Confessions of a Blogger Tag

hey there! 

I have been tagged by the wonderful Meghan of Mainly Meghan to do the Confessions of A Blogger Tag

Have you had any past online presence before? (Other blog, youtube, ect.)

I had a blog when I lived in Florida and did triathlons. It was super fun, and I even had professional triathletes reading my blog;) 

i stopped that blog eventually though, because I moved to Kentucky and stopped racing in triathlons 

here's the link if you're interested in checking it out 

Why did you start a blog?

I started the preppy diaries because I was stuck at home with mono. I was stuck at home doing nothing except reading blogs and watching tv. 

i decided that i wanted to do something useful with my time and that's why I started! 

When did you become serious about starting a blog?

I honestly don't know the answer to this question. 

i just blog because it's something I love doing! 

What was your first post?

my first post was a super embarrassing introduction. 

i had no idea what to write so i kept it nice and short 

What has been your biggest challenge about blogging?

I think my biggest challenge about blogging would have to be not comparing myself to others.

I'm not sure why I do it, but i constantly compare myself to other bloggers.

Where do you see your blog in 1 year?

I have no idea. Is that horrible? 

i just hope that i'm having fun and inspiring people

What is the most rewarding thing to you about blogging?

I love the fact that I have met some of the sweetest girls through blogging!!

I also love that I have been able to interact with brands! 

What is the most discouraging thing that happens to you?

So far I haven't been discouraged. 

well, i take that back. 

sometime I get so discouraged when i don't have any inspiration for a post 

What's your lasting inspiration or motivation?

Pinterest.

my crib : room tour

 i am a slob. 

that is the reason i have yet to post a room tour. 

but guess what? I cleaned my room! 

today's the day i finally show you what my room looks like! 

 *picture heavy post*

 Yes, I do still sleep with stuffed animals. And no, I'm not embarrassed by it. 

MY ROOM : 

This is the half of my rom that my bed is on. 

Another picture, but this one is looking in from my door.

 This is the other half of my room. 

The shelves are pretty messy, but that alright, right? 

The door next the the shelves on the left is the door to my closet. It's super tiny, and super messy so you don't really want to see inside;)

 This is my vanity. It used to be my desk, but I started to do homework on my bed. And I started accumulating too much make-up so I needed more storage! 

This is my fireplace. I've never actually used it, but I might use it sometime this winter! 

A close up of the dresser on the left side of my bed.

A few inspirational pictures to the left of my dresser.

My goal is to cover this entire wall with cute and inspirational photos. I have a long way to go, but I think it can be done! (If you want a close up picture of this wall, let me know!)

A close up of my bedside table. 

 The black things above my bedside table are actually stickers with pockets! In the top one I keep photo booth pictures. In the middle on I keep old concert tickets. And in the bottom one I just have boring drivers ed stuff! 

And lastly, here's my desk. I know it's pretty small, but I'm obsessed with it. It's so cute, and modern. I do all my online school work here (post about that coming soon). I love my chair because it swivels and goes up and down, but it's pretty uncomfortable to sit in all day while doing school work. I'm looking for a new one that's affordable, but until then..

Well, there you go, that's my room! If you have any questions about where anything is from or what something is, don't hesitate to leave a comment!

sleepover movies!

even though summer is starting to wind down, i have just been craving a good movie! i've put together a little list called "sleepover movies" (creative i know, no need to tell me), and they are pretty much my top movies that i've either watched at a sleepover or just with a friend! i think they are all around funny, cute, and sweet which makes the perfect summer/sleepover movie! i honestly don't like watching depressing movies (although i do like reading depressing books -- kinda weird), so these movies are just fun happy ones! i hope you like this list! 

let me know your top favorite fun movie! or five, because i've got time;)

thanks for reading!!

jacob latimore

hey ya'll! yesterday my mom and i went to cover the Mindless Behavior concert in my hometown! well technically we were covering jacob latimore. and omg he is amazing! he was one of the opening acts for mindless behavior and we seriously think he is going to be huge! not only does he sing, but he is an AMAZING dancer and he also acts! if you want to see the interview and some of the pictures i took of him during his performance then click here. jacob is honestly one of the most down to earth and sweetest people, and i hope that he gets to live his dream and become a huge popstar! 

so yesterday after the concert my mom and i went back to our house to write the article about jacob and get the pictures downloaded and edited. as soon as we got home though, we realized that our power was out. no power means no internet, no light, and no air conditioning. so we hauled ourselves back into the car and headed out to the local coffee shop to get the article written! 

when i was at the coffee shop, i felt so official. just doing my thang blogging and such. usually in the movies they perceive bloggers as the type of people that take their laptop to computers and blog, so i just felt so cool;) 

anyway, here's my outfit and me with jacob! 

sorry its blurry! 

my dress is from top shop and my shoes are from the brand cooie 

ignore my awkward posture

this is his song called "nothing on me"

thanks for reading!

what to wear to a music festival

i honestly am one of the most unmusical people i know. i don't have ny rhythm, i can't sing, and don't play any instruments (even though i've tried countless times). with that being said, there was a music festival in my town this weekend and i loved seeing what everyone was wearing. even though i didn't go, i did get to drive by and i have also seen pictures on Facebook. although music festivals usually attract people with completely different styles than what i wear, i still look up to what "music festival goers" wear! i've decided to put together a little look book of what i would wear to a music festival if 1. i go to one in the future and 2. if i stepped out of my comfort zone and wear something other than a navy and blue striped t with chinos.
