I love flats. I really don't own heels, because they're uncomfortable and I hate them. So I prefer to wear sandals and flats.<br />
<br />
I wanted to compile a list of my favorite flats and ones that I want. I can't wait to wear them with jeans and a comfy sweater! What is your favorite shoe?<br />

These are super cute. I love the two-tone and the scalloped pattern. I actually just bought a pair of flats from Forever 21 and was surprised that they were actually comfortable. I will be buying more pairs of flats from there for sure.</div>

I love the look of these types of flats but I'm not sure if I can pull it off. Do you ever want to try a new style but aren't sure if you'd look right wearing it? That's how I feel about these style of shoes. But I always like them on other people so I will just have to do it!</div>

I have been lusting over these forever. I don't like the traditional Tory Burch flats that most people have with the elastic back. I've worn flats like that before and it gives me blisters on my achilles. But I really love their other ballet flats. Perhaps in the future I'll splurge (and hope that they last me a few years!)</div>

These are my <b>absolute favorite</b> shoes in the fall and winter. I can't even explain how comfortable they are. I also like the grip on the bottom so you're not sliding around on ice in the winter. I have flat feet and shoes usually hurt my feet and shins (as opposed to wearing sneakers), but I have no issues with these!</div>

If you love decorating like I do, you're going to love this post! I recently decided to completely re-decorate my room and make it feel more rustic and Bohemian. I have been all over the internet looking for some ideas and inspiration on how to achieve the "Boho" look and here's 5 ways that I discovered:</div>

<br />
I've been wanting a Lilly dress for a while now and this is my chance! So lo and behold, "my first Lilly," which is now sold out :(<br />

And lastly, I'm debating on this one too. It's a cotton material, so I'm not sure what it would look like on me. Has anyone gotten a Lilly cotton dress? Thoughts?</div>

I'm going to head to the store after work and see if I can buy anything in person, and try some stuff on because I have no clue of the fit. I mean I'm already ordering online, so if I find out I got the wrong size I'll be mad but...I want to know if I ordered the right size :)<br />
<br />
I found a few dresses that were available and then once I clicked "Add to shopping cart" they were already sold out! It's possible the ones above have sold out since I wrote this.</div>

This would be a great dress for a more formal occasion. I love the pleated skirt. I tend to like dresses with this kind of fit as opposed to more form-fitting ones because after a night of eating or drinking, I need a dress that will hide some stuff :)</div>

One night I mentioned to my friends how cool Kendall Jenner's videos on her Instagram were (yes, these are the many random things girls talk about) and the app she was using to make them.<br />
<br />
I found out the name was 8mm Vintage Camera. It's $2.00 and my friend downloaded it seconds later. We stayed up ALL night recording little video snippets and putting them together. It was so much fun. And the vintage camera made it come out SO adorably. I definitely can say it's worth the two dollars.<br />
<br />
The video above is one me and my friends made at the lake club in our town. Let me know what you think of the video and the app if you decide to get it! :)<br />
<br />
P.S. the song in the video is "L.A.F" by Broods<br />

Summer is almost over! But I'm okay with that because fall is my favorite time of year.<br />
<br />
I was perusing Nordstrom's sale page and found a lot of things that will be great for back to school. One thing I am definitely buying will be a field jacket and a rain jacket - 2 must-haves for when it gets cooler outside!<br />
<br />
Here are other things on my shopping list:<br />

I'll admit - I will miss living at home, and know I'll be homesick. But I know it will be great to have my own space...and my complex has a pool!<br />
<br />
The hardest thing has been picking stuff out to decorate the apartment. Originally, I wanted to go with a boho theme in the living room, but now I think I want more of a beachy theme. So far, the living room is the only room that I have most of the stuff for. I have yet to buy stuff for the kitchen, bathroom or bedroom! But at least I have a really comfy couch ;)<br />
<br />
I'm still in the process of buying stuff and there is still a lot on my to-do list. I wanted to share my "wish-list" with you all and see what you think & what you would add. Perhaps there are things I am forgetting!<br />
<br />
Here is an image of what I'm trying to go for in the living room:<br />

