ROADTRIP RECAP

So after 42 hours of driving with John (he drove 39 of those hours...), 11 states, and 14 days, our journey is finally winding down! I have compiled a photo graphic of our trip below and hope you enjoy. 

I want to thank everyone who graciously hosted us along the way! It was an absolutely incredible journey and am so fortunate to have been able to take it. We did the whole trip in 7 days and for the past 7 days I have been helping John settle in to his new apartment. I am loving this California weather and can't wait to move out here after I graduate!

I also just updated my website and am holding a Back to School Sale where everything is up to 50% off! So now is the time to get your SmartPurse while it's on sale. John is also helping me write a script for a video, so I will share that with you ASAP! 

I fly home on Wednesday and then move to Penn State on Friday, so once I get back to school I will be able to consistently blog again. Thank you again to everyone who hosted us on our incredible trip!

ROADTRIP

Tomorrow, I embark on a cross country road trip with my boyfriend! Here is the route we will be taking. I look forward to updating you on our journey!

Day 55: BYE BYE NYC

Inspirations: So this is my farewell to New York City...for now. A few short months ago, I was given  a life-changing opportunity to reside in NYC for the summer while working for a fabulous fashion startup called Keaton Row. Even though it was only a little over 55 days, I have learned so much about New York, myself, and my business. I have been able to connect with a myriad of wonderful people, make friends who I am sure will last a lifetime, spot breathtaking sights every day, and experience things that I believed only happened in the movies! 

Reflecting back on this summer, I compiled a collage of all the pictures I took as inspiration for this blog. Every single picture holds with it a cherished memory and something that I may never have captured if I didn't embark on this personal challenge. I truly searched for beauty every single day and was able to observe a new facet of New York even on my routine walk to work.

I also wanted to thank all of you who have read this blog and given me such wonderful support and positive feedback. I appreciate your love and encouragement tremendously and would not be where I am today if it weren't for each of you!

 For the month of August, I will be going on a cross country road-trip with my boyfriend to help him move to LA. I will do my best to post pictures whenever I get Wi-Fi, but we have plans to camp in Kansas...so I am not counting on that! I won't be sewing until I return from the trip, however upon my return I plan to start a new Challenge and am excited to announce what that will be! 

Thank you again, and I hope that this blog can be an inspiration to seek beauty in every situation, everyone, and everything!
