<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Well, its been a long time since I've posted on this little blog of mine but I thought it was high-time. Actually I've been thinking a lot about goals and New Years Resolutions since imagine that, it's January 3rd! I'm not a huge fan of resolutions but I think it's important to set a few goals every now and then. I learned this practice while at Camp Greystone and have tried to instill it ever since. Now it can be very difficult to keep track of your goals but what better way to do so then record them on the internet? (lolz, it's definitely 2017.) I started a 101 in 1001 list (a la Mackenzie Horan) and while it was fun to do, I felt my goals were too specific and didn't translate well as my life changed dramatically since I originally wrote the list. With that said, I've compiled my 2017 goals below. Some are new, some are taken from my 101 in 1001 list, but they're new goals to me nonetheless!</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Exercise 3 times a week</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Read 3 books a month (for a minimum total of 36 total books this year) and keep a record.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Make 10 p.m. my regular bedtime and wake up consistently between 6-7 a.m. everyday.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Find and secure a full-time job in my desired field.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Travel to 1 new place. My top 2 choices include Washington D.C. and Chicago.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Establish my calligraphy business.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Go camping with friends or my dad.</span></li>
</ul>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">"How lovely it is to be all here, to be where your feet are. How sweet it is."</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">A friend of mine shared this piece of wisdom with be about a year ago and I've been ruminating on it since. In a world constantly moving, changing, going, doing - just </span><i style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">being</i><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> where you are is basically impossible. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I recently moved to a new city (Nashville, TN to be exact) and everyday is constant battle to <i>be</i> where I am and enjoy life. Everyone warns you about post-grad life but until you actually experience it, you never truly understand it. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">These past couple of months have been whirlwind. Days filled with loneliness, heartache, joy, excitement, discovery, adventure, and clumsiness. After safely working at a camp all summer, I was thrust into the scary unknown in late August and have been attempting to deal with the repercussions. Those first couple of weeks insisted of moving into an apartment for the first time, starting a brand new job, learning to live with a new roommate/friend, and settling into a new city. It's been a process that has unexpectedly worn me out physically, mentally, and emotionally. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I had a professor once tell me that life never really slows down and he is correct, except for me it's more of a roller coaster of emotions.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Anyway, after weeks of riding this roller coaster, I decided to challenge myself. This past week I woke up everyday after 6 AM to have 30 minutes of quiet time with the Lord. And let me tell ya, it wasn't easy. It also wasn't as hard as I thought, either. I found myself longing for that time with my Father. It filled a pre-existing void that I had been ignoring since I moved. A void perpetuated by thinking I can do everything by myself. Boy oh boy was I wrong. This past week, God reminded me that I am weak but He is strong. He is merciful, loving, and kind. God longs not only to fill these voids but fill every aspect to the brim and without abandon. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">So here I am, today. Sunday: my favorite day of the week. I finally reclaimed it after college (no more homework for me) and am now given the freedom to <i>be </i>on this day. Today specifically, I was reminded to "<i>be where your feet are</i>." To stop looking ahead or behind, to what's next or the next best thing. But to be where God has planted me in this moment. A sweet, sweet reminder that God is here. He is always here and if I listen, He will guide my path.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