I really need some sort of small storage space. I plan on putting this behind the back of my couch, since my couch will stick out from the wall a bit. It will be a good way to disguise that and have some extra shelf safe. Luckily, I already have a big bookshelf for all my books :)</div>

I love summertime concerts because it's the best feeling to listen to your favorite music in the warm weather with good friends. I found some concerts that I'm looking to go to next month! All of these are in the Tri-State area BUT if you click on the tour name it will take you to an official website where you can see if they're coming to a town near you! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

It's summatime! Most of us use this time to travel and experience new places. Patty and I are on our one week countdown for Paraguay and Brazil and we are SO excited. We have been shopping for things that we need before we leave and I decided to dedicate this post to cute & comfy airplane outfits. The flight from Newark, NJ to Asuncion, Paraguay is about a 12 hour flight (ah!) so I'm going to show you all some outfit inspirations for flights (or car rides) like mine:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="http://www.pacsun.com/la-hearts/ethnic-crepe-beach-pants-0850461580008.html" target="_blank">LA Hearts Ethnic Crepe Beach Pants</a> ($29.95): I just bought a similar pair of these flowy pants from Marshalls. They feel like pajamas!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="http://bit.ly/UmRL2v" target="_blank">Free People Half Moon Tank</a> ($48): A simple tank top pairs great with a crazy patterned pant like these ones.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="http://bit.ly/1npavH1" target="_blank">Mango Linen Cardigan, Light Beige</a> ($59.31): I always have to have a big comfy sweater/sweatshirt with me on the plane. It gets so cold up there!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="http://bit.ly/1irlXUY" target="_blank">TOMS White Crochet Women's Classic</a> ($58.95): Any slip-on shoe is great for airports and airplanes. Especially when you're being rushed to take off your shoes to get through security. I always panic, haha. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="http://bit.ly/1uK5fQQ" target="_blank">Longchamps La Pliage Mini Tote</a> ($95.00): Carry on totes are a must. All of your necessities you need on hand should be in your tote because once you're separated from your suitcase all you have is your carry-on bag.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="http://bit.ly/1m3Lbs6" target="_blank">Vans Classic Slip-On Sneaker</a> ($47.00): Slip-on sneakers are great for people who need support when walking around a lot (like Patty, lol) I can usually wear anything and be comfy but her feet start to hurt after a while.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

I love sleeping in, and definitely snooze too much in the mornings. Once I'm up and out of bed I'm good to go, but it's the actual <b>getting out of bed</b> part that is hard.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijJ6qe5HWjHRtaahOzdfvVoQVgdTZLDSx0kMkDiNGX0aDKdsHmUQ4xNVBaGbHkjIb2LWyViejLDEuW_SfSaS8W3mM6xeYzdXu72lxkOjYtGCubbYC3NakGeNsbsN7PLEWtCyRN1DHXsyY/s1600/morning-routines.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijJ6qe5HWjHRtaahOzdfvVoQVgdTZLDSx0kMkDiNGX0aDKdsHmUQ4xNVBaGbHkjIb2LWyViejLDEuW_SfSaS8W3mM6xeYzdXu72lxkOjYtGCubbYC3NakGeNsbsN7PLEWtCyRN1DHXsyY/s1600/morning-routines.png" height="640" width="426" /></a></div>
<br />
My usual morning routine goes as follows:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>7:30am - first alarm. snooze for 15 minutes.</li>
<li>7:45am - get out of bed.</li>
<li>7:45am-8:10am - get changed, do makeup, etc.</li>
<li>8:10-8:30am - make 2 hardboiled eggs, pack snacks and lunch for the workday.</li>
<li>8:35am - leave for work.</li>
</ul>
<div>
I know a lot of people who like to budget time in the mornings to eat breakfast and drink coffee, but I do both of these things in my car as I'm driving to work. That's why I eat hardboiled eggs each morning!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
But here's my resolution: I'd like to try waking up a bit earlier to sit and drink my coffee in peace while watching the news or reading a book. I want to <a href="http://atlanticchic.blogspot.com/2014/05/current-reading-list.html" target="_blank">read more</a>, and the morning is a perfect time to do so. At night I'm usually finishing up some work or relaxing in bed with Netflix.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I spend most of my day in front of a computer, either doing work for my job, or doing work for my business, so it would do me some good to not be in front of a screen in the morning!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I have tried getting up earlier to work out but it just doesn't work for me. I feel like a zombie and not awake enough to do something strenuous. I have thought about doing yoga in the AM though...perhaps this is something else I will try!</div>
<div>

