I love reading routine posts and learning about all the products people have been obsessed with! I recently had a night to unwind from the day, so I was excited to share this updated nighttime routine with you 🌻

B.L.O.O.M : March/April 2018!
It’s been a few months since I’ve done a favorites post and I’m back to share my March and April essentials. It’s been a crazy with college ending, but I’ve accumulated quite a few faves!
I also have an exciting announcement! I re-launched my Instagram page for the blog! Some people already follow my personal account, but I wanted to make one for the blog so I can share more direct content to everyone. Feel free to follow my new one!! –> Beyond This Fence 💛
B.L.O.O.M : February 2018!
Happy March everyone! February flew by so fast, but I did collect quite a few favorites.❤️ Just as a refresher for everyone new to the blog – first, welcome to Beyond This Fence! This blog features posts about lifestyle, thrifting, makeup, and everything in-between, all from the perspective of a 22-year-old college student. Secondly, “B.L.O.O.M” is an acronym for my monthly favorites of Beauty, Literature, Obsessions, Outfits, and Music! Let’s hop into it.
B.L.O.O.M : January 2018!

I posted two other blogs this week, so you haven’t checked them out, I’ll link them here -> A Friday For The Soul & My Valentine’s Day Coffee. Enjoy ❤️
B.L.O.O.M : November/December 2017
Happy Thursday everyone! It’s been a few months since I posted a “B.L.O.O.M” so I combined my November and December favorites!
7 Days of Self Care : The Follow-Up
Happy Thursday!
About a month ago, I shared my challenge of taking time out of your day, for 7 days, to focus on your physical and mental health. My roommate Liv and I followed through with each day and journaled how we felt about the challenges we set for ourselves. Here are our results!
Day 1 : De-Clutter
On this day, we cleaned our living room and kitchen. Based on what Liv and I wrote in our journals, we agree that we just have to do these things to get them out-of-the-way. In Liv’s journal, she wrote, “we found that cleaning up took less effort than we originally thought, especially when done with friends and some good tunes,” which is true! Time passes so much quicker when you’re enjoying yourself.
Day 2 : Talk About Happiness
My friend and I stayed up really late and talked about some great old memories from high school and childhood. It was one of the best nights I’ve had in a while. We both could tell that we were pleasantly lost in the topic and before we knew it, it was 3am.
Day 3 : Meditate/Take Time to Think
Liv and I are both very familiar with meditation. This week we both set the goal to try to challenge ourselves to extend our meditation sessions. I had a very successful meditation session this day. Liv provided a link to the meditation she did and it made her feel more confident and energized for the day! Here’s the link –> Guided Morning Meditation
Day 4 : Water
This was a challenging one for me! I usually use my reusable container for coffee, and if I’m just slowly sipping on my coffee, I won’t refill my container with water until later in the day. For Liv, this was an easy one. She has a habit of drinking 2L a day, but challenged herself to sip it periodically throughout the day, instead of chugging it down. Water is really important and this challenge taught me how to be better at getting in my necessary amounts!
Day 5 : Music
Liv listed three albums she has been loving;
“CTRL– SZA ; Something about this album JUST gets to me. It documents well her transition into her twenty-something years. This album puts into words this evolution of self, in a relatable way.
Friday Night Lights– J. Cole ; I made a mix-tape of this album in high school, and would play it driving to and from school just about everyday. I love that feeling of putting on a song you haven’t listened to in years and still remembering all the words.
Hozier– Hozier; This is another one I rediscovered my love for. Every song off of the album takes me to a specific time, memory, and feeling. I love this one for walking around campus to some happy jams.”
I wrote down the 10 songs that always hit me right in the feels;
- The Girl // City and Colour
- Fallingforyou // The 1975
- Hallelujah // Paramore
- Daydreaming // Paramore
- Stay // Sugarland
- Move Together // James Bay
- Real Estate // Wild Child
- Airplanes // Local Natives
- Dave’s Song // Whitney
- Perfect Places // Lorde
Day 6 : Pamper Yourself
Liv and I have an obsession with face-masks so there’s no doubt that that’s how we pampered ourselves this day. Coming home after a long day of being on campus, hopping in the shower, putting on a face mask, watching some Netflix, is the way to treat yourself!
Day 7 : Bucket List
First one is Liv’s, second on is mine!
Overall, Liv and I had a really great experience with setting daily challenges. It made us think more about what we need to do for ourselves. We all have some time in our day to sit and take care of our health!
Thanks for reading.
Stay rad,