But not just any summer, my first one post-grad. Yes, I graduated from the beautiful Rhodes College this past Saturday and could not be more proud, excited, and overwhelmingly scared. Many, many emotions fill my body each day when I remember what I've accomplished and what I've left. Alas, it would take days for me to label them much less, explain them. There is no possible way to describe being forced to leave a place you love with your whole heart and friends who are your life. The only thing consoling me currently is my favorite season: summer. I feel like as women we constantly try to classify our favorite season. Sounds silly, but to any woman reading this you know you've had a similar conversation with your girlfriends. For me, I'm incredibly indecisive and constantly change my answer. But, one thing stays the same: I love summer. I love the hot breeze, the blaring but radiant sun, and the sweat constantly dripping down your back. There's something in the air that I can never place but I always think, "Summer has arrived, and I feel at home." When you leave your air conditioned homes you are confronted with the smell of grass and honeysuckle tainted by the steaming heat. A breeze is rarely enjoyable, when they even come, but only moves the hot air around. But, there is something promising about this season. To me, and it has been this way since I was a child, summer means freedom. You look up and see the blue sky dotted with white clouds, you look down and see the bright green of freshly cut grass. When my bare feet touches the hot pavement I feel alive. It is the feeling of home, possibility, and freedom. This feeling has faded a little over the years but I don't think it will ever go away. My heart thrives on hot, Alabama summers and would be heartbroken if I never got to experience one again. Alas, I'm growing older but not too old. This summer I will spend it in North Carolina, again, at a summer camp that has my heart. That place too, is nothing short of wonderful in totally different ways. But there is something about Alabama and its interaction with summer that excites and relieves me. It will always be there to welcome me home when it arrives in May. Happy summer, friends.</span>Sarah Katherinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03264249382500373593noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28670898968517862.post-31278427560478353992015-05-02T16:13:00.004-05:002015-05-02T16:13:39.518-05:00Life<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Y'all. I am a sucker for interviews. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">If you haven't already noticed, I'm obsessed with behind-the-scenes looks and home tours. I love them because they're personal. Intimate. Real. And even though thousands of people read the interviews too, I somehow feel like I'm the only one who has and I'm now "in" with the celebrity or ridiculously talented individual it portrays. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This time was no exception. I <i>adore</i> <a href="http://www.thecoveteur.com/" target="_blank">The Coveteur's </a>candid nature of their interviews and closet raids and <a href="http://www.thecoveteur.com/bobbi-brown-2015/" target="_blank">Bobbi Brown</a> definitely impressed. First, I have been on a skincare/makeup kick these days as my own 'protective barrier' has been at odds with what <i>I</i> want. Does that ever happen to you? It feels as if your skin is ganging up on you. Anyways, I loved the inside look at Ms. Brown's skincare, makeup, and fashion routines. She is effortless, cool, sexy, and confident - who wouldn't want to be her?! Here are a couple of my favorite snapshots and products from the shoot I'm itching to try!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">How I love thee. This has turned into quite a hobby for me and I LOVE being able to doodle on a daily basis, if time allows. I have fallen in love with letters, fonts, cursive, calligraphy, the way the pen moves... So many things about this I love. I'm hoping to improve my skills and actually do something with this one day. Thoughts?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">If you look to your left, you will find the section labeled "Daily Reads." What are those, you ask? These are the blogs I check daily (or at least try to). I've been a fan of blogs for many, many years and have always had a tab at the top of my browser labeled "Blogs." These are my happy place each day. I read them, soak in the content, and am often inspired to write myself. The blogs in that section have changed tremendously over the course of the years. Originally, I only focused on fashion blog but now as I've grown and my tastes have changed, I've found myself enjoying blogs with more comprehensive subjects. Interior design and decorating blogs are my new favorite but in reality, I like blogs that are real. Ones that speak to me on another levels besides the visual and aesthetically pleasing. Because of that I thought I would share with you what my Daily Reads and why I read them. Maybe you'll find some new favs yourself!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I'm going to hop on the blogger train and say: I want, no, <i>need</i> these loafers. The whole collection is absolutely wonderful and witty which you can check out <a href="http://modaoperandi.com/moticons-del-toro-x-alison-lou-ss15?utm_medium=Linkshare&utm_source=Linkshare&utm_content=QFGLnEolOWg&siteID=QFGLnEolOWg-We3DaQHQiTihulahAVqQ1Q" target="_blank">here</a> on M'oda 'Operandi. But my absolute favorite are the ones pictured above: <a href="https://www.blogger.com/"><span id="goog_901617860"></span>#drunkinlove<span id="goog_901617861"></span></a>. I am a huge Beyoncé fan and I would love to show off how much I love then, where else - my feet. Although this purchase will not happen anytime soon I can't help but dream. Drunk in love, indeed.