But it's been a while since I've worn them (not really sure why exactly...) They're so breezy and fun so yesterday I decided to wear a new skirt I received as a gift. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKRptk4uTJnwoexRmb73najm5y5mgDqr7r4rha6h5thJeFVlvdGfDo-sA86NsO5ixK1_yDUYg5pDf0018vvFIM1ZJF8svJDdyuwrFjT_LwOyB7OTIQ5HaV8X0_5mjdApYy6p6qEznrB8Mx/s1600/pic+5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKRptk4uTJnwoexRmb73najm5y5mgDqr7r4rha6h5thJeFVlvdGfDo-sA86NsO5ixK1_yDUYg5pDf0018vvFIM1ZJF8svJDdyuwrFjT_LwOyB7OTIQ5HaV8X0_5mjdApYy6p6qEznrB8Mx/s1600/pic+5.jpg" height="640" width="426" /></a></div>
This sky blue skirt was a gift (and I never really found out where it was from) and I paired it with a patterned flower tank top crop top from Forever 21 which was probably only around 5 dollars!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmE5nDsY5_ECLC7N8lL-2PAkM9Ln30D0nSSqnF3zDtp02VtZv6y_uPr2n5PqqzwgyLRf2mikw5ieryY-WBo-RWhT_x1SAn8_QwSxDXXwjFyIA2SeVYUGiDLihKuY56YkGH3UDP2_ZlxLX1/s1600/pic+6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmE5nDsY5_ECLC7N8lL-2PAkM9Ln30D0nSSqnF3zDtp02VtZv6y_uPr2n5PqqzwgyLRf2mikw5ieryY-WBo-RWhT_x1SAn8_QwSxDXXwjFyIA2SeVYUGiDLihKuY56YkGH3UDP2_ZlxLX1/s1600/pic+6.jpg" height="640" width="426" /></a></div>
It's funny because my friend asked me "Oh is that skirt from American Apparel?" Nope. "But the top is, right?" Guess again! <br />

As you may have read in my last post about summer hairstyles, I never really do much with my hair. Here, I just clipped my hair into a half up half down hair-do. Also, I just wore simple studs from Forever 21 as well.<br />

