Sorry for the abscense!!!

Hi everyone! I'm so sorry I haven't been blogging much the past week, we were on spring break last week so I didn't have much time to blog. Now that I'm back at school, I've been bombarded with projects and tests, college stuff, and my internship. My goal is to start getting on a solid blogging schedule hopefully by the end of the week.

Have a great week lovelies!!!

xoxo,
Saba

Apps I Love

1. Instagram

One of my top favorite Apps is Instagram. I'm constantly checking my feed about 50 times a day.

2. Pinterest

I first started using Pinterest my sophomore year of high school. I would say I am addicted to it. I find so many inspirations and ideas on there. I honestly think that over the past several months pinterest has helped me reevolve myself and my style - of course in a good way. 

3. Bloglovin'

Bloglovin has become one of my fav apps and websites because I can follow all my fav blogs and have them all in one convenient place

4. Evernote

I was introduced to ever-note last year in my religion class at school for taking notes. I used to think it was the worst thing ever but now I honestly use it for everything and it connects with my computer and phone which is also super convenient and makes everything so much easier

5. myAT&T

AT&Ts app helps me track my data usage which is also useful so I know when I'm about to go over my data limit so I dont have to keep paying my parents the extra money at the end of the month.

6. AroundMe

Useful when im in a city I've never been for finding everything from movie theaters to gas stations to restaurants

Hello blogging world!!!

Hello blogging world!

My first post... this is so exciting! I've been following a bunch of blogs for a while now, and just decided to try my hand at it. Wish me luck, I'm still getting the hang of things. I guess I should introduce myself, right?

 Hi!! My name is Saba and I'm from the wonderful San Clemente CA! I am a high school senior and I hope to attend either Chapman University or University of San Diego in the fall! 

Here are some of my obsessions:

- Family is pretty much the most important thing in the world to me! I may be an only child but I am extremely close to both my parents and my entire family!








- I have a huge obsession with Pinterest and Tumblr! I basically spend all my free time sitting behind the computer... (I know its really bad... whoops)


- I love to shop... Which is a problem I've had basically forever and there is nothing I can really do to stop it

- I'm a HUGE LA and Boston Sports Fan which seems to be a problem with a lot of people but i honestly could care less. 




--The BEACH is my favorite place! I'm actually writing this while looking out over the ocean.I have lived by the beach my entire life which leads to my next point. 


 - I have grown up in Orange County my entire life and the only other place I would be willing to move is somewhere on the East Coast near water (basically Boston)

Basically the reason I started this blog was to document my life before and during college. Blogging is something I have always wanted to it but i have also been very hesitant. Over the years, I have been really active on both Tumblr and Pinterest but I knew it was time to get serious! Just please don't be surprised by all my ranting and excessive use of pictures but it will happen and it will happen often! 

xox, Saba
