Tips for Moving Back Home After College

In the spirit of all of my other anniversaries that happen this time of year, I feel it is also important to mark and celebrate one full year of moving back home. That’s right, in case you didn’t know: I moved back in with my parents right after college. There was no doubt I would move back home when I accepted my first full time job (right before my last semester of college began). My job is like 8 minutes away from my parents’ house so it would have been foolish for me to try to find my own place when my parents were totally willing to let me move back home. My brothers are now college graduates too but both decided to not move back home (they also have jobs farther away). So now it’s like I’m an only child. I know not everyone can or want to move back home, but it was the best choice for me. And if you’re like me, you may be in the same position. If you’re worried about moving back home, don’t freak out yet! Here is some advice from me after living back at home for a full year (so far).

Sparkly Sheer Top

Happy Friday! I hope you all have some fun plans this weekend! My weekends usually consist of running around and going on adventures with friends. And on the rare occasion that I actually have a free weekend just to relax, it’s usually spent making plans for the next few weekends. It never ends! Lately I’ve really stacking up my summer with trips and concerts. I actually wore this above above to a Kelsea Ballerini concert a few months ago. Kelsea puts on an absolutely fabulous show and I was in the PIT! I totally cried when she sang “In Between” and I got to hold her hand during Legends! You can head to my Instagram to see more pictures and videos from that night, but if you want to check out more outfit details, click the little ‘read more’ button.

3 Easy and Healthy Meal-Prep Breakfasts

Something I’ve been really focused on the past few months is healthy breakfasts. I have been getting up at 5:30am most mornings to do Orange Theory and I usually do a fasted work out (meaning that I don’t eat anything before), so when I get home I am starving. Somedays I can spend a good chunk of my morning cooking and other days I only have time to heat something up and then rush to work. So in the latter case, meal-prepping is key. One of my best friends, Kalen, showed me a few really great meal prep breakfasts that are both healthy and delicious! (Here is her fitness website!) Breakfast is 100% my favorite meal of the day (well technically brunch is, but you can’t drink mimosas at 12pm every morning) so starting the day off with a good meal is super important to me.

1 Year at My First Full-Time Job: What I’ve Learned So Far

Happy 1 year anniversary of me officially starting my first ever full-time job! Can you believe it has been 1 full year since I graduated college and actually became a working, productive member of society? I have no idea where the time has gone! In the past year I’ve gone to San Francisco for a work trip, Jamaica for a work retreat, and Cleveland and Boston for two conferences! Thats a lot of traveling for one year of working. In between all of that I have been learning so much about working in an office, what it means to be in the marketing and video industries and life in general! I like to keep details of my job pretty vague on the blog but this is a pretty big milestone for me! So I want to share some of the wisdom I’ve gained over the past year.

2 Years of Blogging: How I Started

This time of year is always full of so many anniversaries for me! It’s been a year since I graduated, a year since my cruise (and almost getting taken), a year since I started my first full time job, 2 years since my surgery and now 2 years since I started this blog! (That was a lot of anniversaries…but you get the point…life comes at you fast.) I always like to celebrate my jaw surgery but I realized the other day that I haven’t actually made a post about when I started my blog! My blog and my jaw surgery really go hand in hand because I made “Kimbermoose” when I was in recovery. I was so bored at the time! And I had wanted to start a blog for years, but never had that amount of free time before. So as a fun little way to celebrate 2 years of my blog, here’s the scoop on how I started and the truth behind a lot of my pictures from my first blog posts. Let’s just say for now, pictures can be very misleading to an actual situation.

Vintage Halter Dress

Happy belated Memorial Day! These pictures are a little late but I do like to enjoy holidays without having to worry about putting out content. I went to Big Cork winery with a bunch of the girls just to drink a lot of wine and eat a lot of cheese. I’m calling this an inspired vintage look because of the hairclip and the cat-eye sunglasses. But the fun part about this outfit is that this dress is actually a second-hand purchase from my coworker. And I am obsessed with it! Here are some pictures from my Memorial Day (but also on a much more serious note, here is a link where you can donate to the Wounded Warrior Project in support of our veterans).

Autumn’s Bridal Shower

You may already know this, but two of my best friends are getting married in September! I met Autumn and Seth when I was an RA my sophomore year of college and Autumn asked me to be one of her bridesmaids! I am so so so excited and also so honored to be a part of their special day (I also took their engagement pics and they are some of the best pictures I have ever taken ever). Last weekend my fellow bridesmaids and I threw Autumn a bridal shower and I wanted to share some pictures (because these girls did an absolutely fabulous job and we love our girl).

Senior Cookout Throwback

So I just realized that Allison has been keeping these pictures from me! These are from last May during my Senior Cookout, which was days before graduation. I forget why I never posted them, but lately I’ve been feeling super nostalgic about last year and graduating. My friend Hannah and I send each other Snapchat memories every single day and she just moved to California so I am so so so happy I found these pictures. Those last few months of school were some of my favorite memories of college! So in the spirit of senior year and graduating and friends moving away, I’m going to kick off this blog post with the quote “don’t cry because its over, smile because it happened.”

ME! Outfit at the Walters

Words cannot describe how excited I am about this post!!! Ever since I stayed up until midnight to watch the ME! music video on April 26th, I have been obsessed with it, especially the @MoniqueLhuillier ‘Velvet Bodice Appliqué Tulle Cocktail Dress’. But you know I don’t have $5,000 just lying around so I did my best to recreate that gorgeous gown. And I asked my childhood best friend, Kayla to go on a little photo adventure with me to the Walter’s Museum in Baltimore to try to get a similar setting to the music video (check out Kayla’s photography here, she is so amazingly talented). I love recreating Taylor Swift looks (check out my Blank Space shoots here and here) and I literally cannot contain my excitement for the TS7 era (HMU if you want to talk theories because I’ve got TONS). So here is me trying to recreate some of the scenes in the music video. Hope you like them as much as I do!

Jalapeño Lime Margarita

Something I didn’t know I loved until a few month ago: spicy margaritas! It’s so weird to drink something that is both cool and hot at the same time. I first had one while I was traveling in Cleveland a few months ago but now it’s my go-to drink when I get margs with the girls (and I’ve always loved tequila). So I was at Trader Joe’s the other day and I passed these bottles of “Jalapeño Limeade” and thought to myself “OMG…I can totally make my own of those spicy margarita things with this!” So I did and here’s how I did it:
