Thank GOD!!!! Oh I am so happy August is over! I think February-April & July-August are my least favorite months. August is hot and sweaty and humid. It's the Friday of summer, yes, but I am very happy to welcome September with open arms! August was an odd month. I still feel like I should be sitting in a clas…

Sunday afternoon I decided to get out of the house and head to the mall. I haven't been in a while and I knew I wanted a few things that I didn't want nor could I order online. I never go to the mall a lot because it's a good half hour away, and I always feel like it has to take up an entire day. When I wa…

Let me start off by saying that I love Birchbox for so many reasons. The monthly box of surprises, the perks of being an Ace, the points system, and the endless possibilities that the Birchbox shop holds. There is really nothing bad about Birchbox in my opinion. I am however, getting quite overwhelmed by all the produ…

This week was extremely long. I don't think I've had this long of a week in a few months, at least. I don't know if it was the fact that I was away all weekend, or if work is just super busy, but I've felt like every day was 100 hours long. I realize I only posted twice this week, basically because Wed…

I apologize if this post is a little all over the place ... I'm pretty tired and can't form coherent thoughts but I've been wanting to get this post up for a while so I figured there's no better time than the present! I'm also trying out a different format for writing review & round up posts --…

I never travel. I can count the states I've been too on 2 hands, and still have some fingers left over. I've talked before how I want to be that spontaneous, adventurous, twenty something traveler. It goes back to me stepping outside my comfort zone, saying yes to things, and having an idea in my head of the t…

When was the last time I wrote one of these posts? Now that I work on Fridays (or have summer Fridays and pass out at 9pm on a Thursday night), I forget to write them. I've been forgetting a lot of things lately--is that a sign of old age? Do I just have too many things going on? I have forgotten so much stuff in …

I love a good career book... I always have. Ever since junior year of college, I've been fascinated with career books and articles , and learning as much as possible about "the real world" and how I should navigate these unknown waters. Now that I think about it, I always loved reading about the next sta…

Being the beauty junkie I am, I know the importance of skincare. The most expensive foundation will look horrible if your skin isn't properly prepped. I've always been content just washing my face... and even when I started to get into beauty, I was very lazy with my skincare routine. I only stuck to moisturiz…

Since starting work full time back in April, my lounge days are limited to the weekends. That means, my Pinterest time is few and far inbetween. I hadn't made a food concoction in quite a while, but a month ago, during the 4th of July weekend I basically had a 4 day weekend and a little bit of time on my hands. Wi…

I've felt very down lately.. well, just the past few days. I struggle with "being happy" and being positive, though I know that life isn't all about being happy and having a great time-- that's not how it works. I've fallen into a funk, and I hate feeling this way. It's just not me! I put…
