#hairoftheweek: Spring 2016 Recap

Recaps are always a lot of fun for me to write. It's like a walk down memory lane for the last twelve weeks. I get to see all the nice photos I've taken of my hairstyles while I talk about them some more and give you my insights after being weeks or months removed from these hairstyles. I like to think of these as a final portfolio of sorts. I mean, I do write one up at the end of every academic quarter. Thank goodness this is a lot more fun.

Book Talk: June Uppercase Box Review

Before I had subscribed to any subscription boxes, I thought the month wait for the next box would be torture but, this time at least, it was the perfect interval. There was enough time for me to read the previous month's book without feeling rushed as well as a short enough span afterwards that went by too quickly for me to get restless. I think this box actually shipped early because they advertise that the boxes will go out on the fifteenth every month but it was in my mailbox by the sixteenth. Score.

#hairoftheweek: {Bonus} X-Bun

Happy Father's Day! I'd love to be in full celebration mode, but it's hard to when I have school tomorrow. School? In summer? Blasphemy. I'm grateful that it's online because I won't have to change out of my pj's, but I'm also worried I won't have a lot of motivation since it's online... Oh well. Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. Hopefully my productive side kicks in and I get stuff done. I've got a lot of things to get to this summer and I guess this class will just have to be one more thing on my list.

Happy Hub: 20th Birthday, Civil War, Hamilton, and More!

May is always a big month for me and even having pushed some things into June, I've got a lot to cover. I've already postponed this blog post many times which probably worsened my time management. It's lulled me into a false sense of security. Now that the worst of it is over, it'll be easier to get back on schedule. There's more time for everything in summer.

#hairoftheweek: #tbt Rapunzel Faux Braid

A large weight has been lifted off my chest. Not only has the pressure of school been (temporarily) relieved, there have also been a lot of exciting things happening since I walked out of my last final of the year. It's an all-around good situation. It feels good to be able to finally have some time to read and sleep and relax. Time is such a precious commodity. It always seems to be just out of reach when you need it most...

#hairoftheweek: Multistrand Pull Through

The end of the school year is coming up real fast and I am being bombarded by pretty much everything. In a time when I should be shutting myself in my room to study, I've got presentations to prepare, award ceremonies to attend, and high school teachers to visit. I'm not complaining, it's just a lot more stimulus than I'm used to. All that on top of the super summery weather we've been having (especially after that chilly May) makes for a very unfocused Yvette. Finals aren't that important, right? Scratch that. They totally are. Time to get my head in the game... after I talk about the season's final #hairoftheweek.

Book Talk: May Wrap Up

I've experienced a lot this past month, whether it be fictional or in real life, and while I feel like I could've read more, I'm not unhappy with my progress. I do need to be more proactive on checking off some books off my Popsugar Reading Challenge. From the looks of my bookshelf and my holds coming in from the library, I'm looking at at least two books crossed off the list! Until then, we can talk about the books I read in the month of May!
