Summer Vacation Series: What Kind of Luggage Would You Bring?

When It comes to Luggage, I'm a believer in "Size Matters". Since now with TSA your luggage has to be no my than 114 cm (45in), you need to make sure that if you tend to over pack...Like myself...make sure it doesn't exceed TSA approval because you will have to pay. For more information on Packing tips for TSA, check out TSA.gov.
Last year I discover the fabulousness that is hard shell luggages that are lightweight. They are really good, not that heavy and good to roll around. The luggage I use to have was a Delsey 24' Luggage...I love that luggage but the only thing that I didn't like about it was the weight of the luggage, I had my share of having to take out clothes out of my luggage so I didn't have to pay the fee and it's just an annoying feeling to have to take out my clothes in the middle of the airport to put them in my carry on or my mom's luggage. 
My new luggage that I have now is a Nine West Watercolor Flower 24' Suitcase that my mom brought me from Burlington Coat Factory last year for my fourth cruise vacation. It was really good to have, so I came with six different luggages, some are hard shell lightweight luggages and some are regular luggages but they are also lightweight too and also good to use when you go on vacation. 
One Tip: Make sure you know what you want to pack. Don't pack everything under the sun because you are not going to wear everything. Just make sure you know what you want to bring so that you don't bring a lot of stuff. 

What kind of luggages do you have? Are they lightweight? What advice do you have when it comes to packing?

Summer Vacation Series: What to Pack in A Carry On

Summer is HERE!!!
Finally time to have some fun and enjoy the beautiful weather and go on VACAY!! (lol.) Which is exactly what I will be doing this summer before I start my SENIOR YEAR of COLLEGE! (YAY!!) I'm going on a cruise vacation with my family for my cousin's wedding in August so now it's time to finally start packing a little piece by piece. I'm starting this Summer Vacation Series on What to pack in Your Carry On also including a #OOTD look that would be cute to wear when your traveling, so you can be comfortable and looking good at the same time. 


This is just somethings that I would bring with me on my carry on but instead of a DSLR Camera I would have a digital camera because I know I wouldn't have it in time for my vacation. This vacation I won't be bringing my laptop since I have my iPad Air, since it's more lightweight and more easy to carry themselves. You don't want your carry on to be too heavy. Also something else that I forgot to put is a extra outfit, just in case your luggage don't come in time or guess lost at least you have extra clothes to have on so you don't want to wear the same clothes twice. You want to be fabulous and refresh for you travel, doesn't matter what you take.

Be on the look out for the next installment of the "Summer Vacation Series" on Tuesday!

XOXO,

Since I'm not able to go away for spring break, I'm so happy about this cruise because it's my cousin's wedding cruise. So it's time to get down to business, SHOPPING!!

That's their very thing to do when we are on a cruise vacation. So of course, I have to have a fabulous bathing suit also. I been looking around for different website for cute bathing suits until I came across my favorite website, Forever 21. Forever 21 never steer me wrong, ever!

College Girl Inc.: How To Be Stress Free During Midterm Season

Midterms! What can I really say about them other than it is stressful part of college life and we all go through it. Right now, I have one Midterm to finish and I'm not ready for it but I know I will do do well. I'm always stressed out when it comes to Midterms and I know I'm not the only one either. But do not fret, because I have some ways to make your Midterm season, a very smooth sailing season.

1. Most of people don't do this but it is very helpful, listen to music. Either music you like but not the type of music that distract you. Me, for example, I love to listen to Soca and Reggae music because it works for me and it gets me pumped up to study. 

2. Study Buddies are very useful and reliable to use...utilize it to the best of your abilities. Working in groups makes the workload less stress because you are around people who have one goal, to pass. You make sure your cool with people in your class, get their contact information and set up a Study Buddy date just to study.

3. DO NOT STUDY ON YOUR BED!!!! The worst thing to do is study on your bed because you will not get anything to done because you WILL fall asleep. Trust me, I've been through this plenty of times when I start to study or even when I do homework. Find a place that is comfortable, like a desk, a dinner table or you can even study in school (In a quiet area because loud areas are not the best!) It will avoid you sleeping on yourself. 