It's okay - there is still time! And I have a few ideas for you...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGWhQ4ueEtxN8O8gszBvi6-HMPkbmADFQfZqy7IyAfdJsV0KphA04tQSClouymeofDqdeMxTmPIT_zefctbhcNKbKjx1H2616z-RYsWHBRNV2HAd09k_e8b9GkzvLOaCntjCPtceC7GfQ/s1600/Untitled+design.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGWhQ4ueEtxN8O8gszBvi6-HMPkbmADFQfZqy7IyAfdJsV0KphA04tQSClouymeofDqdeMxTmPIT_zefctbhcNKbKjx1H2616z-RYsWHBRNV2HAd09k_e8b9GkzvLOaCntjCPtceC7GfQ/s1600/Untitled+design.png" height="640" width="426" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>A watch//</b> This is actually on my dad's wish list. He needs a new watch so he pointed out a Seiko watch that he wants. This <a href="http://bit.ly/1p9Xy5P" target="_blank">Seiko watch</a> is only $140 from Macy's. If you are combining a gift with a sibling, you could get this <a href="http://bit.ly/1hBAEVf" target="_blank">Movado watch</a> which is a bit more casual as well.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>A phone case//</b> Who doesn't need a phone case? Sometimes you just want an extra just in case, or if you're like my sister, you switch your phone cases every other day. My dad's case has gotten a lot of wear and tear, so one year we got him an <a href="http://otterbox.com/" target="_blank">Otterbox</a> for his iPhone. I love how durable and long lasting Otterboxes are...and once it breaks or wears you can get a free case from them when you send in your old one!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Boat shoes//</b> My brother and dad wear boat shoes all the time in the winter. You might only think of <a href="http://bit.ly/1nSnxl9" target="_blank">Sperry's</a> when you think of boat shoes, but there are so many out there in different price ranges...so you are bound to find something that works for your wallet. <a href="http://bit.ly/1nSnxl9" target="_blank">These Sperry's</a> are $85, but if you're looking for something a bit more inexpensive, check out these <a href="http://www.ae.com/web/browse/product.jsp?productId=0213_6236_211&catId=cat6470497" target="_blank">canvas boat shoes</a> from American Eagle which are $29.95.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Running shoes// </b>If your dad is active, then he will love sneakers! If I got sneakers for every holiday, I'd be a happy girl. Also, sometimes people don't like to splurge on themselves, and sneakers can be pricey, so it's a perfect gift. If he has a favorite brand, stick to those. If he's never bought running sneakers before, get a gift card so he can go to a specialty running store and get fitted for sneakers that are perfect for his feet and running style. I did this last year and my dad loved the shoes I got him. He's ran in the <a href="http://bit.ly/1l8MvZT" target="_blank">Asics Gel Cumulus</a> ever since!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Sports tickets//</b> If you and your dad love sports, take him to a ball game! What better way to spend time with him on Father's day than out at a ballpark. If he's not a fan of baseball, then get him tickets to another sport or an IOU for tickets to a winter sporting event, if that's his thing.</div>

I always like to switch things up in my life but hair is something that's tough for me. Does anyone feel me on this? I went on Pinterest and Tumblr and found a couple of hairstyles that I'm hoping to try this summer/very soon!<br />
<br />

Hair wraps definitely remind me of middle school (lol) but I really want to try this one! It looks more sophisticated and it's actually super easy to do on yourself rather than pay $20 for someone to do it for you. In fact, I'll probably do this to my hair later today to prepare for the beach this weekend!<br />

On those hot summer days where leaving your hair down is not an option, this would be the perfect hairdo. So simple too. All you really do it find a think headband and wrap your hair into it. I have so much hair (and it's thick too) so I would have to see if this works for me. If you try it out let me know how it goes!<br />

I've seen "The Bow Bun" a couple of times now and I thought it was so adorable! I never got around to trying it out and ended up forgetting about it until I logged back onto Pinterest again. I will definitively be trying this out this summer.<br />
<br />
Out of these 3 hairstyles which are you most likely to try? I would have to say the hair wrap is my number one right now. Let me know what you think!<br />

Have a great day lovies,<br />

Now that I'm home from school I finally get to drive and jam to my music again! This is honestly one of my favorite things to do. I'm always looking for new music to listen to on my drives so I don't get bored. I decided to share with you all of the current songs I've been listening to. It's a mix of genres for all different tastes. Let me know what you think and I hope you enjoy it! :)<br />

<br />
As a social media marketing consultant, I know how important social media is when it comes to branding. And that is how you should think of yourself and your social media profiles. It is your <b>brand.</b> It is how companies will probably get their first impression of you.<br />
<br />

