first of all… sorry for being a little MIA around here! it’s been a busy month & I probably won’t be consistently posting twice a week again until the school year is over 😦 right now my goal is to post at least once a week so make sure you follow me to keep up with my posts!!
anyways today I’m just going to be sharing a little photo dump from the month of march. i know i say this every single month but HOW IS IT ALREADY APRIL????? hehe. you guys loved it when i posted a photo dump for february so i decided to do another one! maybe it’ll become a monthly thing 🙂 anyways let me know what you think about the post in the comments & let’s get into it ❤
hey frens! welcome to christina and camera 💛 today i’m sharing some summer outfit inspo. if you like seeing cute pinteresty outfits then keep reading 😉
dresses
I love the look of flowy, light dresses paired with dainty jewelry in the summer like the ones above! dresses look great with sneakers (especially white ones) or wedges/sandals for a casual but still super cute look.
jeans
jeans are basically an essential year round, but I love the look of lighter wash in the summer! you can pair them with pretty much anything (ideas: tie a shirt for a new look, tuck in a white tee, roll up the sleeves of an oversized shirt) and they’ll look perfect.
shorts
shorts are obviously a summer essential! I love the look of overalls (or shortalls I guess?) wide/mom shorts, and paperbag shorts all of which are baggy which I personally think is way more comfy! shorts look cute with basically anything, but a solid color or striped shirt is great if you’re out of ideas.
skirts
skirts might not be your favorite, but I’ve recently fallen in love with them! they look great with a graphic tee (extra points if you tie it) or just a solid color if they have a pattern. solid color and spotted pattern skirts in all colors have been super trendy lately , and a jean skirt is also a great option!
did you enjoy seeing the cute outfits? do you like skirts? would anyone be interested in a cute swimsuit roundup (possibly with links so you can directly click over and buy it?) let me know, frens!!
Today I wanted to share a journal entry I recently made about intentionality, my summer goals, and screen time. My journal entries are basically blog posts (except more personal haha) and I try to make them something I would want to read again later. This doesn’t mean I try to make them perfect and they usually end up being really long lists hehe. Without further ado, my completely unedited and unfiltered (and rather long) journal entry. Let me know if this is something you’d like to see again in the future and I may share more!
Today I wanted to sit down and journal about my summer goals + how I want to be intentional this summer and screen time! It’s a lot but I think it all fits together.
My ultimate goal is: to be intentional with living out my purpose and to be loving and kind. To pursue my dreams, put God first in my life, act how I say I believe, be confident yet humble in Christ. For His love to abound through me and for me to grow in grace (philippians 1:9–11). And to have lots of fun and laughs along the way surrounded by those I love.
I wanted to separate this journal entry into sections, so:
My ultimate goal
What I can do to further that goal (specific goals/bucket list)
How i can be intentional this summer and what I mean by that
How technology/screens fits into that

Ways to be intentional this summer
Put down your phone!
Make a list of things to do when you get bored instead of refreshing instagram
journal
Write down goals, feelings, and experiences.
devotions
Don’t just read/study, actually learn and apply! Seek to live out your devos and make them an important part of your day
Be positive and don’t get down!! Be patient and hold your tongue
Be healthy/glow up!!
workout/eat healthy(ier)/drink more water/skincare
Screen time
This is something I have been thinking a lot about lately and really want to be intentional with my screen time. Some ways i have thought of to get off my phone/be intentional:
Have a rest day: my ultimate goal is for sundays to be zero screen usage. There is nothing you are missing out on AT ALL!! I may just power off for the whole day, we will see.
Checklist before screens: my current checklist (may change) – morning routine, clean room, earn $2, pick up bathroom, start laundry, devotions, physical activity/workout, read a book, be helpful/encouraging
Be intentional about what you do: even after you complete your checklist, be intentional! Goal: two hours per day at the most (this includes social media and blogging)
Acceptable things:
Blogging
When calls the heart (I’ve only watched a bit and don’t have netflix, but I may get it just for this!) or bringing up bates
Having a goal/purpose before you turn it on
Checking social media sometimes
Reading an ebook
Iffy things (put it down and do something else, come back later if you really want to)
Checking social media all. The. time.
Scrolling for no reason/with no purpose
Being on screens past 10:30 (go to bed, girl!)
I hope you enjoyed this little peek into my journal! If you’d like to read more of this type of post, let me know and I may make it a series 💛
do you have summer goals or a bucket list? any thoughts about intentionality and screen time? do you keep a journal? is it basically just lists like mine? #typeA
happy monday, guys!! I hope you’re having a lovely day. me – I can’t wait for spring break! I only have to push through this week (though it does include a math test, presentation in front of the class, history paper, and more) and then I get a week off 😊
these posts are actually some of my favorites to post and engage with on other people’s blogs and the questions are always really fun to answer so I’m really excited for this one.
🌻 hey guys! can you believe that it is almost spring? my spring break is coming up in about two weeks and I can’t believe it. I’ll probably be sharing some spring outfit ideas soon so look out for that ❤ christina
today I’m going to be sharing some spring wallpapers for your phone… I don’t know about you but I change my wallpaper every couple of days – there are so many cute ideas! If you’re wondering I find most of my wallpapers on pinterest, so these aren’t owned/made by me.
hey friends! I know this post sounds *so weird* but there are some really cute water bottle out there! hope you enjoy ❤
Okayyy you might be like “water bottles? christina do you literally have NO post ideas left?” BUT water bottles can actually be really cute and having a cute one is super good for drinking extra water 🙂
