Popsicle Sewing Top

Summer Tag!

Hey beauties! Since many of you are already enjoying summer, I thought I'd do a Summer Tag! I'd love to see your answers in the comments! Enjoy!

xoxo Morgan

1. Hot or cold? 

I definitley prefer hot, because you can do anything you want inside or outside then just go somewhere that has Air Conditioning!

2. What's your favorite season?

I sort of consider Christmas a season, so I'd definitely have to go with that, however Summer is my favorite actual season. 

3. Beach or pool?

This totally depends on my mood! If I'm super active on a certain day I'd probably choose the pool but if I'm feeling lazier, I love to just hang out on the sand.

4. What's your favorite summer activity?

I love swimming! It's always so thrilling to take that first summer dip. 

5. What is your ideal summer outfit?

I love wearing a bathing suit everyday no matter what my plans are because I'll end up needing it. WIth that I pair a light summer dress or high waisted shorts and a cute top.

6. Shorts or skirts?

Both! My favorite bottoms for summer are denim shorts and light, cotton skirts.

7. What's and item that you have to have in the summer?

Bandeaus! I can't get enough of them this year, bathing suits or lace.

8. Are you going on vacation?

I am not going on vacation, however I would absolutely love to go to Disneyworld. Somedays when I'm longing for Disneyworld I spend an hour planning a pretend vacation down to the minutes and cents.

9. Are you a sunglasses person?

Absolutely, I love sunglasses. In particular, I am an aviators person because I feel like they fit my face the best.

10. Favorite summer food?

Watermelon, s'mores, and ice cream!

11. Favorite summer drink?

Shirley Temple!

12. Have you ever gone water skiing or tubing?

I always go on my cousins' boat in the summer and they are always tubing and water skiing, but I am really scared of both! I love just jumping off the boat though.

13. What's your favorite makeup product in the summer?

MAC cremesheen lipglass in Richer Lusher. So moisturizing after being in the hot sun and a beautiful color.

14. What's your favorite clothing item for summer?

I think just bathing suits, since you can't just wear them around any time of the year like you can in the summertime. I love mixing and matching and finding cute patterns!

My Favorite Organization Photos

I love the idea of using a muffin tin to organize smaller items! This would work great with kids' toys, jewelry, or craft supplies!

If you're looking to redo your pantry, refer to A Bowl Full of Lemons for this chalkboard basket idea.

How cool is this makeup organizer??? I love the idea of picking my own frame and design and customizing it like this! 

I am in love with this tin can organization idea! The items all fit perfectly inside, and clean up is so easy!

If your sock drawer is a mess, consider a separator! You can purchase cardboard separators or make your own. 

Hope you're inspired to organize!

What's on my iPhone?

Hey everyone! Hope you all are having a great day! Today I'm going to take you through what's on my iPhone. Let me know what's on yours!

This is my current iPhone case, Ugotta Regatta by Lilly Pulitzer.

Now, here are my apps. I'll leave out the standard ones, but here are the others:

WCVB- I love this app for checking the weather radar when a thunderstorm is expected. 

Pandora- I love listening to Pandora, especially when I'm cleaning!

Pinkberry- This app is so cool, when you're ordering at Pinkberry all you have to do is give them a code that pops up and you earn points!

Chipotle- I love this app because you can order instantly from Chipotle!

Scoops/Sky Burger- For some reason I always play these games when I'm nervous for something. It just calms me down. 

DataMan- This app is really good at tracking my data usage. So helpful!

Light- I never thought this flashlight app would come in so handy. I love it!

Daily Pun- I love puns. These ones aren't typically very good, but they still make me laugh every time.

Vineyard Vines Nail Tutorial

Hello everyone! Today I'm going to show you my nail care routine and this adorable Vineyard Vines inspired nail tutorial. Let me know what you think! 

Xoxo Morgan

 
Here is my weekly nail care routine as well as the colors needed for this tutorial. I cut, file, buff, and apply a cuticle oil to my nails each week.

 

Make sure all old nail polish is removed before you apply a base coat.

Paint your nails using a variety of colors. Be sure to let this dry!

Paint the first shapes onto the nails. I use a toothpick taped to an unsharpened pencil and dip it into the polishes.

After that has dried, just add the details and a shiny top coat. 

And that's it! 

Summer Hairstyles

Happy Friday everyone! Hope you all made it though this week, I finally made it to the beach! Now that it's unofficially summer, here are a few go-to summer hair looks for whatever you have planned! Enjoy!

For those hot summer days where effort is out of the question, I tend to go for just my natural waves. I find it odd that this girl is trying to brush hers out though! Tip: use a wide tooth comb to smooth out tangles and give a soft finish.

For a girly relaxed look try this messy braid. I love how its curled at the end! Tip: never braid tightly, because it will break your hair and give you a headache! 

If you're looking for a more formal look, try this ombré fishtail. I love how the fishtail goes from big to small and light to dark. Tip: start with straight hair for a sleek finish.

I adore this braided updo. It appears that the bow is braided in with the updo, so cute! Tip: make sure your hair doesn't bump at the crown while you're creating the look. Use a styling serum to volumize and thicken.

Ombre Watercolor Cards/Stationary

Hey everyone! It's finally Thursday! Here's a few easy watercolor projects I've been working on. Sorry for the horrible lighting and blurry photos!
