I am back to teaching today as last week I finally had spring break! I wanted to share with you my go to teacher bag. Now I know what you're thinking, why do you need a bag for teaching? But let me tell you...I have so many papers and agendas that get hauled back and forth with me to school that I needed something to keep me organized.<br />
<br />
My solution...DIAPER BAGS! I have found that diaper bags make the best teacher bags. They make for super easy organization and most of the time they are super durable. Now a little disclaimer, I started off the year with the <b><a href="http://www.skiphop.com/diaper-bags/chelsea-downtown-diaper-satchel" target="_blank">Skip Hop Chelsea Downtown Satchel</a></b>. However, around Thanksgiving I hurt my back pretty bad and was not able to carry the load on only one shoulder, so I've had to switch to diaper backpacks! And I'm so glad that I did.<br />
<br />
My current bag is the <b><a href="http://www.skiphop.com/diaper-bags/forma-diaper-backpack" target="_blank">Skip Hop Forma Backpack</a></b> and it is the best purchase I've ever made. Not only is it a lightweight fabric, but it offers the convenience of being able to organize everything from my laptop to papers that need to be graded to my ridiculous amount of colored pens. Everything has a spot in this backpack!<br />

During the day it has to be functional because you are constantly walking around the classroom and kneeling down to the students level and at night it has to be sophisticated and professional for performances or activities that might involve interacting with parents. I have found that the kind of jewelry that I wear is the key to transitioning my outfits from day to night.<br />

I recently came across <b><a href="https://auratenewyork.com/" target="_blank">AUrate New York</a></b> online and I could not be more in love with their simplistic jewelry and <b><a href="https://auratenewyork.com/collections/earrings" target="_blank">earrings</a></b>. Even better for each piece of jewelry you purchase at <b><a href="https://auratenewyork.com/" target="_blank">AUrate</a></b>, an economically underprivileged child will receive a book.<br />

Can't believe it's been almost a year since I've posted. It is absolutely crazy how life changes in unexpected ways and shows you what truly matters. Back in 2015, I wrote about what it meant to me to become a teacher and the reasons why I was going back to school...you can read that <b><u><a href="http://kindlywithk.blogspot.com/2015/07/becoming-high-school-teacher.html" target="_blank">here</a></u></b>. Looking back on that, all of my reasons still hold true and I could not be more happy with my decision to get back into teaching.<br />
<br />
I don't quite know yet what this space is going to become, but I do know that it will evolve with me! I want to share my teaching tips to teacher fashion to everything in between. Becoming a teacher is probably the best thing that I have ever done and I'm excited to see how Kindly With K evolves!<br />
<br />
Let me know if there is anything in particular that you would like me to share or if you just want to chat! Feel free to email me at kindlywithk@gmail.com or send me a message on social media @KindlyWithK!<br />
<br />
I really am looking forward to being back!<br />

I am very much an accessories girl and I can never have too many pairs of shoes or sunglasses. Mixing in some fun shoes and sunglasses this summer into the daily mix is the perfect way to spruce up your style this season.<br />
<br />
Let me first introduce you to <b><a href="https://www.ditto.com/" target="_blank">DITTO</a></b>. If you haven't heard about them, now is the time because they are amazing. Their Endless Eyewear program works similarly to a subscription box, but the product is designer sunglasses! For $24 a month, you receive an endless rotation of designer eyewear. Pick your favorite pair, and they send them to you. Keep them for an unlimited amount of time. When you're ready, order your next pair. Send back the last pair when you receive your new pair and enjoy the endless rotation of your favorite sunglasses! It really is an amazing program and allows you to wear designer sunglasses for less...I know I'm in! Check out some of my summer faves...<br />

Now you can't have the perfect summer outfit without adding the perfect pair of shoes! My go-to for comfy, yet chic summer shoes is<b><a href="http://www.francosarto.com/?icid=TopNav_Logo" target="_blank"> Franco Sarto</a></b>. It's a brand I know and trust and one that consistently has just what I'm looking for. And probably the best part about Franco Sarto shoes is that I can walk miles in them and they never seem to give me any problems. Here are some of my summer faves...<br />

