2012 was a very odd year. It was pretty good but had it's down falls, like every year. I learned a lot about myself but also fell into bad habits. It was one of my better years, not too much drama and a lot of good stuff such as becoming Vice Archon of my sorority chapter, making new friends, decreasing my anxiety…

This year I discovered a lot of new companies and brands. Some were new to me, others were new to the world. It was exciting to become familiar with these brands and buy their products...they've now become my favorites! Maybooks I discovered these adorable notebooks at the beginning of the summer and I've beco…

I've had a revelation about my life and my personality. Don't you love when that happens? I've realized that I need to stop thinking so much. I need to just calm down. I'm not saying I'm uptight but I need to just take a chill pill. My biggest thing is I could never just spontaneously do anything. …

New Years is approaching quickly and 2012 is officially coming to an end. We get a clean slate, a fresh new start, and a whole slew of new mistakes (and resolutions) to make.  This year was a good year for beauty, in my opinion. I discovered some great things that I now cannot live without. I've blogged about most…

I think that perfume is one of the best parts about being a woman. There are so many different scents out there and you're able to play around with all of them until you find your favorite. Floral, fruity, lavender, vanilla, light, strong...there are so many different kinds to choose from. Marc Jacobs Daisy This i…

Merry Christmas Eve everyone! I almost like Christmas Eve better than the day because the excitement builds! You see your presents under the tree, you go to eat with your family, and then you just want to go to sleep so you can wake up ! I love Christmas, the entire season but this year I'm a bit of a grinch becau…

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVE!  What better way to celebrate Christmas then with a Christmas manicure? I decided to be extremely festive and go with Essie's "Leading Lady" and "Blanc." I used my Sally Hansen Invisible top coat and Julep Maven Quick Dry Drops. I've never used "Blanc" before …

The countdown is on, Santa is getting his sleigh ready, and people are still doing last minute shopping. I really feel that Christmas snuck up on everyone this year because no one is prepared. The roads are a mess and the stores packed...it's a jungle out there! Stocking stuffers are my favorite gifts of all! They…

This is the time of year where I attempt to bake and craft all the lovely things that I've pinned to my Pinterest boards. I jumped right into it last night and tried a fairly simple "recipe" that I really couldn't mess up even if I tried. I've been seeing these candies all over Pinterest and deci…

I am a huge book worm; I love reading a good book and getting lost in the world the author has set up for me.  During the school year, I rarely get a chance to sit down and read because I'm so busy. That's why over this break, I am making a true effort to read as much as possible.  There are definitely a few b…

Can we please take a hot second to discuss the AMAZING finale? I thought it was amazing but I think I was just so fragile, emotional, and excited, anything would've satisfied me. After six seasons of constant turbulence, fashion trends, and scheming plans, Gossip Girl came to an end on Monday. This season went by …

I am in complete and utter shock at this moment. I've been struggling all day with how to form my emotions and I have no words, just tears and a heavy heart. When I heard the news that someone shot up an elementary school I felt complete heartbreak. As the day went on and the death toll went up, my heart felt heav…

This month Birchbox spiced up the box because of the Holiday season that we're currently in and that was a nice little surprise! As usual, there were grea…