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So the image above is not mine, it's the ever-fabulous <a href="http://cupcakesandcashmere.com/" target="_blank">cupcakes and cashmere.</a> But I absolutely LOVED what she posted in October about <a href="http://cupcakesandcashmere.com/series-stories/8-things-every-happy-woman-should-have" target="_blank">"8 Things Every Happy Woman Should Know."</a> Isn't it wonderful? Now happy is a weird term and some of the things above seem trivial. But what I think Emily was trying to get at was <i>knowing yourself.</i> Knowing what makes you happy, brings you joy, what you don't like, being satisfied with spending time with yourself, and so on. This spoke to me at a time when I'm intensely trying to figure my life out as I'm about to graduate. I am far from knowing myself perfectly so my "8 Things" are still incomplete, I'm working away. Will share soon!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I am constantly wishing to do more of this: sitting, being, drinking coffee, and relaxing.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">When I get the change, my favorite part of the day is to drink coffee in an <i>actual</i> mug and meditate on the day ahead. A little peace before the storm of doing, doing, doing. Do you have a favorite daily tradition like this? What is it and do you even have the chance to do it?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">For some reason, this is a common question in the fashion world. It is thought that every woman can classify herself as one or the other. At first I was like, <i>what no</i>, I can't classify myself based on that. I love BOTH of those things. Then this year happened and I was totally changed. <i>Bags</i>. Bags are definitely my thing. This was reinforced by my birthday in August, when I received two beautiful purses from my parents, one of my choosing and the other a surprise. It's like my mother just <i>knew</i>. Don't get me wrong, I still love shoes. And jewelry and clothes. But, I seem to branch out and express my personality the most in my purses. So here we are, I've gathered a round up of my favorite bags: ones I love and already own to a few lust worthy options we can dream of.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So I have been on a boot hunt lately, trying to find the perfect new boots for this season. After tearing my boots up abroad and a brutal winter, it was time for some new kicks. I love a challenge but let me tell ya, finding the perfect boot is tough. Especially when you have exactly what you want in your mind. The black leather Madewell boots above were my ideal (and I bought them) but had some hesitation due to comfort. Nevertheless, I couldn't find anything similar so I am slowly wearing them in, hoping they will be more comfortable as time goes on! And since I was thinking about shoes so much, I thought it would be nice to produce a round-up of fall/winter shoes that I have loved in the past. I have not owned every single one of the shoes above but have had something similar that I have loved. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I'm handing out my Weekend Links a little early this week because I have a super busy weekend (which starts on Thursday nights) because it is HOMECOMING! If any of you readers went to a small college you probably know that this is one of the biggest weekends all year and I being a senior, know lots of fun alumni coming back into town who I can't wait to see! I might get around to posting tomorrow, though. We shall see. Anyway, this week, month, and school year have been one big blur and I don't know how to deal. Senior year is flying and sometimes it seems silly so post on this blog when I should be spending time with friends (and studying too I guess). I was awarded too many free moments this week so here I am again. I hope you enjoy! Happy weekend!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Exactly</i> what I've been meaning to do: <a href="http://www.designsponge.com/2014/10/we-cleaned-out-our-pinterest-closet.html" target="_blank">a Pinterest cleaning spree</a>. When you have over 6,000 pins, how can any of them be useful if it takes so long to find what you need??</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I. Die. The most <a href="http://www.cocokelley.com/2014/10/one-room-inspiration-a-bold-jewel-box/" target="_blank">perfect room</a> I've ever seen, I think. I would change the art but what more can you love about the teal, hot pink, and prints galore.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><a href="http://victoriamcginley.com/2014/10/09/over-the-knee-boots-for-every-budget/" target="_blank">Over-the-knee-boots</a>. Thoughts? We had a pair returned at work and I naturally tried them on. And naturally I felt in love but don't have $100-200 to spend on boots.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Doesn't this make you want to drop everything and fly to <a href="http://blog.anthropologie.com/post/98480911624" target="_blank">Prague</a>??