Staying In Style At Camp


Hey Guys! So I know that I have been mentioning my camp job a lot and I just decided to make a whole post about it here and like the fashion aspect of camp. Let me just start out by saying that I know all camps are different and some make you wear a uniform and some do not. Obviously, if you do not have to wear a camp shirt every day...there is more room to be stylish. Personally, my camp has us in a blue shirt every single day except on fridays when we wear white. The color of my shirt is kinda weird to accesorize with so I generally just stick to a head band or a green or white bow. I think that adding a hair accesory is a great way to express your style at camp. When you work  at camp...you want to have things that are replaceable. You  can always get a new hair ribbon or new hair band for a very low price. Therefore, no biggie if it gets lost. It also is a convient way to be cute and get your hair out of your face (and when you are out in the hot sun all day...you want you hair out of your face).
As far as makeup is concerned...I usually stick to anything watter proof. At camp, you get wet and dirty so it is pointless to waste your nice makeup on camp. I like to wear a bit of concealer to get rid of my under eye circles as well as a bit of watter proof eyeliner on my watter line, watter proof mascara and eye brow pencil. Another good touch as a watter proof cream eyeshadow. If you are going to use this, I reccomend Maybelline's color tattoo's. They really do stay on through eveything and just give a pop of color so you feel like you are putting some effort into your appearance (after all...you never know when a hot guy is going to be hired right?).
Hair styling is always a challenge at camp. The breeze is blowing...the watter is spraying, the humidity is high and everyone is getting their sweat on. I like to wear my hair in french braids especially if it is second day hair. This keeps it back but still looks cute. In additon, I like to just put mouse in it and let it go down or in a pony. Then I always know where it is and what its looking like. I think that it is pointless to try to curl or straighten it for camp...it will just get ruined. Besides, no one does that and you will just look like a supper princess if you do.
Like I said before, I do not get a  choice in shirts for camp but I do get to pick my shorts. I know that most people do not like to wear jean shorts to camp but I do. I feel like they are just more conveinent because they have pockets. I am the dance specilist so I always need my phone on me to run music so pockets are a must. In addition, it gives me a place to put all of the unfinished lanyard deposited into my hand to be given back on the bus on the way home.
As far as shoes are concerned, I just like to have a decent pair of sneakers. I do not wear my hard core running shoes because I do not want to get them filthy. Howeve, I do wear a good pair of sneakers that will serve any purpose during the day.

I hope that this post helped you get some ideas about camp fashion. I just want to quickly say that this is just what I do and eveyone is different but this is what I find that works to keep my instyle at camp. Let me know what keeps you instyle at camp or if you try anything out that I talked about...comment below and tell me how it worked out.

Best Fit: How to Start Your Fitness Journey

"Best Fit" Let's start our fitness journey! Incorporating fitness into your daily life is difficult. Life is full of wonderful things to do and it can be hard to prioritize being healthy. Today we are going to jump right in and start incorporating fitness into our daily lives.  *Disclaimer: I am neither a fitness expert nor a doctor.

Pick a time of day for your workout: Picking a time of day is a great first step in starting a healthier lifestyle. Putting it on your calendar (maybe even setting up a reminder notice) will help you hold yourself accountable.

Project Runway 10-15-15 Recap Review

Previously on Project Runway: The designers gave members of the Project Runway crew a makeover. Hey guys! Welcome to this week's Project Runway Recap Review! We are getting closer and closer to fashion week each episode and the competition is getting tight. At this point, any of the designers could go home. Last week was packed with drama...but...its a new week, and a fresh slate, so lets get started. Challenge: The five remaining designers will make an outfit inspired by the New York City bridges (Queensborough, Brooklyn, Manhattan). The designers were assigned a bridge from the black bag of doom. Each designer created a textile with a 3-D printer that they had to incorporate into their garment. This is an Avant Garde challenge. Thoughts In The Workroom:  I'm not so sure what I think about 3-D printers...comment down below and let me know what you think about them (in general, not just in fashion). Candice made a good choice not using black again this week. Designers who
