<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 20.02px;">My love for </span><a href="https://www.warbyparker.com/sunglasses" style="line-height: 20.02px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Warby Parker</a><span style="line-height: 20.02px;"> started a couple years ago when </span><a href="http://allthingsnataliechrista.blogspot.com/2014/09/warby-parker-glasses.html" style="line-height: 20.02px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">I got my very first pair</a><span style="line-height: 20.02px;"> for Christmas. </span>Since that pair, I've been secretly eyeing each of their new collections, plotting out which pair I'll snag next. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I was thinking I would get another pair of eyeglasses but their latest collection, <a href="https://www.warbyparker.com/field-series/women" target="_blank">the Field Series</a>, has me rethinking my choice.</span></div>

It is nearly impossible to pick a favorite, don't you think? I love the <a href="https://www.warbyparker.com/sunglasses/women/bonnie/walnut-tortoise" target="_blank">Bonnie tortoise shell pattern</a>, but I'm also always a sucker for a light grayish blue frame like <a href="https://www.warbyparker.com/sunglasses/women/grady/crystal-aqua" target="_blank">Grady</a>...</div>

This is by far my favorite thing about Warby Parker; their commitment to donate their glasses to people in need. </div>

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We've all heard about the terrorist attacks that happened in Paris and Boston <i>and</i> Brussels. It's heartbreaking that the list just seems to grow as the months go by. For each of these heart shattering attacks I remember turning on the news, and seeing these catastrophic events fold out on the TV before me. It is of course heartbreaking to hear about the tragedies, and to see it be played out on national television. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But it's a very different and utterly eery feeling that comes over you when the same sort incident takes place in your own city. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhB_v7gG0Qjf3jcJO1pFxJGhbCvrlasZZKsCtEJ6lKYW6pk4X6xMc6EvLOPqqFLstfODas0JLpLwzamymRvngamESjxMqOQMJSjnMhgpfXkXOdKqM1j2QdXDMYN_XkbyTgQYT8QiaMUZvE/s1600/orlando.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhB_v7gG0Qjf3jcJO1pFxJGhbCvrlasZZKsCtEJ6lKYW6pk4X6xMc6EvLOPqqFLstfODas0JLpLwzamymRvngamESjxMqOQMJSjnMhgpfXkXOdKqM1j2QdXDMYN_XkbyTgQYT8QiaMUZvE/s640/orlando.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's still surreal to me, and to so many others in Central Florida I'm sure, that this disgusting attack really took place less than 48 hours ago. You never think something bad is going to happen to you, or to your city, until sadly, it does. The truth is, this sort of incident could have happened anywhere. It's terrible that our world has gotten to such a dark place where, like I previously mentioned, major attacks keep occurring one after another. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But let it be know that our city has not let it defeat us.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6FAXMsZHIV52gPYX3VQjEWPtH5lo7xJQ5ZlDGfPu7dvfrnMLinch8sL1VVgOUKn-W9RRjeFgLkFBEoym10vuZ6ugo20UdgCstGZ4Zl2j0f7OBftGIn2gljJAKKyvwHh3BuwArNau5nE4/s1600/orlando2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6FAXMsZHIV52gPYX3VQjEWPtH5lo7xJQ5ZlDGfPu7dvfrnMLinch8sL1VVgOUKn-W9RRjeFgLkFBEoym10vuZ6ugo20UdgCstGZ4Zl2j0f7OBftGIn2gljJAKKyvwHh3BuwArNau5nE4/s640/orlando2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A<span style="font-family: inherit;">mazingly, instead of crumbling in defeat, Orlando as a</span> city - and as a family - has united as one. There is so much love being spread throughout Central Florida.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The response from the city and the country following the shooting has been incredibly powerful. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We will not let hate overcome us, we will stand strong with one another, and lean on each other, to heal our beloved city. </div>
<center>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">As my dear friend Lane wrote in her </span><a href="https://www.theodysseyonline.com/dear-orlando-love-charleston" style="font-family: inherit;" target="_blank">outstanding article</a> earlier today<span style="font-family: inherit;">, </span><i style="font-family: inherit;">"</i><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><i>people tried to make </i>[the attack]<i> political immediately after it happened. I'm writing to beg you to stop. Give the families time to mourn. Give the city time to grow stronger and more unified before ripping it apart with a political agenda."</i></span></center>
<center>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Our city needs just that, time to heal, time to mourn those who lost their lives. Miraculously, Orlando is doing just that. Coming together with love and lending a hand wherever it is needed. </span></span></center>
<center>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></center>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<center>
</center>
<center>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Just yesterday over 1,500 units of blood were donated in Central Florida to heal the victims. </span></span></center>
<center>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">On the day of the shooting, a local Chik-Fil-A cooked hundreds of chicken sandwiches and made gallons of sweet tea for the heroic people waiting in line for over 6 hours to donate blood. </span></span></center>
<center>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Even the company I work for, Rifle Paper Co., created an<a href="https://riflepaperco.com/shop/art-prints/orlando-heart-illustrated-art-print/" target="_blank"> art print</a> where all of the proceeds will go to helping the victims and their families. </span></span></center>
<center>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">These are only a few examples of how the city has taken action to help and heal.</span></span></center>
<center>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></center>
<center>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">In a time filled with such sorrow and heartbreak; I am in awe over the way Orlando is uniting, loving, and caring for each other.</span></span></center>
<center>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Although more than anything I wish this attack would have never happened. </span></span></center>
<center>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">It is beautiful to see <i>the city beautiful</i> come together in this desperate time of need. </span></span></center>
<center>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">We will not let hate break us. #OrlandoStrong</span></span></center>

