The past two years I texted you about 20 times the morning of your birthday with Bitmojis and screen effects but I have to say it was way more fun to be able to wake up next to you today and blast the first 20 seconds of In Da Club in person 🎉🎈🎊 thank you for being my roommate, my favorite travel companion, and a voice of reason in my life. I love you and I’m so happy to have a chance to celebrate you today 😇 happy birthday Andrew!
It’s that time again! Comment a goal for this week down below and I’ll check in on Friday afternoon to see how you did. ✅ - I know it can be hard to make time for goals with all of the other STUFF going on in your life. 🙆🏼‍♀️ You have to get that report to your boss. You have to pick up your prescription. But just because you’re checking something off of your list today doesn’t mean that it will help you in three years, or five. - Make time for the things that will help you get to where you want to be then. It may mean getting up an hour earlier. It may mean saying no to happy hour this week. But it will be worth it in the long run. 😇 let’s get to where we want to be together! 📸 @mirandaraschid
Sunday’s are for SPF 🧡☀️ #ad Since the weather has been so lovely here I’ve been spending a lot of time outside but that definitely means that I’m stocking up on some summer beauty products to protect my skin. Right now you can score an adorable 9-piece gift pouch with purchases at CVS locations when you’re restocking your favorite beauty products (because if you’re like me you go into CVS with lip balm and you somehow leave with 10 other beauty products 😂). Spend $30 on applicable beauty items to receive this gift, perfect for all of your summer activities! @CVS_Beauty #beautyunaltered 📸 @mirandaraschid

On that Friday flow 🦋 let’s continue the magazine talk from yesterday! What was your favorite glossy when you were growing up? Mine were definitely Nylon, Teen Vogue, and CosmoGirl 🖤🎀 📸 @sarahratnerphoto
More issues than...✨💄 this joke isn’t as fun to make in 2019 where print magazines are few and far between and I have a minimum of 15 issues a week which is still 5 more issues than Nylon had each year when I worked there (the June/July and December/January issues were combined). - But when an opportunity presented itself to visit the @voguemagazine offices for a chance to hear some of its top editors speak, my heart started beating quickly, and I got the same feeling I had when I was 18 applying for my very first magazine internship. The fact is this industry will always excite me and even though sometimes it feels like I’ve been doing this for several decades and have been through it all...in many ways, I’m still just starting out. - That’s why I love opportunities to listen to seasoned editors speak, to meet new people who are interested in telling stories, and to continue to educate myself about fashion and what’s happening around it. 18 year old me would have *~freaked~* if she saw this photo knowing that one day I’d get to step foot in these glossy offices. 🤩
Slime! Time! Live! 🐛🌱🥒🎾🔫 - Wow posting a photo I actually took today! What a strange concept. Let’s put the Insta back in Instagram. What are you doing right now?👇🏻 📸 @mirandaraschid
When you’re having a week and you celebrate #WineWednesday a day early 😂🍷 #ad I always thought I had my path all figured out—get a job at a magazine, work my way up the masthead, and maybe go off on my own eventually. But things don’t always go the way that we plan, and if I can find success outside of a 9-5 job, anything is possible—even finding love on TV. Tonight is the premiere of @LoveIslandUSA and I am ready to curl up on the couch with a glass of merlot and watch these Islanders meet each other for the first time at the villa. 🏖 Not only will the cast have to win over each other, but they’ll also have to win over the audience watching, since viewers have the opportunity to shape the events of the show. Catch the premiere of Love Island tonight at 8/7c on CBS. 💕 Who’s ready to watch some sparks fly? #LoveIslandUSA #InfluenceHerCollective
