wrap up ╳ JULY 2016

Hello! I’m here today with my July wrap up, it’s been so hectic the past two months so I wasn’t able to do a wrap up for June, but hopefully this July one makes up for it 🙂 These wrap up posts tend to get really long, but it seems like you guys are ok with the length, so grab a seat and read on!
