Dorm Room Tour (My Life Wednesday)

Hi Everyone!

So here is my first real post in about a week. I have been wanting to do a dorm tour for a while but finally have cleaned up my room and taken pictures before it gets messy again. I will be in my apartment/dorm until May which is when I get to move into an actual apartment! I am so excited and will make sure that I show you my decorating for there. Anyways...

Let's Get Started!


This is my door that leads out to the hallway of my apartment/dorm. I have hung a shoe rack on the back to make use of space and I think it works well and then you also can't see it when the door is open. But either way I don't think it looks cluttered but instead neat. 


To the side of my door on the towel rack I have a hand towel hung up. I do not keep my shower towels here, I keep those hung up on the rack in the bathroom. I also have a hair styler holder here that I keep them in because it can be used when they are still hot. 


Turning a little bit you will run into my desk which I love. As you can see I have a picture board that I made myself that is full of pictures and then a lamp, picture frame, laptop, and Lilly planner.


Taking a closer look I have a mason jar that I DIYed myself that is full of pens and then right next to that some sticky notes. My favorite thing here is my Harry Potter daily calendar and then a cute precious moments next to it that my Grandpa gave to me for Christmas.


On the corner of my desk I have a few books that I think are far to pretty to just keep in a drawer. 


In the front drawer is office supply's that I reach for often. Along with my blog planner, mini notebook, and a book.


Taking another turn you will run into my closet. I hate the closet doors they are an ugly yellow so I hung up a black curtain to cover them up and I think it makes the room look pretty. 
The little sign I have on my closet door my little gave to me and it says, "The best thing about having a sister is that you always have a friend." Isn't that so cute!


This is my closet and it is busting at the seams I don't think I have room for anymore items. I color coordinate hangers to me it looks better then mixing hangers so for example all of my tank tops are on gray hangers. Down below I also have my extra shoes that cannot fit into the thing behind my door. I also keep my laundry basket in there. The baskets up on the top shelf have things like sports bras and socks in them.


This is my jean drawer. I keep my jeans in a drawer because they take up so much room when you hang them up and I also do not have room for them anyways.


This is my jammie drawer. I keep shorts I sleep in and pajama tops in here. I also have sweatpants and yoga pants in here. It's all my comfy clothes!


The bottom drawer I have scarves in. I used to have them on a hanger in my closet but it was too bulky and this also makes it easier to rummage through scarves when tying to find one.


This is an overview of my two dressers. I get ready here in the morning so I have a black stool there and all my daily makeup stuff out.


I have my big statement necklaces hung up because I think they look pretty and I like to see them. The rest of my jewelry I have in a thing that is hung up in my closet with little pockets.


A closer look.




I thought that the perfumes just looked to pretty in this not to have it out and alongside my most worn and favorite jewelry pieces. I have my Fossil watch, Pandora Charm Bracelet, pearl earrings, and my Chi Omega pin. They are in what I think is a candle holder but it is still super cute.


This is an overview at the end of my bed where I have all my bags hung up. It is not my favorite but I had no where else to put them.


Finally this is my bed. I have two cute little decorative pillows that my friends made me and then a string of lights with pictures which I think is cute. I also love my curtains! One thing that is great is that I can open my blinds and I still get sunlight in because they are sheer like but, from outside no one can see in and it just looks black. 

That is the end of my dorm tour and I hoped that you liked it. I am always looking for decorative ideas so if you have any posts relating to home decor link them down below because I would love to see!

Thank you so much for reading and taking a look!

Makeup Organization (Dorm Room Edition ~~ Makeup Monday)

Hi Everyone!

I once again have missed a Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday! I do have a reason this time though, I was moving back to college! Things had been so hectic but I am all settled now and back on track for makeup Monday. I thought with having just moved all my makeup I would show you how I organized it in my room.

Let's Get Started!

This year I live in on campus apartments so I actual have my own room. It is great and I love it so much better then sharing a tiny dorm room that also did not have air conditioning last year. So that being said I do have a little more room to store my makeup but here we go!


This is the dresser that I use to store my makeup in. The front of it I actually modge podged fabric onto with colors that would match my room.

Top Drawer: This drawer is where I keep most of my everyday essentials like: Contacts, clippers, tweezers, bobby pins, hair ties, hair clips, lip products, and random mini gel liners and primers.

2nd Drawer: This is where I also keep essentials such as makeup wipes, foundation, moisturizer, deodorant, and hair products. In here I also keep extra hair ties and bows. Extra mascara and eyeliners are also kept in the silver square in the back.

3rd Drawer: This is where I keep my everyday hair stuff and spray. Since I had extra room in this drawer I put my backup makeup for when my products run out.

4th Drawer: This is where I keep half of my nail polish and nail polish remover. I also have the stick on nail strips and fillers in here.

Bottom Drawer: This is where I have the rest of my nail polish. I also have this basically empty container which as Advil and makeup brush cleaner in it.

This is where I get ready and as you can see my brushes are in a glass container on the right and then my palettes are in a paper filler on the left.
This thing does not house any makeup but the top two glass containers do! The right one has mascara and eyeliners that I frequently use. The left one has my tall/long lip products on rollerball perfumes.


That is my makeup organization for my room! I do have two tips in keeping everything organized and neat:

1. Containers, Containers, Containers! I am someone who can not stand not having a home for everything. That is why I have so many little glass containers because it gives the products a place they are supposed to go and then I am less likely to just throw it someone and I always know where it is.

2. Store like things together. Like having one drawer for hair stuff of nail stuff. Also in containers put all eye things together or all eyeliners together.



I believe that is it for my makeup storage and on my life Wednesday I will be sharing with you what is in my school bag and then for fashion Friday it will be about some typical everyday college where. So there is a theme this week all about college but after this I am open to any suggestions for next weeks posts!

Thanks so much for Reading!
New posts every Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday!

If you would like to see what my full room looks like you can head over to my college and lifestyle blog. My post today is about Dorms & Roommates. There will even be a video of my dorm from last year and you can see where I kept my makeup when I shared a small room!
