1. Been feeling like death the past week and a half\u2014I’m talking the kind of sick where you get head-to-toe chills, aching muscles, lightheadedness, closed throat\u2014and the only thing that has given me some sort of (temporary) relief is Starbucks’s “Medicine Ball,” a drink off their secret menu.<\/p>\n

In case you haven’t heard of it, here’s the recipe for it. If you’re feeling the slightest bit hoarse or stuffy, order\u00a0stat<\/em>:<\/p>\n

Medicine Ball<\/strong>:<\/h3>\n

In a venti cup…<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2022 1 bag of Teavana Jade Citrus Mint<\/em> tea<\/p>\n

\u2022 1 bag of Teavana Peach Tranquility<\/em> tea<\/p>\n

\u2022 Add 1\/2 hot water<\/p>\n

\u2022 Add 1\/2 steamed lemonade<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0Optional (but highly recommended): Honey, 1 pump of peppermint<\/p>\n

2. Picked up Urban Decay’s Naked Illuminated Shimmering Powder in Luminous<\/em><\/a>. It’s expensive for what it is, but (1) it was a sick day, pick-me-up purchase, and (2) it’s\u00a0essential<\/em> as a performer, and therefore justifiable. Consider this closet magpie very,\u00a0very<\/em> happy.<\/p>\n

3. Remember that time when I announced I was closing on a condo but never did? Well: Three months and a $25,000 plumbing job later (paid for by the HOA, of course), I’m\u00a0finally<\/em>,\u00a0officially<\/em> a homeowner.<\/p>\n

I’ll be honest: I’m not as excited as I should be. My attorney was floored that I was able to buy my condo entirely on my own at 24 (and lawyers aren’t so easily impressed, he said), and my parents keep reminding me that this is a huge milestone as an independent woman, but I’m just trying to get through one of the busiest, most crazed months before I can sit down and properly digest what’s going on. I think when I start painting and prepping my new place, it’ll start to feel real. And mine.<\/p>\n

4. So,\u00a0I’m slowly boxing up my life. The process itself is a little too messy for my liking (I get minor anxiety walking into my bedroom and seeing all this\u00a0stuff<\/em> in its mid-packing stage), but every time I seal and label a box, it feels good. Satisfying, actually. I’m part purging and part re-organizing everything into specific categories\u2014bodysuits, crop tops, leggings, jumpsuits, evening dresses, day dresses, casual dresses,\u00a0etc.<\/em>\u2014and having it all fit neatly in a brown box is giving me peace of mind.<\/p>\n

Here’s what I’m realizing about myself: I know\u00a0exactly<\/em> what I like and am consistent about it. I may not have that Pinterest-perfect “capsule wardrobe” (which isn’t my philosophy, anyway), but everything in my wardrobe serves a purpose and follows a similar aesthetic. Cut and color are everything. Quality\u00a0too\u2014I’m much happier investing in pieces by women-owned brands.<\/p>\n

5.\u00a0Thirteen-hour days that take me straight from the office to the dance studio means that comfort is king as of late. It’s either some iteration of a knit, high-waist jeans, and nude pumps combo (see photo above for reference) or full-on hair, makeup, the works for a performance. No in-between. The rest of my wardrobe is feeling neglected and I need to rectify that, stat.<\/p>\n
