Hi everyone! I’m Lauren and I’m a college student in Chicago. I love to travel as much as I can. I spend a lot of time in the Southwest. It’s pretty much an obsession at this point. Feel free to reach out if you want to swap adventures or just chat! Have a great day!

Not saying my wish cause then it'll never come true. You guys, life is just v stressful sometimes. I have finals to study for, packing to do, goodbyes to say, and of course work on blogging. Trying to power through this week as best as I can. Hope y'all are being boss bitches and chasing your dreams😎

Needing red rock therapy in my life asap. Moving to AZ means much more hiking guides headed your way! Can't wait to fall in love with this place even more than I already am. Be sure to go vote on what content you all would prefer in my story! I'd love to get your opinions🌵

Wishing I could stay in Europe forever. Only one week left and then I'm back in the states to meet the fam for the holidays! Not letting myself get too down though cause come January I'll be road-tripping across the US to make my move to Phoenix. So many exciting life changes headed my way! What are you all looking forward to?

Marked hiking the tallest waterfall in Northern Africa off my seemingly endless bucketlist. This hike was so cool, there were wild monkeys everywhere but they were honestly so chill. I suppose they are so used to people hiking the trail they don't mind at all to come up to you and hold your hand (or steal your food.) Swipe to see a perspective shot to show how massive this really is.

If you've been paying attention, I've been hinting around at a little secret I have. Now that the lease is signed, internships have been accepted, and class schedules have been made I guess it's ok to announce.....IM MOVING TO AZ. Ever since I visited Arizona for the first time it's been such a dream to move there. I realized the only thing holding me back was myself, and fear of being judged or questioned by others. I could not be more excited to start this next chapter in my life, and I hope to meet some great people along the way. Let's go sun devils🌵

If there's one thing I've realized, it's that life is not about having the perfect moment, it's about enjoying the moment you are in. I constantly get these comments or messages of people telling me that "they wish they had my life" and that my life is so glamorous. While I am extremely blessed, it's so important to remember that this little square only shows my best moments. What you don't see is that my laptop had just broke, nearly a week before finals. Additionally I also contracted E. coli, which is definitely the opposite of glamorous! So, as you scroll through this little app remember everyone's doing what you are: showing the pretty parts of life.

Don't mind me, just looking for my last ounce of sanity as the temperature continuously drops. The cold is just not my element, I hate feeling unproductive and just drained of energy. Plus I hate hate hate burdening people with my feelings so these dark + lonely days don't mix well with my mental health. How are you guys dealing with the winter temps?

Looking for the perfect holiday gift? Give the gift of clear and radiant skin! My skin has always been a huge insecurity of mine, so to have something that melts those worries away means everything to me! The @clarisonic Mia Prima is clinically proven to clean skin 6x better than your hands and gets off long wear makeup 89% better than wipes! Paired with @kiehls cleanser, this has quickly become my go to skin routine to keep those winter temps from dulling my skin. • • • • • #Clarisonic #Kiehls #GiftFromClarisonic #ILoveMyMia #FutureOfBeauty #InfluenceHerCollective https://www.clarisonic.com/face-brushes/mia-prima-sonic-facial-cleansing-brush/CL420.html?utm_source=online_community&utm_medium=pr_influencer_notpaid&utm_campaign=hercampus&utm_content=devices&utm_term=201811

Wearing scarves as tops is definitely one of my favorite ways to spice up an outfit. I am obsessed with the whole western/boho vibe and this is the perfect little finishing touch. Fits like this have me beyond ready to be moving to Arizona in January, where my phx bloggers at?!🌵
