In 2011, a tiny seventh-grade girl sat in her bedroom with a 10-pound Dell laptop. She had no idea of the journey she was about to embark on when she decided to start a blog. It's now seven years later, and that 5ft tall middle school girl is now 5 foot 3'' (Don't question it!), and a freshman in college.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When I began What the Clique, my grammar and fashion sense were both absolutely terrible, but I had a passion. With the love and support of my family, I have spent the past seven years making this passion a reality. I have been so fortunate to land sponsorships with brands I could have only dreamed of a few years ago. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As I've grown and matured, so has my blog. My posts began to improve little by little as I began to shape myself in the young adult I wanted to become. Now, I am only a few short months away from my 20th birthday, and it is time for a change.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I am so, so excited to announce that I finally took the plunge and decided it was time to invest in myself and in What the Clique. I hope you guys join me in transitioning from this blog to <a href="http://whattheclique.com/">Whattheclique.com</a>! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Thank you guys so much for all the love and support for these past seven years. I wouldn't be on this incredible, life-changing journey without each and every one of you. I hope that you guys take the leap with me, and visit <a href="http://whattheclique.com/">Whattheclique.com</a>! </div>

I'm almost 20. That's way too young to be thinking about anti-aging products, right? (Disclaimer: I honestly almost cry every time I admit that I'm almost 20.) According to the <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2010/07/15/fashion/15French.html" target="_blank">New York Times</a>, "A survey by the market research company Mintel found that 33 percent of French girls between 15 and 19 are already using anti-aging or anti-wrinkle creams."</span><br />

Unfortunately, my skin has given me trouble for years, and I couldn't imagine focusing on anti-aging products until I had my skin under control.

When I was first introduced to this product, I was on the fence. Was this little bottle really worth the price tag? Thankfully I found it for a discounted price at <a href="http://skinstore.com/">Skinstore.com</a> and decided to take the plunge. <i>(Sign up for their emails! They run discounts almost every week.)</i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This product takes care of my two biggest skincare concerns: anti-aging and breakouts. Right off the bat I noticed my skin tone seemed to be brighter. Which is saying a lot because my skin normally looks lifeless in the wintertime. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I wouldn't say it's a miracle product, but I definitely did see results. This little product is so powerful that it started to peel the palm of hand where I place it before applying to my face. So definitely be sure to wash your hands after! All in all, it seems that almost everyone who tries the product loves it. Results vary depending on the user, but there were little to no bad reviews. </div>

This year I teamed up with my friends, Claire and Kitty, to shoot some Valentine's Day looks! There's this cute coffee shop within walking distance from campus (<a href="http://www.idegocoffee.com/">Idego Coffee</a>), and we decided it would be the perfect shoot location. Plus, they have incredible vanilla lattes! </div>

The suitcase and weekender bag were both the prettiest shade of purple and I was obsessed! Unfortunately, both pieces have seen better days. My weekender just recently tore along the seams while I was packing for the spring semester. I'm looking for a replacement, so I'm sharing some of my favorites below...<br />

<i>Todays post is short and sweet. I wanted to take a quick moment to reflect on 2016.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rJ6ubhJuU-s/WGLYv1ePyfI/AAAAAAAAG5M/vvaLom4byno92GEVizZ7Bta3128agrdQACLcB/s1600/IMG_2727.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rJ6ubhJuU-s/WGLYv1ePyfI/AAAAAAAAG5M/vvaLom4byno92GEVizZ7Bta3128agrdQACLcB/s640/IMG_2727.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
I can't believe 2016 has come to a close. It has been one heck of a year! I can't believe how many changes have occurred in only twelve months. I graduated high school, began college, met a group of incredible friends, and experienced an equal amount of highs and lows.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
If I could freeze time, I would freeze my life in these college years and soak up every laugh, every tear, and every heartbreak. I want to remember every time I almost peed myself laughing and every tear that brought me closer to finding my happiness. I want to remember every time a guy made me feel like I wasn't good enough, and then I remember the first time I met the guy that continually puts the biggest smile on my face.<br />
<br />
I want to remember every argument I've ever had with my best friends and how we resolved it. Although awkward and upsetting at the time, it inevitably brought us closer together.<br />
<br />
I want to remember the stress I felt as I studied for my first college exams, and how I felt every fiber of my being pushing me to study one-hour longer and do one more practice problem.<br />
<br />
I want to remember the feeling of failure and how empowering it feels to pick yourself back up and move on.<br />
<br />
Although most of these things weren't ideal at the time, I never regret a moment of the learning opportunities I experienced in 2016.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Peace out 2016, and hello 2017!</div>

