Erin Condren Life Planner

I'm in love with my Erin Condren planner!

Hello everyone!
I know I haven't posted a blog post in so long and I am so sorry about that. I am currently in my last week of summer so I'm trying to make the most of it! I seriously can't believe I'll be starting my senior year next Tuesday. As much as I am nervous, I am extremely excited to see what this year has in store.
Anyways, I've recently become obsessed with something new... planners! I know it's kinda crazy but it's actually a thing right now. I've become obsessed with watching 'Plan With Me' videos and such on YouTube, and I finally splurged and bought my very own Erin Condren planner! I am honestly obsessed with it, it's so beautiful. I can't wait to start decorating it... I already have decorated the first three weeks of September because I was so excited! I can't wait to do more spreads and I will definitely share them on here when I have the time.
Well I hope you all are having a wonderful summer! Till next time. -Kersten

One of the spreads I already started working on

And made my own dashboard! I'm absolutely in love

My Current Obsession

Hello everyone!
I know I made one of these recently but like I said in my previous post, my obsession list has been growing. Recently, I have become obsessed with planners/agendas. I absolutely love them and I cannot wait until mine comes in the mail. I ordered a Lily Pulitzer agenda because I just think they are adorable. I just want to try one out and see how I like it before I purchase an Erin Condren agenda. Which I'm really hoping to! Along with the planners I have been loving watching YouTube videos on them. A lot of the ones that I watch are called "Plan With Me". A really good YouTuber that I like to watch is Elle Fowler because I absolutely love her planner videos. I'm seriously beyond excited for my planner to come! I will definitely make a couple of blog posts about it once I get into it. Hope you're having a great Monday! -Kersten

This is the agenda I ordered and I am beyond excited!

Procrastination At It's Finest

Hello everyone!
I'm so sorry I have been slacking on blogging lately, I just haven't really had much to blog about I guess. I have actually been slacking on a lot of things, like studying for my ACT... oops. Anyways, I've been having an amazing summer and I seriously can't believe school is starting in less than a month, I actually have my orientation next week but I'm pretty excited about that because I can't wait to get my schedule for the year. I can't believe this is my last year of high school, just the thought of that is terrifying. I still have absolutely no idea what I want to do and where I want to go after high school so that's actually pretty scary to think about.
I just love summer though because it's seriously been so amazing this year and I'm going to be really sad when it ends, but yet again I'm really excited for my last year of high school. There are so many great things happening this year. Like my parents just booked a trip to New York City a few weeks ago, and they just recently booked another trip to Mexico for spring break and I am beyond excited for both of those. Also, this December I am going to California with my marching band and I seriously cannot wait. I have also been starting to think what this year will look like for me because I want to stay busy all the time because I love always having something to do. This year, I will be participating in marching band (of course), cross country running, Youth In Government, and Spanish club. I'm very excited for all of those to start!
Cross country actually starts this coming Monday and I cannot wait for it to start so I can finally get into shape again. I have been eating so badly this summer it's insane. But hey, it's summer so who cares right? Anyways I have to work tonight and I haven't worked in like two weeks so I'm kinda nervous but excited to go back because I seriously need money right now, I have been shopping like crazy lately... oops. My new obsession has been Urban Outfitters, ahh! I just love everything that they sell. I have also been looking for a record player all summer so I think I'm finally going to just splurge and get one because I really, really want one.
This blog was kind of all over the place and I'm sorry for rambling so much lol. Well, hope you all are having a wonderful summer! -Kersten

my first Lilly Pulitzer notebook and I'm so excited!

Current Obsession

Hello everyone!
I hope you are all having a wonderful day. I definitely am! Anyways, I've been thinking a lot about what to blog about lately because I want to make my blog interesting to read, of course. So I thought that maybe every week, or every two weeks or so, I could share one of my current obsessions, because trust me I have a lot of those. So, that's what I'm here to talk about today.
Recently, I've become obsessed with this website called Ivory Ella. They sell adorable clothing items, phone cases, etc., and all of the money that you spend there goes towards helping save the elephants which I think is so awesome. I mean, who doesn't love elephants am I right? They are seriously the cutest animals ever. I made my first purchase on Ivory Ella recently and I could not be more excited for my sweatshirt to come!
I would definitely recommend Ivory Ella, because everything they sell is adorable. -Kersten

Even available in men's clothing!

Summer Days

Hello everyone!
I don't know about you but I am beyond tired. I only got four hours of sleep... yeah, I know, bad decision. Anyways I had a ton of fun yesterday. My best friend and I went to the zoo, which was so much fun. After that, we went downtown and had ice cream at a really popular shop, and it was absolutely delicious. It was a pretty successful day, I would say.
Anyways, this morning I pretty much just got coffee with my best friend and ran a couple of more errands. I'm really excited for tonight though, because I am celebrating my boyfriend's birthday with him, and we plan on going out to dinner and then going to see the movie Trainwreck at the drive-in and I honestly can't wait. Although I'm going to need a couple of energy drinks to keep me awake, so that will definitely be interesting.
Hope you all have a wonderful night! -Kersten


                                Here are some pictures from my adventures from yesterday:

Hello, Again...

Hello everyone!
I am so sorry I haven't posted the past week or so, I've been super busy with a couple of things which I apologize for. I seriously can't believe it's already August! Although I am definitely looking forward to school this year because it is my senior year and I could not be more excited, actually. My marching band schedule for the fall just came in the mail today and I got really excited! I still can't believe this is my last year of marching band.
Anyways, I've just been busy with some family things and hanging out with friends of course. I've been on a couple more adventures and they get better every time, I swear. About a week or so ago my family and I went camping on a lake in Wisconsin and I actually had a lot of fun, I got to get away for the weekend and I was on a lake, so there wasn't too much to complain about there. I really did enjoy myself. Other than that I've just been hanging out with friends and catching up with people, which is always nice.
This past weekend, my family and I went up to Milwaukee and I got my senior pictures taken by some family members, and I had a ton of fun. I can't wait to share them with you once they are sent to me! I'm really excited to see them because I already got a couple of sneak peaks and they turned out better than I had expected them to. Anyways, the past two days I just hung out with some friends and my boyfriend, which was nice. I am very excited for tomorrow because my best friend and I are spending the day together, we are going to the zoo and then we are getting ice cream at a popular place downtown. I will most definitely blog about it more later, but you should make sure you are following me on my social media so you can see pictures and such. Anyways, until next time!
