today on my blog I talked about different ways to style ripped jeans👖I love how you can wear these abercrombie jeans so many ways! ⁣ ⁣ these Tory Burch dupes are almost identical to the real thing and only $27! I’m all about affordable fashion 😂 which outfit is your favorite?!

this quarantine is really starting to get to me...I miss my family, friends, and wandering aimlessly around target 😜⁣ ⁣ I know myself, and I know that the best way to keep somewhat sane is to stay in a routine, and have structure. so I’ve been using this time to focus on my health and fitness - I’ve been teaching virtual kickitbyeliza classes, lifting weights in my little basement gym, and tracking all of my macros. ⁣ ⁣ but if that isn’t what you’re using this time for - that’s OKAY. if you’re using this time to get some extra sleep, that’s okay. if you’re taking this time to work on a house project or invest in a hobby, that’s okay. if you’re online shopping, baking cookies, or binge watching tv shows (something else I’m also doing!), all of that is O K A Y. ✨ you’re entitled to feel however you need to feel right now. there’s no right or wrong way to cope, and it’s taken my a couple of weeks to realize that. ⁣ ⁣ I’m praying that all of this goes back to normal soon and that we’ll all be able to go back to spending time with people we love and doing the things that we love. ❤️ we’re all in this together. 💫

the only reason I like doing my nails now is because of the oliveandjune Everything Box! it has everything I need to get a salon quality mani at home. ⁣I know I’ve posted about it before, but I’m obsessed 😂 ⁣ ⁣⁣ I know we’re in quarantine, but something about having my nails done makes me feel more out together 💅🏼 I love doing fun manis like this...it definitely helps pass the time! ⁣ ⁣ what are you doing to stay occupied?!

a few necessities during this quarantine? comfy clothes, Netflix, and realmilkandhoney! #ad⁣ ⁣ Milk & Honey is all natural, gluten free, and has 33% less sugar than the leading liqueur- all of the taste with none of the guilt 💁🏻‍♀️ ⁣ ⁣ check out their Instagram to find out where you can buy it! it’s definitely a quarantine essential 😍

⁣ I had to get creative with taking pics since I can’t go anywhere and take them 😂 so I decided to use my tripod and take some pics! this is also the first time in a few weeks that I actually did my hair and put on makeup..I felt human again! 😂 ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ this top runs a little big, I sized down one size to a medium! it’s also on sale for 40% off right now. ❤️🤗⁣ ⁣ p.s. can you spot my little picture helper? 😂

throwing it back to my pre-quarantine days and my trip to Charleston 🤩 I’m trying to be as positive as I can, but definitely can’t wait to go to starbucks again...and actually have a reason to do my hair and makeup 😂⁣ ⁣ how are you making the best of this social distancing?! we’ve got this, friends! 🙌🏼🥰

guys, I have found the secret to getting a perfect mani at home- the oliveandjune Everything Box! it comes with everything I need to make my nails look salon quality without even leaving my house 🤗 ⁣⁣💅🏼 ⁣⁣ I was super skeptical before I bought the kit and purchased it based on great reviews and knowing I could do a review for it for my blog- and I was NOT disappointed! these are my new favorite nail polishes. they go on so smooth, don’t bubble, and last for weeks. I’m saving so much money doing my nails at home, plus it’s something to keep me occupied while I’m practicing social distancing 🤗 ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ head over to see my full review on confidentlycarina.com! you can buy the individual nail polish at target, or get the kits on the Olive & June website. 💖

think positive thoughts like...😌⁣ ⁣ this past week or so has been crazy. things are scary, uncertain, and stressful. in times like this, I think it’s so important to extend extra kindness to others, check in on those that might be in need, and continue to pray for everyone affected by this crazy pandemic that’s happening.⁣ ⁣ I hope that my Instagram continues to be a positive, happy place for everyone to come to and get some relief from these tough times. I hope to continue posting inspiration, fashion & makeup, but please know I’m not taking any of this lightly. I’m praying for each and every one of you and I hope you all stay safe! we can all get through this together if we continue to pray, trust in God, and wash our hands 👏🏼🥰

happy Saturday friends! 🤗 yesterday in my stories I shared how blogging can be HARD. creating content can be difficult, it’s time consuming, and sometimes, you feel super vulnerable.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ it’s also SO fun. I love being creative, making new friends, and helping people. whether it’s as simple as getting a great deal and wanting to share it or writing about something personal that’s going on with me in hopes of being able to comfort someone else who is going through or has gone through the same thing. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ some people don’t understand why I’m blogging and and that’s okay. I’ve learned that 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝐢𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬 𝐢𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤. so hold your head high, and do what YOU want to do. don’t let the opinions of others effect you. 🙌🏼 ⁣⁣ ⁣ 📸: sarahkbecker_photography
