As Americans, there is nothing we value more than our freedom - so of course we have to go all out when it comes to celebrating it. If you are ready to channel your inner "T-Swift" this 4th of July (minus, of course, the A-lister guests), let's talk about all the essentials to throw an independence party that would make our Founding Fathers salute you!  First up to an amazing party is, of course, FOOD! Since I am a terrible cook, I'm going to leave the intricate recipes to Pinterest. However, if you're looking for the easy way out - you came to the right place...

I was 4 years old when I met the man that I call my dad, a day that I remember vividly. My mom and I were living in a small apartment complex that she managed at the time. Her and my real dad had been divorced for a few months, and his visits were becoming less and less frequent. After getting myself dressed I headed down stairs where I came to a screeching hault. I'm sure you can imagine the look on my face when I headed down stairs to find a strange bearded man standing in my living room...

If you're like me, you follow a Kardashian on every social media platform. This means, you're ready to hop in your private jet, in your Louis Vuitton bikini, and Island hop on your Yacht. But if you really are like me, you're also still looking for quarters to go buy some Taco Bell.    But hey, just because I'm not rolling in the dough, doesn't mean I don't deserve a relaxing vacation too! Since I can't fly down to Beverly Hills today - because you know, the way my bank account is set up (excuse the Kevin Hart reference) - I'm going to...

        Summer is here! The 2017 translation of that is, selfie season has arrived! That being said, let’s talk about a few steps to transform your instagram from blah to BOMB this summer!       First impressions are everything! Create a fun, unique instagram name and bio to stand out and maybe even brighten someone else’s day just a little! If you need some help thinking up something witty, pinterest funny quotes and use one of those for some inspiration. Next, as I am a sucker for a good aesthetic, this is the most important step. Choose...

Adventure is synonymous with Summer, and as a self proclaimed adrenaline junkie, I can barely wait! I have always been a firm believer that if we all die in the end then the goal is to die with memories, not dreams. To help make these goals more obtainable, it helps me to list them all out in a bucket list. This way, I can feel a huge sense of accomplishment as I cross them off. If you have never made a bucket list, I highly advise it! Even if you’re not a psycho like myself, you can keep it mild...

Tell Us What You Want, What You REALLY REALLY Want (get it, like the Spicegirls?) Raise your hand if you have a mom that has everything or THINKS she has everything? *insert my raised hand here* If you didn’t raise your hand, I’m extremely jealous and you don’t need to read any further.. or do and get a couple of ideas ;) Well since idk what to get my mom and my mom friends for Mother’s Day, I took a poll. And here it is.. Sarah, 25, Mother of 3:
When asked “if you could have three things for Mother’s Day...

As the end of the school year comes to an end, so does my tolerance and motivation. April is a struggle month. You only have a few more weeks to raise your grades. Plus, you have all your end of the semester projects and finals to also worry about. If you're anything like me, you lay in bed and watch Shameless and then freak out the day it's all due. I could write an entire blog ranting about how stressed I am and all the things I need to do, but that's why I have a boyfriend. Instead, let's go...

Man, was March a good month. It was such a teaser for summer with pool days and spring break, but we still have a few more weeks (six to be exact but who's counting). Regardless, a new month brings new favorites, so here's mine: Clothing: Vans Sliders So I'm heavily into the whole slider shoe movement, they're so comfortable that it's hard not to be. True, they're slightly ugly but I really couldn't care less. I've had a pair of leather ones for a few months, but if you know me, you know I walk straight through puddles and have...

Captions are almost as important as the picture you're posting. They are your own personality behind the picture, a reflection of your Instagram (I'm making this sound a lot more serious than it really is). But, trying to think of a caption while staring at the tiny box that says "Write a caption..." will be the hardest thing you do that day. Lucky for you, I consider myself a caption wiz and I'm here to help you find the perfect one, and I'll give you some of my best works of words. Follow @barefootcampusoutfitter !!!

You know exactly what I'm talking about. You have that one friend that you grew up with, their family is your family, you know what they're thinking about from the look on their face, and they go to college three hours away from you. It sucks, believe me, I know. But, this is a time in your life you can rejoice it,  it's somehow in a weird, twisted way, good for you. I miss my BFF so much, but I also know that this is how it's meant to be, we are both doing exactly what we are supposed to...
