My Top Wear No Evil Factors, Part II

Happy Friday and happy Labor Day weekend! I hope you all enjoyed my 101 in 1001 list that I posted on Wednesday for my birthday. The past few years I had posted roundups of "what I learned" and for this new year, I wanted to focus on goal-setting and actionable tasks that I could complete and feel proud of.

Last week, I shared a mini book review of Wear No Evil by Greta Eagan, the blogger behind Fashion Me Green. As promised, this week I'm sharing my Top 5 Factors that I want to incorporate into my regular fashion purchases. Without further ado, here are my five favorite factors, all compiled into a neat little graphic.

S T Y L E
As Eagan says, this is the most important factor to consider. Buying something you'll never wear just because it is ethically made won't serve you or anyone else well. So of course, style is #1.

F A I R   T R A D E
During my freshman spring, I took an introductory business class and distinctly remember reading this article about strawberry pickers in California. Four four years and beyond, this article has stuck with me, as have many other articles I have read since about issues regarding fair wages and proper conditions for workers. The article wasn't about the fashion industry, but the same rules apply there, making this one of my top 5 factors.

L O C A L
Purchasing locally made fashion helps stimulate the local economy, support entrepreneurs within the USA and eliminates carbon emissions from importing the goods. Local production also creates less waste because designers can tailor the number of garments produced based on knowledge of how each item will sell. This article is really interesting in talking about why local fashion is important!

S O C I A L
Supporting fashion that is linked to a cause is one really great way to get involved with sustainability slowly. It makes a great conversation when someone compliments an article of clothing, because you can engage with others in telling them why supporting sustainable fashion is so important. One of my favorite brands that exemplifies this is Warby Parker, but TOMS is another wonderful example of this.

T R A N S P A R E N C Y
If you have dabbled in the world of sustainable fashion, then you know a thing or two about Everlane. I swear, they have the best Instagram Stories! My favorite segment is Transparency Tuesday, which is hosted by Isadora. Every week, followers can send in LITERALLY anything that they want to know about the Everlane brand, and Isadora will answer it! If she doesn't know the answer herself, she is always finding someone who does. Whether it is talking about their factory arrangements, new sustainable fabrics, or how to style their pieces, I seriously learn something new every single week! It feels fresh to have a company that is so honest, so I hope more companies follow suit.

101 Things in 1001 Days

Happy 23rd birthday to me! This year, I wanted to start my very own 101 Things in 1001 Days list, inspired by Mackenzie and the many other bloggers who have also decided to take on this challenge. Essentially this is an almost-3-year-long bucket list and I am so excited to see how many of these goals I accomplish!

Packing for a Beach Trip featuring the InfluenceHer Essentials Kit

Happy Monday everyone! It's my birthday week and I have a lot of fun posts planned to share for the occasion. First, I wanted to pop in with a InfluenceHer Collective collaboration. Thanks to the Fall Edition of the InfluenceHer Essentials Kit, I have everything I need for weekend trips to the beach through Labor Day weekend and hopefully some of September as well.

Here are some of my absolute must-haves when I'm at the beach for the weekend.

W A T E R   B O T T L E

This summer the weather has been so weird every time I am at the beach! Either pouring rain or so so hot and sunny that I can't sit out for very long. I love lounging at the beach while listening to a podcast or reading a book, but when the wind stops it is almost unbearable to sit on the beach in the blazing sun. Once or twice, I even had to leave early because I tend to feel faint in that kind of weather. One thing that does help with this though is to always carry a water bottle with ice cold water to sip while sitting on the beach. I love the S'well bottles because they keep everything really cold and I even bought special ice cube trays so that I could put ice in my S'well bottle.

B O O K

As I just mentioned, I love reading while I'm on the beach. I always bring at least 2 books with me on my trips in case I finish one book. Then, I can always start a second one. I also love reading magazines on the beach but all of my favorites are not in publication any more (who remembers Lucky?) What magazines do y'all read each month?