<b><i>Lessons I've Learned: </i></b></div>
<div>
<b><i><br /></i></b></div>
<div>
<b><i>1) </i></b></div>
<div>
Prior to college, I refused to ask for help. I saw it as a weakness and was determined to figure things out for myself. Oh boy, was I mistaken! I realized two weeks into my math course that I would not be able to pass my calculus class without a teacher. So, I sought out help. I cannot believe I previously saw this as a weakness. There is nothing that shows you take your academics more seriously than putting in the extra effort. Take that extra step to ensure you understand the material. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><i>2)</i></b></div>
<div>
My first trip back home was two month into my first semester. I was so excited to come home for the first time and have my room, my puppy, and my family. After that one trip, however, I realized how much I missed college. Although I still love coming home, I'm always eager to get back to school.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-YlTWDbkxDQI/WFg0KDnQw_I/AAAAAAAAG0Q/N6MJ8TjYI3w-viGM69-lqEE0nzWRxPPQgCLcB/s1600/IMG_1706.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-YlTWDbkxDQI/WFg0KDnQw_I/AAAAAAAAG0Q/N6MJ8TjYI3w-viGM69-lqEE0nzWRxPPQgCLcB/s640/IMG_1706.jpg" width="384" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>I still always miss this little one, though! </i></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><i>3)</i></b></div>
<div>
High school seems so far away. The importance of finding the "right" prom date, being with the "right" group of friends, or even having the "right" look now seems humorous. I sat in the parking lot of my old high school a couple nights ago and wondered why all these things were so important to me.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The longer I sat, the more memories I uncovered. I somehow baked 300 cookies the night before Valentine's day of my junior year in support of the NEDA club (the organization I was the co-president of). I did this while simultaneously surviving the homework load of senior year, and prepping to take the ACT. How? </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I guess it's all relative! At the time, all these things seemed important. The further I get away from it all, the happier I am that my high school days are behind me. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><i>4)</i></b></div>
<div>
I know I've said this a million times, but college is the perfect time to take risks and make mistakes. College is a safety net in which you can fail over and over again, and not have any serious repercussions. Take the random class that seems interesting, especially if it's outside of your major! Explore your passions. Never take no for an answer. </div>
<div>

I am so excited the holiday season is finally here! The time from Thanksgiving to New Years is my favorite time of the year. Especially this year! Spending quality time with my family has taken on a new level of importance now that I'm away at college. </div>

Every Thanksgiving, my family travels to Florida to spend a couple days together soaking up the sun. Last year we stayed at The Ritz-Carlton in Key Biscayne, Miami (<a href="http://whattheclique.blogspot.com/2015/11/warmth.html" target="_blank">see post here</a>). This year we decided to change things up and stay at the <a href="http://embassysuites3.hilton.com/en/hotels/florida/embassy-suites-by-hilton-deerfield-beach-resort-and-spa-DEEFLES/index.html" target="_blank">Embassy Suites at Deerfield Beach</a>. </div>

I can't believe it's already November! I'm sorry I've been MIA these past couple weeks. It's been a crazy month in terms of school work and events! The workload kicked into high gear the second I returned from fall break. If you want to stay up to date on my crazy life, be sure to follow me on Instagram (<a href="https://www.instagram.com/whattheclique/" target="_blank">@whattheclique</a>). </div>

<i><b>Martha's Market </b></i><br />
<i><b><br /></b></i>A couple weekend ago, I got the opportunity to help out the amazing Tricia Humphreys at Martha's Market. If you remember from previous posts (see <a href="https://whattheclique.blogspot.com/2016/07/a-week-in-review.html" target="_blank">here</a>) <a href="https://www.instagram.com/gotrocksjewelrydesign/" target="_blank">Tricia Humphreys</a> is the talented designer and owner of <a href="http://gotrocksjewelrydesign.com/" target="_blank">GotRocks Jewelry Design</a>.

