Happy Hub: All American, The Good Dinosaur, Zoya Yuna, & More!

November felt really long this month (thanks to a certain class that will not be named... *cough* business law *cough*) but I managed to fit a lot in. Looking at this Happy Hub, it doesn't look like there's any more than any other month but I felt like a busy bee all month. Thankfully I had plenty of long weekends and days off because those were packed as well. Maybe I can pencil in some relaxation for winter break...

#hairoftheweek: Fishtail Flip Crown

It's Thanksgiving week! I'll officially be on break the moment this blog post goes up and I'm sure you are already there. Hopefully I'll be able to relax a bit this long weekend despite my impending finals and paper... But right now I'm just so glad you are finally seeing this hairstyle because I was very very excited when I came up with the idea for it weeks ago.

#hairoftheweek: Dutch Lace Bun

Long time no blog! I mean, I only skipped one post but that's enough to throw me off my game. There was so much going on this week and so much deviation from my usual schedule that nothing really felt right. Looking on the bright side, Thanksgiving is next week and it won't be long until the quarter is over and I can finally let myself relax. Sleeping in past ten without guilt?! Paradise.

#hairoftheweek: Khaleesi | French Lace Duo

Stepping out of the box wasn't the intention for this week's #hairoftheweek but that's what ended up happening. I wasn't sure about this one because it's so different from what I've usually done for #hairoftheweek but I have some wonderfully supportive friends that inspire confidence in me and reassure me that different is okay.

Travelog: Cruise Food | Entrees

It's time for another Cruise Food post! I had difficulty categorizing this post so I hope you get a chuckle out of the headings. I think you'll have a really good idea about my favorite Western foods by the time you're done. If you're just joining the Cruise Food series, or if you just want to recap, be sure to check out the Starters and be on the lookout for Desserts!

Everything you see on these Cruise Food posts are from my Mediterranean cruise on the Norwegian Jade. You can read all about that trip in these three posts. (You can also read about my time in Venice but I was off the ship by then.)

#hairoftheweek: Chain Rope Accent

Whenever I think of autumn, there are two versions that I picture. The sunny, deceptively crisp days and the brisk, windy, soggy days. Most of this week was the former. I wouldn't mind some more of the latter, though. I need every excuse to break out my sweaters (and to splash in puddles but that's a whole different issue).

Book Talk: October Wrap Up

I felt like I hardly got through any books (probably because of some of the books I read this month were slow-going) but I actually did pretty well for myself. Granted, I only actually read two novels but I'll take anything I can get. I did not realize how close I was to completing my Goodreads Reading Challenge for the year. I'm considering extending it from 80 to... 85? 90? What do you think? Thank goodness those productive summer months provided a cushion for the busy school year.

#hairoftheweek: French Twisty Bun

I actually put a little bit of effort into all my outfits this week and that is enough of a victory for me to call this week a success. I'm also riding that calm post-test wave so it's been smooth sailing. Gotta enjoy it while it lasts. Who knows when it'll be ripped from my hands?! (Looking at you, 8am business law.) At least I know that when it happens, my hair will be looking fantastic.