My current read is The Regulars by Georgia Clark and I have been really enjoying it. If you want to keep up with my reading list and see daily updates of how far along I am in certain books, definitely follow my Goodreads account!

B A C K P A C K   O R   T O T E

Whenever I am at the beach for a weekend, we always pack one "beach bag" and one "book bag" so that we can keep books and papers away from sunscreen and sand. The High Sierra Elly backpack that was included in the InfluenceHer Essentials Kit is such a great backpack for this purpose! It has a neat drawstring top that pulls together so you can tie the big compartment off and not get any sand in your books. It also has a laptop compartment (my laptop is too big for the pouch but if you have a smaller laptop I think it would fit perfectly!), inside pockets and one pocket on the outside that is perfect for stashing gum, extra cash, or chapstick. My water bottle fits perfectly in the side pocket and the backpack also comes with a matching pencil pouch. 

L O T I O N

Another great item from the InfluenceHer Essentials Kit that I have started carrying with me everywhere is the Bliss Lemon and Sage Body Butter. Not only does this smell amazing, but it also dries really quickly and keeps you moisturized all day long. I always hate using lotion at the beach because it makes you all sticky and then it's extra hard to pull up your bathing suit or pants (who else is experiencing this #summerstruggle?) but I LOVE that the Bliss lotion doesn't do that at all! The InfluenceHer Essentials Kit also comes with a whole boatload of this lotion in the full and travel sizes, so you can keep one at home, one in your beach bag, in your locker, or wherever your heart desires!

P R O T E I N   B A R S

As a busy college student, I started buying protein bars by the box last year to have when I was running out the door to class or dance practice. Luckily, they also make the perfect snack for the beach so that you can stay full longer and soak up as many rays as possible before heading home. My InfluenceHer Essentials Kit included yummy Garden of Life protein bars in both the Chocolate Sea Salt and the Maple Sea Salt flavors. This brand is incredible for its organic and non-GMO ingredients, no added sugar, and for being gluten free! A total win for those of us who are adding sustainable snacking into our lives.

L I P   G L O S S

Maybe not an essential while sitting on the beach, but lip gloss is always a must for going out later in the day for dinner, a night of mini golf, or a bike ride around the town. Getting dressed up after a day at the beach when you are ~glowing~ with a tan is one of my favorite things, and lip gloss completes the look. The Almay Goddess Glosses from the InfluenceHer Essentials Kit are perfect for achieving this bronzed goddess look. I love that Almay offers the Goddess Glosses in a wide range of colors - some that will work in the warm weather and others that can carry me all the way into holiday season.

S L E E P   M A S K

Last but not least, a sleep mask is so important to have on hand for a beach trip! During the summer it's no joke that the sun rises super early in the morning, and I always feel like it's exaggerated when at the beach. In order to make sure that it's lights out for as long as possible, a sleep mask will help so that you aren't up at 5:00 AM with the sunrise. That's not to say don't watch the sunrise if you are into that sort of thing, but I love to catch as many Zzz's as possible unless I am purposefully trying to be up with the sun. The one included in the InfluenceHer Essentials Kit is from the HerCampus shop and has the cutest message!

Wear No Evil Book Review, Part I

Happy Friday! This has been such a long week... I was teaching a dance camp in the morning with young children and I forgot how hard it is to keep up with kids, even for just a few hours. At the end of last year, my Spotify top songs were all Kidz Bop and Disney because I spent so many hours working at the studio (and playing the same songs over and over. Moana anyone?) Even though I only spent one week this summer doing that job, I am so ready for a nice weekend of relaxation AND heading into my birthday week next week!

For today's post, I wanted to chat about a book I recently read called Wear No Evil, which is about aligning sustainability and ethics with good fashion sense. I wasn't sure that I was going to love this book from the start, but I was overall impressed with the guidelines that Greta Eagan (who is also a blogger, by the way!) laid out for choosing pieces that make you look and feel good.

