I've been really good at not buying makeup recently. I feel like I'm finally passed that point in my life when I need to buy something from Sephora every single day. I've been buying different items (LOL) so my shopping has decreased but has also been placed elsewhere. Even though I'm not shopping AS M…

I wrote a similar post a few years ago and it is still one of my most popular posts yet. I figured it was a little outdated as I've sold a lot of those tote bags or don't use them too much anymore. I know I've updated you all on many of my bag purchases recently but I want to talk more about how they'…

Whenever there is a three day weekend at work somehow it always makes the week feel longer. I thought we'd never get to Friday but here we are! I have a nice weekend planned and I'm really looking forward to some family time. This week was unusually warm for February in New York and we got a little taste of Sp…

Nighttime and getting ready for bed is one of my favorite times of the day. I am very into relaxing, as if you couldn't already tell, so I'm very into calming down before getting snuggly in my bed. I've been wanting to do a nighttime routine post since I started my blog almost 5 YEARS AGO but I just never …

Whenever a trend or a new company comes on the scene, the blogosphere is buzzing. The blog and this entire world is how I've discovered a lot of my favorite companies and products, but isn't that the point right now? Social media, bloggers, and influencers are how we find out about everything now and it's …

It's time for the 2nd part of my new obsession, the Essie Gel Couture Ballet Nudes collection! If you missed last week, head there now to check out what all the fuss is about.  I've loved the Gel Couture line since it was released but this new Ballet Nudes collection is speaking to me on another level. After I…

We're halfway through February and I can't even believe it. I don't want March-August to come, but I do because it means I'm one step closer to Fall! I really don't think anyone understands how much I hate the spring & summer, but whatever, I'll stop talking about it! This week was tough fo…

Podcasts have been around for a while but they always seemed like something nerdy or not mainstream. Podcasts had this weird image of being done in your parents' basement and 2 people listened. I think I've taken noticed of within the past year that podcasts have truly blown up and are taking over the world. E…

I've explained countless times on here how I suffer from anxiety. It's something that started my senior year of high school, got worse freshmen year of college and then I finally realized what it was my junior year. Dawning on the fact that "oh, I have anxiety, that's what this feeling is" really…

Some time last year, Essie released their first gel nail polish. I'm pretty sure I did a post on it but cannot find it anywhere! Just know that I was a big fan; I only had 2 colors in this Gel Couture line but mostly because I didn't feel drawn to any of the other colors in the line. It took them a while to ex…

It was a relatively uneventful week filled with only 2 full days of work: Tuesday I went to a conference and yesterday was of course, a work from home snow day! My weekend is said to be lowkey as well, with seeing my friends tomorrow night. I've still been struggling with my exhaustion and even as I write this, I&…

I'm working from home today because we are experiencing a huge blizzard in New York. It's also the start of Fashion Week and I feel for all the ladies experiencing this blizzard first hand. I don't think I was expecting the storm to be this bad because usually the weather people are ALWAYS wrong when it co…

It seems that Current Obsession is becoming my new favorite series these days and with good reason. I've been discovering so many amazing things that I need to share with you all! This week it's all about leggings. I'm pretty sure I adopted leggings as pants before it was mainstream. Going against all my m…

I had a post about the best nighttime moisturizers planned today, and was halfway through writing it when I realized I just did a post on it back in January. Blogger brain times 100! We haven't had an inspiration Tuesday in a while and with good reason -- I've been feelign pretty good mentally & emotionall…

Powered by Brandbacker I have trouble with shoes.  No matter which shoes I wear, I'm in constant pain (expect if I'm in Uggs) and no matter what shoes I wear, they get destroyed. I have to buy new shoes once every season because the ones from previous year are ruined. It could be because I'm very hard on m…

This Weekly Wrap Up is rather late but hey, better late than never! It's Saturday Night, I just finished some organic gluten free mac & cheese, and I'm watching Harry Potter on Freeform. That's my type of night! I'm actually not as hermit crab like as you think because last night I had an amazing d…

I've talked a lot about haircare on the blog... I've also talked a lot about my love of Drybar. Those two things combined is a match made in heaven for me. Drybar cannot release enough products to satisfy my love & want for them, so when I saw that they were releasing a new shampoo a few weeks ago, I jumpe…

We're seeing athleisure everywhere now and it's not just at the gym. It's a trend now but I've always loved athleisure wear. Give me a pair of yoga pants & a decent t-shirt and I'm all set! I've never been one to be really into my fitness. I've been excerising pretty regularly since I w…
