Soap and GLORIOUS

Soap & Glory is a company SO near and dear to my heart. While abroad in London, literally every single single store I went into had the most beautiful display of their INCREDIBLE products. How I didn’t have an extra suitcase coming home of just Soap & Glory products is beyond me! Although a U.K. company, you can find their brand almost anywhere nowadays in the U.S., including Target and Walgreens, I MEAN WOW.

I was so beyond excited to receive the most precious box from S&G, with so many amazing goodies inside! Lets take a look at what was in the box, shall we?

MY NEW FAVORITE HAND CREAM. Although Hand Food is one of my OG favorite products, – The Righteous Butter is hard to beat. My hands are so incredibly dry in the colder months that adding some hydration with this balm makes all of my problems slip away. Not to mention, it is so portable all you have to do is toss it in your makeup bag, and you are good to go.

I must say, very few things compare to facial/body mists. I don’t know if it is the convenience, or the luxurious and refreshing feeling.. but this one was just added to my collection. I have replaced my after the shower moisturizer for this bad boy and have been *loving it.*

I am the type of person that always needs something on her lips. Whether it is my chapstick, or lip oil, I just need some sort of moisture! What more can you ask for then a product that offers gloss, moisture and plumping all in one…. you can’t!

A look at all of the products that I have mentioned in this post. I would recommend any and all of these to anyone! This brand continues to amaze me, just check our their social media and you will feel the same way! Gotta love Soap & Glory ♥

Apologies for my absence last Tuesday, so much has been going on! Updates to come soon, I promise! See you next week!

I AM MOVING TO NEW YORK

April 11, 2018April 12, 2018by seeitwithsami1 Comment

Hi everyone!

This post is going to be a special one, and I can’t wait to finally talk about something so amazing that has been going on in my life.

It’s not often that you are confident on your career path as a mere elementary schooler, while spending your days learning basic multiplication and addition. However, ten-year-old me was an ambitious one, sketching designs, writing elaborate stories, and telling anyone and everyone around her that she was going to work in fashion one day.

I am grateful to that fearless young girl for leading to me to my present career path, now at 22 years old.

Just like many soon to be college graduates, I realized rather quickly that graduation was creeping up on me (May 9th to be specific) and figuring out what my future was going to hold was probably something I should think about (just little things, ha)

For as long as I can remember, I knew that I would one day call New York my home. I would have a closet (ok maybe a storage unit at this point) that would impress even Carrie Bradshaw, a shoe collection that would call for some much needed therapy sessions, and I would make all of this a reality if it was the last thing I did! So, what do you know- its all happening.

When I say this all happened on a whim, I am not exaggerating. Within a short three week time span I went from no post graduation plans, to three back to back interviews in New York, to a job offer, to a start date, to a new apartment, and that is just the beginning. How I have not completely lost it yet, is truly beyond me. Ok- maybe I have… just a little.

My new job is for a company that is near and dear to my heart, French Connection. While studying abroad I interned for French Connection’s sister company called Great Plains U.K. To say I am reminiscent would be a bit of an understatement! I am going to be working in wholesale with various department store accounts! I swear just in that single day, so many of my dreams came true, and I am still not over it.

So, your girl is moving to New York, which I have said aloud so many times now and each time it doesn’t feel real. I will be moving to Long Island City to be specific, in the most beautiful apartment! Naturally, one of the only things on my mind is getting to the decoration phase of the moving. I cannot wait to play and make it a cozy little home. Did I mention my BFF Amanda is my new roommate? Still not over it. Amanda- if you are reading this.. I LOVE YOU.

So many decor/inspo posts to come and I AM SO EXCITED I CANNOT EVEN CONTAIN MYSELF.

Cannot wait to take some amazing pictures in the city and share my journey all on the blog along the way. Thank you so much for reading:) xx

back to basics

April 3, 2018April 3, 2018by seeitwithsami2 Comments

Welcome back to this weeks post! I hope everyone had a great Easter weekend along with a joyous Passover! This week is another crazy one, heading back to New York tomorrow for a little something special. Still weary of sharing because I don’t want to jinx it, but soon enough, hopefully!

I’m thinking of doing some blog posts talking about positivity and manifestation, would anyone be interested in something like that? I find that positivity/optimism is a topic I have most definitely battled with, but have worked through quite a bit. Sometime’s when life gets a little hectic we tend to become overcome with anxiety and emotion, thinking these problems are bigger than us. However- they aren’t, and it that has been such a rewarding realization. Anyway, let me know if you would be interested:)

Today- we are going back to basics.

When I say I wear gym clothes to school everyday, I am REALLY not exaggerating. Anyone else? However, those random days where I decide to throw on something other than Lululemon’s, I still require comfort. One of my favorite items I have ever invested in from Urban Outfitters, are these black velvet overalls. They. Are. Everything. Whether I throw on a T-shirt, mesh long sleeve, chunky sweater, the options are endless when it comes to styling them!

Thought I would show a quick outfit of the day that is effortless, simple, yet still put together. Hope you enjoy!
