School is over, (for now at least) and I am so ready to embrace summer. It's nice to get out of the city for a while and live in the peace and quiet of suburbia.  Unfortunately, it is incredibly humid and rainy all the time, but no worries. I've been busy unpacking, (I now have 100% more crap then I ever did before) Things are just accumulating in piles around my room and I occasionally see one of the piles moving, my dog will then creep out from underneath it. Not sure why she finds it necessary to burrow herself in my stuff, but she's cute so whateva, (and it makes for the most ADORABLE instagram pics.)
Anyways, I've been working on a "chillface" playlists- ya know, the songs you listen to relax, get your chill...face on. I've developed one that I think is pretty super, but ya'll let me know. And by ya'll, I mean the 3 people who actually read my blog, one of which is my mom. So thanks mom for making my blog views number go up. Much appreciated. I will also have more time to doodle!! YEAYYYY!
In the mean time, grab the ones you love, relax, nap and enjoy the start of summer-

Here's the Chill-Face Playlist: 
(FUN FACT- if you click on the highlighted song title it will take you to that song's youtube page!)
When The Night Comes, Dan Auerbach

--> I have totally been slacking on this whole blog bit, but today we make a change! I am really, really, REALLY going to try and get into a routine of doing it everyday… and by everyday I mean every week.
I have literally been up to my eyeballs in work. School tends to feel like quicksand, you just get pulled deeper and deeper in and just when you think you’ve shaken one limb free…I don’t know…you’re still screwed cause you’re in QUICK SAND! Okay, okay, maybe it’s not quicksand more like a flytrap. The sticky ones that hang from the ceiling and flies get stuck in them and die. I’ve seen a girl get stuck on one-not pretty. Besides, school is supposed to be tough but I just keep telling myself, one more year, one more year-it’s become my mantra.
However, my life does not just consist of me wallowing in my sorrows, full of self-pity by the amount of homework I have. There is some good in my life. No, not good, GREATNESS!
I was introduced to two wonderful gentlemen through a friend. They had a vision that they wanted to start a brand that represented our generation. Their names are Matt and Brian Bank, two brothers who happen to sit at the top of my favorite people list. They are smart, funny and have incredible heads of hair, (eat your heart out Beiber). The boys discussed their vision for the brand and explained its back-story. The brand is called NAKD Apparel and it stands for Never Attempt Killing Dreams. They started saying it when they were younger and it sort of grew into their motto. NAKD is an homage to all the dreamers, the driven, the hopeless romantics, the individuals and the people just trying to make it. They want their clothes to grow with the customer and be worn by virtually anyone. They have bright color pallets but also neutral tones that cater to boys, girls, men and women.

Matt and Brian are extremely hardworking and steadfast in raising this NAKD baby, and I most definitely see great success in their future. Although they have just a few t–shirts and tanks to their name, NAKD already has growing fan base at Penn State University and is making moves across the Unite States. NAKD is loved by so many and I feel so fortunate to be part of the NAKD team!  
Keep an eye on their site because you never know when new stuff may appear!