Wow, let me start by saying that I cannot believe that I'm done with my first, not semester, but YEAR of college. Honestly, I'm sad that the first year is over, I want the next 3 years to <i>crawl</i> by. It's all going by too fast! But I will say that it's been the best 8 months of my life and I'm the happiest I have ever been. My college BFFs and I fit in SO much during our first year of college and that's something I am so grateful for. One of the best pieces of advice I got before heading to school was from my fabulous Aunt Lynn who told me to just say YES to new experiences and opportunities (within reason of course). So when people would invite me to do things such as attend events, or to join new clubs, or to even just go for a walk, I just went for it without hesitation! This is a piece of advice I have begun to live by. By following this advice it opened the doors to so many opportunities. Such as St. Augustine Fashion Week, which then led to an internship! It's incredible what can happen when you step out of your comfort zone and just say yes. </div>

These are only a handful of the <i>many</i> photos I took this past year at school. It was an incredible first year filled with so many great new memories such as St. Augustine Fashion Week, an internship, being featured in the St. Augustine Old City Life magazine, a mini trip to Palm Coast, a weekend away at Seaworld, meeting a clown, camping at Anna Maria Island, lots & lots of beach days, two trips to Charleston (one of my new fav places!), attending the Little Big Town Concert, jumping in fountains, worshiping the Lord at Sub30, lots of dancing (duh), and so much more that I couldn't even fit into this one post. </div>

Words cannot describe how thankful I am for Flagler and for the unforgettable people I've met throughout this past year. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A special shoutout to the best friends I made over the past year Avery, Lane, Chloe, and Stephanie. Y'all mean the world to me!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And a shoutout to my parents for everything they have done and continually do to help and support me to chase my dreams at Flagler. I love you guys.</div>

I for one am counting down the days until my sophomore year begins this fall! </div>

My history with fitness has been somewhat miniscule. When I was younger I tried out a few sports, like soccer and tennis, but never really stuck with either for one reason or another. I had never been the sporty kid, it just wasn't me. I had never really put much thought into health or fitness, and the incredible ways it can transform your life, until a couple of years ago when my good friend Kasey started sharing some facts about food with me. When we had this talk, she had previously completely transformed her way of eating. She began watching documentaries, reading nutrition books, and becoming knowledgeable about what exactly she was eating. This hugely impacted and inspired me to start thinking about what I was putting into my mouth and to think twice about the foods I was using to power my body. I began looking at food labels, not at the calories, but at the ingredients. If I couldn't pronounce an ingredient, I tried to steer clear of that food. I'll be honest, I haven't stuck to that rule for two years now, but it's a good guide line to follow. It's so critical for us to be mindful of what is in the foods we are eating everyday, and more importantly learning how those foods help to fuel our bodies. </center>
<center>
About 9 months ago I was scrolling through Instagram and just happened to come across one of my favorite bloggers who had posted a photo of herself following a workout video. </center>
<center>
I had been wanting to find an alternative to paying for a gym membership so I clicked the link on the picture and it lead me to trainers <a href="https://www.toneitup.com/about-karena-and-katrina-founders-of-tone-it-up/">Karena & Katrina</a> and there company <a href="https://www.toneitup.com/">Tone It Up</a>. I immediately fell in love with the website and TIU community consisting of inspiring, like-minded, real women who were joining the Tone It Up program to transform their health, body, and mind. I stumbled upon the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgBTevPW8fsH4pQNrLufOsQ">Tone It Up YouTube channel</a> where Karena & Katrina post free workout videos weekly. I tried a few videos out and almost immediately saw a difference in my body. Before all of my <a href="http://www.allthingsnataliechrista.blogspot.com/search/label/Travel">traveling this past summer</a>, I had actual bicep muscles! It was seriously all thanks to <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9JbdF2CcmAA">this TIU video</a> that I did every other day for a couple of weeks. Even after a couple of <i>years</i> of going to the gym regularly, I had never seen results until I started completing the TIU videos. I probably sound like a paid sponsor for this program but I'm not, I just love the program and believe in these </center>
<center>
girls that much. </center>
<center>
After months of doing the TIU videos here and there I've finally taken the plunge and committed to a set workout & nutrition routine for the next 8 weeks. I've signed up for the <a href="https://www.toneitup.com/workouts/join-the-tone-it-up-challenge/">Tone It Up 2016 Challenge</a> which started this past Sunday Jan. 3rd! I'm only three days into it and feeling more sore than I ever have in my life, but it's all worth it! I'm so excited to see what the next 8 weeks brings. I've got a few friends doing the challenge with me (shoutout to Steph, Lane, and Avery!xo) which I could not be happier about.</center>

