Hello Everyone!

It has been a hot minute since I've posted an #ootd on my blog! I've been obsessing over this romper from the Who What Wear collection at Target since I picked it up a few weeks ago.

|| Romper: Target || Shoes: Steve Madden 2 years ago (similar)  || Bag: Free People ||

Rompers are very hard for a lot of women to wear, they can be very short and very booby or cut you off in weird places, so I was very hesitant to try this one in the store. But, I absolutely loved the burnt orange color and floral print that makes it perfect to wear into September and early October as the seasons change but its still pretty warm out.






I can't wait to see what the next Who What Wear collection consists of because I'm officially obsessed!

See you soon!

Hello friends!

Lately, I've been trying my best to eat healthy since the past few days have been a lot of eating out and a lot of junk foods. As you could probably guess it tasted great in the moment but I quickly started feeling gross. So since then I've been trying really hard to eat healthily and lunch is one of those meals where I don't really know what to do with myself. I feel like its probably the easiest meal to be unhealthy with bread-y sandwiches and chips everywhere you look.


This recipe is super easy because you can really adjust it however you want and add your favorite veggies but, this is my favorite way to make it.


I make my salads individually rather than a big batch because I think it tastes more fresh but you can double up on ingredients to make this for more people.

First, I make the base with a couple handfuls of whatever greens I have on hand, usually a spinach/arugula blend because its my favorite.

Next, I add on my toppings. I used 1/4 of a cucumber with the skin still of because I like the taste and the skin is where all the nutrients are, 1/4 of a tomato chopped, and 1/2 of an avocado cubed.

Finally, The most important part! The cottage cheese! Cottage cheese is very good for you, it's high in protein, calcium, and iron (which I'm forever deficient in). I also use the low fat cottage cheese so this meal has very low fat and the fat from the avocado is good for you.

The cottage cheese acts as the dressing for this salad so it is also oil free and I just top it with salt, pepper, and paprika to give it more flavor.

This salad also gives me a bunch of energy and keeps me full throughout the afternoon so I'm doing less snacking.

I'd love to see you make this salad so don't forget to tag me on Instagram or twitter if you make it!


See you soon!

So I'm a little over a year out of College and I have yet to land a full-time position (cue ugly crying now) besides some temp work. So, basically I'm an expert at job searching, or ya know... NOT since I still don't have a job (cue more ugly crying). Anyway, moving on, Today I wanted to share my top 5 websites I use during my job search and what I use them for.

1. LINKEDIN

LinkedIn is my go-to job search site. LinkedIn is probably the biggest job networking site out there right now and they make it very easy to filter your results for the exact job you are looking for, which helps cut down on the number of descriptions you read that you are completely unqualified for.

2. GLASSDOOR

I use Glassdoor as more of an interview resource. After I set up an interview I will go on Glassdoor and look at the company reviews to learn more about the company culture, professionalism, and compensation to ensure this is a company I would like to pursue. I also use the site to look at interview reviews to prepare answers for some possible questions I could be asked.

3. INDEED

Indeed is another job board I search on. While my preference is still LinkedIn, there are companies who use Indeed as their main recruiting site so it helps me find jobs I may have missed using just LinkedIn. Indeed also has an option for "quick apply" where you upload your resume and fill out some information once and then you only have to hit submit on a job you want to apply to which helps cut down on tedious applications.

4. THE MUSE

The Muse is yet another job board but I don't use the site as a job board. They mostly cater to tech jobs which is not a field I'm looking for, personally. Besides being a job board they also have a whole section dedicated to career advice. I will often scroll through their articles to stay up-to-date with the job trends, different ways to help me stand out as a candidate, as well as, interview advice because you can always improve!

5. RECRUITING SITES

Currently, I feel like many companies are turning towards contractors instead of full time employees. Going for temporary jobs can be a great way to build up experience and keep gaps in your resume to a minimum. Contract positions also pay very competitively but often lack benefits so take that into consideration when looking into those types of roles.

Those are the top websites I use during my job search! Are there any sites you use that I didn't mention here? let me know down below!

I hope this helped you in your job search!

See you soon!
