Tia Things

Hey gems! I have been digging into my hair care this summer for so many reasons! Not only is my hair longer than ever before, but it has been dyed more than before as well as so the effects of the sun are really visible this year! I found some products and routines that I have been LOVING so I thought I would share my current hair routine with you all! Washing: I generally only wash my hair once a week. Now this may seem gross to many of you, but washing too much is actually really unhealthy for the natural oils in your hair. My rule of thumb is generally if I sweat a lot or workout I will wash it additional times, if not, then only on Saturdays.  Water Washes About every Wednesday I wash my hair with water. I know, this sounds super weird, but w hen your hair is starting to appear oily but you don't want to shampoo it, a great way to extend its duration is to wash it under the water of the shower, same as you would normally by scrubbing but without any shampoo.  Conditioning ...

Hey there my gems, With everything that has been going on in the world, I didn't know what to write about lately let alone how because of how constantly evolving the situation is all over the world. I hope you are all staying safe, healthy and taking care of each other. When I got a request last week to write a new love tips blog, I thought to myself that there was no way I can do that, during the current situation of the world. Then I realized that love might be exactly what we need. Not to mention there is so much going on right now, tensions, emotions and stress is high, it easily takes a toll on our relationships. 1. Spread love Ever heard of "what goes around comes around", Karma , "you shall get what you give", etc. I don't know about you guys but I believe whole heartedly that the worlds gives what it gets. So lets start by spreading love, showing love and earning love. The more love we show to our families, friends, lovers, communities, etc...

Hey there my gems, It feels like a lifetime since I've last posted. I mentioned finding a new routine and I definitely underestimated how much time and adapting that would take between graduation and starting a full time job. I missed blogging but I honestly have been to sleepy to get out my laptop and type! So here I am, back in the groove and trying to focus on what I love! Since my blog is called Tia Things, I thought it might be fun to add a Tia Things segment where everything and anything can be talked about! Girl chat, life issues, Q & As, etc. Today I'm keeping it simple and talking about my new obsessions, routines- or attempts at routines- and some discoveries I made! SO over the last few weeks a few things have become crystal clear! 1. I need to stop drinking Starbucks because my bank account cannot handle it and it is WAY too embarrassing when the barista knows your name and order by heart! 2. Sleep is everything. I need to rest, at the very least, but...

I'm back my gems! I definitely have been less present both on this blog and on my social medias. I wanted to give you all a quick update on where I've been and what's been going on. Also can we take a second to appreciate the fact that summer is that much closer! So for starters, I've had so much going on that I had to take a little break from the blog and prioritize life. School has been hectic but in four weeks and two exams I'll officially be a GRADUATE!!!!! It's crazy to think that university is so close to over, I think a part of me will honestly miss it. Not to mention, growing up is absolutely terrifying but it's time and I AM READY!!! First, as you all know on top of school I also have an internship in television which I adore! I'm almost done and it's so bitter sweet but I've been working really hard at it and it's led to something new.... Your girl has a job! I now have a full time job as of my last day of school!!! I'm sup...

Hey there my gems, It's MARCH and that means that the snow is melting and the sun is shining a little brighter! This time is so exciting because we know spring is just around the corner and it's definitely helping to get through these last bits of cold winter. There are still big puffy coats and some boots to wear but there are ways to start switching from winter looks to spring! Sunglasses The sun is out and it's time to shine! Sun glasses are an obsession for me, I own so many pairs! No only can you get different styles & colors, but you can also wear them in your hair as an accessory. Sunglasses are a little shine and sparkle added to your outfit without taking over and they can easily be removed. I'm obsessed and so should you because they bring out the sun and I cannot wait to wear them all day!!! Ankle or Ripped jeans Okay, ankle jeans might need to take a slight backseat until the weather warms a little more, but ripped jeans can definitely start comin...

Hey there my gems, lately working through all of the things I want to accomplish, my goals, and generally the life I want to build. I've realized that I setting myself up for stress and disappointment. Not because my goals are set high or because my dreams are grand, but really because I'm biting off way more than I can chew. I want a job, I want great grades, I want to get my summer body ready, I want to decorate, I want alone time but I also need to allow for socializing or I'll go nuts. I'm realizing that the truth is, I probably won't get my dream job right away and that's okay because I'll work toward it and build up to it. I also am trying to come to grips with the struggle between travel and savings. I think that there is definitely a way to achieve small trips, or big ones if they are planned well, and save at the same time. My issue with saving money is currently that I am working as much as I can this semester, but it is only half the hour...