4. EAT A SNACK OR FOOD!! You cannot study on an empty stomach. I've tried it before and NO it does not work at all. You have to be functionally and functioning without any food in your stomach is the worst thing to do. Make sure you have a decent snack or reasonable food to eat in your system. Food is like our gas and our body is our car, when a car runs out of gas it means it's time to fill up. So EAT!!

5. Always make sure to talk to your professor when it comes down to your midterm. To make sure you are studying the right things because you don't want to be that person when you study and it was completely wrong. The professor is there to help you and to refresh what's on your study guide. 

6. Remember GET A GOOD NIGHT'S REST. You want you eight hours or more so you can be completely refresh when it come to your Midterms. You don't want to come to your exam looking like death, run over...it's not a great look. You want to be refresh and ready to kick this Midterm in the butt. 

7. BE CONFIDENT. You got this! Smoothing words also work so that the workload doesn't stress you out. Be confident, you own this Midterm, not the other way around.

I hope this helps you out, even though most of you guys finished with Midterms, us in NYC are now in Midterm season!! There's always next semester, you know that you will be prepared and confident in your exams. 

How do you stay stress free during exams?

XOXO,

Saturday's Pick of The Day: iPad Air

I've always been a big fan of the Apple iPad, something I always wanted for a very long time. When the first generation iPad came out in 2010, I was really interested in getting one but you know parents, they are not going to spend so much money on something so big...and it was big. The only thing I didn't like about the first generation iPad was they didn't have a camera on it, until the second generation iPad came out with the camera on it...they got my attention again.
The one I really wanted to get was the iPad Mini because of it being portable and easy to put in your bag without it adding weight to your bag. Until recently, the iPad Air came out in 2013, I was in love!! With it's slick and thin look and weightless feel of it...I was determined to get it. I was very happy when my dad brought me one as a birthday gift because I really needed one for school, because I hate using my laptop because it's so big and it weighs a ton on my shoulder. Me, being a English major and a blogger, I needed a portable piece of equipment and that's where the iPad Air comes along. 
I have the iPad Air 16GB with WiFi for T-Mobile and since I've had it I always use it for school and to write my papers for class it's very helpful. A lot of my friends asks what app I use to write my papers for school, I tell them it's a new app from Apple called Pages. 
 Apple's Pages App

That's the app I use to do my homework and papers for my classes, it is very useful. I also use other apps to write my blog, do other school work and etc.  Another app I use on my iPad Air is the iMovie app, I use that to make my YouTube videos because I don't have a MacBook so I don't know any good software to do my video editing...if anyone know a good video editing software for my PC, it would be greatly appreciated.
After using my iPad Air for almost a month, I can honestly say it is worth it, it's even better to have it from your Cell Phone provider it might be a little cheaper to get then getting it from the Apple store. Because when you get it from the Apple store you don't get the WiFi that is attached with it but you do get the Internet, of course. My iPad Air is more of my notebook than a device since I use it for all my classes and also to do my blog posting. 
iPads are just a good investment to have just like a laptop, so you would be investing in something well worth it. 

XOXO,

Friday's Pick of The Day: Rimmel London Moisture Renew Lipstick Review

I'm not a fan of red lipstick, but when I got this lipstick, my views on red completely changed. I wanted to test out the lipstick for three days to see how it look, it's really moisturizing and also if it can last all day. I will give my 100% honest opinion on this product, the good and the bad.
Day One

I just love the color and how it blends with my skin tone, which is a plus for me because I've tried other red lipstick before and it just didn't work for me. That's why I don't always buy red lipstick. Rimmel London Moisture Renew is very moisturizing I love that. It has a nice smooth feel when you put it on your lips, you don't want to take it off. It's just too cute for words because I love it. When I take off the lipstick, it still feels moisturized after taking it off. 