<b>Skinland Farms Pumpkin Patch </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
I joined Collegiate Women in Business on an adventure to the pumpkin patch at Sinkland Farms. I don't know if you can tell from the pictures, but oh my heavens it was cold! It was about 45 degrees with the wind blowing 20 miles per hour. I was completely numb after about 15 minutes outside, but we definitely tried to make the most of the cold!<br />

I've always wanted to try a Clarisonic cleansing device, but as someone with extremely sensitive skin I was hesitant. However, after a week of testing, I am so glad I didn't allow my hesitations to get the best of me! It only takes 60 seconds to see more radiant skin.<br />

I tested out the Clarisonic Deep Pore Mia 2 set for seven days, and can honestly say it's a skin game changer. I used it twice-a-day and never experienced discomfort with my sensitive skin! I used the Mia 2 and <a href="http://www.clarisonic.com/skin-care/deep-pore-daily-facial-cleanser-CL1602.html" target="_blank">Deep Pore Daily Cleanser</a> in the morning to wash my face, and then again at night to remove my makeup. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The deep pore set includes everything you need for clear skin: Deep Pore Daily Cleanser, Deep Pore Detoxifying Clay Mask, and a Deep Pore Brush Head. All perfect for removing impurities and excess oils. The brush also includes two speeds (delicate and universal) that cleanse 6x better than hands alone. I use the delicate setting on my forehead, chin, and cheeks and universal on my nose to get rid of those pesky blackheads.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
Since I began college, my everyday routine has changed drastically. I didn't think it was possible to be so busy! There are not enough hours in the day.<br />
<br />
This was the perfect time in my life to be introduced to the Clarisonic Mia 2. No matter how exhausted I am, I only have to follow a few short and easy steps before climbing into bed with clean skin.<br />
<br />
I won't bore you with the medical details, but my skin has always been out of my control. I can try and tame breakouts, but it's more or less just a waiting game to see when my body will cooperate. Prior to Clarisonic, I've tried multiple products and never had any results. The first time I used my new Clarisonic, I could see and feel a difference. My face instantly felt smoother and my complexion was brighter. There was also an obvious difference in my makeup application. My makeup glided on flawlessly and stayed matte longer!<br />

When I think of the word love, I think of my amazing parents. They are two of the most supportive people in the world. They push me to pursue my dreams, and raised me to believe I can achieve anything in the world. <br />
<br />
On a romantic note, I can't remember the first time I realized how in love my parents are with each other. Their love was always just something I just found as normal part of life. When I was younger I found their PDA one of the most embarrassing things in the world! Until about the age of 14, every time they would kiss in front of me I would cover me eyes and go, "Gross, PG-13." (Mature, right?) However, as I've gotten older, I've come to appreciate the love they share together. I no longer see their PDA as embarrassing, but rather look for characteristics I hope to share with my future partner; my person.<br />
<br />
My parents met their freshman year of college. It is crazy because they were both younger than I am now when they first met. I think it is incredible how they've gotten to grow alongside each other for the past 27 years. Watching them for the past 19 of the 27 years of marriage, I've learned so many valuable lessons about love.<br />
<br />
<b><i>1. Don't settle for anything less than what you deserve</i></b><br />
<br />
Growing up with such loving parents, I set unrealistically high expectations of what I want in a life partner. I want marry my best friend, my rock, my protector; someone who sees hardships as an opportunity to grow together. I want someone who can see my dreams and passions, and can dream right alongside me with the same excitement for life. Life is the ultimate adventure. <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-weight: bold;">"</span>If you can dream it, you can achieve it." -Walt Disney </i></div>
<br />
<b><i>2. Compromise and work together </i></b><br />
<br />
Relationships are work. Love starts as a feeling, and grows into a choice you have to make every day. Some days are harder than others, but at the end of the day, you still choose each other. No argument is too big, no distance is too far, and no challenge is unsolvable.<br />
<br />
<b><i>3. Never go to bed angry </i></b><br />
<b><i><br /></i></b>
This is one of the lessons I have taken to heart the most. If I go to bed upset, I will more than likely wake up upset. I hate uncertainty, and if I have too much time to think on things, I'll overthink things negatively. Being able to talk through things calmly, and compromise with your partner is an important skill. It saves a lot of painful time of thinking and wondering.<br />
<br />
<b><i>4. Find your love language </i></b><br />
<br />
I think I was in middle school the first time my mom every mentioned the "love languages." Knowing how you interpret acts of love is such a powerful tool to use in any relationship. The five languages are acts of service, words of affirmation, physical touch, quality time, and receiving gifts.<br />
<br />
My love language has been the same since about sophomore year of high school: words of affirmation and quality time together. So much has changed in my life since I was 16, but this part of me has remained constant.<br />

