Up N' Out

The sporadic thoughts of a blue-eyed, coffee lovin', college student.

New Year

I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes.

Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You’re doing things you’ve never done before, and more importantly, you’re Doing Something.

So that’s my wish for you, and all of us, and my wish for myself. Make New Mistakes. Make glorious, amazing mistakes. Make mistakes nobody’s ever made before.

Don’t freeze, don’t stop, don’t worry that it isn’t good enough, or it isn’t perfect, whatever it is: art, or love, or work or family or life.

  Whatever it is you’re scared of doing, Do it.

Make your mistakes, next year and forever.

Top 5 Winter Vices

1. Starbucks Creme Brulee Latte- I bow down to whoever thought it was a good idea to throw flavors of a decadent dessert into coffee. Props.

2. OPI Lincoln Park After Dark- The perfect blend of purples. Colorful enough to make me satisfied, dark enough to make it a winter statement.

3. Burt’s Bees Chapstick with Honey- Come this time of year my poor lips are crying for moisture. Thank you Mr. Bees. 

4. VS PINK Yoga Pants- Pretty enough to make a statement, casual enough to take a nap.

5. Nivea Smooth Sensation Lotion- Shea butter: enough said.


Love this holiday gift idea. All you need is a balloon, glue, and several cloth doilies. Chic, affordable and super simple. Could not ask for much else!

Never gets old.

Never gets old.