That can sound daunting, but you can use social media to your advantage and utilize it to find the perfect opportunities for yourself, whether it's an internship or a full-time position. Here are a few tips on how to do that:<br />
<br />
<b>Use Twitter for networking//</b> Follow your favorite brands and companies on Twitter so you're always on top of their news and updates. But don't wait until they post a job listing to start tweeting them. Regularly tweet at the company account and even some people within the company. Let's say the marketing director is someone who will probably be the one looking at resumes...follow him/her and tweet at them. Engage in conversations. It will certainly make you memorable.<br />
<br />
<b>Tweet relevant news updates//</b> Sure you can use Twitter to post your daily meals and updates on your love life, but you could also use it to be building your personal brand. What is your brand? Well, think of it this way. What traits describe you? What are your favorite news websites? If you love Buzzfeed, RT or tweet links that you find funny. If you like the NYTimes, RT or tweet about their news stories and add your own short commentary. These tweets will make you seem well-rounded and like you use social media to stay on top of the news, rather than just posting about yourself.<br />
<br />
<b>Clean up your Facebook//</b> Even if your profile is "private," nothing is truly private anymore. Is it really necessary to have that album with the picture of you doing a keg stand? Probably not. Delete inappropriate photos and use Facebook as a place to share current events as well, like Twitter.<br />
<br />
<b>Get off "private."//</b> Yes, we all want our privacy, but social media is SOCIAL. Forget about being private. Like I said above, nothing is private anymore. And in this day and age, companies will be searching for your profiles. They <b>want</b> to see a digital footprint. If they Google your name, and absolutely nothing comes up, that isn't a good thing. You can still use social media for personal use, but just don't post things you wouldn't want your parents to see. If you plan on applying to jobs relating to marketing, social media marketing, communications, etc. they will definitely want to see you social media profiles, and will ask for links...so be prepared!<br />
<br />
<b>Start a professional blog//</b> Do you want to get into marketing? Fashion? Photography? Start a professional blog for your field and use it as a place to talk about trending topics relating to that niche. Also use it as a portfolio to showcase your talents and projects.<br />
<br />
Check out <a href="http://twitter.com/pattyrivas13" target="_blank">my personal Twitter</a> for an example of how I use it as a blogger but also for personal use. I have nothing to hide, tweet about current events, and share relevant links from other professionals and bloggers. If you went to my Twitter account, you'd instantly know my "brand." You'd know I'm passionate about health, fitness, and social media.<br />

Most days, the day just gets away from me, and at night I end up watching my favorite show on Hulu instead of reading. Anyone else?<br />
<br />
But I want to read more! I'm going to try to dedicate AT LEAST 5 minutes each night to reading before bed. As I'm making my 101 in 1001 bucket list (you'll find out more soon), I got the idea to make a goal of reading at least 25 books in the next 2 years. I can do this!<br />
<br />
Here are some books that are on my reading list. Let me know which ones you've read and which you'd recommend!<br />

Michelle and I love traveling, so I figured this would be a fun little survey to do (and our first link-up)!<br />

<b>The excitement of take-off and landing//</b> While I (Patty) personally hate take-off and landing, I do like the excitement that comes with it. That feeling of knowing you're on your way to another country, and leaving for vacation. And the feeling that comes with landing, as you decent into the airport, and the pilot gives you the local time and weather...you're finally there!<br />
<br />
<b>The hustle and bustle of the airport//</b> Do you ever wonder where all those people are going? What their story is? I love people watching at the airport and it's cool to think we are all there for the same reasons...to travel, visit people we love, explore new places...<br />
<br />
<b>Visit the local zoo or museum//</b> If you're going to another country, you should definitely check out their zoo! Or stop by a local botanical garden or museum. Immerse yourself in their culture and learn as much as you can while you're there. Sure, you can read about it, but nothing compares to actually seeing it up close and personal.<br />

<b>New places to shop//</b> My sister and I are excited for our upcoming trip to Paraguay and Brazil because we can't wait to shop! Whether it's for clothes or souvenirs, you have to check out the local shops and malls to see what you find. I love bringing back unique items for friends and family.<br />
<br />
<b>Typical touristy stuff// </b>Sure the locals hate it, but finding the top touristy things to do is always my favorite. I mean, why not?? Make a checklist before you travel of the places you have to go to and try to go to as many as you can!<br />
<br />

<b>New modes of transportation// </b>When we travel to Paraguay, we know we will be taking the local buses a lot. That's their main way of transportation. If you're going to NYC, you know you'll take the subway. While it can be an uncomfortable new experience, it's a way to see how the locals live in the city you're in.<br />
<br />
<b>Trying new things// </b>The last time my family went to Paraguay, I tried ziplining. I was really scared at first (I don't like heights) but it ended up being a lot of fun, and a memorable experience we'll never forget. Conquer your fears and just do it!<br />