Her method consists of 16 factors that make a garment ethical or not. They are listed below:

1. Natural and Low-Impact Dyeing: What Color Is It?
2. Natural Fibers: What's It Made Of?
3. Organic: How Is It Grown?
4. Fair Trade: Who Makes It?
5. Recycled and Upcycled: Was It Ever Something Else?
6. Local: Was It Made Nearby?
7. Social: What Does It Stand For?
8. Zero Waste: What Was Left Behind?
9. Slow Fashion: How Much Thought Was Put Into It?
10. Vegan: Is It Animal Friendly?
11. Water Footprint: How Thirsty Is It?
12. Transparency: How Much Are They Telling Me?
13. Cradle to Cradle: What Happens When I'm Done With It?
14. Convertible: What Else Can It Do?
15. Secondhand: Who Else Wore It?
16. Style: How Sweet Is It?

Basically, what Eagan suggests is that everyone choose 4-5 factors that are most important and judge all future purchases based on those factors. Also, Factor #16, Style, is a MUST. As Eagan says, "if a piece of fashion is produced in a more sustainable or ethical way but falls short on the fashion front, it cannot be a real contender as a wardrobe builder." 

Every time you make a future purchase, pull out the mental list of factors that are important to you and assess the garment, the brand, etc. Some of this will be obvious but sometimes this will require research behind-the-scenes. Style is the number one factor that must be met, but if you can "fill the bases" with other factors, that item will be an even better addition to your closet. The goal is to always meet at least two of your 4-5 chosen factors, but the more criteria checked off, the better.

This methodology is so simple and easy to follow, that I feel a lot less pressure about trying to add sustainability into my life now. Of course, the book goes into way more detail about what things mean, providing workbook pages, and offering outfit suggestions with real items from real sustainable brands. She even touches on beauty and menswear for the gentlemen in our lives. Next week, I'll be sharing which factors are most important to me, and I hope to start incorporating more sustainable options in my fashion and beauty posts.

Midweek Five | August 22

It's time for another Midweek Five! I can't believe August is almost over and back to school is starting...

I went to see Crazy Rich Asians last night and OMG it was amazing! The film was so well done, from the fashion to the casting to how closely the movie matched the book. While they didn't touch on every detail of the book, the directors really did justice to Kevin Kwan's story and I LOVED it. I both laughed out loud and cried multiple times throughout and highly recommend seeing this incredible film if you haven't already!

My 23rd birthday is a week from today! One of the things I am excited to look into is improving my skincare routine. A while back I found this cool infographic about what skincare products you need in your 20s, 30s, etc. I need to jump on the serum bandwagon, and I'm mostly curious about serums or products that help reduce dark circles and puffiness under my eyes. Since college ended, I haven't totally been able to rid myself of under-eye bags, so if you have any product recs I should try out, let me know!

T H R E E

On a similar note, I wanted to share a few of the items on my birthday wishlist. This year, I am more interested in spending time with friends and family than getting gifts, but if I had to pick a few standout items that I would love to get, it would be a bike, slip on sneakers, and a jade roller. Also, what do adults do for their birthday? I want to have a fun time with friends but I am struggling to come up with a celebration plan.

F O U R

I am a little bit too eager for fall to come after I caught a peek of the Tuckernuck August Lifestyle Guide. I am head over heels for the white on white outfit pictured. I rocked something similar at Thanksgiving last year, but this year I want to take the plunge and wear more winter whites.

F I V E

Three shows/movies I have been using for major fall fashion inspo are Gilmore Girls, When Harry Met Sally and the Parent Trap. Glad to see I'm not the only one reaching for those 80s and 90s vibes after seeing Carly write this post last week.

L'Oreal Lash Paradise Mascara Review

I've been using this L'Oreal Lash Paradise mascara for a little while now, and I have been meaning to post my thoughts about it to share with you all. This mascara is widely considered a dupe for the Too Faced Better than Sex mascara, but for only a fraction of the price.

I like the packaging of this mascara, and it really does look like the Too Faced one. The tube is skinny and sleek, so it doesn't take up a lot of space. I also like that this is part of the Voluminous line, which is my favorite for drugstore mascaras even before I tried this one. 

