Guest Post: Making a Statement

This was supposed to post while I was away!

Hey, y’all! I’m Gabbi from North Shore Prep!

Here’s a little secret: I absolutely hate going without jewelry. In fact, earrings are the first things I put on in the morning, right when I get out of bed, so I don’t forget. Take a second and think about the jewelry you wear. Can you, like me, think of three or four pieces you wear almost daily? Don’t get me wrong, I love my classic and dependable pearl studs, watch, and single strand pearl necklace as much as the next girl. As funny as it sounds, those are the pieces that comfort me, that I feel almost incomplete without.

But sometimes, I get a little bored with my usual jewelry picks. Those are the times I throw on a simple sweater and jeans or chinos and let a dramatic necklace like these do all the work for me.

I love this necklace from Kate Spade! Definitely splurge-worthy.

More from Kate Spade! They really know their statement necklaces, even if they are kind of pricey.

My favorite statement necklace is from Hot Mama, and I can always count on them to have really cute and relatively inexpensive pieces!

Right now, I’m loving this one! The fun tangerine color is perfect for spring!

Bauble Bar has every style of statement necklace you could possibly imagine. I guarantee you that you will find something there that catches your eye!

I love this pearl statement necklace. It makes me think of my daily strand kicked up a couple dozen notches.

I also love this delicate statement necklace from Bauble Bar!

Guest Post: Health and Fitness

This was supposed to post while I was away!

Hey everyone! I’m Christina from Prep International!

So, only a few more months till summer;  I can’t wait, as I’ve been working on my health and fitness to get me ready for the warm sunshine days (Hopefully, with the weather here in Canada, who knows?)

Here are a few of the steps I’ve taken.

Running in the evenings during the school days; and morning on the weekends.  It is important to balance out school work and days that you’re free on Saturday. Meaning, on school days, I finish the day’s work, then only after I’m done do I get to go on my run/walk. And on the weekends, I have the rest of the mornings, afternoon, and evening to finish assignments and projects; so I run/walk for about 30 minutes and enjoy nature and fresh air!

Making better choices.

No Wendys or any fast food at all. I recommend treating yourself only at the end of the month. It’s up to you.  

Drinking more water. 

Doing little exercises everyday , even if it’s just participating in sports or riding your bike to the store. 

Try your best and remember : 

Have fun!
