EDIT *When I first published this Thursday morning, I had no idea I wrote '2018' so that's where my head is at I keep seeing memes on Instagram saying "It feels like January 74th" and boy, does it ever! I don't think I ever noticed how long January actually is but it feels like New Year's…

There are very few times in my life when I have not finished a book. Like many others, I feel guilty for not finishing a book once I start it. If I spend money on a book, I want to finish it and get my money's worth, even if I didn't like it. I also feel guilty because I feel like I'm judging the book by n…

I've always been an organized person and you would know that if you've been a reader of Royally Pink for a while. I've highlighted my obsession with planners in the Royally Planned series and have also spoken about how I'm trying to experiment with digital planning. As much as I love technology, I have…

TGIF! This seemed like the longest, shortest week ever and I'm happy it's over. It was a wild week at work because we're moving offices so it was a lot of trying to get work done mixed with a ton of packing and cleaning. This weekend I have so many plans and I'm so excited! Tonight it's a wine date…

Beauty trends come and go every year or so; from glossy lips to makeup as skincare to beaming highlight to ombre hair... we've seen pretty much everything. Sometimes the trends lean more toward ingredients like hyaluronic acid or cannabis -- at some point in time, everyone hopes on an ingredient train. Now, there …

I don't remember where I first heard about the book series, " The Thousandth Floor " but I know it intrigued me from the start. This is the debut novel from Katharine McGee and I am fascinated by her mind. The series takes place in Manhattan, in the year 2118... however, Manhattan is not the Manhattan we…

In 2018, I kind of lost my love of beauty buying. There are so many products being released on a daily basis, some are overhyped, some are items we've seen so many times before -- truthfully, it got a little overwhelming. I was overwhelmed by everything in my collection and needed a break. However, that doesn'…

For the past year or so, I've been using a Louis Vuitton MM Agenda as my planner and I don't really know how I used anything else. I love the chic style that comes with carrying Vuitton but also love the personalization and freedom I have to create my perfect planner. I've tried so many inserts over the p…

Boy, what a week it was! It was so stressful and exhausting, I'm happy it's over! My mom had a little health scare last Friday and she went into the hospital for surgery on Wednesday but everything turned out totally fine and it was a false alarm. I took off of work on Wednesday to take her, then off again on …

For a much-needed break in true crime/suspense novels, I decided to pick up a book I've heard tons about and was much more light-hearted than any other book I've read lately. I also follow the first time author on Twitter and was so happy to see someone so young publish their first book. "Playing With Mat…

Nail polish has been a staple for me for years. I think it all goes back to the fact that in elementary school, I wasn't allowed to wear nail polish and felt restricted for so many years. I love changing up my color and matching my nails to my outfit, season, or holiday. My nails are never not painted and if they …

Happy Friday! We got through the first full week of January with flying colors... well, I hope. I'm working from home today and very happy about that. Work from home days are my favorite because I get so much work done and not commuting is fabulous. I have a fun weekend planned -- I'm heading into the city wit…

The last few months of 2018 I went on a little bit of a shopping spree. I felt like I was making up for lost time because I am going to try my best to save and not spend this 2019. I made a little mistake and purchased this Kate Spade sweater last week but that was it! I'm going to be good... I have to. I purchase…

Refinery29 has had a series for a number of years called "Money Diaries". It follows the spending of women from all over the world over seven days. You are given information like their occupation, salary, rent, and any other monthly/yearly expenses and then you read about their spending habits. Money Diaries…

It seems that I am never happy with my planner choices and I can never seem to find "planner peace". I get bored easily and like to switch things up frequently. This year, I thought that would be different because I really fell in love with my Lilly Pulitzer agenda again. That all changed when I stumbled acr…

If you have been following my blog for a while, you know that I suffer from incredibly dry skin. This winter though, it's been really bad, probably the worse it has ever been. I'm constantly itching and my skin is bleeding from me itching and just the dry skin patches in general. I don't remember my skin e…