Wow! It seems like it's been forever since I sat down in front of my computer and wrote a blog post. I didn't go into my first semester planning on not being able to keep up with my blog. In fact, multiple people had asked me prior to Flagler if I was going to continue to blog in college. I told all of them that I totally would. Whoops! Sorry if you were one of those people. I promise I <i>did</i> mean to keep up with it more. But as many of you can imagine, once I got settled in at Flagler, I found myself having little free time. In fact, these past four months have been some of the busiest of my life. But also four of the very best months. To say I like college would be a huge understatement. Turns out, it's a thousand times better than High School. I always knew there was something better for me just waiting to be discovered after High School. I'm so glad I was right. </center>
<center>
I can't even begin to express how blessed and honored I am to have the opportunity to attend Flagler. I'm so thankful for my parents and all they did to help me get to where I am today. The school is everything I hoped it would be and so much more. It was my dream for three years, and it surpassed every one of my expectations. I expected to love the school, but didn't expect that it would feel like home so soon, I didn't expect to meet such incredible life-long friends, and I didn't expect to have such an incredible first semester. I absolutely love my life at Flagler and cannot wait for the next 3 1/2 years. </center>

Above are a few looks I am loving right now! I'm really into the idea of adding a print and fun pop of color to really spice up an outfit. That <a href="https://www.danielwellington.com/us/?gclid=Cj0KEQjw3auuBRDj1LnQyLjy-4sBEiQAKPU_vYdPdHas6H-vA43BOfxlVE7S06VSCh-Y-EWyZDBmE_MaAoVY8P8HAQ">Daniel Wellington</a> watch is calling my name. I'm also eyeing <a href="https://www.danielwellington.com/us/classic-st-mawes-lady">this stunning one</a>. See that picture in the top left hand corner? I thought the blue and white thing was a kimono, but I was wrong. It's an oversized scarf, game changer! How cute and relaxed does it look draped liked that? I'll definitely be trying out that look this fall.</div>

Once we flew home from England and Paris, I was home for 10 days and then I was off to my next adventure! This time, I was headed to sunny Coronado, California. <a href="http://www.allthingsnataliechrista.blogspot.com/search?q=california">We take a trip every year to southern California</a> to visit my moms side of the family. It's one of my favorite things to look forward to every year. Not only is it so great to see my Grandad and Aunt Beth, but I also view Coronado as a second home. I've grown up going to Coronado every year, it's impossible not to fall in love with this charming island. </div>

My family and I ended up staying for a whole month this summer, so instead of writing about our trip in several different posts, I thought I'd compile it all into one.</div>

We made so many great memories on this trip! We went on a walking tour of Embarcadero (the harbor area in downtown San Diego), we <strike>sort of</strike> hiked in Torrey Pines, we ate at In-N-Out burger (!!), I got to dog-sit (the cutest) little one for our neighbor, we visited Old Town, I met the coolest Japanese exchange students, I got to have lunch at the Hotel Del, we went to Admiral Baker (our favorite brunch spot), we walked around Seaport Village, we went over to Pacific Beach, we went to the Little Italy farmers market, we walked down Orange Ave and went shopping., I biked to the Coronado beach, I got to see the "Kiss Me Kate" play at the Old Globe theater, we explored Oceanside, my brother and Grandad went to a Padres baseball game, we went to a few concert in the parks, and we all spent loads of times with friends and family!</div>

The dream team!! I was so lucky to be able to work with these two incredible ladies, Vicki and Ashley, while I was in town. For the second year in a row I got to be an intern at <a href="http://www.lattitudedesign.com/">L'Attitude Design</a>! I ended up working with them for a whole month, and throughout that time, I got to experience at first hand the ins and outs of running a business. I so enjoyed my time with L'Attitude and hope I'll be able to work with them again in the future!</div>

Here is some of <a href="http://www.lattitudedesign.com/projects">their finished projects</a> I got to see in person! Every one of their remodel, staging, and owner occupancy jobs always end up looking INCREDIBLE. What Vicki and Ashley create in these spaces is truly an art. They're both extremely talented. When I buy my first home, I'm planning on flying them out to the East Coast to design the interiors for me!</div>

Every time we are in the UK we always try to stop by Ludlow so that we can visit two of our great friends, Dave and Jo. They live in the cutest cottage (It's named the Little Shortgrove cottage!), which is basically in the middle of nowhere. You have to drive down many bumpy, twisting, turning, dirt roads to reach their house. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The remote countryside was such a nice change <a href="http://www.allthingsnataliechrista.blogspot.com/2015/07/paris-france.html">after being in such a busy city</a>. Their house sits in the middle of several huge fields, most of which are filled with (the cutest) sheep. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This is the Little Shortgrove cottage! Isn't it just about the cutest place you've ever seen?!

