Favorite Things

 {Target jacket, B&N Snowy the Owl, B&N typewriter journal, H&M teacup mug, 

Be A Bombshell lip crayon in Hot Damn*, A Closet Full bracelet, American Eagle beanie,

The Container Store Sticky Memo Roll & Christmas Tree Shop striped scarf}

*From my November Ipsy Glam Bag

I need to rave about this jacket because it's petite sizing, so the sleeves actually hit at my wrist and the length is perfect. How did I not realize that Target has petite size clothing? Now this solidifies my love for the store even more!

Also, I love this sticky memo roll. In order to keep my sanity, I write notes to myself on sticky notes, but what I love about this memo roll is that I can rip as much or as little paper as I need. Sometimes I only need to remember two or three things, other times seven. Plus, the whole thing is sticky instead of just the top, so it lays down flat. 

The biggest thing that I'm excited about right now? I FINISHED MY THESIS! A few days ago, I decided to put all my chapters together to see how many pages I have (I need 150 pages to graduate) since I have to turn it in on December 9th. I had a minor freak out when I realized I only had 135 pages. But then a friend told me to change the margins. For some reason, it's supposed to be 1.5" but I'm fine with that since it bumped it up to 169. Mission accomplished!

I finished my graduate school thesis!! I made it to 150 pages! So I celebrated with a @SUBWAY sandwich!

 The other presents I got myself (besides the Subway sandwich) were an Urban Decay 

Revolution lipstick in Rush and a Sephora Collection Event Palette.
