Pretty Busy

Oh my goodness, where to start? Basically this is going to be one of those dime a dozen "I've been super busy" posts. Don't leave just yet, though, because there are three things I want to share that will make this post (hopefully) worth your while. Before that, let me first tell you that I absolutely have been super busy. Between classwork, applying for jobs, running Fordham's Campus Activities Board, and trying to have this little thing called a social life, it's been a lot, and at times, super overwhelming. It's also been pretty great though, and I'm really trying hard to make the most of the little time I have left at school. 

Okay, now to the good part. I know there's no way I'm the only one who has been crazy busy lately, so I wanted to share with you a few new finds that are perfect for any life in the fast lane (side note: do people still even say "in the fast lane?")

1. Stay Adorable

My new "I am very busy" pencil case is everything. I just ordered it and it pretty much sums up life right now. I've seen ban.do products around for a while and originally, I obsessed over the "I am very busy" agenda because it was hilarious, but it was sold out literally everywhere! So when I saw this pencil case on the website during a sale I knew that I needed it. Although, I just ordered the pencil case, below are a few other products I'm loving right now. 

[Agenda] Originally why I noticed the brand, but unfortunately sold out. Not to worry though, they're releasing new ones soon, so get excited! 
[Pencil Case] My new fave. So funny and adorable. I think I might actually use it for makeup instead of pencils. 
[Portable Charger] Always super useful and this one is really cute and stylish. 
[Ear Buddies] I love how colorful these headphones are, and given I just lost a pair (oops), I may be making an order soon!

2. Stay Informed

I am so guilty of neglecting to read the news, which is a seriously horrible habit. It really shouldn't be that difficult to replace 10 minutes of watching Netflix with catching up on current events, but it so is for me. Anyway, my sister recently introduced me to Quartz, and I'm in love. Basically, you register on their website and then each day, you receive an email with top headlines and a very short elaboration on each. It's perfect because it only takes a hot second to read in the morning and it makes me feel like a semi respectable and informed citizen. Seriously, you should register. 

3. Stay Pretty

Don't get me wrong, I still love Essie, but I've recently started buying Sally Hansen's Insta-Dri nail polish and it's amazing and so reasonably priced. For some reason I always paint my nails on a super tight timeframe-- which is actually ridiculous. I should just plan better. Also, I'm definitely one of those people who always smudges a nail out of impatience. Anyway, this nail polish lives up to it's name and dries super fast making my life 100 times easier. Below are a few of my favorite shades!
