I had a three day work week this week. Yes, three. Memorial Day & then my summer Fridays started today so I'm off from work every other Friday. It was a short, eventful, stressful week but nonetheless, it happened and its over. I am in another long, much needed weekend mode with a packed schedule of doctor'…

This is a sponsored post but all opinions are my own! If you're a long time reader of Royally Pink, you may remember last year I did a post on "breaking up with your makeup" and Rosacea & redness. Since writing that post in June 2014, I surely have had my fair share of skin issues. I haven't exp…

After not buying *too much stuff for the past few months, the moment I got my first big girl paycheck, I did some damage. I've since been doing damage and I need to stop. I have a post coming soon all about my shopping addicition because I am pretty sure it's a real problem I need help with. Maybe my mom has t…

I have been on a roll with books lately, mostly because I'm listening to them on the train using Audible and it's much quicker to listen than read. Nonetheless, I count audiobooks as reading. After finishing "The Girl on the Train" , I needed something equally as thrilling. I wanted something suspens…

I've had this post on my calendar for months and I'm pretty confused why it's taken me so long to post it. It's not a hard post to write--I've already taken the photos, what is with you Bri? I've been obsessed with the Too Faced Sugar Pop Eye Palette  since it was released online back in March…

Let's start off by saying HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY! The long weekend has been very relaxing but at the same time, boring. I always forget that these holiday weekends are a big deal and then I'm sitting in my room on a Sunday afternoon, looking at Snapchat and all my friends having a great time. FOMO is a real thing …

So this is super late but I actually have a lot of links to share so I thought I'd post anyway! This week was fun and exhausting. I've fallen asleep before 10 PM every single night and I'm super happy to be sitting on my couch on a Saturday afternoon, watching Sex & the City and hanging out. I forgot h…

Let's first start off with the fact that I have always been a huge book lover. I adore books and it took me a while to get into the swing of an e-reader. I missed (and still miss) the feel and idea of a physical book. I'm very odd when it comes to what I choose to read in an actual book form and what I choose …

I've been LOVING my Birchbox lately. Every month it's like a little gift delivered right to my doorstep and I just cannot get enough. I mean, I have enough make-up to last me 100 years but I changed my Birchbox profile to give me more skincare and hair-care, and that's what I've been getting! It's …

So, here I am, sitting in my room at 10:45 AM on May 17th, 2015. This time last year, I was at Madison Square Garden, getting ready to close one chapter of my life and allowing a newer, scarier chapter to begin. Yesterday, I had the pleasure of attending Iona's graduation of the Class of 2015 to see my little, my …

As I'm typing this, I'm watching the season finale of Scandal... how in God's name is it the end of the TV season? How is Memorial Day weekend next week? How is my little & all my younger sorority sisters graduating from college on Saturday? Why has it been a year since my college graduation and why ca…

My new salary is bringing out my shopacholic vibes... retail therapy is truly the best therapy there is. I've already started buying things I don't need and I have a running list of things I want. My first real splurge that I want to cross off my list? A new bag. I have always been a bag lady, as I'm sure …

I had on multiple to-do lists to blog for the week today aka Sunday but if I'm being honest, I spent the day in bed, crying and dealing with a 12-hour migraine. Why was I crying? I couldn't really tell you. Also, my wrist hurts very badly. I think I've talked about this briefly once but I have a real probl…

It was my first full week of work this week and I think it kicked my butt. I am exhausted and I was very scatterbrained this week. It's very unlike me to not feel like I have my shit together but boy oh boy was it one of those weeks. I satisfied that scatterbrainedness(my own word) by doing a little online shoppin…

It was back in September that I wrote a review on the first Brooklyn Girls novel . It was the perfect transition book for my post-grad life. It seems only appropriate that as I approach my one-year anniversary of graduating college, I write a review of the second novel, Love & Chaos. I bought this on my Nook e-rea…

April went very slow and very fast. A lot happened...and I mean A LOT! It was a very emotional month, for good and bad reasons. I went through a lot, one chapter of my life ended and I began a new, very real one. Because so much happened, it felt like it took an eternity to get through. Yet, at the same time, it felt …

I've always wanted to try a Butter London nail polish but I could never muster up the courage to buy a $15 nail polish. Much to my surprise, I received a Butter London nail polish in Pink Ribbon as a gift and I was overjoyed to finally try such a well known and loved brand. The shade Pink Ribbon is a very, very p…