Hi everyone! What a year it's been! Yesterday was my last day of student teaching and I can officially say that I am now a teacher...woot, woot!! I am now in the process of finding a full-time position at either a middle school or a high school and I am keeping my fingers crossed that the right opportunity comes my way.<br />
<br />
The past year has definitely been an eye-opening, life-changing experience. While completing my teaching credential and student teaching, my mind and my heart has been opened in ways I never thought possible. There were some bad days where I broke down and cried, but the overwhelming good days made it all worthwhile knowing that I was following my passion and truly making a difference in my students lives. As I said goodbye to my first classes yesterday, I realized just how big of an impact they had made on my life and on my heart. I cannot wait to see what the future holds for me and where I will end up next!<br />
<br />
But for now I am excited to be back to blogging! I am still taking courses over the summer to complete my Masters of Teaching, but I'm looking forward to bringing you new content and connecting with everyone again. Please feel free to reach out if there is anything you would like to see on Kindly With K or even just to say hello! Here's to the new me! :)<br />

<b><span style="font-size: large;">Tell us a little about yourself.</span></b><br />
Hey y'all! I'm Emily Bastedo. I am a technology consultant by day and a life & style blogger at <b><a href="http://www.somethinggoldsomethingblue.com/" target="_blank">Something Gold, Something Blue</a></b> by night. I graduated from the University of Notre Dame a few years back and currently live in Houston, TX. Typical of the consulting industry, I am often traveling four days a week and living out of a suitcase. I am so fortunate that I have been able to experience so many different cities and cultures and believe that my style and personality reflect this.<br />
<br />
I am obsessed with everything at Sephora, am subscribed to more magazines that I can count, love college football and I am on a journey to live a healthier lifestyle. I love puppies, group fitness classes and am always accessorizing (hello, statement necklaces). I love to try different fashion trends, but tend to stick to a preppy, southern girl look! Overall, I’m just a 20-something trying to navigate my way though the “real world.”<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-size: large;">What inspired or motivated you to first start your blog?</span></b><br />
For my job, I travel pretty much every Monday to Thursday to my client sites. While sitting in my hotel room two years ago, I was reading a lot of different blogs to pass the time. I decided that I wanted to start my own blog - just as a way to document some of my favorite things and my travels. It was kind of one of those moments where I was fearless and said "I can do this too..." So, I created a Blogger account and began writing my first post.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Do you blog full-time, for fun, as a hobby? Share your evolution!</span></b><br />
When I started, my blog was just a creative outlet - I would post when I felt like it and I really didn't tell anyone about it. It took me about six months to tell my best friends and family that it existed. Over the past year, I have really started to view my blog as a hobby - something that I love to invest time and resources into. Over time, I hope that I can start to make a bit of money off of it - I mean, who doesn't want to get paid for something they love? But for right now, it's still a creative outlet and way for me to share my point of view.<br />

