It feels like this month was super long and dragged out. A lot happened, a lot changed and I'm ready for the montht to be over! I'm ready because it was a weird one, a stressful one, and a hot one. I'm also ready because August is the Sunday of summer and I'm ready for September -- I'm ready for Fa…

If you didn't know, I have an obsession with astrology . More importantly, I have an obsession with Mercury Retrograde. I guess it all started a few years ago when I started to see articles about Mercury Retrograde and began to take notice of how I felt during it. Soon enough, I was a tell-all book about this astr…

Wow... we're on week 30 of the roundup and the year is pretty much halfway over. August is around the corner and then you know what that means... Fall is so, so soon. I've been thinking about my favorite season more and more the past week or so but I almost don't want it to come, so that it will last longe…

For the past year or so, I've been off my Lilly Pulitzer kick. I don't know why but I just wasn't feeling anything they were releasing. It also might have something to do with the fact that Fall & Winter don't scream Lilly to me. That all changed this past Spring when I was craving some color in my…

Well, I made it to a milestone I never thought I would. I completeled 1 year on Weight Watchers and I'm down 25 pounds. *I was down 28 but gained 3 pounds back within the past 2 weeks. It's very discouraging but I'm doing my best. When I started Weight Watchers last year I don't really know what I was …

I can count on two hands the number of times I've worn jeans in the past 2-3 years. I wear leggings every single day, no matter what I'm doing or where I'm going. I wrote about my leggings obsession back in October 2017 but wanted to do an updated post, mostly because my favorite and most worn leggings ar…

My love of Taylor Swift goes back to the early days -- Teardrops on My Guitar & Tim McGraw days. When she popped up on the country scene I was in the middle of my love of country music. I was constantly watching CMT and needing to know the next greatest country love song. Then, Taylor Swift came into my life and t…

Thursday night could not have come soon enough. It was a really hard, long week at work and just in life. I was incredibly stressed out and drained all week -- it was just really upsetting and difficult. I'm happy to be home and to have 3 days off, yet again. Tonight I'm going to the Taylor Swift concert in Ne…

Since I was a little girl I always loved face masks. I'd always beg my mom to let me get a Freeman mask from the drugstore and whenever she obliged, I was obsessed with doing them a few times a week. When I think about that, it's no surprise that I turned out to be a beauty blogger and work in the beauty indus…

As much as I love The Devil Wears Prada movie I never attempted to read the book. I guess part of the reason I didn't read it was because I didn't want it to ruin the movie. The Devil Wears Prada is so iconic and nothing can really compare; it's similar to me not reading 'The Notebook' after the mo…

July means one thing in my book and that's buying planners to use starting in August. This year, I had no qualms about what planner I was picking. It was time to go back to my roots. That's right, from the title of this blog you know what's coming. Lilly Pulitzer planners are back in my life. It's been…

It's the most wonderful time of the year where your favorite bloggers do 100 try on hauls. Yes, it's the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. I have been shopping the sale obsessively for the past three years, since opening my Nordstrom credit card. I don't think the sale is a must shop for certain things, and som…

The week after a holiday is always the hardest, and it's even harder when you launch a new foundation at work! YUP, Filter First Luminous Foundation by Laura Geller was released on Sunday and I've been nonstop working on it. It was stressful but really exciting -- we've never had a launch this big and the …

I love doing handbag reviews because they are my favorite accessory piece, but you already knew that. I think handbag reviews are very important because they're usually a big purchase and you should know what you're getting before spending money. I always am looking for handbag reviews and sometimes it's r…

For the past month or so I've been going to Trader Joe's at least once a week to pick up some Weight Watchers approved foods. After feeling very discouraged because I wasn't losing weight I did some research and discovered the world of Weight Watchers Instagrams. I don't know why I didn't think of …

On this fine summer Tuesday I think we could all use a little inspiration. The week after any holiday is a rough one so we can all use a pick me up. I love a good quote, as you all know, but I love a quote from an inspirational, incredible woman. That's what I have for you today... and I credit ProFlowers for the…