I found this great company at the airport in London last month. It's a vintage inspired line, teeming with adorable floral prints! It reminds me of Rifle Paper Co. a bit, but with a vintage twist. In the picture above, I included some of my favorite pieces. They have everything from clothing, to dishware, to lamps. <a href="http://www.cathkidston.com/outlet/further-markdowns/list?">Right now, they're having a fantastic 50% off sale!</a> </center>

Holy moly is this coffee good. Have you heard about it? Starbucks just came out with the Cold Brew this week! What they do is brew the coffee for 20 hours, and then put it over ice. IT'S TO DIE FOR. It may even be better than <a href="http://allthingsnataliechrista.blogspot.com/2013/11/signature-starbucks-drink.html">my signature iced coffee</a> drink.

Yes, it's that time of year again! Although sharks terrify me, I find them so interesting. Usually, the Discovery Channel does a phenomenal job with Shark Week, but this year seems to be different. The episodes so far, seem to be focused on the equipment they're using to film the sharks, rather than the sharks themselves. No one gives two hoots about the balloon camera, people just want to see the gigantic sharks swimming around. Hopefully they'll turn things around with these last few days of Shark Week.</div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">While we were in the UK, we took a quick detour and spent 4 glorious days in Paris, France. A month or so before our trip to the UK, my parents surprised me by telling me they'd booked a mini trip to Paris, as a graduation gift!!! I actually teared up when they told me. To sum up our trip into one word: INCREDIBLE. It was a trip I will remember for a lifetime. Paris is by far, the greatest city I've traveled to. There's just something about it that makes you fall in love with it instantly. For me, I loved how different it was from the United States. The architecture alone is breathtaking, and unlike the U.S., in France (and all of the UK infact) they tend to reuse old buildings instead of knocking them down and building a modern skyscraper in its place. This keeps the history intact, along with the beauty of the historic landmarks. Another significant difference between Paris and the U.S., Is the way Parisians simply stop and savor each moment of the day. For example when it comes to food & restaurants in the US, industries move at a mile a minute. We are surrounded by fast food joints at every corner, drive-thrus at every turn, and it's the food industries moto to get your food to you as soon as possible. In fact, not once did I see a drive thru throughout our 4 days in France. In Paris, a typical meal runs for multiple hours, because their moto isn't to grab a quick bite and go, it's to sit and enjoy the meal and each other. Although the food is exceptional, I even noticed that when Parisians enjoy a meal, they're really there for the conversations, not just the food. I envy the way they live life at a slower pace, and it's something I aspire to incorporate in my day to day life.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">This was taken on the train ride to Paris. We took the Eurostar, which I highly recommend! It was simple and easy to use (except they didn't have the wifi they promised!). But all you need is a good book and you'll be set. I'm currently reading Into the Wild by John Krauker, it's a very interesting read.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It's sort of funny, I look back on our trip now, and I honestly could write an entire post alone on our shenanigans of getting to and from Paris. We encountered a couple bumps in the road to say the least. I have to say the only negative about Paris was getting to and from it. On the way there we had to take about 8 different trains, one of which was the wrong one, and we ended up going the opposite direction of where we needed to be going. It was an adventure to say the least. My poor dad was deemed the sole navigator, so all of our trust was put in him, and he really did a great job guiding us through Paris, especially since he hadn't been in years. Thank goodness we had him, because the rest of us had no clue!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Look at that beauty!! It was so surreal to see this huge tower in person. To me, it seemed smaller than I had imagined, if you can believe that. But it was even more magnificent than I expected. It's a great place to sit and have a picnic, or it's great for people watching (or go wild and do both!). Guess what, while we were sitting by the Eiffel Tower, we even got to witness a wedding proposal! She said yes!! How magical is that.</span></div>

Of course, we had to try out one of the cutest outdoor cafés on Rue Cler (mind you, just about every café in Paris is outdoor, which I loved!).