<b><span style="font-size: large;">What’s your favorite thing about being a blogger?</span></b><br />
I think my favorite about being a blogger and something that completely surprised me is the community and friendships I have made. Like I mentioned previously, when I started blogging, I went at it solo. I quickly burned out. I definitely am a people person and thrive on relationships. About a year ago, I took the plunge and attended my first blog conference. It was local in Houston, which was perfect for me! It allowed me to connect with other bloggers and to collaborate. Over the past year, I have attended events with these ladies, provided and received encouragement, and shared tips/tricks on the blogging struggles. What started as acquaintances at a blog conference have become some good friends. I have also been able to make friendships with people over the Internet, such as with Kourtney, that provide encouragement and what I lovingly refer to as my "tribe."<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">What do you hope your readers walk away with after reading your blog?</span></b><br />
No matter what your size, you can still look and feel gorgeous!!!<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Are there any people, or other bloggers, you see as examples or to whom you aspire to?</span></b><br />
Man, where do I even begin to answer this question. There are so many people that I love to follow and for many different reasons.<br />
<br />
First, I would say Krista from <b><a href="http://www.coveringbases.com/" target="_blank">Covering the Bases</a></b> - I am always fascinated by her stories and wit in her posts. And I think she does some extremely creative series. What I try and take away from her is the know-with-all to add some humor to my posts and to make sure that I think outside the box.<br />
<br />
I also love to follow Molly from <b><a href="http://www.stillbeingmolly.com/" target="_blank">Still Being Molly</a></b>. I have never met her, but she seems so authentic online and I love that she incorporates her faith into everything she does. I also love that she doesn't take herself too seriously. Sometimes I can get lost in this blogging world and it is refreshing to see someone genuine. (psst...I seriously want to be her when I grow up.)<br />
<br />
Another person that I have learned a tremendous amount from this year is Meg from <b><a href="http://megoonthego.com/" target="_blank">Meg O. on the Go.</a></b> She always has flawless makeup. I met Meg last year at my first blogging conference and I am so grateful that she has taken the time to explain some of the ins and outs of blogging to me. I hope to emulate that - the ability to be collaborative and knowing that we all can succeed.<br />
<br />
I feel so bad that I have left off some of the bloggers that inspired me to start my little corner of the Internet, but these are some of the major qualities that have inspired me to be a better blogger and, in some aspects, a better person.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">What advice would you give those who want to go into blogging?</span></b><br />
I think first a foremost, just be yourself! Your blog is your space, so make sure you are sticking to who you are and not to what you think people want to read. Similar to this point, find what works for you! Personally, I can only post about once a week. Would I love to do more? Sure! But, my job and other commitments, which mean just as much to me, are also time intensive and stretching myself too thin to get an extra blog post up is unrealistic for me.<br />
<br />
I would also say that blogging can get expensive. From photography materials to products to blog conference to hosting fees. Especially when you are starting out or are trying to expand, there are so many ideas of what you may want for your blog. Write them down for future reference, but make sure to set a monthly budget for yourself to ensure you don't go crazy (I say this from experience....). It can be awhile before you make money from your blog - I'm two years in and have been paid less than $100 and received less than $500 in free product. And I have spent way more. But, I love it and wouldn't do it any differently.<br />

<b><span style="font-size: large;">Five fun facts! </span></b><br />
1// I started spinning about a year and a half ago and I am completely obsessed. Due to my travel schedule, I have been fortunate to spin at all different studios across the county, including Flywheel, Soul Cycle, Cycle House and Revolution. I am always open to other studios to try, so please let me know if there is one I should check out!<br />
2// Similarly to spinning, I love doing "Cupcake Tours" of the country. My absolute favorite cupcake shop I have tried is Georgetown Cupcakes - their vanilla ones are fabulous!!<br />
3// I am a huge musical theater geek. I have been fortunate to see over 50 shows. During my most recent trip to NYC, I saw 4 shows over my 4 day trip....yep, totally hooked...<br />
4// I love to cook - I never really follow recipes to a "T." They are always a guide, but I always end up adding something extra....<br />
5// On Thursday nights, you can find me with a glass of wine watching the #TGIT line-up. No matter how much heartbreak Grey's Anatomy has put me through, I will always be there.<br />

I'm not going to be making New Year's resolutions because I feel like I set goals for myself on a daily basis, so why make a New Year's resolution list?! Do you make New Year's resolutions??<br />

Wishing everyone love, happiness and peace this year!<br />

It was also the Winter Solstice which means it was the shortest day of the year! That means it is time to break out of the fall hues and step into the cozy blues and fiery reds.<br />
<br />
Transitioning from fall to winter can be fairly simply because a lot of the time we can just switch up our accessories while still keeping our basics. Take your basic black dress for instance...<br />
<div style="margin: 0 auto; width: 600px;">

