Introduction ↠

           Happy Sunday everyone! I'm sorry that it's taken me so long to compose this first blog post, but this weekend has been quite hectic to say the least. It seemed as though the universe had been working against me in every way possible, and I'm just happy to have come out alive. But enough about that - let's get into what this post is really about!
           I am extremely excited to have created this blog, and the support people have been giving me elevates that feeling by 100%. I was very reluctant to begin publishing my thoughts online at first. I had the notion that people would judge me, criticize my opinions, and even call me pretentious. It took me almost a year to realize that these kind of people are irrelevant and not worth my time. You can't always please everybody, but you can do what makes you happy (cheesy, I know). So with that being said, I'd like to thank the people who took the time to vote in the poll on what kind of material you would like to see on here! It really helped me receive insight on the kind of vibe this website will have. Most people voted for fashion, photography, and lifestyle topics, so I guarantee those will be the majority of posts on here. I also feel that pop culture & current events play a major role in our everyday lives, so do not be surprised if you see a few entries regarding those subjects here and there. 
           Once again, I'd like to thank everyone who has really encouraged and supported me about this! I'm not exactly sure where this blog is going or where it will end up, but as of now I feel like I'm on the right path. All I ask from my viewers (all 14 of you lol), is that you keep an open mind while on here. I may not be the best writer/blogger/journalist, but I will work hard to present the best version of myself to you! *Sidenote: most entries will not be this short. I didn't think this was a topic that needed an in-depth analysis or explanation, so I just hit the highlights. I hope you all have a fantastic rest of your Sunday, and a productive week ahead of you. Stay tuned for the next post sometime in the upcoming week, because I'll be publishing something that I'm really passionate about & I think you guys will enjoy it. 
xx. Belle

Surviving Valentines Day #Single

Image
As the national holiday of love approaches, it seems as though more and more singles are outwardly "advertising" their best qualities onto dating websites and social media. I recently had a close friend disclose to me, "I just want a boyfriend, I've been single way too long." As much as I wanted to be on her side and encourage her ~thirsty~ behaviors, it kind of bothered me. When did relationships become so mainstream and public that when single, girls feel out of place/unwanted? Why has the title become more important than the relationship itself? These are the things keeping me up at night... sike lol, catch me in bed at 9 PM! But in all seriousness, what I do know is that women deserve more than what they're selling themselves for. Lowering your standards to simply claim that you're in a relationship is quite sad, and anyways, you're better than that! So chins up girls, here are a few tips & tricks on how to make the most out of your Valentine

Travel Tips and Tricks: London & Paris

Image
Gooooood evening everyone & welcome back to your favorite local blog page! As you probably have noticed due to the copious amounts of social media posts [sorry not sorry], I've recently been overseas in Europe for a well-earned summer vacation. While abroad, I had a lot of time for some self-discovery. In just nine days, I learned how to trust my instincts, be independent, face my fears, and the importance of planning ahead of time. New places and new faces often frighten tourists, and understandably so. Unfamiliar big cities can be intimidating! As a result, I'm here to offer some crucial travel tips I have picked up for all current, future, and aspiring globetrotters! Tip 1: Preparation. Preparation. Preparation. For nearly three whole months, I sat at my laptop researching, mapping, booking, and later, creating a time-table for each and every activity. Though some tourists prefer the spontaneity of traveling, this mindset can be very risky. For example, had I not go

16 Things High School Actually Taught Me

Image
4 years - 720 days - 5, 040 hours - all spent in a single building, with the same people, with similar goals. Yes, I'm talking about high school. Though everyone's high school experience is drastically different, there are aspects in each that line up. There will always be that group of girls who constantly create drama, those teachers who can't seem to give you a break, those nights you feel so misunderstood & alone, and that certain someone you just can't get out of your head. No matter where you live or what school you attend, we all learn the same lessons. No, not y=mx+b or that the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell, but things you can't learn from a textbook. Here are just a few of them... 1) You don't have to look good everyday - nobody really cares! I'll admit, every morning from Freshman to Junior year, I'd wake up at 6:00 am, fry my hair with a straightener, apply an obscene amount of eyeliner, slide on the "trendiest&