</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Hey friends! Happy Friday! I'm overjoyed at the sight of today because my family is coming into town for Parent's Weekend and I couldn't be happier. Sigh. Even though I have neglected homework (it doesn't <i>really</i> matter when something isn't exactly due soon, right?), I've cleaned my place and ready to go for family time and good food! Before your weekend commences, here are a few links to entertain you. Enjoy!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-small;"><i><a href="http://dustjacketattic.tumblr.com/post/64722270670/pink-lips-eyeliner-petrakarlsson" target="_blank">image</a></i></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I've been thinking about my makeup and skincare situation lately and haven't been too excited with what I have. I thought, well, I'll introduce a couple new products and update the old. That was until I read <a href="http://theeverygirl.com/7-beauty-products-worth-the-splurge" target="_blank">this</a> incredibly informative article on The Every Girl. Y'all. I need help. Apparently I have been doing it all wrong for a couple years now and since I am only a mere college student, I have to be selective in the process of what it necessary and worth splurging on. I'll chronicle my ideas below:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1. Bronzer</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>What I have been doing:</b> ELF bronzer/blush duo</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>What I need to be doing</b>: <a href="http://www.sephora.com/bareminerals-ready-bronzer-P307009?skuId=1396209&om_mmc=aff-linkshare-redirect-QFGLnEolOWg&c3ch=Linkshare&c3nid=QFGLnEolOWg&affid=QFGLnEolOWg-LnpFXYPa89z7BXiRmG2vUQ" target="_blank">bareMinerals READY Bronzer</a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">2. Washing my face</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>What I have been doing</b>: Oh lord, I could write a book. I love the face wash I am currently on, <a href="http://www.clinique.com/product/1669/5615/Skin-Care/Acne/Clear-Skin-Starter-Kit/Acne-Solutions-Clear-Skin-System-Starter-Kit" target="_blank">Clinique's Acne Solutions</a> wash and toner. But I'm lacking in a scrub.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>What I need to be doing</b>: <a href="http://www.skinstore.com/p-14307-Clarisonic-Mia-1-Sonic-Cleansing-System--Pink.aspx?&affiliatecode=cj_CS027&PID=4441350&SID=~2vHba--1077042946&CA_6C15C=495702928" target="_blank">Clarisonic</a>, apparently. Or I want to try <a href="http://www.sephora.com/sonic-system-purifying-cleansing-brush-P388708?skuId=1639350" target="_blank">Clinique's version</a>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">3. Makeup brushes</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>What I have been doing</b>: Various assortment</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>What I need to be doing:</b> Clean the ones I have and invest in ones like these: <a href="http://www.sephora.com/bareskin-perfecting-face-brush-P385437?skuId=1600360&om_mmc=aff-linkshare-redirect-QFGLnEolOWg&c3ch=Linkshare&c3nid=QFGLnEolOWg&affid=QFGLnEolOWg-ZY3XJ_inkxjOHVFEfz0tIA" target="_blank">bareSkin foundation brush</a>, <a href="http://www.sephora.com/pro-allover-powder-brush-61-P313042?skuId=1419811&om_mmc=aff-linkshare-redirect-QFGLnEolOWg&c3ch=Linkshare&c3nid=QFGLnEolOWg&affid=QFGLnEolOWg-VnFrWiT.ZZoJ0_Qk35OuGA" target="_blank">Sephora powder brush</a>, and <a href="http://www.sephora.com/pro-airbrush-blush-brush-54-P378256?icid2=SHN_CheekTakeover_SCProAirbrush54_SkuGrid_P378256_link" target="_blank">Sephora blush brush</a>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So tell me, what is your makeup routine? Any tips, tricks, or products I need to know about?</span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Hi, welcome (or welcome back) to my blog. If you haven't noticed, I took a rather long leave of absence for the month of August and early September with no warning. I'm here to say: I'm not sorry. I kept writing and rewriting the first post back in my head and the first words were always: I'm sorry. Well, to be honest I'm not. I needed the break to focus on my life outside of the internet. This past month has been a month of changes, experiences, and positive decisions. To put it broadly, I began my senior year of college and I wanted to focus 100% on my relationships in the flesh for a while. Let me tell you, it was worth it. I have never laughed so much in my entire life in the past two weeks: <i>best friends are just plain good for your soul.</i> This break allowed God to slip back into my life and remind me where I am <i>right now</i>. I am a student, a friend, a leader, and a follower of Christ. Those are four things I have chosen (actually, just now) to focus on this semester. That being said, I am hoping to continue to post on Gals + Grace because I do love it. The posts will definitely become less frequent as I hope to post more genuine and original content, something I have definitely struggled with in the past. Now, thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for taking the time to read this. It means the world to me, no matter how many views or comments I receive. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
