Moving Forward

Friends, This post has been a long time coming. As you may have noticed, the NSP blog and social media have been silent for a few weeks; I just haven’t been wanting to share in the same way I used to. I have loved blogging for the past 3 years. It helped me to grow, learn new skills, and meet tons of fabulous people. I don’t regret a second of the love I poured into this site! That being said, I…

Growth

Photo c/o Oh my goodness, blogging is tricky in college. I apologize for the lack of communication on here and on social media; I haven’t forgotten about this corner of the Internet- I swear! You guys, college is wonderful. And I am so happy to be able to say that.

My College Skincare Routine

My College Skincare Routine

Not to brag, but I’m typically known for clear skin; I rarely get breakouts. Oddly enough, I’ve never had a real skincare routine. I don’t use any sort of creams, wash my face regularly, do anything that would give me good skin {good genetics I suppose?}. I knew that coming into college, that lovely mixture of stress, late nights and greasy food would probably override even good genetics. Not…

The Friday Few {59}

The Friday Few {59}

Photo c/o Hi friends! It has been a week of rest and recharge in my life, and because of that, I have little in the way of “updates” to share. Instead, I thought I’d share with you five things that caught my eye! I’m a poor baker, but it doesn’t stop me from drooling over recipes on Pinterest. I’m loving everything pumpkin spiced {#basic}; these cookies look delicious! Speaking of fall, KJP just…

I'm home!

I’m home!

I got to meet the newest member of the family {and Mom’s replacement attempt}, Rosie! I’m a super duper lucky college kid because I have this whole week off. Which means for the first time since I got to school 5 weeks ago, I came home! Let me tell you, I missed my whole family like crazy while I was away. We are a close-knit bunch, and I hated missing out on Chipotle Fridays, movie nights, and…
