RNTBoutiques collab and gift ideas!!

Hello lovelies!! How are you doing today?

I’m very very excited for this collab and I’m sure you’ll be able to understand! I recently worked with one of the sweetest shop owners I’ve ever met, and that happens to be Lina Tran, who runs her etsy shop, RNTBoutiques! Lina was so fun to work with and really put a lot of effort into my package 🥰 She was so so thoughtful and opening the box from her felt like getting a present from a friend! She so kindly read my blog and found out I loved cow print and the color blue and then she decided to make that the theme of my box and let me tell you, I ADORE it all!

RNTBoutiques would be the perfect shop to shop at right now coming up to the holiday season as Lina has so many different products available! She has hair clips which are super popular right now, along with some of the cutest fun socks I’ve seen 🤩 She has adorable clay jewelry, phone cases, stickers, scrunchies and so much more. Shopping small is something I’m passionate about as I think it’s just so much better to support and I love helping out the small shop owners! If you see something you love or something you think someone you know may love on the RNTBoutiques shop, I highly encourage you to buy it and bless Lina’s day! I’m sure all orders make her happy 🙂

Let me show you some fun pictures now! I love how these photos turned out, I took them all on a DSLR and edited them with a free vsco filter ❤

I absolutely adore these flower claw clips! They work surprisingly well on thick hair and they’re a creative twist on the claw clips everyone is wearing now a days! I also LOVE the colors of them, they’re beautiful! These would work greta as stocking stuffers or as an addition to a gift basket for a friend.

LOOK HOW CUTE!!! The strawberry and blueberry cows have my heart and the aesthetics of the whale and butterfly?! I can’t 🥰

When Lina messaged me and asked if my ears were pierced I was thrilleddd! The jewelry on her site is all so cute and the pieces she sent me do not disappoint! I can’t even express how much I love the daisy earrings, I’ve been wanting some earrings like this and The clay earrings are so intricately designed 🤩 These are a wonderful gift for any earring lover.

As it says on the description of the shop, Lina loves sending extras in her orders! On purchases of $50 and above, you get one of these adorable little suitcases along with other extras 🎉 She sent some scrunchies to me and they matched perfectly with the blue and cow print theme!

SO CUTE 🐮💙

AHHH I love these socks!! They’re so cozy and cute to pair with some black leggings and an oversized t-shirt or sweater!

and to finish it off, a cute, sweet note from Lina!

Once again, thank you so so much Lina for being willing to send me these products and for being so kind and thoughtful! This was such fun post and collab and I hope we can collab again ❤ I appreciate it so much!

That’s all I’ve got for today guys!! What’d you think?? What was your favorite product from this post?! Whats on your Christmas wishlist?

Spooky fall cookies for you to try yum

Hey girlies! How are youuu? I’m good 🙂

The other day my sister and I got together and we had a little cookie decorating party with a friend! It was super fun and I think the cookies turned out pretty adorable 🥰

So I thought, why not share some pics with you guys! Also, I’ve been having a bit of writers block so if you have any post ideas for me, please please please drop them in the comments, I’d much appreciate!!

Anyways, here’s some photos!

Which cookie is your fav? And I love the Christmas tree one, I had to throw that one in because I’m definitely getting into the holiday spirit 🙂

Ok! After that sneaks peak I’ll give you the recipe haha 🙂

This recipe is called “the best sugar cookies” and it’s a family recipe! They’re super super easy to make and worked perfect for our cookie decorating party!

Ingredients:

1 cup softened butter
1 cup granulated white sugar
1 tsp.almond extract
1 egg
2 tsp. baking powder
3 cups all purpose flour

And then there’s no baking instructions but we baked on 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes! They turned out great and tasted so good!

baking process 🙂

Next, to decorate we made royal icing which was awesome! It was my first time making this kind of icing and it was so fun to use and super duper easy to make! I’ll link the recipe below 🙂

Utah roadtrip 2021 | Photo journal

Hey lovelies! How are y’all?? I’m grand 🙂 Um so I haven’t posted in foreverrrr but I have exciting news, I went on a road trip to Utah! I’ve always thought Utah looked like a really cool place and so while looking for a destination for a family road trip, I suggested Utah and my parents agreed! I also knocked a couple other states of my list of states I wanted to visit so that was thrilling 🙂

We went to Idaho, Utah, Nevada and even Arizona! AZ was wonderful, I was there for about 2 whole minutes while I took a picture with the state sign and then we turned around and drove over the state line haha! But I got to cross it off my list and now I can say I’ve been there 🤩 Anyways, I might add a little bit of commentary along with these pictures but I’ve got two batches of clothes to fold so I just wanted to hop on and do a little photo journal of my trip!

**All photos taken on my iPhone 11 and edited with free vsco filters or Lightroom presets 🙂

ALSO: saddest thing ever for my little photographer heart. I dropped my phone in Utah right as we were getting into Idaho and my phone camera broke 😭 Now all my photos in direct sunlight with the back camera have a huge glare. Quite sad. Hopefully I can get it fixed soon and its not too expensive 🤞🏼

The arches! This was such a cool park to see 🤩

all these pictures above were taken in Idaho except for the cartwheel one, that one was from the bonneville salt flats 🙂 Btw, highly recommend the salt flats if you like taking pictures, it was SO pretty!

of course I had to get coffee in Utah haha 😉 Not a ton of coffee shops though which was quite sad but I tried swig which was pretty good!

Anyways, that’s all for this post! I’ve got a super fun collab coming up, ft. some really cool socks I’m excited to show you guys 🤭 Also, i’m now addicted to funky socks, they’re the best haha!

what was your favorite picture? What is your favorite state? How many states have you been to? Ever went on a road trip? Comment down below, id love to chat! 💓🌸

Quick life update & giveaway question, I need your help! Points at you

Hello Lovelies! How are you doing today? I hope you’re doing great 🙂

Today I mainly did some school, I worked on debate, logic, and science. I have my first debate of the year on Thursday so please pray for me! I’m scared because I don’t do well in debate. I’m growing some beans for science and surprise, they’re actually growing!! I’m pretty amazed at my skills, I don’t have much of a green thumb. But I’m thinking maybe I should give plants more of a try. What plants are the easiest to grow?!

okay, onto the second part of my post! GUYS!!! I’m almost at 300 followers! Ahh *faints* you guys are awesome and I can’t believe my blog has grown that much! To show my appreciation to you guys, I want to do a giveaway. I really truly deeply want to make it international but I don’t know if I’ll be able too, due to cost. Any suggestions on how I could do that? I know a good bit of my favorite blogging buddies live outside of the US and I want to make the giveaway available for them. So I’m trying to work something out for that! And the real question (and reason I’m posting this): Would y’all rather a fall themed giveaway or a journal/stationary/pen pal-y themed giveaway? Lemme know by doing the survey please because I don’t know!! They both sound cool to me :)) Also, I think I have 292 followers, so we’re only 8 follows away from the giveaway!

Click here to do the survey!

Tomorrow I have a review post coming up so make sure to keep your eyes open for that!

So, that’s my question. I hope you had a lovely day, remember ur awesome and God loves you ❤

xx, Jasmin
