Updated Hair Care Routine

Hey guys it has been a long time since I last posted (but I warned you)! I had two test this week and a paper due so I have been busy. Then on top of that I am possibly going to be joining a sorority so I have been busy with recruitment every night as well! I will definitely be keeping you updated on that front but for now lets just get to today's post! 

Last summer I shared my hair care routine with you guys but I have pretty much changed every thing around so I thought I would share with you an updated hair care routine! My hair has never felt so healthy and sleek before so I am in love with the products I am using. I have found that the best bet is to use a few high end products as compared to a bunch of cheap products.

Friday Favs

Guys it's finally Friday so you know what that means... Friday Favs here on Melchicmay! It has been a little while since I have done one of these so I have lots of things to share. I am super excited for family weekend here at school and I hope everyone else has a great weekend. I am setting a goal to try and blog everyday for the next couple of days to make up for what I feel like has been a lack of posts. Lets see if I can keep it up!

1. Last weekend when I was home me and my mom went to get pedicures. This Essie color (She's Pampered) that I got is the perfect fall red color!

Favorite Fall Trends

It's sadly getting a little colder outside and the fall weather is starting to set in! While I am sad to see the summer go their are some parts of fall that I love (aka: fall clothing)! This past weekend when I was home I did a little bit of shopping & found some really great pieces at Old Navy. I am loving some of this years fall trends that I keep seeing in store after store. Now when I mean trends I am talking wearable everyday trends. Not things that are seen on the runways or in New York fashion week. Granted some of these things might be inspired by high fashion, but the trends I am talking about are everyday pieces. I am not a fashion expert by any means and I don't consider myself a trendy person, however trends don't always have to be super trendy. I don't know if that made any since (haha)! Moving on...so today I am rounding up my favorite fall trends for 2015!! I would love to know what your favorite fall trends are for 2015?  

Alex & Ani Bracelets

Two posts in one day! What how can this be? Well I wanted to make up for the lack for posts & thank you guys for your continued support of Melchicmay. College life has made me pretty lazy when it comes to putting on jewelry plus I don't have the space to store lots of statement pieces. So I have been living in my Alex & Ani M bracelet that I have. So I decided to round up my favorite bracelets in today's post because they have lots of super cute styles. I love that each bracelet can tell a story about who you are. I think you can tell I love all things nautical!

Dorm Room Tour

Today I have a really exciting post because I am FINALLY showing you what my dorm room looks like!! This post took me for ever to get together so sorry for the delay. I really am happy with the way I set everything up. I didn't really rearrange anything a bunch of times so I am pretty proud of myself. I LOVE the theme of my room and so I thought I would share with you how everything is set up and what it looks like. I would love any suggestions you have to make my room every better!!

Study & Homework Tips

I recently have been feeling like posting more lifestyle content instead of just outfits. Today's post is not what I had planned though I was sitting in the library knee deep in homework and this idea just came to me! I realized that I have spent A LOT of time doing homework and studying throughout the years. I have gotten pretty good at figuring out what works best for me so I thought I would share my homework tips with you! Not all of these tips will work for every single person because we all learn different but I hope some of these tips help! Let me know in the comments if you have any more tips or suggestions.

Current Favorites

Happy Labor day weekend!! Enjoy the last few weeks of summer, hit up the sales and wear your last bits of white clothing! I sadly have school on Monday though :( Today I planned on sleeping in until a fire alarm went off in our building so I thought it would be the perfect time to share with you my weekly current favorites! This week is a VERY random mix of things! 

This Monogrammed Columbia pullover from Marley Lilly is so cute! I saw this on Instagram and knew I had to add this to my list of fall "wants". It would make the perfect fall jacket for the cooler months!

Fall Essentials

It's hard to believe that it's already September which soon means falling leaves, back to school, cooler weather and pumpkin everything! While I love the summer dearly I do love the transition into the fall with all of the changes that the season brings. Though let me tell you it's hard to image any of this stuff right now as I sit in my dorm room roasting. Just looking at pictures of scarfs makes me sweat (haha)! Anyways today I have teamed up with Parachute Bedding to show you guys my must have fall essentials! Parachute has some amazing bedding and home decor products to get you ready for the fall! 

My favorite thing about the fall is the idea that you can wear a warm sweater and be comfortable with out freezing. I love being able to take fall walks & see all the leafs changing. Though probably my top reason to love the fall is the food! I love any thing pumpkin especially Starbucks Pumpkin Cream Cheese muffins & Pumpkin Spice Frappuccino. Oh and surprisingly Pumpkin Spice Oreos are really good. If you are as crazy about pumpkin flavored food as I am check out this article that taste tests a bunch of pumpkin foods!

 I would love to hear what your fall essentials are & what your favorite part about fall is?!