I wish that the product came in more colors (I always try to get Blackest Black or Carbon Black but I couldn't find either in this formula). I also notice that this mascara is harder to find in my makeup bag, whereas some of the other Voluminous mascara tubes are a bit larger or chunkier. 

The overall effect that this mascara has on my lashes is really nice. I think my lashes look long, full and well-coated after applying this mascara. The wand isn't plastic, so it is a lot softer on the eyes and doesn't hurt or poke when you are applying. The downside of the wand (and maybe also the way the tube is designed?) is that every time you pull the wand out, there is so much extra mascara clumped on the brush that you then have to wipe off. I feel like this is wasteful and potentially dangerous if you end up with a glob of mascara in your eye. You can kind of see the excess I am talking about in the pictures below, and you can also see what I look like with the mascara on, via silly selfie.

To be fair, I have naturally long eyelashes to begin with and very dark hair. Just about any mascara I use works decently well for me because my lashes are pretty nice to begin with. I have no issues with the Lash Paradise mascara, except for the globs of product on the end of the wand, and the almost-too-sleek packaging. This is a nice mascara that defines my lashes well and lasts all day. I just don't find it to be any sort of miracle mascara. Once I use up this tube, I will probably go back to my old favorite, the L'Oreal Voluminous Million Lashes mascara.

Have you tried this mascara? What did you like/dislike about it?

Mini College Q+A

Happy Friday! A lot of people are starting to pack up and move back into college (some of you are already there!) and high school seasons are also gearing up as well. I asked on my Tumblr page and on Instagram if anyone had college questions, or questions about Johns Hopkins in particular, and I got a couple of replies so I thought I would do a mini Q+A with the questions I have received so far! If there is something else you want to know, comment below or send me a DM on any of my social media platforms.

A C A D E M I C S

What type of person do the admissions officers at Hopkins look for?

Hopkins has a very well-rounded application that targets different aspects of your schooling, personality, and fit with the student body. You of course can look up the statistics like average SAT score, high school class rankings, and other qualitative data to see if you match up, but Hopkins is way more than that. The student body is incredibly vibrant, dedicated to particular issues and activities, and is driven but still collaborative. In my experience as a student and as a campus tour guide, I think that Hopkins students are self-starters and want to succeed, but are not going to throw others under the bus to achieve their goals. We want others to do their best as well and are humbled by the opportunity to learn and grow with other brilliant minds. Another thing that I think is important about Hopkins and what you/the admissions counselors look for is that Hopkins is by no means an easy place to be. It is very easy to get caught up in the pressure of being there, and so it is important to evaluate on both ends whether or not you will handle that environment in a productive and healthy way or not. 

I have heard negative things about the way classes are graded. Do you know how this affects you in the future?

Class grading is very dependent on the department, professor, and course style. Courses with two exams in the semester may be graded differently than those with essays/papers or weekly homeworks. Professors at Hopkins are free to create their own grading system, though usually all professors in the same department have some mutual agreement on how to grade. In math and science courses, there may be no definitive grading scale until the end of the semester, at which point professors may curve class grades to fit a normal distribution curve. Some professors choose to curve once at the end, while others curve individual assignments.

The vast majority of my courses were not curved at all, and a grading scale was listed on the course syllabuses. This was convenient for being able to calculate grades and GPAs in advance. Had I been in a math or science major, I likely would have had less of an idea how I was doing in classes until I got my grade at the end of the semester.

I was not on a pre-professional track so I don't have any insight to how this type of grading would affect applications to medical, law or any other graduate program. My instinct would be that as long as you keep track of your grades, meet with professors to discuss where you stand, and make an effort to study hard for those curved classes, you should be fine.

S T U F F   T O    D O

Is there stuff to do around Hopkins? Are there places you can walk to?

