I wrapped the ends around two links, which I then attached to a chain.</div>

Time to dig in and get the big planning details out of the way! I need to book a venue and photographer soon. The wedding is in May, but if I want the places/photographer I am pining after, I should probably call dibs now.<br />
<br />
Everything is just so darn expensive. :/<br />

I still can't believe I'm engaged. It makes me so happy, and so does he. :)<br />
<br />
Today's checklist consists of:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Calling venues to schedule a visit</li>
<li>Planning this week's blog posts</li>
<li>Start packing for next week's adventure (more details to come)</li>
</ul>
<br />
In other happy news, Jonathan comes to visit me this week! :) Can't wait to see him.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Anyways, I started with two pieces of felt the same size, but I cut a strip off the top piece so that the back piece could fold over it.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then I stitched all around the sides and the top. I forget what kind of stich it is. I was just going with it because it looked cool. (Sorry.)</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I sewed on the button just under the flap.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Then sewed a few loops in the flap to go around the button when I wanted to close it.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I find that I work best if I have a schedule and can expect to need a certain type of post next. I decided on blogging at <i>least</i> three times a week. One being a lifestyle post, one an outfit post, and another a craft or tutorial post. Easy enough right? And if I feel inspired to do a couple more in the week, then awesome!<br />
<br />
Now this schedule might not be permanent, and I might change it to have a blog post nearly every day, but for now, I think this is the right move for me.<br />
<br />

So this morning I tried drying and styling my hair differently. I watched curly hair tutorials for about 2 hours this morning and the end result was barely different. I want to wear my hair curly more, but it just gets so frizzy I give up and straighten it. I'd like to not have to straighten it all the time because it just takes too long.<br />

Sometimes getting out of bed is hard. Especially when you don't really have anywhere you need to be. And sometimes, staying in bed on your computer is more productive than getting up and wandering around. I had a productive morning in the comfort of my warm bed (it was a bit chilly out this morning), I had som chai and cereal, and enjoyed myself.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I am trying to get better at snapping photos of what I am working on and wearing, etc. and I am doing better! Someday I will be a pro, huh? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I can't show what I was working on quite yet, but soon. :)</div>

It's my last year before I get married and move away from my family and start a new adventure and I want to make sure it's a memorable one!<br />
<br />
There are projects I want to do for my future house, girl nights I want to have, and things I want to accomplish before I retire my maiden name. So I'm going to make a list and do my best to check each one off as completed.<br />
<br />
If you have any ideas you think would make a great addition to my list, please let me know! I'm scribbling down my ideas and I intend to add more as the year goes on.<br />

One of those projects being this blog. I never really liked the layout of my blog and I think that's one of the reasons I haven't been posting much. But now that I have given it a new design, it has inspired me and got me excited to post more things!<br />
<br />
I also have been thinking a lot of what this blog means to me, and before, I wanted it to primarily be a crafting blog, with a little bit of lifestyle fluff thrown in here and there. It's hard to think of crafting ideas all the time, especially original ones, so I always felt guilty when several posts would go by without a craft. But now, I'm making it about my everyday life, and if that day includes a craft, a fun date, etc. it will be in my post!<br />
<br />
Today I have a brother/sister portrait session and I'm excited!<br />
<br />
I have no idea what this face is.<br />

It's actually been quite a dry April here in Pennsylvania this year. Today's rain is the first in a while. I don't mind it so much because I can hole up in my room under my blankets and get some of my very last college projects done. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Everything will be over by Wednesday, and then I can celebrate until Friday's graduation. I hope so very much that it doesn't rain. Graduation on the front lawn of the college is always so beautiful when it's sunny. Its sets a great vibe for sending graduates off into the world and into the work force.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This senior year has been amazing. This year, I have worked 2 nanny jobs, was the RA of my college dorm, and started my freelance photography business, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/FreckledPerspective"><span style="color: purple;">Freckled Perspective</span></a>. I was the first female technical director at the Southern New England Ministries Network 2012 youth convention and PennDel 2013 Youth Convention. I also was one of the technical directors for daily chapel at Valley Forge Christian College, and a committee member of the first annual Captiv8 Film Festival. Oh and I also was homecoming queen!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Today, in my very last chapel of my college career, I received my gold honors tassels and found out I was elected in the Who's Who Among Students of American Universities and Colleges.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And in 1 week I will be walking across a stage to get my diploma. I'm so excited, exhausted, proud, and a million other emotions right now. I'm so happy with my college experience and God has blessed me with some amazing friends to share that experience with and hopefully continue to share memories with.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Be back soon! (just let me finish my final projects!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Oh hey guys! Want to know the reason I haven't posted much lately? It's because all of my crafts that I have done recently have not turned out well. I know. I'm super disappointed. But I really have tried like twenty different crafts. Maybe I have just been using the wrong materials. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Another reason I've been slightly absent, is because I've been working on my photography and design freelancing business. I'm working on my website now, but I have my Facebook page up and running, so check it out! I'm really excited about it, and I hope you guys like it. =]</div>

Well guys, today marks my last first day of school. It is my last semester. Even though today I didn't have any classes, school still started today so it is a big occasion for me. I can't believe it's coming to an end! I am nervous and excited and a whole mess of emotions. Who knows what is to come!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I honestly thing it will be an easy semester for me. I have 12 credits of which 2 are online and the other 2 are in the morning. That leaves my entire day open. So, naturally I got 4 jobs. I have my RA job, my photography, and 2 babysitting jobs. However, there is still so much time in my week not being used for anything. Ergo, I want to use this last semester to hang out with my friends more, prepare myself for my working life post-graduation, and I want to be able to blog more regularly.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Winter can be so monochromatic. It just seems like everything in the winter looses its color, even things that aren't outside. I can see why so many people get depressed during the wintertime. So I decided to make something with a pop of color.</div>

I used some green watercolor paint from the dollar store and mixed it with water inside the glass bottle. Then made some flowers like I showed you <span style="color: #cccccc;"><a href="http://whileisipmytea.blogspot.com/2012/01/book-page-flower.html">here</a> </span>and put them inside of the bottle and then added a little ribbon.</div>

How was your Christmas? Mine was lovely. We stretched out the festivities all day and had a lot of fun hanging out together and enjoyed people's reactions to what they opened. And I might have eaten WAY too much food but hey, it's Christmas! I can eat as much as I want, right?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Anyways, I'm so happy to be back regularly updating the blog. It feels good! If you have any blog post requests I'd love to make it happen!</div>

Being that it was the holidays and everyone needed a break from studying their finals, I threw a Christmas craft party at my apartment. We played Christmas movies, music, made cookies and tea, and had way more craft supplies than we could even put to use. Here is a little peek at our fun night.</div>

In the first 2 days that I was home, I made a scarf! I'm bound to make a lot more because my fingers are itching to fill my closets with fluffy scarves. It's a serious addiction. I'm almost out of yarn in my basket. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I made this scarf. I double stitched it and sewed the ends together. I love the length because I can either wrap it around my neck two or three times depending on the length I want.</div>

Hope your holiday seasons are going well! Mine have started off pretty well. I took headshots for a corporation today and I am happy with how they turned out. It's exciting knowing my work will be attached with their proposals that they send out. And I finished my Christmas shopping last night! I got some really good deals and I can't wait for everyone to open them up!</div>