I know that sounds dramatic, but it's true. Juggling friends, activities, blogging, and academics is really difficult when there are so many things I want to do and experience! Even as I sat down to write this post, the fire alarm went off. There are so many obstacles constantly getting in the way of productivity.<br />

With that being said, I absolutely love it here at Virginia Tech. I don't think you'd be able to find a tighter sense of community, in such a large university, anywhere else. VT is truly one of a kind! I never thought it was possible to be a part of such an awesome community. I truly do feel at home here. I think it took me all of two days to get adjusted and comfortable on campus. I'm sure it helps that my brother is on campus as well, so I get to see him regularly. That being said, I definitely miss my family and my puppy dog back home!<br />

These girls are my everything! Claire is to the right, and is the best roomie in the world. I got super lucky! We always joke that we actually don't like each other at all, and it's all just an act. Meaghan is to the left, and is the biggest extrovert I've ever met. She always knows how to make me feel better! She's definitely the mom of the group, and keeps all of us in line and out of trouble.<br />

There's just something about being all bundled up watching the leaves changing colors, and holding a hot pumpkin spice latte (don't judge, they're delicious)! I wish the weather could go from summer, to fall, and back to summer again.<br />

When I reply fashion merchandising their next question is, "Oh, how interesting. Why fashion merchandising?" The simple answer to this question? "It's what I love."<br />

When I began my fashion blog in seventh grade I was just playing around. I had no idea how big of a part of my life this blog would become. I had no idea that fashion would become a passion so powerful that I would become adamant to pursue it as a career. When I'm told that fashion is an impossible industry to succeed in I just laugh, because I know, but I don't care. I believe if you want something and are willing to put in more time and energy than is seemingly necessary, you're going to succeed.<br />