  Day Three

I gave the good, now here's the bad. Even though I did love the lipstick I did have some things I didn't like about it. First, I didn't like the fact that it wasn't a long lasting lipstick for all day. I put on the lipstick at 8:20am but by 9:15am, the lipstick was fading.
  You barely see the lipstick, I wish it was more long lasting. It does leave a little lip tint on it but it can be a little better. It does take a long to take off my lips but other than those two concerns on the lipstick. Overall, I love the lipstick and I will be using it again. Just beautiful. If you want a cute, wearable lipstick that works for you skin tone and looks cute than this is the lipstick for you. Trust me, you will love it!!
What are you favorite lipsticks to wear?

XOXO,

Thursday's Pick of The Day: Origami Owl

I love a nice piece of jewelry whether it's on my neck, on my ear or on my fingers. This piece of jewelry is something that I always wanted for myself because its your life and the things you love in a necklace or bracelet. Origami Owl are custom made jewelry, it's very unique because everyone would have the same things you would have, which makes me more of a beautiful piece to have in your collection. 
Origami Owl was started by Isabella “Bella” Weems when she was 14 years old. For her 16th Birthday, she wanted a car for her birthday, her parents told her she has to work to get her car. She started to do babysitting work and thats when the creation of Origami Owl came to be.
Bella has made Origami Owl into Million Dollar company something she didn't dream that it would be this big. I wouldn't of thought something like that in my mind because it was an amazing idea to come up with a beautiful piece of jewelry like this. 
Even though you can buy it from the actual website itself, there are actual Origami Owl Jewelry Bar, where you have a party to sell different pieces to put into your locket. Also you can also be a hostess and sell the product to friends, family, etc. There are perks to being a Origami Owl Hostess, if you are interested in selling Origami Owl. here's the link: Origami Owl Hostess and any other information you would like to know about the brand, check out Origami Owl
If you own a piece of Origami Owl Jewelry, leave your comments below, I would like to know what you think about it and what's you favorite piece in your locket.

XOXO,

Spirit Football Jersey...How Can I Compare Thee??

(c)sororitydrunk.blogspot.com

When I'm in love with a particular article of clothing, I will let it be known from the rooftop, This is one of them. I been in L-O-V-E with the Spirit Football Jersey, since I saw one of my favorite YouTube Guru (Sarahbelle93x) showing one in her hauls. So let me give you a little mini history about the Spirit Football Jersey: Made in the USA becoming very popular with sororities, fraternities, colleges and sports teams. With its comfortable, the features the unmistakable bold back print in our famous puff font and unique drop-shoulder design. 
 I want to get Spirit Football Jersey but the only thing I don't like about it, is that you have to buy them in bulks, you should be able to get them individual without having to get them in bulks. There are different places that you can go, that sells them individually. So have been looking for other websites to get them individually. This is the ultimate jersey, very comfortable, big and soft. 
I do have questions for people who do the the Spirit Football Jersey, did some of y'all get in bulks or did you go to a particular website to get them individually?  I really want to get one with my sorority and just a regular spirit jersey, also if you have a Spirit Jersey I would like to here your reviews about it.

Here are some websites you can check out if you want a individual Spirit Football Jersey:

Miami Lovin' - Summer Cruise Cutie!!!

As you know last October, I went on a family cruise to the Caribbeans. It was cool but I wish there was more fun things to do but being with my family is fun enough for me. After this Cruise, we found out my cousin and his fiancée is having a summer cruise wedding this year in August and of course, I will be on that cruise thanks to my parents and sister. 
We are leaving from Miami, Florida and we are going on a 7 day Eastern Caribbean Cruise with Carnival. So this time I will be doing a look for each day, from the day we embark on the cruise from the time we disembark from the cruise. This year I'm going with my family but I'm traveling with my dad and little brother to Miami. 
So the first look is the day we get into Miami. Being in New York, the summertime is crazy hot but down in Miami is extra hot but I will be ready for that but I got to leave my state in style as always.

