Happy long weekend everyone!

First things first: let’s talk about Hurricane Harvey. Our hearts break for its victims and the massive devastation they are facing. Here’s a comprehensive list of everything you can do to help those in Houston from afar.

Things have been quiet here on the blog this week as Cait’s traveling solo through Thailand. Have you kept up with her Instagram? She’s been living her best life hanging with elephants, monkeying around on the beach and (of course) finding iced coffee. Meanwhile, I just finished my first week of classes (of my last semester of college!) and I am so excited to say that every single one of my classes just lights up my soul. I can’t wait to write my heart out, work hard and get a few steps closer to figuring out what I’m going to do with my degree. With that, here’s everything I loved this week:

• Can’t wait to see the ladies at A Beautiful Mess launch their clean beauty subscription box
• Glitter Guide is hiring contributing writers
• A guide on how to layer nighttime skincare products
• Design*Sponge’s state of the blogging union is a must-read for bloggers
• Adding Meg’s embroidered mini skirt to my fall wardrobe wish list
• This kitchen makes bold wallpaper cooler than you’ve ever seen it
• Amanda’s post on 10 things she’s learned in 10 years with her boyfriend was exactly what I needed to hear this week
• An explanation for why navigating life in your 20s can be tough
• Treat yo’self to a DIY face mask using products you probably already have
• I’ve probably already raved about this Origins mask, but I promise you it is a must-have
• In love with this super feminine romper
• How to make healthier habits for a happier life
• This is how you make money from social media
• D.C. friends, this new coffee + taco + bike shop is making me feel all the NYC vibes

And in case you missed it: Cait’s out of office