Fashion is something I want on a deeper level that just the appealing ascetics. When I feel confident in what I'm wearing, I'm a different person. My self-esteem is raised to a new level. When I'm shopping with a friend, and she looks into a full length mirror and breaks out into a huge smile, I feel accomplished.<br />
<br />
To everyone out there questioning my IQ...(Unfortunately I've run into a few already.) Yes, fashion merchandising is a real degree, and no, it's not a "dumb girl" profession. I'm in the same classes as all the business students, and have the same drive to succeed as all other overachievers. So now when people ask me, "Why fashion merchandising?" My answer will simply be, "The fashion industry is my passion, clothes are my passion, self-esteem created through clothing is my passion."Ericahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18193184598309663530noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-585275761010888958.post-44176444101633304552016-09-02T08:29:00.000-04:002016-09-02T08:29:05.740-04:00Kiss My Face Quick Dry Spray Deodorant<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">My mom has always been the biggest supporter of all natural products. Whether it's cleaning supplies, produce wash, soaps, etc... You name it, we've tried it. Although some of these all-natural products may have worked, the all-natural deodorant phase definitely did NOT work. I've tested out nearly every natural deodorant on the market, but never found a single one to be effective. As reluctant as I was, I turned to deodorants with harmful chemicals and aluminum in them for relief. I was a high school athlete, and didn't know what else to do! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "\\22 arial\\22 " , "\\22 helvetica\\22 " , sans-serif;">I decided to test the Sport Quick Dry Spray to see if it was up for the challenge of the 6+ miles I walk everyday on campus. Not only did I get to try out this new deodorant, but <a href="http://www.kissmyface.com/" target="_blank">Kiss my Face</a> was kind enough to send over some deodorants to share with my amazing roomies as well! </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: normal;">I got out of the shower and applied the Sport Quick Dry Deodorant for the first time! The scent is very subtle and smells more like soap than any overpowering fragrance. I'm definitely a fan!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: normal;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; line-height: normal;"><b><i>Thursday:</i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal;">I had a super hectic day planned on Thursday! I had class from 11-12:15, then I had to grab lunch before heading to a business school meeting from 1-2, then I had to run all the way across campus for class from 2-3:15. Not the mention the weather was HOT, and I'm a pro sweater. So gross but true... On top of this, I was wearing jeans because the buildings on campus are freezing. I did have to reapply deodorant once, but I normally have to do that with any deodorants I use. </span><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal;"><br /><b><i>Friday:</i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal;">I was pretty happy with the effectiveness of the deodorant on Friday! I wore a t-shirt and shorts which is a lot more appropriate for the summer weather. I had another hectic day running from classes to meetings, but thankfully I could rely on the Sport Quick Dry Deodorant to get through my day! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal;"><b><i>Saturday:</i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal;">The ultimate test for any deodorant is a concert. Saturday night I went to a Parachute concert with a group of friends. It was amazing! If you haven't heard of them, they're a band from my hometown of Charlottesville. The auditorium was packed and definitely a test for the new deodorant. Verdict: I stayed fresh all night! </span><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">To prove the effectiveness of this deodorant... I felt confident enough to take this selfie with the bands lead singer after the concert!</span><br />

I stayed with my brother at his apartment Monday and Tuesday night, and planned to move into my dorm on Wednesday. Of course, with my luck, nothing goes according to plan... So, what happens? As if I wasn't already stressed enough about moving into my college dorm, my brother also looses the car keys! This is the car that holds all of my dorm room belongings. Thankfully my mom is the best (Hey, Mom!) and she overnighted the keys from home. I did get to move into my dorm on Wednesday and spent the entire day unpacking! The original set of keys however are still MIA. Because I'm so scattered brained trying to adjust to college life, I'm sharing a jumbled assortment of pictures!<br />

My obsession started when I was only in the first grade. My dad would read to my brother and I every night before bed. One night that book happened to be <i>Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone</i>. Since that first night reading, I was hooked! I dreamed of Quidditch tournaments, Potions classes, and receiving my Hogwarts letter when I turned 11. Full disclosure I was disappointed when my owl from Hogwarts never arrived.<br />

<br />
I had all the books on tape, read all the books countless times, dressed up as Hermione one year for Halloween (Still looking for my Ron...), and even made my dad read the 7th book out loud on a plane the day it was released. My apologies to all the upset people around us on that plane home from Chicago! My Dad was completely making his little girl's day. (Thanks Dad! Still one of my favorite childhood memories.) When I first heard news about the <i>Harry Potter and the Cursed Child</i> script it was like I was a little kid all over again! I HAD to get a copy. When I was supposed to be packing for college, I was instead lying in my bed engrossed once again in the wizarding world.<br />

I really cannot put the book down! It's been so long since I was last read about Harry, Hermione, and Ron. It's good to be back!<br />

