I Haven't Posted A Selfie In A While, But I Am Still Very Cute To Keep You Updated

Kaitlyn Krueger

The amount of time girls spend setting up for pictures, dressing up for pictures, taking pictures, and editing pictures is insane, and TBH I am one of those girls.

I’m one of those girls who suggests going downtown or somewhere just to take pictures. I’m one of those girls who spends a solid 45 minutes finding the perfect outfit for pictures and going through six different outfits in the process. I’m one of those girls whose camera roll is 200 pictures straight of essentially the same picture of my friends and I in different poses.

Yes. I’m really basic.

Whether you’re closet basic, or loud and proud basic like me, there is a place in the Kansas City area you NEED to know about.

The Selfie Boutique.

A super cute, super unique, and super fun place to spend an afternoon and take the perfect Instagram pics!

It’s the perfect excuse to dress up, get dolled, and head downtown to Westport with your besties!

THE Salacia, Molly Balloons and a ton of other Kansas City artists have come together to make an art playground, perfect for taking selfies in front of, inside of, and on top of all their backdrops.#beleiveinyourselfie is what they are all about, taking out any shame that comes with taking a selfie and encouraging you to take as many as possible!

So far they have had two different exhibits, and their newest one just opened up February 16^th and is here to stay for a while.

So of course I grabbed my friends Meg and Tomara, and went last weekend… and I’d give it a 10/10 for everything!

The backdrops are super creative, soooo cute, and they had the perfect lighting set up! Complete with lighting rings and white, reflective umbrellas!

I swear, I’ve never looked better in a picture until the ones I took here!

Pose after pose, selfie after selfie, I was free to be as basic, yet creative as I wanted to be. There’s no shame in taking an obscene number of pictures here because it’s what everyone around you is doing.

(No shame in getting all the angles either, the people here really encourage you to just do you).

My personal favorite backdrop was the

Sky room

And the flower wall…

The hippy dippy corner

Candy Land

An abstract alcove

A room full of twinkles

And a couple other set-ups

I’m tempted to keep going back weekend after weekend in different outfits just to have a tons of adorable pictures to post on my insta, but that’s a little too extra, even for me.

But don’t take my or my friend’s opinion on it, go check it out for yourself! I promise you’ll fall in love and you’ll get the most likes you’ve ever gotten on an Instagram pic because they are just that perfect!

They are open from noon-10 p.m. week days and till midnight on weekends, so you really don’t have an excuse not to go now!

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