<b>Trying new food and drink//</b> I'm a bit wary of trying new foods, but if you're somewhere where they are "known for something" you gotta try it! Recently, we went to Maryland so I obviously had to get some crab cakes! I also love trying new beers in each state or country I go to :)<br />
<br />
<b>New weather// </b>It was really cool to go to San Francisco and experience the famous "fog." It's also cool to go to Paraguay in the winter time, and have it be over 100 degrees there because it's summer in the southern hemisphere. Just research what the weather will be ahead of time so you are ready for it!<br />
<br />
<b>Exploring state parks and trails//</b> Wildlife and nature is totally different in different areas of the country (or other countries)...duh...so get outside! Go to a state park and go for a hike. I went to a park in Northern California along the Pacific Coast Highway and watched the sunset. Amazing.<br />

Especially Mac Studio Fix. I seriously love it! It's a foundation and powder all in one. I hate using foundation so this is perfect for me. Though, sometimes I use Revlon's foundation for a night out. Here are some other products I use:<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://reach-yourpeak.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/mac-powder.jpg"><img alt="mac powder" class="aligncenter wp-image-2480" src="http://reach-yourpeak.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/mac-powder.jpg" height="450" width="450" /></a></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
I do use BB cream or face moisturizer too before putting makeup on. In the winter my skin gets REALLY dry, so a good, thick cream is a must-have.<br />
<br />
When I go out, I like to add eyeshadow too, I love smokey eye looks. One of my favorites is Mac Woodwinked eyeshadow. I also have a Stila palette which has gold, blacks, and purples but I forget the name of it! I really want to get the <a href="http://bit.ly/1jl8Wdy" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Naked3</a> too since I've heard so much about it.</div>

<br />
I visited The Malt House for my friend's birthday brunch, and figured I'd write a review about it! Brunch is a bit deal in New York City, but being that I live in New Jersey, I have actually never been to a NYC brunch. Brunch in NJ = going to a diner for some delicious food!<br />
<br />
I was excited to try out a New York style brunch, but honestly was a bit disappointed. I was feeling kind of nauseous that morning (being out in NYC until 4 am will do that to you), and really wanted some good food to make me feel better. I ordered the three cheese Mac n' Cheese and was excited for it, but it turned out to be a bit bland. Perhaps other options on the menu would be better, though my friend wasn't happy with her selection either (I think it was the chicken and waffle sandwich?).<br />
<br />
However, there is a pretty good deal of adding $12 to your bill and getting unlimited drinks. I skipped on that since I wasn't feeling well, but the rest of the group took advantage. They had an assortment of cocktails you could choose from. My friend said the drinks weren't that strong though, so it depends on what kind of brunch you're looking for ;)<br />
<br />
<b>What: </b>A "gastropub" in the West Village<br />
<b>Where: </b>206 Thompson Street, New York NY<br />
<b>Overall Grade: </b>C+<br />
<br />

It was so much fun!<br />
I wanted an outfit that had some color, since it's finally spring (!), but also looked put together for an evening out.<br />
My favorite place to find brightly colored tops is Forever21, and they did not fail me when I went shopping this weekend!<br />

We have all been through the college freshman phase of living in a jail cell dorm room. (If you got to avoid that, I am super jealous). As I have passed my freshman year of college, and miss it dearly, I have slowly learned cool tricks to make your dorm room (or room in general) look & feel a little more like home.<br />
<br />
First off, lighting is the most important. As you can see, that light on the wall is off and it stays off most of the time. I did that because it's fluorescent and it's just not a flattering color. Instead, I bought my own lamp from Target for $15 bucks! It's really cute and makes the lighting in the room much more relaxing.<br />
<br />
Next, I added pictures on the wall. This is probably the easiest to do. I just found some pictures off my Facebook of me and my friends and printed them out. Rite Aid and Wal-Mart are great places to get pictures printed - they are less expensive than a photo store. Stick them on the wall and bam! Instant decorations. If you want to get more into it you can do something like <b><a href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/83879611783641920/" target="_blank">this.</a></b> <br />
<br />
Another thing I just NEEDED to have was a wall tapestry. It's such a great way to get rid of a boring white wall. Sometimes it's hard to find tapestries and it can get annoying to order them offline (mine is a gift from a friend from Costa Rica). One of my friends found that instead of ordering an actual tapestry you can find cool patterned sheer scarves and hang them up and it looks just the same!<br />
<br />
My room would certainly not be complete without the white Christmas lights. I really don't care that it's not Christmas anymore! I love my lights and they make me happy at night when I'm relaxing after a long day.<br />
<br />
One thing that I've been meaning to add to my room is more pillows. I love the way a bed looks when there's a bunch of soft pillows that just make it look like a big cloud of comfy :)<br />
<br />

