So with the approach of summer I thought this would be a good time to set some goals for this summer. Setting goals is really important for me and is something I take really seriously. I read an article once about writing down your goals and keeping accountability. Since Summer is a time that in general isn't too busy it's a really good time to set goals and complete them. 1. Complete some of my "30 before 30" goalsMore specifically, the go to Boston and Canada ones! I'll be in upstate NY this summer so I'll be pretty close to each. I really want to go to Boston for the TFiOS premier because one of my friends is from Rhode Island and I want to meet up with her to see it. I really wanted to do Canada last year because I wasn't 21 yet so I would be able to drink there. Oh well. It'll still be fun and then I can use my passport again! 2. Lose 20 lbsWhen it comes to weight loss I'm normally not a big fan of keeping track of numbers. I think that what is more important is feeling good and liking the way you look and what your body can do when you are in good shape and live a happy life style. That being said, giving myself a concrete number to work towards will keep me motivated. 3. Watch less NetflixLast summer I spent most of my time watching Netflix which now looking back was such a waste. This summer I want to concentrate on doing more fun things and taking advantage of whats going on in town. 4. Drink less soda / no sodaI am like fully addicted to diet coke. I always here mixed things about diet sodas. Some people say that as long as it's diet its ok because it's all about calories. And some people say that diet sodas are worse because of all the artificial sugars and stuff. I don't know which side to believe (because I heard diet soda was ok from a doctor and have only heard it's bad from news and magazine articles) but I figure there is nothing wrong with not drinking soda and drinking more water instead. What are some of your summer goals? xoxo Natalie

I just wanted to say thank you so much because today I hit over 200 page views for the first time! This means the world to me because I am really passionate about this blog and I am glad that people are actually interested in reading what I have to say! To say thank you I will be posting my first print. Here it is! Hope you all like it.
All you have to do is download the PDF above and print it to an 8.5"x11" paper! Thank you so much! xoxo NatalieWith finals coming up I thought I would give you guys some new Pandora stations to listen to and maybe they'll help make your studying less painful. Most of my Pandora stations are really relaxed and I can pretty much listen to any of them while I'm studying. So here they are! 1. Frank SinatraI've already ranted about the Frank Sinatra Pandora station here but it's the best and definitely my all time favorite. He is just such a classic and the songs are all just really relaxing to listen to. I love when songs in Italian come up, just makes me want to sit out in the sun with a glass of wine and a croissant. 2. Jack JohnsonThis was the first Pandora station I ever made and it's still one of my favorites! Jack Johnson is so chill that it's just really good background music. One of my favorite things about this playlist is that it actually plays a lot of Jack Johnson's music. I feel like I'm constantly making stations hoping that they'll play certain songs and they never come up but with this station that never happens. 3. DisneyI feel like I don't need to say this but I am a little bit obsessed with Disney so naturally I always listen to this station. This is hands down the best one for listening to in the shower because you can belt out all of the classics from your childhood. 4. Imagine DragonsI like to switch between this one and the Cloud Cult station a lot because they play really similar music. Good relaxed music to listen to. If you haven't heard of Cloud Cult please go listen to their music because they are brilliant. Heads up though, it's a little weird and indie I guess but if you like that kind of stuff then you'll love them. 5. Christmas JazzOk so I know it is no where close to Christmas Time butttttttttt hear me out. I am obsessed with this station starting like the day after Halloween. It's all the classic Christmas songs but as jazz music and it is probably one of the classiest things I've ever done. It just makes me want to sit by a fire and smell a Christmas tree. What's your favorite Pandora Station?