Today I'm collaborating with <a href="https://yoderm.com/" target="_blank">YoDerm</a>, an online platform that connects patients with U.S. board-certified dermatologists. I can't be the only teenager who has spent years in and out of the dermatologist office, different prescriptions in hand, none seeming to provide any relief. When I was introduced to YoDerm I thought, why not? I've been struggling with my skin since even before middle school, and needless to say, it's been a never-ending battle for the past 8+ years. I figured I had nothing to loose. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I was immediately intrigued, but very skeptical, about the legitimacy of an online dermatologist. After a little research (a.k.a this <a href="http://www.refinery29.com/yoderm-online-dermatology-review" target="_blank">Refinery 29</a> article as well as others) I decided to give it a try. After a $59 consultation fee you are ready to pick your doctor, and begin filling out your medical file. I was assigned to a doctor who then reviewed my profile and prescribed three different medication: one topical, and two oral. The YoDerm team even worked with me to provide coupons to make the prescriptions more affordable for my college student budget. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><i>Pros: </i></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><i><br /></i></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
YoDerm is the perfect resource for any busy student who is constantly on-the-go. I chose a dermatologist, created a medical profile, and received my treatment plan all with in 24 hours, and all without having to leave my house! I had an overall great experience with YoDerm. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><i>Cons: </i></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
There is really only one con I can think of, and this is true for any medication prescribed from any dermatologist: check the list of side effects that go along side your prescription! Better safe than sorry. As I'm heading off to college, I decided I wasn't going to take one of the oral prescriptions. There was a long list of side effects associated, as well as necessary blood work to ensure things are working properly. Things I definitely won't want to deal with my first month of college! When I am home for a month over winter break, however, I may reconsider.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

The weather in New York City always falls into two categories: unbearable hot, or as cold as the arctic. This summer was the first time in two years I haven't spent the summer at LIM college, and experienced the unexplainably hot weather. I love New York City and felt like a piece of my summer was lacking without a quick trip. So, before returning home to complete college packing, I made a quick day trip into the city. Two things I totally forgot about: summer heat and other city summer necessities. </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b style="font-style: italic;">Deodorant: </b>Ok, guys I'm sorry but this is an absolute necessity in the summer heat! When the subway is standing room only and you're 5'2, the ride is a little extra uncomfortable. Armpits in your face coming at every which angle is not fun! Always have an emergency stick of deodorant. There's no shame! I always carry around my emergency deodorant and it has saved me countless times. Us short people thank you! </div>

<b><i>Hand sanitizer:</i></b> I forgot my bottle of hand sanitizer on my most recent trip into the city and felt absolutely disgusting!

Every summer my family travels down to the Buggs Island Lake for a week filled with boating and sunshine. There is no place in the world more relaxing! My packing list is only ever a handful of items: a swimsuit, <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/ray-ban-59mm-semi-rimless-aviator-sunglasses/3149368?origin=keywordsearch-personalizedsort&fashioncolor=BROWN%2F%20PINK" target="_blank">sunglasses</a>, <a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.target.com%2Fp%2Fwomen-s-pajama-set-fluid-knit-ebony-gilligan-o-malley%2F-%2FA-50635293&pid=uid2025-24698205-21" target="_blank">pajamas</a>, <a href="http://kissmyface.com/natural-sun-care-sunscreen/item/116/Sun-Spray-Lotion-SPF-30" target="_blank">sunscreen</a>, and a beach towel. That's really all you ever need! This year my sunscreen not only included sun care for my skin, but also for my hair as well. If you read <a href="http://whattheclique.blogspot.com/2016/05/cabana-cream.html" target="_blank">this post</a> in May, I introduced <a href="http://www.cabanacreams.com/" target="_blank">Cabana Cream</a> a leave in hair conditioner that protects again the sun. This time around I was lake bound with this amazing product! </div>

This product smells absolutely incredible! The first time I opened the package, I was hit with the scent of paradise. I just stood in my kitchen smelling the bottle for a good three minutes. No joke! That's just how yummy this product smells. </div>

Growing up I was always "that kid." The kid at snack time who would pull out organic apple slices while my classmates pulled out fruit roll-ups, goldfish, or brownies. Those options seemed far more appealing to my middle school self! The older I get however, the more thankful I am for being raised around healthy foods. As funny as the title of this post sounds, you really can eat your way to healthy. A healthier lifestyle, healthier skin, and an overall healthier you!</div>

I always start my morning with the same oatmeal breakfast: instant oats, dark chocolate chips, and blueberries. My mom also follows the same oatmeal routine except she also adds chia seeds, hemp seeds, buckwheat groats, walnuts, and cinnamon to top it all off. </div>
