Bose SoundLink Headphone Review
Wednesday, May 10 • Bose, college, fashion, headphones, review
1. These headphones have great sound quality!
2. The bluetooth is so easy to connect. When you first turn your headphones on, it will have you connect to your phone/ipad/computer. Then, whenever you turn on your headphones they will say "connecting to iphone" and connect quickly. Its really nice not having to go into my bluetooth menu each time I turn my headphones on.
3. These headphones are packable! They fold up into a small carrying case and are very light weight. They're the perfect headphone for traveling or going to study.
4. One thing that I absolutely love is the fact that it comes with an aux cable. A lot of the headphones I looked at, before purchasing these, didn't have an aux cable. The aux cable is good for when you are on the airplane and want to listen to a movie but they don't have bluetooth connectivity. It is also nice if you're trying to save the battery on your phone and want to turn off your bluetooth.
5. Another feature I find neat is my phone shows the battery life of my headphones. I'm not sure if all bluetooth headphones do this, but I really like it!
6. These headphones are perfect for me because they sit on your ear instead of covering your entire ear. I personally don't like noise-canceling headphones (they throw off my equilibrium) or headphones that cover my entire ear. So, when I found that these sit on top of my ears, without squishing my earrings into my neck, they were a must buy!
1. One thing that I don't like is the color. The blue is pretty but the tan is really light colored and I'm worried it is going to get dirty over time. Due to the color, I don't think these headphones would be a good fit for someone who wants to wear them to workout.
2. While the carrying case that comes with them is really nice, I feel that it is a bit too small. Whenever I put my headphones in the case it squishes them together. The case is also kind of hard to close with the headphones in it.
Overall, I love my headphones! They were everything I was looking for. The price tag is a little high, but totally worth it. Bose did a great job when creating these!
Blueberry Bliss
Monday, April 10 • college, cooking, quick guide, recipe
Today I wanted to share with you my favorite smoothie recipe! I used to make these every day in college because they were so easy and filling. Its also great because you can take it on the go when you sleep through your alarm and are running late for class or work (I know from personal experience - haha). Since graduating, I have started to make a whole meal for breakfast but I still love my go-to smoothie when I don't have time in the morning.
Blueberry Bliss Smoothie
1 cup of thawed frozen blueberries
1/4 cup of greek yogurt
1 teaspoon of honey
1/2 cup of old fashioned oats
1/2 of milk
Put the ingredients into your blender (I use a Nutribullet) in the order listed above. Blend it for about a min or two (I usually blend it while I put my yogurt and milk back in the fridge). Pour the smoothie into a glass and enjoy!
This smoothie can also be prepared the night before so all you have to do in the morning is blend it up and go. I encourage you to add strawberries, bananas or protein powder to make it how you like!
Happy blending!
Coffee Date
Wednesday, April 5 • about me, coffee date, milso, round up
Hey friends! Please forgive my long absence and join me, at your leisure, on my “coffee date” blog post. I hope you can take a break, sit down with a cup of coffee or your favorite beverage and catch up with me...
First of all, a month ago, my husband, Daniel, earned and received his Wings of Gold. After almost two years of training, Daniel is officially a Naval Aviator. For those of you who aren’t familiar with the aviation community, earning one’s “Wings” is a milestone accomplishment (I have a timeline posted in my earlier blog post). During this same timeframe, our wonderful parents came down to visit us and celebrate the occasion. It was so much fun because we got to venture around Pensacola and play “tourist” with them for a week! It was a great time showing them around our “home town” before we moved. Also, they were very helpful with everything around the house, which made the stress of moving much easier! That same weekend was also Mardi Gras so we all celebrated that as well. If you want to experience Mardi Gras, without the New Orleans craziness, I’d recommend Pensacola. There were three different parades with massive floats, lots of awesome live music, and a multitude of bright and colorful beads. Additionally, in Pensacola, these celebrations were all family friendly.
Next up, we received orders to move to San Diego, California. Daniel’s orders gave us two weeks to move. We were fortunate in that the movers were able to help us pack everything and then transport almost all of our belongings across the country. At the same time, Daniel and I drove our cars, Jack (our dog) and Nala (our cat) from Florida to California. Along the way, we saw some fun towns and landmarks which made the drive more fun and interesting. As for Jack and Nala, they were out of their crates and comfortably slept in the back seat of Daniel’s truck most of the way. Jack was a little restless at times but for a six-month old puppy, he was great. We were very proud of our furry babies!
When we arrived in San Diego, we had a hotel room but no house. Finding housing here is very difficult because the average home is only on the rental market for about five days. Nevertheless, upon arriving in San Diego, we scheduled five home viewing appointments. After just viewing the first home on our list, we learned that we qualified (early) for coveted base housing! We also had the pleasure of having my brother, Ryan, and his girlfriend, Hannah, come to visit us during our first week. In between house hunting, we got to explore San Diego with them and go to Disneyland, which made our first week in the area that much better!
Fast forward to now. Our movers delivered our furniture and boxes, the furniture has been set up, the boxes unpacked and now we just have to organize things. So far, we are loving our new home and are very grateful! Daniel is beginning his next phase of the Navy flight program and I’m enjoying being a stay-at-home wife while looking for jobs. I would like to get back into blogging since there are so many things I’d love to share. I’d love to know what y’all would like to see on the blog in the future so if you have any input, please email me or comment below.
Thanks for joining me on this crazy “coffee date!” I hope you have a good week ahead and I'll do my best to write more soon.