Miami Lovin'


This look is what I would go for when I'm leaving New York for Miami, something comfortable but also looking cute at the same time because you never know who you run into on your way to Miami. It's always fun to go on vacation during the summer because of the many other people who will be going on vacation too, especially on a cruise vacation. This will be my fifth cruise that I will be going on and im very blessed to be able to go on cruises with my family and have a good time. I can't wait to go on my first Wedding cruise with my family, it's going to be so much fun.

XOXO,

App Blitz: GoGreekPro Stickers by HappyMonkeyApps

Now if anyone doesn't know, I am in a sorority and I love anything Greek and cute. I actually came across this app on Instagram and I was giving the honor to tested out the app, basically give my reviews on the app. I just couldn't pass up that opportunity, so I was able to check out GoGreekPro. 
Checking out GoGreekPro, I liked it off the first bat. As you know, Spring Rush is here and of course, my sorority have already started Rush and I came made a cute. 
This what I made with GoGreekPro and I love it, it's cute and something different than what i'm use to seeing while I promote for Spring Rush. Of course, I have a some Pros and Cons about the App itself, nothing negative just giving my 100% opinion on the app.

Pros: GoGreekPro have different features that makes the app very unique and fun. Different colors for the letters and also different stickers that shows for College life and Greek Life. You can take plain Greek photo, and add these cute stickers to make to cute and fun. 
Cons: The only problem I have with the stickers is I wish there was some more colors for the Greek letters, not only patterns but also but also solid colors. Also with the stickers, they should add more mascots to the stickers so more people can be able to put their org's mascot on their picture. I know that I want to be able to show my mascots (The Swan or Aphrodite) on my pictures but I'm unable to. 

Other than that, I really enjoy the app and I already know some of my friends who actually got the app and they enjoy it also. I can't to see what the future holds for HappyMonkeyApps because I know it will be great. Love the App!!

College Girl Inc. - Sorority Life (NYC Edition)

(c) Google

Hey High School/College Girls,
Now I know around this time, school are sending out invites for recruitment for September, trying to find what sorority fits them, on YouTube or doing research on the different sororities at their school. As many of my fabulous readers know, I go to school in Brooklyn and I commute to school. At my school, we have a lot of local sororities and only two national sororities. Every school is very different when it comes to recruiting new members especially at some of the colleges in New York City. My sorority, Sigma Rho Phi Multicultural Sorority, Inc., was founded in City College of New York, part of the College University of New York (CUNY) and so is my school, Brooklyn College. 
I was able to pledge for my sorority because of being part of the CUNY system, meaning I'm able to come into any of the 30 colleges & universities that are part of CUNY. Hopefully, I'm not confusing anyone...(lol). Now I know colleges outside of NYC is very different, to my opinion, I've watching YouTube videos on how the Rush process goes. From my personal views, how Rush is done is, they have Informational (Which is a brief synopsis of the sorority and what they do, etc.), after they do that they have Rush Events (either an outing, mixers with other sororities or fraternities, potlucks, etc.) With the local sorority you have to come to at least a certain amount of events (like 4 or 5 events plus 1 informational) and if you are what they are looking for, then you are giving a bid. 
I know in some schools, they have either a formal rush or an informal rush, in my school, it's more of an informal rush than a formal. The only time you have to dress in business attire is during informational, every other event, you wear casual clothes. Everyone's rush is different from each other especially in New York City, different colleges have Rush a differently than other sororities.

Be on the look out for new posts from my newest topic, College Girl Inc. (The insider on girls in colleges and girls about to start college...and how to deal with college life from City Girl's perspective.)

Happy Summer,

Guest Post! Tips on How to Protect Yourself for the Summertime & Homemade Skin Care Recipe


 Hey Everyone,
I was please to have my first guest post from Michelle Pino, an employee from a Spa in Upstate New York called Skana. I was very happy that she pinch this blog post to me about taking care of your skin in the summer and making a homemade skin care recipe. I hope you all enjoy this post because I enjoy reading it.



Garden Variety Natural Summer Skin Care


Summer is that enthralling time of year characterized by outdoor barbecues and lazy days spent at the beach. Although the warmth and sunshine are part of what makes the season special, these summer elements are known to wreak havoc on the skin that is seen many years after the initial damage is inflicted. While one cannot spend one's life in a bubble, there are ways to minimize summer's harsh effects through the application of soothing natural skin care products.

