Today I celebrate 6 years of Royally Pink. This milestone is one I never thought I'd achieve because when I started this blog but one I am so excited to cross. I've always loved writing, it's always been my core hobby so to be able to create a place where I can write about whatever I want, whenever I want,…

Right now I'm dealing with a really bad bout of anxiety. I don't know what it is but I've had it for the past two days and I can't shake it. I've tried to busy myself with organizing, cleaning, and cooking. I binge watched Riverdale on Sunday (again), tried to check things off a to-do list and even…

We're a little late with the roundup this week but the good news is that it's a holiday weekend! I have been counting down the days to MDW for a few weeks now because I just needed a break... and an excuse to binge watch something. It's Sunday, it's raining, and I'm on my couch watching Southern Ch…

As the resident bag lady of the Internet, I’ve had many a dream bag. I am constantly looking and longing for something new to add to my collection but for years, I knew there was one bag I had to have. I thought about it daily and dreamed about it nightly. I watched countless Youtube unboxings, reviews, and “WIMB” fea…

In two short months, I’ll be one year into Weight Watchers and I’m still down around 25 pounds. When I started this journey I didn’t think I’d hit that number, but as I lost the weight and the weight stayed off, I wasn’t expecting to still be at that number. It’s been a struggle, to say the least, because I’ve been at…

At the end of the month, I'm going to be celebrating my 6 year blogging anniversary. That in itself is enough to send me over the edge -- I never thought I'd be blogging consistently for six years. It's quite the milestone in my opinion. Over the past six years, I've tried all different techniques to h…

It has been quite a while since I did a new Manicure Monday post but I've been in a nail polish mood. This week it's all about a pale pink color from a new OPI collection that has my chills multiplying. When I saw that OPI was releasing a Grease collection I knew I had to have something from it. Grease is my f…

What a weekend!! It started off very happy on Friday with my sister's college graduation. It was a really bittersweet day because I was so happy to be with my family but I was really sad that my dad wasn't there. Another milestone spent without him really got me worked up. However, it was a beautiful day and i…

I sit here, four years post-college to the day, and going through my old college graduation blog posts from 2014. Every May I do this; I get all my good, evergreen college posts ready to be scheduled on social media for a new crop of seniors to read and I get emotional. Just remembering how it felt to write those blog…

Ever since my junior year of college, I've been obsessed with career books and self-help books. I never thought there was anything to be embarrassed about when I was browsing the self-help section of Barnes and Noble -- there is something so wonderful about wanting to better yourself and your soul. I think career …

To date, one of my highest read posts on Royally Pink is ' Graduation Gifts for Your Big/Little' meaning the best graduation gifts for your sorority sister. Now, that post can really be for anyone but I wrote it at a time when everything was Greek life to me. I figured what better time than any to write a pos…

I'm dubbing this week graduation week because at least for my alma mater, and a few others around me it is the week of college graduation. My sister is graduating on Friday (weird that a college graduation is on a Friday but whatever) and I know she's been experiencing the emotions I did four years ago at this…

Friday is here again! I was exhausted this week and that is thanks to the pollen that is killing me slowly. My allergies have not been this bad in years but this week, whew, they threw me and everyone around me for a loop. Because of that, I fell asleep stupid early Tuesday & Wednesday night -- I'm talking 8:3…

I had been off my audiobook game for a bit because I was too cheap to buy one! My audible credits ran out and I wasn't dying to listen to anything. I always have podcasts or Sirius XM to listen to on my commute so I was ok. When I finally did have my Audible credits, I chose 'The Woman in the Window. ' I f…

I am not a good photographer, but don't tell anyone that since I'm a blogger and social media professional. In recent years, I've definitely gotten better at taking photos and I can edit a photo pretty well at this point. I always found that I was ok when it came to work photos but when it came time to tak…

I've never used Amazon more than I have been in the past year or so. They've been the E-Commerce giant for so long but I feel like they have really stepped their game up in the past few years. I was never one to purchase anything other than electronics or paper goods from them -- ordering beauty items and clot…
