We Have a New Home!

     Hello Lovelies!
     Change is good, right? And it is a new year, right? 
     So A Day in the Life is changing homes...and names!
     You can now find us at this link - http://goldenadolescence.blogspot.com 
     But don't worry, we'll still be writing about the same things. And more!
     We will be adding two new topics: DIY and In the Kitchen.
     We hope you enjoy Golden Adolescence just as much as you enjoyed A Day in the Life!

     Thank you for all your support!
     
     Sincerely, 
     Hailey, Morgan, and Kayla

Comment and tell me if you've been to any of these places or where in the world you want to go!
All my love,

Photo Diary: New York City

Hello, Lovelies!
The first four days of this past week I spent in New York City with my family. I also happened to be able to spend part of my 17th birthday in New York and that was really fun. We did lots of shopping, eating, sight-seeing, walking(ugh) and much more! So here is a little photo diary of the places we went/things we did. Enjoy!

Let's Go On An Adventure!

Hello, Lovelies!

The sun is high, it's acceptable to walk barefoot all day, iced tea is more delicious than ever, and everyone is happy. It's summer! That means it's time to lay in the sun, spend time with friends, and of course, travel! 

I myself am going on a big trip, and I am so excited! But the one thing that has been stressing me out is the thoughtful process of packing. I know this doesn't sound like a reason to stress, right? There are so many other things to worry about: catching your flight, keeping track of luggage, making sure you have enough money, etc. But, nonetheless, I am a girl, and clothes are a very important thing. 

I decided I must not be the only person worried about packing. There has to be at least one other person stressed about making sure they have enough pairs of shoes and underwear. So, if that happens to be you, I am here to help! I have formulated a minimalist list of things to pack for a week long trip in the summer. Hopefully this list will help you (and me!) remember what is necessary to pack and what could be left in your closet. (Even if   it's hard to leave it behind...because let's face it...we need options!)

. 7 pairs of underwear

. 2-3 bras (don't forget a sports bra if you plan on exercising)

. 3-4 pairs of socks

. 2 pairs of exercise/hangout shorts

. 3-4 exercise/hangout tshirts

. 4-5 shirts

. 3-4 pairs of shorts

. 1 pair of jeans

. 1-2 skirt/s

. 2-3 dresses (make sure you pack a couple...one for dinner, one that's light for shopping, etc)

. 2 swim suits

. 1 cardigan 

. 1 rain jacket

. 1 pair of tennis/running shoes

. 3-4 pairs of shoes (flats, flip-flops/sandals, heels, etc)

. accessories (necklaces, earrings, sunglasses, etc)

. 1-2 purse/s (I would pack one medium sized one and one that is small, cross-body for sightseeing/shopping)

. toiletries (toothbrush, toothpaste, hairbrush, deodorant, makeup, tweezers, nail clippers)

. extras (hair dryer, flat iron/curling iron, sunscreen, any medication you might take)

If you are planning on going on a trip for longer than a week, I would suggest doubling everything listed. For example, 8-10 shirts, 14 pairs of underwear, etc.

I hope this helps all of you prepare for your next big adventure!   

xoxo,

Kayla
