Cup of Jules

Ya this is about a week late, sorry but I've been pretty busy (sadly my senior thesis isn't going to write itself) But I did recently have a great Fall Break back in Ohio. During this break I succeeded in my goal to do all things Fall related. I arrived Friday night, so first on Saturday I went to the farmers market with my friend Jess. Also on Saturday my dad and I went to the Ohio State game (my first time actually attending an OSU game if you can believe it). It was so much fun we walked around beforehand and checked out the tailgating scene. Going to Loyola I miss out on football tailgating so it was great to experience it. We also saw the marching band perform before the game which was also a great experience. The actual game was a lot of fun, even though it was pretty stressful. Even though it was 80 degrees it was still a perfect fall activity. Also that weekend my family and I went to a corn maze and market. The corn maze itself was fun (not very decorated or diffi...

Its finally October and you know what that means...it's time to get spooky y'all! I love holidays and all things festive, so you know I'm gonna go all out this month for Halloween. My bullet journal is the same as it was last month so I'm not really going to talk about that but here is my cover page with my usual doodles that look like they were done by a 6 year old. One addition though that I thought would be fun is that I decided to try to watch one Simpsons Treehouse of Horror episode each day in October (I think there are about 30) and I have that in my habit tracker. So lets see if I can actually accomplish this along with the huge list of other Halloween specials and movies I just HAVE to watch each year. Now onto the decorations! Maybe in a later blog post I will do an official apartment tour but for now I'm solely focusing on my Halloween decor. I have decorated my room as well as the living room area of my apartment. Most of the decorations are from Tar...

I'm going to be honest, ever since I moved here part time, Lincoln Park has become one of my favorite neighborhoods to explore. This weekend it is finally starting to cool down and it was the perfect day to grab lunch do some window shopping and just walk around enjoying the mild weather. After a full week of me being in denial thinking it was Fall (even though it was 70 degrees out) I finally felt a nice crisp fall breeze. Although it was still slightly warm enough to get Jenni's Ice Cream, which is a nice little ode to my dear Columbus Ohio. This outfit is the perfect example of a "Basic Julia Outfit" which will usually consist of jeans, a striped top, scarf, and statement earrings. Seriously I wear some kind of variation of this at LEAST once a week in the fall. By the way I absolutely adore how perfectly my scarf and earrings match! I couldn't find them online but the earrings are Kate Spade and I got them at TJ Maxx and the scarf is from Francesca (I wa...

Happy 1st Day of October! Time to get Spooky. Since starting school again I've been wanting to start a bullet journal, but I just haven't found the inspiration or determination to start it. With the new month here, I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to buckle down and finally start it. Just a reminder I am not an artist and I am still experimenting with what exactly I want to use this journal for and what kind of pages I want in it. So my doodles and prompts are pretty basic and hopefully over time I'll be able to expand on it. October is such a fun time of year because it is finally starting to feel like fall also Halloween makes it so fun and festive. So I enjoyed my tiny Halloween design and doodles. My main focus is a daily log by the week where I'll put what I did that day and what I need to accomplish that day. Hopefully this will make me more organized. Also I included a habit tracker that will track daily habits such as exercise, making my bed...
