So I was lost in the world of Netflix without a solid show for me to bingewatch for quite a long time. I had started Friday Night Lights but THEY TOOK IT OFF NETFLIX WHEN I WAS HALFWAY THROUGH SEASON 1. I'm not bitter or anything. It's fine, whatever Netflix. Anyway, one of my friends was just finishing up a show that...

So this weekend I hosted a fun birthday BBQ at my ranch. Just under 30 people came and it was a super fun night! I wasn't expecting everyone to bring me presents because my actual birthday was over three weeks ago, but I still was given some really nice gifts! Aren't my friends generous? Here are some of my favorite...

When can it be me in that cap and gown? This post is more of just a rant, but you guys, I literally go back to school tomorrow. How is summer already over?! Though I'm excited to see my friends, I'm still dreading having to go to class and do homework. Actually, mainly I just hate the homework. If homework didn't exist...

Okay you guys this is just a little get to know me q&a. I found these questions here, and if you have any other fun ones, let me know in the comments! Are you named after anyone? I am named after people on both sides of my family. I have a great aunt named Patty and a cousin named Patricia. When was the...

ALEXANDRIA, VA Founded 1749 Alexandria was one of the cutest towns I have ever been in. I wish that I got to stay there for more than a few hours, but even in that short amount of time, I fell in love with everything about the town from the history to the cobblestone streets to the shopping to the food. This travel...

GEORGETOWN, D.C. Founded in 1751 View from the Georgetown Waterfront I recently got back from a two week long trip to Washington, D.C. I went there for an entrepreneurship camp at Georgetown University and then a political conference with the Young America's Foundation. I spent the majority of my trip in Georgetown....

Oh my goodness you guys, I am so, SO sorry that I didn't complete this book review back at the end of March! Well, Little Women was a fantastic book! It took me a little while to finish reading because of school, but I would say I finished it around mid April. I don't know about all of you, but I personally love books...

Have you ever just sat there and imagined yourself flying away to a far away place for some relaxation and a little adventure? It happens to me all the time (especially in physics class), and I always dream about the same destination... Spain! I have never been to Europe, so of course I want to go to Paris, London, and...

And the book of the month is..... Little Women! I've actually never read this book, and though it probably would have been better if I had read it when I was younger, I still feel that it is a classic that I just have to read! If you've read it already, join me at the end of the month when I post some discussion...

Do you love reading, but can never find that perfect book? I have the same exact problem, but this year I am trying to expand my library. Well here on Pearl and Poppy I'm going to recommend a book at the beginning of each month, and at the end of the month, I'll post my interpretation of it and some discussion questions...

So today I was sitting at home doing nothing because for some reason I didn't have school. I could have done homework, but am I really going to do that on a Friday? No. I was getting pretty hungry, so I looked in my pantry and saw some Ghirardelli brownie mix! Then while I was looking for vegetable oil, I found a pack...
