This year I have lots of plans and goals so I thought, why not make a blogpost about it?!
For those who don't know, I run track for my school and I'm hoping to start incorporating fitness into some blogposts, as well as nutrition and dieting. Speaking of which, my New Years resolution is to cut out dairy, it seems extremely difficult, and I promise you it's not easy, but I started 3 days ago and I've already lost a pound! This diet isn't about losing waiting or trimming your waist, but more so focused on feeling better. Although a better body doesn't sound like a bad idea to me. I will not be cutting out dairy for a year, I'll have my occasional cheat days but I'm going to try to stick to it!
Along with the trend of nutrition, I'm hoping to start doing a morning workout routine every day!
If you're interested, here's what I do every morning!
80 jumping jacks
20 push ups
40 sit ups
50 squats
1 minute walk sit
20 lunges (per leg)
1 minute planking
That's it!
I also run about 2-3 miles every day after school, but that's only for people really willing to go the extra mile (wink wink)!
A goal for me this year is to get 30k on Instagram, and also be more active blogging and youtubeing. I'm hoping to blog once to twice a week, as well as expand the audience of my blog and YouTube by incorporating makeup and healthy living into blogging as well! If you have any requests or questions on any of this please let me know!
I just thought I would keep all of you in touch with my life and resolutions/ goals! I love you all and Happy New Year!

Sunny and 75 Christmas
Hi everyone! Long time no blogpost but I wanted to quickly share my Christmas Day outfit with you all on this sunny and 75 Christmas! I sported a J. Crew Navy skirt, along with a gold detailed top from Ralph Lauren.
I also managed to add a few new bracelets to my stack this Christmas and am wearing a J. Crew inspired gold chain bracelet from franchescas, a watch from Catalog Connection in NC, and a Pineapple Bangle!
I paired this with Frye boots and made my way out for Christmas!
I added to my details by also wearing monogrammed earrings from B. whimsy! I hope you all enjoyed my Christmas Outfit of the day!
Xoxo,

10 tips for blogging/ instagramming
I frequently get asked about why I started my account, how I started it, and tips for some of my followers that want to start something similar to mine. You may not want to start a preppy fashion account, maybe you're into food, or more urbanized fashion, maybe its crafting or starting a business, no matter what kind of account you want to start, these tips will most likely help you!
1. Have a creative username, something catch and creative, and try to not have any underscores or dots in your username if possible!
2. (difficult) attempt to post only original photos, this will make your account unique, your followers will be drawn to you because your photos can't be found anywhere else!
3. Photo quality and lighting are both crucial, try to avoid shadows, have nice back drops, and outdoor pictures usually are better! The better photo quality, the better your account will be!
4. If you don't have the best camera, or are just using your phones, I highly recommend getting an editing app, personally I use an app called photo editor
5. When you're first starting out, posting frequently is extremely important, however maintaining balance is extremely important, post every 3-4 hours (or 3 times a day) for the first couple weeks of your account, and then gradually get into 2 photos a day, and eventually one but more on weekends.
6. I definitely recommend using preppy hashtags to gain followers, also, go through preppy hashtags and like and comment on pictures to hopefully get noticed by other preppy accounts and their followers!
7. Giveaways, giveaways are great, however don't be that account that does fake giveaways! For giveaways, I recommend partnering either with a company or a loop for the biggest potential turnout!
8. Sponsorships, always reach out to companies! The worst that can happen is that the can say no, typically I say something along the lines of "Hello my name is ______ and I run the instagram account @-----, I have over ___ followers and I would love to work with you and promote you on my account.." (something like this).
9. I recommend having a separate email for business inquiries where businesses can reach out to you, put this in your bio and or include it when you reach out, you can end your message by saying, "if interested, email me at_________".
10. Have Confidence in yourself and your abilities! Be anonymous, or don't, I was anonymous until 8k and here I am now. Not everyone is going to like what you do, but if you do, that's all that really matters!
I hope these answer lots of frequently asked questions and if you have any more comment or DM me!

Christmas gifts for Less
Truth be told, I am always looking for good deals, great sales and cool gifts to give for Christmas, so I'm going to share a few items and discount codes, and some awesome places to get gifts!
1. Jadelynnbrooke Apparel- visit www.jadelynnbrooke.com and use my code 'AHSDH' for a discount! They have cute clothes and accessories, and they are one of my favorite brands ever! Make sure to check out their holiday line as well!
2. @jacobwallacedesign on instagram, use code 'Imapreppygirl' for 15% off your lilly stockings and anything else in the shop!
3. @bwhimsy on instagram, no discount code, however I highly recommend their monogram stickers and if you've seen my YouTube or other blog posts, I've gotten everything from rain jackets to purses from there! One cute idea is buying monograms, I recommend 2x2" and placing them on a mason jar (can get at the dollar tree), its a perfect small gift, you can fill it with candy or other treats, and when the candy is gone, its perfect to hold make up brushes!
4. @athreadofclass on instagram, another great monogrammed clothing store, use code 'imapreppygirl15' for a discount!
5. TJMAXX, stores all over the country, great for gifts but particularly stocking stuffers! One thing I always look for when I'm in TJMAXX is Essie nail polish, it is usually 8-9 dollars at places like target or Kroger, but at TJMAXX (or Marshall's) its only about 3-4 dollars, not to mention other great small gifts (and some great finds) can be found at these stores!
6. If you are a coffee drinker like me, you know the feeling of a hot mug that is hard to hold, I have an abundance of coozies for the summer, however now that its winter, a mug cozy is the way to go! Combining my love for coffee and Lilly Pulitzer, a Lilly Mug Cozy is the perfect gift! Visit @thepreppyponyshop on instagram to create your own, or look out for my 'imapreppygirl' custom cozy that I designed!
(technical difficulties will not allow me to show what this looks like but I will post a picture of it soon)
7. @sgprep on instagram, another great apparel company, use code 'IMAPG15OFF' for 15% off your purchase!
8. Stocking stuffers again! Stickers from preppy companies like Vineyard Vines, Marley Lilly, JadelynnBrooke, and Southern Girl Prep, check out my blogpost on how to get these stickers for FREE!
9. @mypinkandgreengarden on instagram, this account is perfect for Lilly Pulitzer Room décor! I cannot stress my love for this account, especially since I am going to college next year and need room décor! It is perfect for any preppy girl going to college or just trying to brighten up their room!

Sticker Organizer
If you're preppy like me, there's a good chance you collect stickers from your favorite companies! I know I have a bunch but there are so many and I hate clutter!
This is what my stickers looked like before:
This is after!
All you need is this index card holder from target! I made little name brand tags (stickers come with index card holder), and organized them with this!
Then just because Imapreppygirl *wink*, I added a monogram with some paint!
Hope you enjoy this tip! If you don't have stickers, check out a couple posts back on how to get some!

Pineapple Canvas DIY
Supplies needed:
To start, this is what you'll need, plus whatever you plan on using to hold your paint, I used a paper plate. All of this can be bought at Michaels craft stores, but can also be found at target or other craft stores.
Take the wrapping paper and wrap your canvas up like you would a present, then continue to crease the sides for cleaner edges.
My next step after that was done was to paint the design I wanted (I chose pineapples), and I continued to paint them on my canvas/ wrapping paper in white.
I then waited for them to dry, and went back and repainted them in pink!
