March was very long. I know everyone always starts their favorite posts (myself included) saying that the month flew by but I think it went very slow. It feels like St. Patrick's Day was 100 years ago. Honestly, I'm glad that the month went slow. I needed a breather, I needed some time. I hate feeling like tim…

Oh another Manicure Monday so soon? Yup, #sorrynotsorry. With spring in full bloom (not really because it's currently Saturday and it snowed this morning in NYC), comes new spring nail polish colors. When I was looking through my spring collection, I noticed A LOT of my polishes were getting old. It's probably…

It's been a while since I finished a book. Sometimes I just get caught up in life and blogging and the Internet and forget that one of my favorite things to do is to read. It's the perfect way for me to get lost in something else, in another world. It clears my mind and puts everything into perspective, no mat…

Another recipe Wednesday because I have an addiction to Pinterest recipes...especially breakfast ones. I've seen a lot of variations of this particular recipe but the one I followed was easiest and virtually took no time. I made this last Tuesday because I needed to kill some time and on Sunday because I was in th…

This post is sponsored by InstaNatural and Brandbacker. All opinions and thoughts are my own. A few months ago, I received some products from InstaNatural and have been testing them out since then. I have a lot of hair and skincare products so I'm always alternating between them, hence the reason this review is s…

I've never been a lover of white nail polish... in reality, I love the way it looks but I always forget about it because it's so plain. I never buy white nail polish because there's so many other colors that catch my eye. I've seen a lot of Instagram photos of white polish and Youtube gurus were raving…

This is a sponsored post in partnership with Garnier and Her Campus Media. All words and opinions are my own! March Madness is upon us and coming from a school that lives and breathes basketball, I'm programmed to like March Madness. Iona doesn't have a football team so basketball is our main focus. While I wa…

It's that time of the month again! This month for Birchbox , I didn't choose the curated box nor did I pick any sample products. It was a total surprise and I'm always super anxious to see what I get when I know everything is a complete surprise. All of the sample choices were hair products and I had a fee…

Last year I hosted an awesome giveaway with a great company called Decor 2 Ur Door. The website is filled with lots of beautiful accessories, all that can be customized with your monogram, which is basically the best part of anything. The shop is filled with gorgeous, feminine bedding, and you can even design your own…

I have never been a fan on my dull brown hair. I have dull brown eyes to match so it makes it even more unexciting. I've put light brown highlights in my hair, blonde highlights, and even dyed my hair black two years ago. I've never cut my hair a drastic length so really the only drastic thing I've ever do…

I'll admit that I've been having trouble with my hair lately. The winter always brings out the worst because I have very dry skin and that translates to a very dry scalp. I usually use a dry scalp formula and it's always worked well for me but I think now, it's making my hair oily. I have never suffere…