Whether you're having a bad day, or having an awesome day, these are a few ways to make your day even better.<br />
<br />
<b>Wear your favorite outfit //</b> Because who doesn't feel confident in their favorite outfit?<br />
<b>Text/chat with a friend //</b> Whether it's through text, Gchat, Facebook chat, Snapchat...get in touch with a friend and have a nice conversation. My sister and I Facebook chat a lot when we want to catch up or just send each other funny links we find online.<br />
<b>Go for a walk //</b> Going for a walk is a great way to be active, but also to get outside and enjoy the fresh air. When you're running around to different meetings or classes, you can't really enjoy the outdoors. Go for a short walk and take it in.<br />
<b>Scroll through a funny site //</b> We love Buzzfeed. I always am sending Michelle links I find on there, and most of the time they make me laugh out loud. If you're having a bad day, definitely go there! In fact, read this while you're at it: <a href="http://www.buzzfeed.com/justinabarca/small-things-that-suck-major-butt" target="_blank">45 Small Things That Suck Big Time</a><br />
<b>Listen to your favorite songs //</b> I love belting out songs in my car. I have a few go-to songs for when I really want to sing ;) Make a playlist of your feel-good songs and play it in your car, on your walk to a meeting, or while you're just hanging out in your room!<br />
<b>Watch the sunrise or sunset //</b> When was the last time you did this? Sometimes we are just too busy to even remember to enjoy a sunset. Go out today and watch it.<br />
<b>Do someone a favor //</b> Whether they ask or not, do something nice for someone today. It always feels good to put a smile on someone's face.<br />
<b>Bake up a sweet treat //</b> Really, who doesn't get in a better mood around fresh baked cookies?<br />
<b>Clean your room or closet //</b> It's a pain but once I see my room freshly cleaned and organized, it just makes me feel better and more productive.<br />
<b>Paint your nails //</b> Giving yourself a manicure is always good therapy. Or if you're feeling creative, try some nail art inspired by Pinterest. How about something like this?<br />

We don't know about you, but we love
finding sales and cute, classic items that won't break the budget. We will try to feature sales and great finds as much as possible!<br />
<br />
Here's a little bit more about us:<br />
<br />
<b>Patty:</b> I'm a 20-something year old social media strategist and personal trainer. Some of you may already know me from my health & fitness blog, <a href="http://reach-yourpeak.com/" target="_blank">Reach Your Peak</a>, but I wanted to branch out and write about something new :)<br />
I love running, anything fitness related (hence my first blog), and experimenting with makeup. My favorite place to shop is probably T.J. Maxx (so many good deals!) or Old Navy (great simple finds).<br />

<b>Michelle: </b><span data-measureme="1"><span class="null">Hey, I'm Michelle! I'm 20
years old and attending Rutgers University (which I'm in love with btw).
I love catching up on tech news and trends in my free time, and also
love being outdoors and traveling to new places. One of my hobbies is listening and discovering new music. I actually have my own music blog where I interview up and coming artists. Check out <a href="http://theearplug.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">The Ear Plug</a>!</span></span><br />
<span data-measureme="1"><span class="null">I've been told my style is a
mix between comfortable and chill and I completely agree! Comfy is my
number one necessity. Number 2 is cost (as a lot of you probably are
thinking as well). I mostly shop at Forever21, Love Culture, and Marshalls.</span></span><br />