</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Winter is also a great time to explore some amazing color combinations! Pairing your favorite lingerie with your makeup is also another great way to welcome winter. And I'm sure the gentlemen in your life will appreciate your coordinating accessories!</div>

Except why not give a gift that keeps on giving. Gifts that have potential to give way past the point of exchange are perfect for those last minute holiday shoppers.<br />
<br />
One of my favorite things this year has been memberships and subscription boxes. They come in all different shapes and sizes and you can pretty much find one that fits every type of person...whether they are a fashionista, cooking extraordinaire or a dog lover, there is a gift for them! Here are some of my favorite finds from over the course of the year...<br />
<br />

They deliver fresh razors and other shave products directly to your door on whatever regular basis best suits your needs. This will undoubtedly be a convenience for whoever you choose to give it to, and will help them keep their jawline shiny and smooth.<br />

For the caffeine addict in your life. Craft Coffee selects and sends coffee from around the world to your doorstep at the regular interval of your choosing.

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Tell us a little about yourself.</b> </span><br />
I'm a twenty-something gal currently tucked up in Northern VA. I'm originally from Atlanta and hope to make my way back there some day so I can be closer to my family. In my spare time, I enjoy blogging, reading, practicing yoga, and anything that has to do with food! I'm a self-proclaimed foodie.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>What inspired or motivated you to first start your blog?</b> </span><br />
I've been an avid blog reader for about 6 years now, and last October I decided to try my hand at blogging. I haven't looked back since! I find writing extremely relaxing and love sharing my thoughts with the world. I'd be just as happy if nobody read my posts, and it absolutely thrills me that people do! (shameless thank you plug to my lovely readers!)<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Do you blog full-time, for fun, as a hobby? Share your evolution!</span></b><br />
I consider blogging my favorite hobby, and have definitely started to take it more seriously over the past 6 months. I have a sales job that keeps me busy from 8-5 during the week and spend as much of my free time as I can curating my little corner of the internet. As I mentioned before, I write for the sheer joy that I receive every time I hit 'publish'. I'd love to devote more time to it in the future, but we shall have to see if and when life allows me to do so!<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">What’s your favorite thing about being a blogger?</span></b><br />
I'd have to say that my favorite thing has got to be the community that I've found. The internet can be a cruel place and I'm so lucky to have been embraced by a supportive, stellar, and talented group of people who are with me every step of my blogging journey! Every single comment, email, tweet, and like make the effort I put into my blog worthwhile.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<b><span style="font-size: large;">What do you hope your readers walk away with after reading your blog? </span></b><br />
My goal is to connect my readers with content that inspires and beautifies their lives! Whether that be a new beauty product, recipe, or idea- I love sharing knowledge. I try to write in the same tone that I use when I talk to my friends, so I hope that people feel like they're interacting with a friend through my posts.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Are there any people, or other bloggers, you see as examples or to whom you aspire to? </span></b><br />
I love everything about Julia Engel's site - <a href="http://galmeetsglam.com/" target="_blank"><i>Gal Meets Glam</i></a> - and completely admire her personal style. The first blog that sucked me into the blogosphere was Ashley of <i><a href="http://sweetsouthernprep.com/" target="_blank">Sweet Southern Prep</a></i>. I love the clothing she features and her personality that shines through her posts seems so relatable. Although I'm not a fashion blogger, I love to read fashion blogs! They are great to pull ideas and inspiration from for my everyday life. These two in particular inspire me to be myself when online and are great examples of loyal followings gained by being authentic!<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">What advice would you give those who want to go into blogging? </span></b><br />
Just go for it! Yes, it's scary. But you can control how much of yourself you share (like me, I blog anonymously!) and you can control what you talk about. That really gives you the control to create something you're proud of. As for what to write about- I think if you have a unique spin on something, you have a blog post!<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Five fun facts!</span></b><br />
1 // My favorite animal is a turtle.<br />
2 // I'm a red wine lover.<br />
3 // I think that Friends is the best show, ever.<br />
4 // I love coffee!<br />
5 // I'll try any food once.<br />
