Helloooo from San Francisco! Yes, I am once again back in the Bay Area for school! Amongst the chaos of getting ready for school and many sorority events, I am moving! I will be moving closer to my school to a bigger, more spacious apartment. I will definitely have updates on the new apartment, but as for now, I am typing on my iPad due to the fact that my MacBook has decided to close out OSx Software. Until I get that fixed and get settled back into the school and work schedule, there may be lack of posts!

Hope you are all doing amazing!

xoxo,

Kathryn Michel

I Have An Obsession | Disneyland

When people used to ask me what the happiest place on earth was, I used to say Starbucks. Who did I think I was? Did I think I was too cool to actually say Disneyland? Anyways, past aside, I need a season pass to Disneyland. Okay, I don't NEED one, but it would be really handy and would make me very, very, happy. If only there was another Disneyland in San Francisco! Then it would be justified (:

Until then, I will just have to do with the occasional trip - three this summer, but who's counting?

So yes, I may eat my way through Disneyland, but this isn't even all of it! I got some fudge and cookies for my parents, and I finally gave in and got a turkey leg. That thing is DELICIOUS! I have it in my fridge now, and it is like thanksgiving leftovers were infused with bacon. I swear, GET IT! And I also got Mocha Almond Fudge ice-cream from Gibson Girl, but I was alone on Main Street and it was a moment of panic! To end this short post I will tell you some exciting news! DISNEYLAND IS GETTING A STARBUCKS! Hoorayyyy! There is one in CA Adventure and one at Downtown Disney, but they will be opening one in Disneyland off of Main Street! Am I the only one excited? Yes? Okay... See you all in my next post!

Outlets & Mall | Pre-Birthday Haul

Yesterday, being my last Saturday home, my mom and I thought it would be a fun idea to head out to the Camarillo outlets! I got some fun goodies both at the outlets and at the mall on the way home, and thought I would share them with you! (That way you can live vicariously through the money I spent, and not have to spend any of your own money ahah)

Favorite Things | Spa Time

Happy August! To kick off the start to my birthday weekend, and to finish my day off, I wanted to have a spa night! I thought I would share with you a few products I have been loving, and a new product and what I think about it.

Coconut oil is a long time favorite. It's amazing for skin, hair, and cooking but tonight I used it as a hair mask! If you are interested in how I did this, click here!

For my face mask, I broke out my Origins Clear Improvement Charcoal mask which I rediscovered when cleaning out my bathroom! Yay summer cleaning!

As for the bath bomb, I actually made this when I was in San Francisco for the weekend. Yes, I made this! They were having a free demonstration or something outside and you were able to make your own bath bomb, for free! Since it was just sitting in my bathroom, still in its mold I might add, I figured why not give it a try! It turned my bath water HOT PINK, but hey, can I complain? And it smelled like roses! I don't feel that it did much to my skin, but it was still fun!

As for my candle, I like to burn Christmas candles year round because, well, because I can. This is my favorite one, frosted cranberry!

To keep me occupied I got caught up on 17 magazine, and scrolled through my Twitter feed!

Weekend Road Trip | San Francisco Summer

This past weekend, my friends, Kellie and Shannon, and I took a long awaited road trip to visit my apartment and roommate Erika up in San Francisco! We ate at some of my favorite spots in the whole city, and gave the twins the full touristy run down of the city, without the wharf because that is just way too much for a weekend trip. We drove up Saturday morning and came back Monday night. It was the perfect weekend get away and I would love nothing more than to do back!