Do It Yourself Summer Skin Care
People are becoming more aware of the dangers of the parabens and petrochemicals prevalent in today's popular skin care product brands, and many have decided to take matters into their own hands literally. That's right; many times they are skipping the expensive yet safer, commercially available “natural” skin care products and are heading straight to the kitchen cupboard this summer. Here is what they know.

·         Natural ingredients containing antioxidants fight free radicals even externally
·         Antioxidants are more effective when used fresh
·         Natural fruit acids gently exfoliate skin
·         Natural oils help skin retain moisture

A super nourishing, after beach skin care mask embodies all four of the elements of great natural skin care listed above, and happily, all the ingredients for the mask are common to the average kitchen pantry. The spa experts of New York resort, Turning Stone, developed the below luxurious skin mask. 

To make this luxurious skin mask, you’ll need:
1 good-sized tomato
1 avocado
half of a lime



Method:
  • The tomato should be squeezed into juice with its pulp to obtain a quarter cup of the juice; an additional tomato should be used if the original tomato is not large enough to yield a quarter cup of juice.

  • The avocado should be peeled and mashed to garner one cup, and two of them may be needed to yield the required one cup.

  • After squeezing the lime to get one tablespoon of fresh juice, mix the three ingredients to form the skin mask.

  • Prior to applying the rich mixture to the skin, rinse the face with warm water to open pores. Afterwards, the mixture should be immediately applied in a generous portion to the face and remain on the face for thirty-five to forty minutes. During that time, it is normal for the skin to tingle largely due to the exfoliating effects of the fruit acid in the tomato and lime juice. After the allotted time has expired, rinse the face with warm water and follow it with cold water to close up the pores.

The result of using this completely safe all natural mask is soft, smooth, and glowing skin with no traces of summer sun damage. The fresh antioxidants and gentle fruit acids serve to brighten, purify, and erase the lines caused by the harsh summer ultraviolet rays. The resulting softness definitely comes from the natural oils in the avocado. This guacamole style skin mask is the perfect ending to a day spent enjoying sunny sea breezes at the beach or a walk at one's favorite park.


I hope you all enjoy it and Thank you, Michelle Pino from Skana for your fabulous post. Ladies, take care of yourself during the summer and be protective of your body and stay fabulous.

XOXO,

PGTC's Summer Reading List

Hey Everyone,
This is my first ever summer reading list and honestly, this is going to be fun to do. I been getting recommendations on different types of books from my sister and cousin. Here are some of the books I plan on reading and what I'm reading for the summer. I hope y'all enjoy it. 

1. The Great Gatsby By: F. Scott Fitzgerald
I read this book when I was in high school, it was a great book and since the movie came out, I needed to reread the book again. It is a classic book, if you haven't read it then you don't know what you are missing. Great Book.

2. Silver Linings Playbook By Matthew Quick
Good Movie, Great Book. I actually read the book before seeing the movie and I was very impressed the relationship within the book. I can't give it all away that would just spoil it. A must read book for the summer.

3. Vain By: Fisher Amelie 
My cousin actually recommend this book to me. I haven't started reading it yet but if my cousin recommends me a book to read, then I know it's good. I will be doing a book review on this book soon. Be on the look out.

4. Prep By Curtis Sittenfeld
I brought this book on my Kindle, I haven't read it yet since I'm reading a book right now. I can't wait to read this book. Book Review coming soon. 

5. Tiger Lily By Jodi Lynn Anderson
I heard a lot of good reviews on this book which made me interested to read it. It's basically Peter Pan before Windy Darling and her brothers came into the picture. It's a love story. I started to read parts of it because I brought a sample of the story before I brought the book. I'm going to start reading this book again. 

I have a lot more books to read but these books are part of my summer reading. If you have any books to recommend, please don't hesitate to comment below. What's in your summer reading list? What books interest you?

XOXO,
