I can't believe how fast September has gone. Hard to believe my birthday was just 4 weeks ago! It's been a good month. Nothing to really complain about. Another month down for my Monthly Motivational Monday posts. If you have missed any posts, click here to find them all.

Here is a recipe that I can't wait to try some day. I'm not a huge vegetable person but I hope this will turn me into one. It was created by Niomi Smart. She is on a self-described "plant-based diet" (vegan in other words). She made a video for this recipe using the following ingredients:

Kale
Quinoa
Chickpeas
Lentils
Half Bell Pepper
Handful of Cherry Tomatoes
Cucumber Chunks
Avocado
Lemon
Pomegranate
Coriander 
Beetroot
Baby Gem Lettuce
Chili


She is a huge inspiration for anyone. I love her style, blog, and YouTube videos. I recommend checking out her links and some of the other recipes that she features on her YouTube channel. They look amazing.

This week has been one of my easier weeks. I didn't have a lot going as far as school goes and I'm starting to post more consistently. Hopefully I can keep that up for next week as well (fingers crossed!).

Sunday is one of my favorite days. It ends my weekend on a very relaxing note and I can start preparing for a new week, which usually means I'm writing down all the things I want to accomplish that week on a post-it note and sticking it in my agenda.

Here are my favorites from this week:

1. Fifty Shades of Frozen. It's surprising how well they fit together. And I guess Frozen will never get old.
2. Peek-a-boo gone wrong. I love the little girls reaction. She's adorable.
3. This as a tattoo. It's like a heartbeat.
4. Zoella Beauty!! I'm a huge fan of her videos on YouTube and I love her new beauty line. It's not what you would expect.
5. This agenda on Design Darling. I'm obsessed and I love that each day has its own page.

I completed my first goal for my 21st year. I had my first alcoholic drink. It wasn't anything special but it's something. I mixed some orange juice with Smirnoff vodka. The reason I chose this is because I liked the name Smirnoff and I also like orange juice. I can't taste too much of a difference but there is a little kick to it. I hope to go out somewhere and order a fancy drink soon.


I got this wine glass as a birthday gift for my 18th birthday. A little too early in my opinion.

I have been obsessed with Olivia Palermo lately. I love her street style and everything else about her including her gorgeous husband! She's absolutely perfect. I wanted to showcase some of my favorite styles from her recently and in the past. I hope you enjoy!!
