Pay it Forward

        Everyone has heard of paying it forward, karma, and doing good. This week as we all know the killer, scary, viscous people are trying to upsell the lovely Lilly for Target products. One women I had the opportunity to talk to shined bright in darkness of all that's Lilly. I posted in search for a dress for my upcoming college graduation on May 9th. All I wanted was a shift dress to wear under my cap and gown.
        I was in luck. I came across the wonderful Lilly fairy! She had a dress, my size and was wonderful enough to pay it forward and give me her dress! There are wonderful people out there. There are no words to fully describe how thankful I am.

The Lilly for Target Craze!

     Well like many prepsters, yesterday morning I went to Target to try to get the best deals and maybe even a shift dress to wear for my formal. Boy, let me tell you people are viscous. Think of it as Black Friday for the preppiest of preps. This includes but not limited to: Moms, kids, teens, college sorority girls, teachers, etc. I learned the scariest of all are the Moms. They ran into the store first and grabbed everything on the racks. I was about 6th in line and it was a struggle for me to find what I wanted. I did get a lovely romper and a scarf but I did not get what I came for.

      The best part is next. I was online all day due to being at work in front of a computer screen and Facebook was blowing up. I am part of numerous Lilly Facebook pages and people were really getting full of themselves. People are upselling their products like crazy. My favorite part of my day was when one horrible Lilly lover tried to upsale a bunch of her items and well.... the Lilly lovers attacked, including me.

      Needless to say.... or at least I thought... Do not upsale your TARGET Lilly products. They are sold there for a reason. Why would I pay $80 bucks for a Target Lilly dress when I can get one used in good condition for a little more? And ESPECIALLY do not post it on a Lilly Facebook page trying to upsale it.... Common sense people. Hopefully we will be seeing Target restock these items, if not I am glad I got the items I did!

Organization is Key

Moving back into your apartment or dorm after a long winter break all anyone wants to do is take a nap. If you rethink that and organize your helping yourself in the long run. 

1. Reorganized your closet. Color code your closet, it helps make everything easier when you are picking an outfit out for the day or even for a night out on the town.

2. Reorganize your desk. A clear desk helps promote working on things like papers, projects, etc. Have a place for all of your pens, pencils, and markers while leaving a space to put your laptop.

3. Utilize your planner. If your school is anything like mine, our teachers post the syllabus before classes start. Write down all those important dates and color code it. It gives me so much relief to see what and where I have to be and at what time.

4. Prepare your bag. Back pack or tote put everything you may need in it. I always will have the usual pencils, pens, white out, highlighter, and scissors. I also have Advil, tissues, lotion, nail clippers, hand sanitizer, and deodorant.
