In the world of Weight Watchers, I haven't felt super deprived of anything, except maybe bagels and pastries, which I do not eat that often. I can have a slice of pizza, I can have pasta, it's all well and good. However, when I saw this recipe floating around the Internet a few weeks ago I immediately jumped a…

If January was a slow month, February was insanely fast. It just feels like it was Valentine's Day and now we're so close to Spring. I'm not ready to say goodbye to my beloved winter, but once I start seeing sandals, bright colors, and all things floral, I get a little excited. I feel like I'm betrayin…

I've said it multiple times before but I love a good concealer, and really anything related to the undereye area. I feel like they're the products that I see the most difference when I use them, and because I have such harsh undereye circles, it's my problem area so I like to tend to that the most. I'v…

This was a short week and I'm so happy that it's Friday! I have so many fun, blog/writing/side hustle related things I want to do this weekend and possibly see some friends/do something fun. I know this next week is going to be hard; next Saturday is the 2 year anniversary of my dad's death and I can alrea…

When I found out the author of " Luckiest Girl Alive " was coming out with a second book, I was so excited! Then, when I found the book on NetGalley and was able to read it early, I was even more hyped; I think I actually yelped when I was approved to read " The Favorite Sister". *I could've SW…

I am well aware that it is not Christmas or any other gift-giving holiday, but I had this idea and I just wanted to share. There are always birthdays and other gift giving occasions year round, so why not write this? I've always been a bookworm, ever since I was a little girl. I hit peak readership when I was a te…

Aside from the press on nails, I've been really into wearing different, unique color nail polishes lately. When I first saw the Winter 2017 collection from Essie , I wasn't really interested in any of the colors. That is until I took a closer look at them and saw them on real nails, on the Essie Instagram. Tha…

We got through Valentine's Day with flying colors! I am so pleased that I don't have to worry about February 14th for another year! If you didn't read my Valentine's Day blog post, I recommend reading it now. It gives you a bit of an inside look at my dating world, something that I've always been h…

I mean, Happy Valentine's Day to all those ladies in relationships too! However, I feel like my bitter single girls need some extra love today. Yes, we had Galentine's Day yesterday but today is the real day, the one everyone cares about. I've been single on all but two Valentine's Day and those don…

With Valentine's Day tomorrow, I thought today was a good time to talk about the love I have had, and currently have for Tiffany & Co. Is there a girl who doesn't love the little blue box? My love affair with Tiffanys began at a very young age. I went through a stage probably starting at 10 years old where…

A few weeks ago I had an urge for really long nails. When I was young, I was allowed to get french tips for special occasions like my confirmation, graduations, and proms. While I loved how they looked, I was bored of them after a week because they were too hard to navigate life with. It's been a hot minute since …

This is a date late but with good reason. Work completely kicked my ass this week and I had a mental breakdown on Thursday morning, while at work. YUP. I cried at my desk and almost had a panic attack. It was really bad and has only ever happened once or twice before. I was completely swamped and overwhelmed. I have n…

One of my greatest joys in life is a steaming hot cup of coffee or tea. I remember my first cup of coffee; I was a sophomore in high school and my friends & I always got to school really early. We would go downstairs to the cafteria for breakfast and eat, do homework, and chat. I was curious about the coffee they …

For the past year, I have been living by a term that makes everything in my life seem peaceful and perfect. That term is hygge which is the Danish term for cozy living . It splashed onto the scene at the end of 2016 and has since made an impact on the wellness and lifestyle industries here in the US. Hygge is such a m…

I am not a fan of Valentine's Day. I hate it with a burning passion and maybe it's my eternal singledom that makes me so bitter but I don't really care. I hardly even acknowledge the holiday anymore -- the only time I ever remotely acknowledged it was my senior year of college and the year after, but let&#…

The first favorites of the year always seem special to me. I love the clean slate that January brings and I think this January I realized a lot about myself. Whether those changes I realized I needed to make were actually made or not, I think making the steps is important. One of the best things to happen in January; …

Happy Friday! I stayed home from work today because I've been feeling under the weather. I had a fever last weekend and I just felt off since. I know the flu is going strong this season so I'm trying to prevent that from happening. Because of that, I had an unusual obsession with orange juice this week. Everyo…