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Don't even get me started on the phenomenal bread, ham, and cheese in Paris. There really isn't anything like an authentic French baguette, crusty on the outside and soft on the inside. Almost anywhere you went you'd see people walking down the street with a baguette in hand. Some just couldn't wait until they got home to have a bite, so you'd see people tear of a chunk and snack on it as they walked home. I saw women all over the city do this, which is just something you wouldn't see regularly in America because of how society encourages women to only consume a certain amount of calories a day and to be as thin as a rail. It was just refreshing to see the women in Paris not have a care in the world and </span>enjoying<span style="font-family: inherit;"> every bite.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">The beloved café creme! I swear we probably had a cup after every single meal. It's the best cup of coffee I have ever tasted, and that's a bold statement coming from a coffee connoisseur. It's basically just espresso and steamed milk, but there's something the French do that make it all the better. I'm determined to find a place in Orlando that will make the perfect café creme!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Oh boy, the escargot! I figured I had to have some while in France. I've had escargot before, and really liked it. BUT I've never had it come out with the shells still intact. Honestly, it put me off a bit. The overall taste wasn't bad, but for me it was hard to enjoy them when I had to dig them out of the shells. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I totally had a Pretty Woman moment though, I grabbed the snail tongs and was grasping the shell too tight apparently when it snapped out of the tongs and hurled across the table. Luckily no one was hurt in the process! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">The next morning we stumbled upon a guy on Rue Cler who was making homemade crêpes! We got a round of ham, egg, and cheese crêpes, which were out of this world. We nibbled and walked as we made our way to the bus tour stop. FYI during our trip we used t<a href="http://www.paris.opentour.com/en/">he L'Open bus tour service</a> to maneuver our way through Paris. We highly recommend them!! It's a great way to see the whole city in a short amount of time, and they have an open air top which is perfect for taking pictures, and it's great getting a nice breeze as you take in the city!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">I've wanted to visit this museum ever since I took AP art history during my junior year of high school. So many of the works we studied that year, are located in the Louvre. It was surreal to even step foot into such a place, let alone to be able recognize some of the works inside of it!! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">My favorite thing in the entire Louvre; the Winged Victory of Samothrace! It was so powerful and stunning in person, it gave me goosebumps. It's mind blowing to see how the fabric on the greek goddess, Nike, is so beautifully draped and seemingly soaked with water. Even the skin of the goddess looks like it could be real. It's a true masterpiece. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Champs de Elysee and the Arc du Triomphe! BTW, notice all the cars. The driving in this city is absolutely nuts. I have never and will never drive in this city! It's so crazy to the point that it stressed me out and I wasn't even the one driving. Drivers make up their own lanes and just expect everyone else to abide by it. Then you have suicidal motorcyclists weaving in and out of traffic at all times. It's insane. Whatever you do, don't drive in Paris!</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); font-family: inherit;">To say my summer got off to a great start would be a HUGE understatement. My family and I spent the past 2 and 1/2 weeks traveling all over Europe!! We flew out of Orlando in early June, and landed in London 8 hours later. We spent the first few days of our trip in Burnham, England which is where our family lives! In case you didn't know, my dad is British (and yes, he has an accent, my friends think it's the coolest thing ever). All of my dads side of the family still lives in England, so it's a great excuse for us to travel to the UK to visit them! Our trip included lots fun of mini trips. We started in Burnham, then traveled to Paris (!!!!!!), then went back to Burnham, spent a night in Ludlow, then went back and spent the remainder of our trip in Burnham. So, the first pictures i'm sharing with you today, are of the beginning of our trip!</span></div>

It's so surreal to be able to say that. It honestly feels like it's taken so much time and energy to get through the last 4 years. I was not someone who particularly liked high school; I was never the person who played school sports, joined any clubs, or attended school functions. This is something I plan on changing in college, because at the end of the day, you get what you give. As you can imagine, I definitely wasn't one of the ones incontrollably sobbing on the last day. I was the one jumping up and down, dancing, and singing as I walked out of school for the last time. </div><div style="text-align: center;">Here are a few shots from my last week as a high schooler! </div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-VLnF2adJp3E/VWJMBMbkagI/AAAAAAAAS6s/qzNhniDcwUA/I/photo_219084.jpg" border="0" class="bloggoimg"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;"><font face="Times"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-9l6nlx7CGYY/VWJMCOVodAI/AAAAAAAAS60/wRyyfuSgFsE/I/photo_929918.jpg" border="0" class="bloggoimg"></span></font></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-1auZz8ZFpHU/VWJMC0qQg1I/AAAAAAAAS68/vBRcVzzSQ-Q/I/photo_133689.jpg" border="0" class="bloggoimg"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-YsjfsPvJRqQ/VWJMDpUGn-I/AAAAAAAAS7E/YqrKaGbJWaY/I/photo_331613.jpg" border="0" class="bloggoimg"></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-o-5D4s6fvBc/VWJMEr0ESJI/AAAAAAAAS7M/yUcJP4ymKXE/I/photo_122062.jpg" border="0" class="bloggoimg"></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-ra-Y8Y6YQg0/VWJMFpk6peI/AAAAAAAAS7U/0WzwZCyx6Qw/I/photo_798460.jpg" border="0" class="bloggoimg"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;"><font face="Times"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-O7GlC6rp-6A/VWJMG7ORBII/AAAAAAAAS7c/RfP8IoMSIWk/I/photo_83585.jpg" border="0" class="bloggoimg"></span></font></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div></div></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-6ICVd3x8_pQ/VWJMHkZycVI/AAAAAAAAS7g/qILEdLaZehI/I/photo_532640.jpg" border="0" class="bloggoimg"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-jp18Iws9h6I/VWJMIUxqKtI/AAAAAAAAS7s/ejpR94YhkbU/I/photo_907249.jpg" border="0" class="bloggoimg"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-TtldAQPEp4E/VWJMJdK5nDI/AAAAAAAAS70/vVHe0xq5Zqg/I/photo_234393.jpg" border="0" class="bloggoimg"></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/--66oNYS38g4/VWJMJ7mrkEI/AAAAAAAAS78/rwXmtt-rxNc/I/photo_990503.jpg" border="0" class="bloggoimg"></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-eWiIwdES94c/VWJMKgJrORI/AAAAAAAAS8E/ArOiTM8QgJ8/I/photo_228941.jpg" border="0" class="bloggoimg"></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-6eMj7RB72Wk/VWJML019C7I/AAAAAAAAS8M/F5kFemqTizM/I/photo_637024.jpg" border="0" class="bloggoimg"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;"><font face="Times"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/--SSLgm1CXhA/VWJMM1cLazI/AAAAAAAAS8U/SAOvIksLxNs/I/photo_366550.jpg" border="0" class="bloggoimg"></span></font></div></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><font face="Times"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></font></div><div style="text-align: center;"><font face="Times"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">I cannot wait to see what the future holds!

