What to wear to the Airport: Summertime

What to wear to the Airport: Summertime

What to wear to the Airport: Summertime by kenzie-hill featuring cutoff shorts


So, I am leaving for a trip soon, and I'm not sure what I should wear to the airport.  I know you shouldn't go in your pajamas and these two outfits i picked probably aren't the best dressy wise but they are cute and comfortable without being too casual.  The first outfit, I just have a floral print romper with a sweater over it in case its cold on the plane. i paired it with red vans and socks. SOCKS are super important when your at an airport. You know when you go through security and have to take your socks off?  Well all I think about is how gross that floor is, and I definitely don't want all those germs on my feet. ewwww:/ So moral of the story, wear socks. The last thing I have that works for both outfits is the tote bag, this you can use to carry a book, laptop, or any other things you need on the plane.  In the second outfit, I have a pair of jean shorts with a tank top and a sweater over top it again in case the plane is chilly. Over this I have an infinity scarf just to add a cute accessory that won't be "called" in security. Then I have a pair of gray vans and socks :) I am absolutely in love with these shoes they're so cute!  Which outfit should I wear?  I'm leaving soon and need to know! leave a comment below!

My beach bag essentials:  the first thing I have is my coverup.  I like to use a light weight romper that is easy to take off or put on.  You could also use a crochet cover-up. I think these are so cute. They're so light and summery. I also keep a pair of sunglasses, the ones above are just the ray ban original wayfarers. Another big trend is the big floppy sun hats.  The one above is from Forever21, and its fairly cheap, only $11!  The next I have is one thing you can not leave out of your beach bag; sunscreen!  This is super important to protect your skin and keep you from getting burnt. You can use any sunscreen but make sure its at least SPF 35.  I also like to keep some makeup with me in case we leave the pool or beach right away to go eat lunch or go shopping, I can just freshen up right away and be on my way to wherever we're going.  If you plan on going swimming, or tanning out on the beach, you definitely need a big beach towel so you can dry off or keep all the sand off you.  If your anything like me,  I can't just sit there with nothing to do. So, I bring my phone which is my iPod so I can listen to music while i'm tanning.  you can also bring a book, which I like to do especially if I'm getting really into it.

New Series: Being Happy is Being Healthy

For Summer this year, my goal is to eat well and just be healthy and in shape.  So what I'm going to do is every week post one eating healthy tip for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks.  I'm also going to give everyone a work out to do you can do to work on abs, butt, arms, or legs.


Work-out: 20 lunges on each leg
10 push ups
25 sit ups
5 minutes of cardio (running or biking)
**This is a beginner's workout, if you think you can do more go for it, like instead of 10 pushups do 15 pushups. Do this workout every other day.


Breakfast: a sandwich of peanut butter on whole wheat toast and a glass of milk is a great way to start off your day. If you need a little more, have a banana with it!
Lunch: Try and avoid fast food for lunch, like breaded chicken fingers, or pizza.
Dinner: Whole wheat pasta is much better than white pasta.  It takes some getting used to but its so much better for you!
Snacks: Apparently, you should have at least one snack a day but try and keep it healthy like carrot sticks with a little ranch or apple slices with peanut butter!


what do you guys think of my first Getting Fit! Series?  Leave a comment below!

Summer Nails!

So hopefully y'all have heard of the manicure where you paint you your ring finger a lighter shade than the rest of your fingers. Like if you paint your your fingers hot pink you would do your ring finger a darker or lighter shade of that.



Well, what I did, was instead of a similar color, I did a contrasting color. I am absolutely in love with this look, its so summery with the bright colors, and even better the pink is the new Revlon Gel Nail Polish in "Passionate Pink", so it lasts longer than regular nail polish. The tealish turquoise color is Sephora by OPI in the color "Read My Palm". 



What are your thoughts on this manicure? Leave a comment below!

Neon Statements!

Neon Statements!

A big trend this summer is neon.  Neon anything, but not too much. With this, it adds an instant pop of color to any outfit and it doesn't look like your drowning in a rainbow. This outfit I put together is a great example of using neon to make your outfit stand out.

Summer time: Pool and friends

An end of school party:  I had one of those today. they're so much fun, they're a great way to just let your hair down and relax.   Who cares what you do its summer! It doesn't matter YOYO: your only young once.  Make it count.
Capture the flag:  OMG this is my absolute favorite thing to do with friends.  We play til midnight some nights playing.  With like 10 people, its the perfect amount of people and if your really competitive it can get pretty intense:) which makes it that much more interesting.  


These are just a couple of ideas for you to kick off your summer... well not so much the last one, thats more of just to do in general but whatevs:)


Love you!

When it comes to makeup for the pool, I don't wear a lot.  For my face, I obviously wear sunscreen and if I really want to a cream blush.The cream blush I am using today is the Revlon cream blush in Berry Flirtatious.  For my eyes, I wear Covergirl's waterproof lash blast volume (I couldn't find a picture of it on Polyvore so I just used the 24 hour one), and any waterproof liner. the one in the picture is BHCosmetics waterproof pencil eyeliner.
