self-worth

is important to have. new years is coming up and i've decided that my number one new years resolution is to work on liking myself. everyone has problems with accepting themselves for who and what they are and if you try to tell me you are an exception i will call you a liar. for a long time now, i've struggled with body image and any other insecurities that your typical human being suffers from but we only have one chance to live out our lives on this earth and not using my one chance for all its worth would be my biggest mistake. xoxo. maggie.

ps. i haven't been posting much lately because i've been at a loss for words so expect more music, video and photo posts more than written word pieces for a little while. <3

halloweekend.

halloween was full of great people but unfortunately lacking in great parties. thursday night, uvm jumpstarted our halloween excitement with the "dawn of the shred" railjam put on by sugarbush parks and the uvm ski and snowboard club. my housemates and myself had been planning a wild basement shindig the following night to kick-off the weekend festivities but, as luck would have it, it poured through the entirety of thursday night, into the morning and by afternoon our basement was home to at least an inch of disgusting water. perfect.

although the parties were not bountiful, the three nights of halloween celebrated in burlington, vermont were not a complete let-down. my best friend was up visiting as well as several of my other favourites. here are some photos of the different costumes that we partied with. xoxo. maggie.

i just received this necklace in the mail that i ordered online via refinery29 boutiques. i can't say enough about this site. it allows you to browse some of your favourite high-end boutiques in the united states and purchase items all from one shopping cart. the orders are sent individually to each boutique and your items are shipped! this little treat, a "sweet nothings" pendant from in god we trust, is my new favourite necklace and i can assure you it won't be coming off for some time. in god we trust has more than just adorable customizable jewelry and accessories.. the rest of their jewelry collection is absolutely fantastic and if i had unlimited funds, all of it would be mine. xoxo. maggie.

whether or not you appreciate a good read, this essay can resonate within any person that has any connection with their own emotions. i'm not a big science person so initially, i wasn't extremely intrigued by the title and opening of this essay. luckily, the scientific explanations were presented in laymens terms so it wasn't difficult to get through the fun facts and into the heart of the matter. brian doyle's piece on life, the existence of feelings that we project through the typical cliche of the heart, varying lifespans of the creatures of our earth, and the different heartwrenching situations that we will all inevitably experience at least once in our short and possibly insignificant lives hits hard with all readers- or at least everyone that's read it that i've spoken with so far. but enough of my opinion, read this and make your own. xoxo. maggie.