There is a lot of stuff to do in the area! Hopkins is located in the Charles Village neighborhood which has lots of places to get food, coffee, and hang out. It is also close to the Remington and Hampden neighborhoods, which have more restaurants, bars, and shopping. You can walk to Remington and Hampden easily, especially during the warmer months. The Roland Park neighborhood is also not far. Sometimes my roommates would walk to the supermarket in that area if it was nice out and they only needed a few things.

Besides the areas in walking distance, the university provides great free transportation around the city and offers a variety of shuttle services and buses. Baltimore City also has its own free shuttle service.

S O R O R I T I E S

What is one thing you wish you knew going into sorority recruitment?

There are a whole bunch of things I wish I knew, but honestly I would say that I wish we were taught how the computer matching program works. When I joined the Panhellenic team in my junior year, one of our training meetings went through a breakdown of how the computer system works, what the algorithms do, and why you can't beat the system. This was one of my most revolutionary breakthroughs! It was super helpful to know and it put a lot of the stress, upset, and disappointment into perspective for me. Now of course not everyone is going to have a negative recruitment experience - a lot of people will have an amazing time and end up exactly where they wanted! But for those people who are left confused, or if you are like me and want to know the why and how of everything, learning about the algorithms was so so important.

Has being in a sorority changed your life? Would you still make the choice to go through recruitment?

Absolutely! Being in a sorority has been an amazing experience for me. There were a lot of associated growing pains but looking back on my time now that I have graduated, I would not change it for the world. As a sorority woman, I gained confidence, self-awareness, leadership skills, and learned how to let loose and be silly sometimes. I have the best friends in the world to thank for going through it with me, and for letting me make mistakes, goof off too much, and for always keeping me in check. I would do sorority life a million times over.

That's all the questions for today! If you have something college-related that you want answered, be sure to comment or message me.

Midweek Five | August 15

Time for another midweek five! So much has gone in the almost month that I haven't posted, so there's a lot of potential ground to cover.

Seeing movies is one of my favorite things to do in the evenings or when it's a rainy day, and my most recent watch in theatres was Mamma Mia 2! It was so good even though it didn't have as many of the original ABBA hits as the first movie. Plus, my college roommate and I (and Fran!) agreed that Young Bill was super cute, which was a bonus. Have you seen it yet? Next up on my list of movies to see is Christopher Robin.

I have been reading so many books that I started a Goodreads account! I like to rotate different types of books so you can see all the different genres I have been enjoying recently, from fiction to business. I also set up a book challenge for myself! Podcasts are becoming another favorite of mine and I am looking for lots of new suggestions! Right now I love The Glossy Podcast and Gals on the Go with Brooke and Danielle.

All summer long I have been doing a great job of keeping my nails long and polished. Growing up I had a really bad habit of biting my nails and I find that keeping nail polish on my nails prevents me from messing with them. Regardless, they are still pretty weak and break very easily, so I started taking biotin supplements and am hoping to see some results soon.

Last week, my roommate Lauren came to visit me at home and we had such a fun time. One of my favorite things we did was go to Grounds for Sculpture, which is a really cool sculpture garden, park and art installation. If you are ever in the Princeton, NJ area and looking for a unique activity, I highly recommend!

F I V E

As you can guess from the picture above, I finally got to go to the Glossier showroom in New York City! It was such a beautiful experience and a fun place to visit. I only got one item, which was the Cloud Paint in Beam, but I am hoping to be able to try out some more products from them soon.

Special Occasion Jumpsuits

I'm back after a quick little break! Things have been crazy at home and I have been spending most of this summer travelling back and forth to the beach, while simultaneously helping plan a birthday party for my sister. A majority of the logistics have now been taken care of, but I need to find an outfit for the party myself! I want to stick to something in either white, ivory, or a shade of blue, since that will best match the theme. I also love the idea of wearing a jumpsuit that is a bit outside my normal style comfort zone. Here's what I've found so far while browsing!

Row One: first (comes in both cobalt and white) /  second / third / fourth / fifth

Row Two: first / second / third (the style that started my jumpsuit search) / fourth / fifth

Row Three: first / second (looks like a skirt but is shorts!) / third / fourth
