One last week at home… I can’t even believe I’m typing that! We’re off to the Outer Banks this week to soak up the sun and enjoy one last trip away from home. Just a few days to pack next week and then Madison and I are off to our respective states to begin our junior years. Time certainly is flying.
I tried my best to make the most of this last full week at home—prepping YouTube videos, running last-minute back-to-school errands, selling clothes, and enjoying slow mornings in bed! When do you head back to school? I know some schools have already gone back and am curious to hear when all the fun begins for you too! Let me know in the comments below; in the meantime, enjoy!
With love, McKenz

Our last day in Wisconsin was spent squeezing in a few last golf cart rides and taking photos with the fam. We headed to the airport around noon and embarked on a twelve-hour travel day. Needless to say, I slept well tonight, lol!

My first day back home called for a slow morning in bed editing YouTube videos and getting up a Weekly Wrap Up. I eventually got up and out of bed, putting makeup on for the first time in ages. I filmed a couple of videos and then went to TJ Maxx to pick up some last-minute room decor for my college apartment. I can’t wait to show you everything I got!

Started the morning off at breakfast with Connor, Chase, and Madison. We went to Mount Airy Inn and it was delicious as always! We continued on our way to Costco to pick up all kinds of back-to-school necessities + treats. I edited some sponsored content and worked on a blog post before meeting the Manions for dinner at the Hornet’s Nest—our last time all together for the summer.

Twas a very, very busy filming day for me! I got a ton of mail while I was away so today I hunkered down filming three Tik Toks and three try-on hauls. It’s been ages since I’ve bulk filmed like this and I have to admit, I kind of enjoyed it. There’s something about that kind of productivity that I just love. Went to Connor’s tonight to finish Virgin River!

Finally got my hands on an exercise dress and my gosh am I obsessed. I figured this would be the perfect outfit for my busy day. I spent much of the afternoon outside setting up for my in-person closet sale. I had a few early hours today where I let people come and shop. It was so nice getting to see old friends all in one place.

Had more closet sale hours today and from 10-2 I let people shop my gently-used items. It always feels so good to clear stuff out, especially before a big move like I have coming up. I broke everything down before editing a few YouTube videos for next week. Somewhere in the mix, we ate dinner as a fam and I packed up my suitcase for one last summer vacation.

We try to squeeze in one last-minute beach trip every summer before going back to school. We woke up bright and early today for our trip down to the Outer Banks. We’ll be here for a full week and I couldn’t be more excited. There’s nothing I love more than a week spent relaxing by the water, especially before the chaos of school begins. More pictures to come on Instagram @styledbymckenz.
