I have to start off by saying that 2014 was probably the best year I had in a while. It was definitely the most life changing year by far; so many wonderful things happened to me, so many incredible moments that I will cherish forever. It's safe to say that 2014 has completely altered me forever, for the good. On …

I already told you all about why I dislike New Years and I honestly don't even know what I'm doing tonight—probably just going out to dinner with my mom. Even though my plans are less than eventful and I won't be wearing a sparkly dress and heels, I still want to be somewhat festive. I really have been lo…

Is that title too pessimistic? It might be but it's the total truth. While everyone else is running around making plans for New Years Eve, getting their hair done, and planning out sparkly outfits, I'm being a complete scrooge and don't even have any set plans yet.  I've always hated New Years Eve...li…

This is my first ever fashion post, with real life pictures of me in outfits I styled...guys, this is a huge deal. I've definitely held back with "fashion blogging" because I kind of just wear what I have and what I'm comfortable in...and I'm kind of shy when it comes to taking photos and posting…

Influenster is really such a great resource and website. It's a resource in the sense that you can log on and look up reviews of pretty much every single product in the universe. The other side of Influenster is that you have the chance to win free stuff! VoxBoxes are Influenster's speciality which are curated…

God, this week sucked. Anxiety was on another level, one crisis after another, and I'm pretty sure I'm getting sick. The only thing getting me through is knowing Christmas is in a few days and the fact that I've watched 6 seasons of Californication in one week. (Seriously, Hank Moody is awesome) I also hav…

It's the week before Christmas and I still have a few gifts to get. This weekend it is on, though, I need to get it all done. There's nothing like a last minute shopping trip right before Christmas. Usually these gifts are for your friends or people you forgot about (not in a bad way) or for a hostess of a hol…

The packages coming to my house have been insane. Between my shopping addiction that has flared up again, products to review for the blog, subscription services, and Christmas gifts...it's gotten a little insane. Stay tuned in the upcoming weeks for lots of reviews on a variety of different things, it'll be go…

Good lord, the weekend I had. Santacon forever does me dirty. I think next year I may have to skip out on it. We never have a good run and this year may have just done it for me. It was fun for a bit, though. I mean, day drinking in the greatest city in the world, with your best friends and everyone is dressed as Sant…

I apologize for last week not having a Links to Love post up...it was a bad week. I know I'm really vague about my personal life on the blog and I don't know whether that bothers anyone or not. I don't know whether or not you guys want to know about my problems or if I really want to put my real life probl…

A few months back I told you all about how I was trying to save more money and I've been really great at it. I haven't gotten myself into a crazy amount of debt, been paying off my credit cards, and started paying my student loans. I've honestly been really proud of myself... That is until the biggest sho…

With the holidays come holiday bar crawls.... Or is that just me and all the people in NYC? A bar crawl to celebrate the most wonderful time of year seems weird but not to the thousands of Santas who every year, run through the streets of Manhattan, drunk and disorderly. Santacon is a beloved tradition in New York (an…

This is a sponsored post but all opinions are my own. I mentioned this in my November favorites but I've been addicted to candles lately. I got my family hooked on them too. There is hardly a moment in my house where a candle is NOT lit. Big, small, Christmas scented, or regular scented... it doesn't matter.…

I tackled the girl who has everything but now we're going to talk about a special type of lady...the one who really doesn't care for material things or doesn't have a particular taste. She doesn't wear much makeup (or has her tried and true favorites), doesn't wear much jewelry and just likes what…

Your mom is probably the most important person to buy the right gift for. She does so much all year round and never expects anything in return. She's the superhero, the knight in shining armor, and she deserves something beautiful, sparkly, and something that will light up her Christmas morning. I never have a pro…