Today is my eighteenth birthday!! I'm a legal adult!!!!!! Isn't that actually mind blowing. It definitely blows my mind (and my parents mind!) for sure. People keep asking me how I feel about this big birthday. Honestly, I don't think it'll sink in for awhile. </center>

I think what excites me the most about turning 18 is for what it means is right around the corner. It means that my last year of high school is almost over, I'm graduating in less than 2 months, and college is right around the corner!! <a href="http://www.allthingsnataliechrista.blogspot.com/2014/04/seventeen.html">I remember writing my birthday post last year </a>and thinking of how my 18th birthday and all these big milestones seemed so far away. Now they're all right around the corner and I couldn't be more ecstatic. </center>

SNIP SNIP, THERE GOES 8 INCHES! I'm super late posting about it, but I<a href="https://instagram.com/p/y-sEjuIEBc/?taken-by=allthingsnatc"> did indeed cut off a whole lot of hair last month</a>. If you haven't noticed, short hair is kind of taking over the world. Recently I've seen countless people chop all of their locks off and I started <i>loving</i> their new hairdos. So for the past few months I've been silently contemplating taking the big leap. Up until this point I haven't ever cut more than a couple inches off. But for some reason, at the beginning of the year, I just had this urge to cut it all, and I'm seriously proud of myself for doing it! I lovvveeee the new cut. My hair feels so soft and healthy. And as a bonus, it doesn't get caught in doors anymore! I was so ready for a change and I'm so glad I did it!</div>

If you're considering cutting your hair or trying out a new hair style, my advice is go for it! At the end of the day, it's just hair. If you end up not liking the new hairstyle, it'll always grow back. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
One of my mantras for the year is to step outside of my comfort zone. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Letting go of my fears and cutting 8 inches off was <i>definitely</i> out of my comfort zone, but I couldn't be happier that I did it. I can't wait to continue the year, getting out of my comfort zone one step at time.</div>

What's that gold rectangle thing? It's a <a href="https://www.etsy.com/ca/shop/PlannerAddict25?section_id=15926022&ref=shopsection_leftnav_1">dashboard</a>! No, not the kind in your car, a <i>planner</i> dashboard! It's the must have item you never thought you needed in your planner. It's a laminated piece of paper that has coil clips so you can pop it right into your planner and easily pull it out to move it from week to week. It's perfect for writing to-do lists, special notes, packing lists, or upcoming appointments. You really can do just about anything with the dashboard, you could even get artistic and use it to draw on! The possibilities are endless. If you want a dashboard but the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/203724056/dashboard-gold-wood-pattern-front-and?ref=shop_home_active_18">gold foil one</a> isn't your thing, that's fine!

One of my favorite things about the dashboard is that when you use a dry erase marker, the ink dries so you can shut your planner without having to worry about smearing your writing! When you're ready to take the writing off, just wipe over the dashboard with a paper towel and it looks brand new.</div>

I am so excited to tell you guys about this planner! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is the one I chose to be my official planner for 2015.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I went through a bit of a planner roller coaster this year, first I bought the <a href="http://instagram.com/p/p9-5mXIENX/?modal=true">Lilly Pulitzer agenda</a>, then I bought the <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=striped+kate+spade+agenda&rlz=1CAHPZY_enUS587US587&espv=2&biw=1366&bih=633&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=yxviVLnZLIqdNsX3gsAL&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAg#imgdii=_&imgrc=Kg7NmkS6TM3u4M%253A%3BsipZLmxO0MhWgM%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fimagecdn.papyrusonline.com%252Fmedia%252Fcatalog%252Fproduct%252Fcache%252F1%252Fimage%252F9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95%252F7%252F5%252F758971_default.jpg%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.papyrusonline.com%252F2015-black-stripes-17-month-weekly-agenda-by-kate-spade-new-york.html%3B900%3B900">Kate Spade agenda</a>, and then I finally found <a href="http://www.thedesignloveco.com/products/design-love-planner">my planner sole mate</a>! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's crazy how much my taste changes, but I'm so glad I finally found the perfect planner for me!<br />
Let's be honest, picking a planner is a big deal. It's the item you're going to be using every day for an entire year, you'll take it along with you everywhere, and it will either make or break your organization goals. So because of all of those reasons, it's so important to chose the one that's right for you.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>WHAT I LOVE</u></b><br />
<b><u><br /></u></b>
<span style="text-align: left;"><u>The layout of the planner</u> // I cannot emphasize the importance of this enough! I absolutely love that this planner has the traditional monthly view, a unique weekly view, and a to-do list section for each day of the year. </span><br />
<span style="text-align: left;">T<u>he daily to-do lists</u> // I'm a person who is constantly writing to-do lists. I love the feeling of getting things done and checking things off as I go! So having a to-do list section is life changing!</span><br />
<span style="text-align: left;"><u>The ribbon bookmarks</u> // They're adorable and super handy for quickly flipping to pages.</span><br />
<span style="text-align: left;"><u>The gold foil details</u> // The perfect planner not only has to be functional, but it also has to look pretty!</span><br />
<span style="text-align: left;"><u>The spiral bounding</u> // This makes it so much easier to write in because you can flip the pages easily and fold the planner in half! I hate having to keep a planner flat and hold down the pages while I'm trying to write.</span><br />
<span style="text-align: left;"><u>The thick paper</u> // This planner is made with thick quality paper, not the cheap flimsy stuff! It's perfect because pens (specifically marker pens) don't bleed through the pages.</span><br />
<span style="text-align: left;"><u>The stripes</u> // I have an obsession with stripes, I think that's pretty clear by now.</span><br />
<span style="text-align: left;"><u>The monthly art prints</u> // Each month in the planner has a cute print which you can either leave in or tear out!</span><br />
<span style="text-align: left;"><u>The pockets</u> // There's not one but <i>two</i> pockets for sticking all your necessities in! This is huge for me.</span><br />
<span style="text-align: left;"><u>The user guide</u> // In the beginning of the planner there's a note from the designer, an introduction, and instructions on how to best utilize the Design Love Co. planner! I found this to be super helpful and a nice added touch.</span><br />
<span style="text-align: left;"><u>The monthly goals & budget pages</u> // I have yet to see this in a planner, until now. It's yet another way to stay organized, and plan out your spending each month.</span><br />

