When I was in high school (and a few times at college) I knew tanning was bad for me but I continued to do it anyway. I would go into a tanning bed a few…

There has been so much going on in beauty the past few weeks and today is sure to be one of the best! Too Faced is officially releasing their Peanut Butter & Jelly Eyeshadow Palette and their new La Matte Color Drenched Lipsticks , all exclusively at Ulta. I say "officially" releasing their PB&J pale…

Another week has come to an end... and I have to say, this was a good week and it went by pretty fast. There's a lot happening in my life and it was around this time last year that I felt a huge rush from the universe. A rush that was telling me things were about to change and I feel that way right now. Maybe it&#…

I'm always on board for a good beauty trend; bold brows, contouring, strobing -- I love them all. One trend I really have fallen head over heels for is matte lips. I blame Kylie Jenner but Ms. Jenner really knew what was she doing. I love the look of matte lips -- they're so glamorous and really make you look …

I haven't read a typical fiction book in quite some time. I've been obsessed with career books, self help books, and memoirs. I don't remember the last time I read (not listened) to an actual book. Well my goodness, I'm so glad I rediscovered fiction because I completely fell in love with this novel. &…

I have lived in New York my entire life. Queens is just a hop, skip, and a jump away from Manhattan and honestly, I have not taken advantage of it as much as I should have. I have always adored Manhattan and the awe behind it's eyes. I am fascinated that people from all over the world come to Manhattan to visit an…

The last Brand Buzz I did got so many positive responses so I thought I'd change it up and do a post on one of my favorite high end brands. Too Faced has always been #1 for me and they just keep getting better and better. Their packaging is too cute for words, they have pretty unique products, and they're amaz…

It feels like I haven't written in forever because I wrote all my posts for the week on Sunday & Monday. I also haven't written a Links to Love post in two weeks. Last Thursday night I got home at 10 PM...from work. I had a work event which ended at 8 PM but the trains were super delayed and it took me 2 h…

I've never been keen on watches. I had the trendy Michael Kors one in high school, and I have a Kate Spade bangle watch that I never wear. The reason I hate them is because the ones I always saw were big and clunky, not practical for me. Now that I work full time and am always at my computer and the watches clink …

I know I said a few weeks back that I was originally going to do a favorite apps post but decided to just tell you all about my favorite app ever, Slice ? Well, I realized that I definitely do have some apps that I adore and they needed to be shared. I usually keep my apps to a minimum because the storage on my phone …

Can you tell I really like creating titles for my blog posts? Winter Woes? Come on, Bri. But hey, my blog, my creativity. I get a kick out of myself sometimes. Chapped, dry lips are my mortal enemy. I've always suffered from them and over the years, have tried to figure out what works. There have been some winners…

I had quite the day, and my week isn't fantastic. There is a lot floating around in my head and I just feel the need for some guidance, and some inspiration. I feel like something is missing, something I just can't put my finger on. Hopefully this feeling will pass but in the meanwhile, here's a little ins…

As I stated in last week's book review, I've been really into "self help, motivational" books lately and that includes career books. When Sophia Amoruso's book, #GirlBoss blew up last year, I knew I needed it. The book and it's tips were EVERYWHERE and I just wanted to find out what everyone …
