This was a weird, long week! As I've mentioned previously, lots of changes are happening and I will be ready to announce it in a few days/a week or so. That being said, it's been a sort of easy week -- not too much stress, and I feel very light. I've been doing a lot, planning a lot and just overall in a g…

March has always been my least favorite month and that was further proven three years ago when my dad passed away on March 3rd. Now, I really hate March but for some reason, this was a decent one. There were a lot of changes that happened and I did some soul searching and now I'm coming out on the other side. It&#…

Whenever there is a hyped up ingredient in the beauty industry, I get very curious about it. Whether it's hyaluronic acid or environmental protectors, once something becomes popular you will notice it more and more. Sometimes when a trend is popular in one category, beauty will pick it up and make it their own. Th…

Essie is killing the nail polish releases lately and my local Rite Aid is on top of the game. I think I've officially transitioned out of my winter nail colors and fully into spring mode. I want all the pinks, especially. That's why when I stumbled across the stunning new shade called " Babes in the Booth…

Happy Friday! Boy, what a week this was! There are a lot of changes happening in my life, all of which are exciting and those changes really manifested themselves this week. I will tell you more in the coming days but I'm excited! It's been an exciting week really; last Saturday I went to my childhood friend&#…

Sleeping is not something I ever really struggled with but as I've gotten older and my anxiety has gotten worse, my sleeping patterns haven't been that great. It takes me forever to fall asleep and then I'm up at all hours of the night and exhausted the next day. I've been very into wellness lately and…

This is the first Weight Watchers Wednesday of 2019 and it's already the end of March! I decided that I wasn't going to make this a monthly series anymore because truthfully, there isn't that much to update on. I have been yoyoing with my weight and I'm not proud of it. I decided that I was going to j…

This is the store of a love affair a girl has had with a pair of shoes, get ready. One of the first blog posts I ever wrote on Royally Pink was about Sex and the City and Carrie Bradshaw. From that moment on, I've written countless times about my love for New York's favorite fashionista and today, in 2019, my …

It is Friday yet again and I am thrilled. It was quite a week but it's going to be a really fun weekend. I'm off from work today, running around and doing errands and then tomorrow is my childhood friend's engagement party! I can't wait to celebrate her and her fiance and have an excuse to get dressed …

I've talked about my love of true crime in the past, mostly through my book reviews. I would say about 75% of the books I've read in the past four years have been a mystery/domestic thriller. I can directly link that to my obsession with true crime. I'm truly addicted to true crime whether it's binging…

Concealer is my favorite beauty product of all time. It has to do with the fact that I have hereditary dark circles and I'm a little self-conscious about them. I like a full coverage concealer that is easy to blend and one that I can layer if I need to. I don't understand the appeal of a light coverage conceal…

I have my first engagement party on Saturday for one of my oldest and dearest friends. I'm so excited to celebrate her and her fianc é! It's at a local rooftop restaurant, one that I surprisingly never have been to.  Because I've never been to an engagement party, I wasn't sure what to wear. I also wa…

I've been on a roll with buying new polishes and I'm so happy to have the first polish of the Spring 2019 collection on my nails this week. When I saw the colors for Spring 2019, I was taken with them all but mostly the bronze shade " Teacup Half Full ". I also love the name but when don't I love…

This week felt very short which I am eternally grateful for! I need to get into the habit of not waiting for the weekend... I need to enjoy every day and that was something that hit me this week. I spend every single day waiting for Friday at 5 PM and life just shouldn't be like that because my life doesn't ju…

Last Fall I was able to attend an NYFW event with Kate Spade. It was basically a dream and a true highlight of my year. The event was with the CEO and new Creative Director; Nicola Glass took over for Deborah Llyod last year and this Spring collection was the first for Nicola. I got a preview of it at the event so whe…

Well, I told you that I was going to pick up more of the Serene Slates collection from Essie and I did just that. About two weeks ago I bought the next shade I wanted to try called "Generation Zen". It is described as a 'mauve taupe grey' which I think is very true to what this color looks like. It…

The Jonas Brothers are BACK. It's been a really weird week but the one bright side was news that my favorite brand ever was coming back together. They released their new song 'Sucker' this morning and it's SO GOOD. I definitely feel like it's old school JB but with a modern twist. Ugh, I'm so s…