<u>The overall size</u> // Although I love that I can stick this planner in my purse, I don't love that there isn't always enough room for writing everything down. I would love for Design Love Co. to offer a bigger size for the 2016 planner.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<u>The limited quantity</u> // It seems like they either didn't make enough of these planners, or had overwhelming success selling them, because they sold out super quickly. You can find the odd one on eBay or another secondary seller but for the most part these babies are hard to find. Design Love Co. did say they'd have more planners available in the coming months, but I'm sure it'll be a very limited quantity.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ol>
<li>Photo prints // I used about 100 prints to create my photo wall, so depending on the size of the photo wall you want to create, that will depend on how many prints you'll need <a href="http://photo.walgreens.com/walgreens/storepage/storePageId=Print+Offer?tab=photo_subheader">(and guess what, Walgreens is having a sale on prints right now, whoop whoop!)</a></li>
<li>Scissors </li>
<li>Tape (I recommend duct tape!)</li>
<li><a href="http://www.walgreens.com/store/c/wexford-posterboard-22-inch-x-28-inch/ID=prod6221623-product">Paper poster board(s)</a> // The amount you'll need will depend on how many prints you have and how big you want your photo wall to be. I used 4 poster boards, and I could fit about 25 (4x6) prints on each board. </li>
</ol>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now, before we go any further let's talk about what happened here. So <i>the first time</i> I created the photo wall I spent a 4 solid hours individually taping each picture <i>directly</i> onto the wall. After I had finished, I admired my creation and then went to work. 5 hours later, I return and see this. 90% of the photos had fallen down, I'll be honest, I teared up a bit. All my hard work had fallen down into a crumpled mess of sticky tape and paper. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Don't make the same mistake I did!! If you want to tape the photos directly to the wall, that's fine! Just first tape one photo to the wall, leave it there for a few hours, and see if it sticks or falls down.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEie28gUaJz74Vbk4GZCZ8q3JQ-D0YpE24mWPs6UqRtwOBOmoASDSNwP7LB-syKxBPqmY_mM0miMQqA8qBm_y18vp0EBInzGe09RuA49LV9pC9Gwpa4gR9mcTwWGms8XiFulmkG9T2kZYeE/s1600/IMG_6995.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEie28gUaJz74Vbk4GZCZ8q3JQ-D0YpE24mWPs6UqRtwOBOmoASDSNwP7LB-syKxBPqmY_mM0miMQqA8qBm_y18vp0EBInzGe09RuA49LV9pC9Gwpa4gR9mcTwWGms8XiFulmkG9T2kZYeE/s1600/IMG_6995.JPG" height="400" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After the <strike>heartbreaking</strike> first incident, I almost grabbed a trash bag and stuffed the wadded tape and paper mess into the bag. But then I thought of using poster boards! I don't mean to toot my own horn, but this idea is sort of genius.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What I did was, I took a poster board and taped the photos directly onto the board! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then I nailed it to the wall. Depending on the weight of the boards you can either tape or hang them onto the wall.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Duh, right? I wish I would of thought of this sooner!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Also, a great bonus of using poster boards is that you can easily move the photo boards around, whereas if they were directly taped to the wall it'd be a lot harder to maneuver them. This way when I go to college in the fall I can easily move the boards to my dorm!</div>

