Royal Round Up: Week 35 + Labor Day Sales

It's 8:15 PM on Thursday night and I'm watching Ronnie and baby mama Jenn fight on television. Ah, how we have grown from the Karma days. It's that time of the month and I feel like the wind has been knocked out of me. I feel like my legs are numb -- do any of you other ladies ever get that way? I just wan…

Weight Watchers Wednesday: Vol 5

This was not an easy month for Weight Watchers. I didn't meal prep/go to Trader Joe's as much, I traveled two weeks in a row and kind of went to hell with myself. A few weeks ago I gained 4 pounds -- the most I've ever gained back since starting Weight Watchers over a year ago. In retrospect that isn't…

Monthly Muse: August 2018 Favorites

The time has come! August is FINALLY over and I am so thrilled about this. Summer is done and we are onto fall. August has always been one of my favorite months because it always meant the same thing: fall is on its way, my favorite time of year is just around the corner and August always meant back to school! To me, …

Manicure Monday: Haute In Heat + Hot Pink Nails

I mentioned a few weeks ago that I have been obsessed with all things pink and that is including my nails. I am definitely in the midst of transitioning my entire life to the Fall season but I'm not yet ready to stop wearing bright nail colors. What inspired this post is one of my favorite Essie colors, Haute in …

Royal Roundup: Week 34

Boy, what a week! I got home from QVC Wednesday morning and was truly so exhausted. I left work early and then it was a jam-packed Thursday, but now I am just beat. I didn't feel so hot while I was working 48 hours straight and felt super sick so I'm excited that I have today off to relax and catch up on rest.…

Current Lilly Pulitzer Favorites | August 2018

I mentioned it a few weeks ago that I was in the midst of a full blown Lilly Pulitzer obsession. I even wrote a blog post about my favorite new arrivals.  My love for the colorful brand was reignited by the purchase of my planner and my Swell Bottle. Ever since I have purchased so many preloved Lilly items, bought a n…

Blogging Tips | Affiliate Links + Networks

One of the most commonly asked questions that the public wants to know about bloggers is how do they make money? I can only speak from experience but I make money through sponsored campaigns and affiliate links/networks. I feel like sponsored campaigns are a little more straightforward than affiliate links, which is w…

Royal Round Up: Week 33

This is a few days late, mostly because I haven't had a moment of downtime since Friday afternoon. I was planning on getting some stuff done on Friday night but then was hit with the worst ovulation pains. Has anyone ever experienced that? About two weeks before your period, you start ovulating and the pain feels …

4 Weird Facts About Me | Vol 1

I never considered myself odd, strange, or weird. I always felt like I was pretty normal and I was fine with it. However, as I got older and met new people from different walks of life, I realized that maybe I wasn't so normal. My college friends, specifically, always like to tell me I'm odd and a little stran…

Wishlist Wednesday: Kate Spade Fall 2018 New Arrivals

For the past few months I have been unimpressed with Kate Spade's new collections. If you didn't know, Kate Spade releases a new collection every month and because I pay attention so closely to the brand, I could pinpoint the exact day when the new arrivals will come up on the website.  I never said I was norm…

Fashion Files: Handbag Collection Video | 2018

If you didn't know, I have a Youtube channel and I've been posting (consistently????) for the past year. Over there, I talk more about handbags than anything else and the peeps who subscribe have been asking for a handbag collection video. So last weekend, without any makeup on, because I was lazy, I filmed a …

Royal Round Up: Week 32

This was an odd week because I only worked 2 days. I called in sick on Monday, was off on Wednesday for a doctor's appointment, and then had a Summer Friday today. It's going to be an interesting two weeks because I go to Florida on Monday until Tuesday afternoon for work and then it's back in the office. …

Beauty 101: My Current Everyday Makeup Routine

New York has been experiencing a heat wave the past 2-3 weeks and it's starting to get on my nerves. I was good at first; I felt like the summer and warm weather was refreshing. I wasn't hot too often and didn't feel the need to complain or stress about the heat -- it was a really nice change of pace for m…

Book Review Wednesday: The Subway Girls

I am writing this while watching Bachelor in Paradise so excuse me if it seems a little strange. I am really pumped up for this season... That's a different post for a different day. Today I want to talk about the latest book I just finished reading, "The Subway Girls" . This was a novel I got to read be…

My Pink Must Haves

If you weren't aware, my favorite color is pink. I mean, I named my blog after it. Ever since I could remember I felt so drawn to the color pink. I don't think it's because it's a classic 'girl color', I think it's because it's so beautiful and there are so many different verisons of it…

Brand Buzz: My Favorite Kylie Cosmetics Products

I've talked many times how much I love Kylie Lip Kits and I wrote a blog post 2 years ago about my favorite colors in the lip kits. They are my favorite liquid lipsticks and the only ones I wear; I swear by the formula because they are super long lasting but I don't really think they are drying. I have tried …

Royal Round Up: Week 31

This was a long one, folks! It was stressful, hectic and just insane -- I'm happy it's over. I know this weekend is going to fly by though and I will feel just as crazed on Monday morning. However, I will do my best to be present and not get ahead of myself. It's one of my biggest problems, really. This we…

Book Review Wednesday: I'll Be Gone in the Dark

About 2 years ago I saw the news that actor, Patton Oswalt's wife, Michelle McNamara, died in her sleep. I only knew Oswalt from a few roles but it was still sad that he had lost his wife. I remember reading that she was working on a true crime novel and it would probably be released postumously. Fast forward to e…
