I have such a great love for musicals. I never realized my appreciation for musicals until someone else said they didn't like them and I got very defensive. What is there not to like about a musical? Yes, they are corny and out there because no one just erupts into a musical number in the middle of the street or t…

I've been trying to live by this quote for the past few months and I can't tell if it's actually working. I used to put a lot of pressure on the past and what has happened there but in recent times, I've definitely stopped doing that. I've gotten so much better at living in the present and forgetti…

A few weeks ago, I told you about a new curling product I started using that I got from Birchbox . In this months' February box, I received another great curling product that I have been obsessed with! Miss Jessie's Original Pillow Soft Curls is the best hair product I have ever used. Seriously though, it…

All the manicure mondays I do are manicure that I give myself. And when I say manicure, I mostly mean just giving myself a fresh, different coat of polish. I rarely get into the nitty gritty of giving myself a real manicure. I don't cut my cuticles or file my nails every time I paint my nails only because they don…

I've missed Spotlight Saturday's the past few weeks but here's a new one! I have developed a very bad obsession with blogs ever since starting Royally Pink. I cannot get enough and I am always stumbling upon new ones to add to my Google Reader. The first blog I ever loved was College Prepster , which inspi…

This month's Birchbox is one of my favorites yet! I obviously peeked before my box arrived in the mail because I just couldn't wait and I'm so happy I did.  All the products I got were stuff that I really want to use and they're great sizes! They were bigger than sample sizes, more than I expected and …

It was such a busy week last week between Nemo and Recruitment Week that I'm happy it's over! Recruitment went amazingly--we had 100 young women come out for Greek life, the largest we've ever had on my campus. Our theme was NFL, Nation's Finest Ladies Drafting the Best Since 1913. Our recruitment chai…

If you've been watching the news or just been scrolling your instagram feed, you'll know that the Northeast was slammed with Nemo, our first blizzard of the season. I'm the type of person who loves the snow so the idea of a blizzard made me feel (ironically) warm inside. I do wish I was snowed in with my f…

A few weeks back I entered College Prepster's giveaway for a monogrammed necklace from Rutherford Papers . I always enter giveaways like this but I never win; I never win anything for that matter but the day before I got back to school after Christmas break, I got an email from the lovely Carly telling me I had w…

Believe in something magical today :)

Last night started Iona College's Spring 2013 Recruitment week! WOOOOO! Recruitment, to me, is the most exciting week of the entire year. It's the one week where talking about your sorority in the upmost standards is socially acceptable.  It's fine that we scream at the slideshow, paint our nails blue and …

Over Christmas break, I was at the drugstore when they got a new batch of Essie nail colors in. This particular store never has new polishes and the variety is always pretty disappointing.  That's why when I saw that they got new colors in, I was completely over joyed and quickly grabbed a few. I couldn't get…

My body is completely fighting off school, is anyone else's?  Last week I was sick with a cough, cold, and sore throat but I couldn't stop. I didn't even have time to go to the doctor, that's how busy I was. Now, the weekend hit and I didn't want to miss out on anything so I put my illness behind m…
