October Favorites


Hey, y'all! So as you all hopefully know, October is over! I absolutely love fall, and October is one of my favorite months because I get to tax (read: steal) candy from my nephews, I get to dress up, and it just gets a little colder around my parts. Here are a few of my favorite things from the month of October!
  • Salted Caramel Mocha Frappuccino! I'm a huge sweets person, if it's sweet, I'm all for it. And every year around this time, Starbucks brings back the salted caramel mocha frappaccino, and I am eternally grateful!
  • Mint. I absolutely adore anything minty, like year round, if it's minty, I'm  in. I don't know where my love for mint comes from, but it's a real obsession. I have a mint body spray, body wash, and lotion that I stock up on every single year when it gets closer to winter and I'll use it year round. 
  • E.L.F. lip scrub in Cherry Tart. Lip scrubs are amazing and they are definitely needed with how many liquid lipsticks I wear throughout the days. I love this because it's in a lipstick form and is easy to keep track of. Plus, it's only $3. If you don't love it, then it's not a huge loss. 
  • Colourpop pressed eyeshadow in Pretty Cruel. I'm not going to lie, I went on a Colourpop shopping spree. I love their products and the price point is phenomenal. However, Pretty Cruel is this gorgeous mauve shade with gold reflects in it. It sets itself apart from my other purply-wine shades for that reason alone. Not to mention, the pigmentation is stunning. 
  • Artist Couture diamond glow powder in Conceited. At first, I wasn't too big of a fan of this highlighter simply for the fact that it was a loose pigment. I abhor loose powders, they get everywhere, they're messy, and they just don't do it for me. But this highlighter is stunning! It's a light gold color with glitter mixed in. I love how I can use this on anything, from my brow bone, to the highlight on my cheeks, to making my lipstick have a little pop! I absolutely adore this highlight and would definitely suggest picking one up. 

  • Audible is a audiobook service which I've fallen in love with. I find with law school, I've definitely missed out on a lot of my shows and for-pleasure reading. With Audible, I'm able to de-stress and decompress because I feel like I'm doing something for me. Currently, I've been stuck on the Chicagoland Vampires series by Chloe Neill. Listening to my audiobooks during my morning commute to school has definitely helped me maintain some semblance of normalcy and sanity.

Motivation in Law School

Image
So, today I wanted to talk about one thing that I noticed a lot of people in my group have trouble with: staying happy and motivated in law school.  I'm no expert by any means on law school life, but I've noticed I'm not as stressed as everyone else is. Here are a few tips that I've found work for me. Stay ahead of the reading! Every Friday I begin working on the next weeks workload. Every day I work on my homework a little at a time. I usually wait until about noon-ish to start, but I'll then continue working until about 5 or 6 every night if possible. This allows me to not stress about the reading I didn't finish or didn't understand because there isn't a huge time crunch.  Get the Barbri supplemental material. The material they include with your pre-registration for bar prep is amazing! It includes black letter law, explanations of cases, outlines, and practice exams. BUT, and this is a HUGE but, do not rely on the material solely. You shoul

How I got the Top Grade in Torts

So, midterms are over. Thank the Lord it's done and over with for this semester. I'll be honest, there were a couple breakdowns, a few too many tears, and a lot of curse words thrown at my roommate (sorry). However, I got my Torts midterm grade back pretty quickly and I ended up getting the top grade. A few more tears might have been shed in class when I received that news (he kept dragging out handing back the tests and I convinced myself I had gotten the lowest grade, so it was just a huge relief.) I wanted to share with y'all how I did it. 1. Practice Exams       Now, my Torts professor told us we had to do approximately 15 to 20 before the midterm (so roughly about 5 per week.) and he only accepts two practice exams per semester. Now this professor is incredibly particular on how he wants his practice exams done. So, I did it to his specifications and turned one in. It was on intentional torts, which means it was a race horse. You didn't get time to think deeply

Lenovo 2-in-1 laptop

This new laptop is amazing. I am absolutely in love with it. The whole thing is so light weight, and the fact that it can turn over and become a tablet makes me love it even more. It's a Lenovo yoga book 2-in-1 laptop/tablet. My cat seems to be pretty impressed with the stylus, which I think he considers his toy. I can take hand written notes, as shown above, and they will be saved onto the laptop in a notebook. This is incredibly helpful to me since I prefer handwritten notes over typed notes, for some reason I am much better at remembering copious amounts of information if it's written. The second thing I adore about this laptop is that if I so wish, I can put the keyboard all the way back to make it into a tablet. This will be a lifesaver for me since I have a real reading addiction. While I was in undergrad, I would carry around all of my books, my laptop if the day called for it, and my tablet reader, plus all the stuff for my physical education c