This post has been sitting in my drafts folder for a month now, collecting dust. When I first wrote it, I thought I had shared too much. But I figured It's been too long since <a href="http://www.allthingsnataliechrista.blogspot.com/2014/11/opening-up-about-my-faith.html">I shared a deep and honest post about myself</a>, and now's the time to break out of my comfort zone. One of my all-time favorite bloggers, Tj, always has been a very open and honest writer <a href="http://www.hislittlelady.com/">on her blog</a>. I so admire her strength. Her honesty has inspired me to be more open, which is why I'm finally dragging this post out and sharing it with all of you.</center>

I have truthfully never been happier for the start of a brand new year. This year, 2015, is the year I've dreamed about since my freshman year of high school. It's the year that seemed so out of reach, seemingly unattainable. When I look back at High School, I feel like it's been a never ending roller coaster. Their have been so many <a href="http://www.allthingsnataliechrista.blogspot.com/2015/01/college-decision.html">ups</a> and <a href="http://www.allthingsnataliechrista.blogspot.com/2013/12/i-will-not-miss-2013.html">downs</a> along the way. This is the year I'm finally able to get off this roller coaster. The end is in sight, there's a light at the end of this tunnel! </center>
<center>
I have always been that girl, who was ready to leave High School and embark on College, and that time is (almost) here!</center>

It took me 3 long and grueling weeks to make my college decision. Those weeks were were some of the most stressful I've had to endure, I even broke out in a rash. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After being accepted to Flagler, I ended up visiting Flagler twice over my winter break and I really fell in love with the school all over again. I couldn't shake the feeling that Flagler was ultimately where I wanted to be. But part of me felt guilty if I didn't pick a Christian school (PBA) but the other part of me felt guilty if I picked Flagler being the one I had toured most recently, and I always seem to fall in love with the school I've toured most recently. I ends up having to make a pros and cons chart to help me make my decision. Flagler ended up having twice as many pros and PBA had twice as many cons. The decision was obvious and making that list really helped me make my final decision. If you're facing a tough decision, I definitely recommend a Pros & Cons Chart!</div>

Happy New Year's everyone! I hope you all are having a great start to 2015. A couple of weeks ago I got asked by one of my favorite shopping apps/websites called <a href="http://www.vinted.com/">Vinted</a>, to write a post for their <a href="http://www.vinted.com/blog">#VintedDetox</a> campaign! The post is about going into your closet and creating a new look for an old item and showing how to style it (it's about giving something old, new life for the new year!) I chose to do a D.I.Y, and did so by cutting up an old lace shirt and making a new bracelet out of it! </div>

Wow, December has really flown by! Seriously, where does the time go? </center>
<center>
If you don't follow me on Instagram or Twitter, you may not know some very exciting recent news of mine.</center>
<center>
<b>
I GOT INTO <a href="http://www.flagler.edu/">FLAGLER COLLEGE</a>!!!</b></center>
<center>
It gives me goosebumps just to say it out loud! </center>
<center>
Even two weeks after finding out, it feels like a dream. I truly didn't think I would have a shot at getting into what used to be, my dream college. </center>
<center>
I know this sound horrible, but I was kind of hoping that I wouldn't get in to Flagler at all, because I didn't want to have to choose between two incredible schools.</center>
<center>
But now that I've gotten into both of my dream schools I don't know which I'm going to choose. </center>
<center>
I'm so afraid of choosing the wrong school, but I know I just have to trust in God and His plans for me. </center>
<center>
The scary thing is I can't take my sweet time deciding on which college, Flagler is giving me until January 15th to either commit to them or to go to PBA instead.</center>
<center>
Until that day I will probably continue to freak out, have anxiety, and experience heart palpitations until I make a final decision. </center>
<center>
Which is why I would love your prayers at this time! Pray that I'll have a clear mind while deciding on my future. Pray that God will lead me towards the school He see's fit for me to attend. Pray that I make the right decision. </center>
<center>
I so so appreciate it!</center>
<center>
I hope everyone has a fantastic Christmas! </center>
<center>

First of all how cute is this shirt? It is my new favorite, go-to piece! I got this fun shirt from a company called <a href="http://hicustom.net/" target="_blank">HiCustom</a>. They're an online custom t-shirt and wholesale company! When <a href="http://hicustom.net/" target="_blank">HiCustom</a> first contacted me and asked if I wanted to collaborate with them, my first thought was "oh my goodness, yes!" My second thought was "what item should I choose?" <a href="http://hicustom.net/" target="_blank">HiCustom</a> has many items available for you to customize, it's hard not to buy one of everything! They have everything from iPhone cases to coffee mugs. What's also awesome about <a href="http://hicustom.net/" target="_blank">this company</a>, is that they're doing a deal right now where if you register/make an account on their website, they'll send you a $10 coupon code straight to your email inbox! Seriously this website couldn't be cooler. It's the perfect place for businesses to design their logo and build their brand. It's also a great place to get a gift for someone special this holiday season! <a href="http://hicustom.net/samsung+cases" target="_blank">Get this for the techie in your family</a>, and <a href="http://hicustom.net/shop/sports-white-standard-weight-t-shirt-for-women-43547.html" target="_blank">get this for the health nut in your life.</a></div>
