Happy weekend! This post is up way later than usual because of a few things: a massive anxiety attack Thursday night, a little bit of laziness, and an intense allergic reaction to a banana. YUP. You heard that right. I have always been allergic to most fruits (the only fruits I can eat are strawberries and blueberries…

Today is 7 years since I created Royally Pink. It was the summer going in Junior Year of college and I was bored as hell at home. I was missing my sorority sisters, after an incredible year of fun and I needed to do something to pass the time. My mom, sister and I were living with my aunt and I remember stumbling acro…

I can't believe June is this weekend and we're nearing the halfway mark of the year. We're closer to Fall 2019 than 2018 and that is just wild to me. The year is flying by but this past month has been one of the longest of my life. I'm primarily working from home, after some tough career changes this m…

Happy Memorial Day Weekend everyone! I am very overwhelmed by the number of sales and I really want to buy everything. I already purchased a pair of Jack Rogers from their 30% off sale, scored a bkr bottle (or two) from the warehouse sale, and I'm gearing up for more shopping. On the flip side, I have a really p…

I've wanted to write this post for a very long time but the moment never felt right. I started this blog in 2012 when I was going into my junior year of college. At that point, I had been in my sorority for almost a year and had big dreams of what I was going to accomplish in the sisterhood. Ask anyone who knew me…

I received an advanced copy of "Red, White, and Royal Blue" from NetGalley but all opinions are my own. When I saw " Red, White, and Royal Blue " available for request from NetGalley, I was intrigued but it wasn't until I saw the book pop up on several 'Must Read for the Summer' lists t…

I never liked summer clothes. I was too heavy for them, looked frumpy and I really just didn't feel comfortable. After losing 20+ pounds (give or take a few) summer clothes have become a lot easier. I didn't realize it until last summer but I wasn't as hot or uncomfortable anymore... and my mom reminded me…

I have been on my beauty A-game lately. For the past month or so I simply cannot get enough of all things beauty and my Sephora app has been getting a lot of exercise being constantly opened and closed. I've been testing a lot of new products and rediscovering some old ones so I figured I would jump on here and do…

Oh boy, what a week! It started off really bad, I found myself feeling really depressed and down, due to so many things going on. The weather didn't help as it was raining cats and dogs for the majority of the week. Then, halfway through, Alabama lawmakers decided it was a good idea to strip women of their right t…

It's just past midnight on a Thursday night and I finished my latest read... "The Editor". I requested to read this book before it was published from Net Galley and it took me months to read it. I'm not sure why and I wish I would've read it sooner. When I downloaded it onto my Kindle app I had a…

For the past few years, I've been on a huge wellness kick and I owe that to the wellness surge in society. I want to know everything that is going to make me feel better, look better, and be better. Whether that's helping my anxiety, improving my skin, or just giving me a better overall feeling of health and w…

Last year I experimented with a press-on nail and I loved them, so when I saw KISS come out with press on GEL nails , I knew I had to try them. One of my favorite vloggers, Toni Sevdalis , said she loved this brand of nails so when I saw them in Target a few weeks ago I jumped at them. After being a little tired of my…

Could you believe we're at week 20 of 2019? I can't believe it's almost summer... and we're closer to Fall 2019 than we are to Fall 2018! Time really moves so incredibly fast and it's starting to scare me. As I've mentioned before, I am excited for the summer to begin and we got a small taste o…

If you follow me on social media you would know that I love reality television. From the Kardashians to The Housewives, I love it all. I especially love Vanderpump Rules, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills spinoff that follows the staff of SUR, even though we know that they don't really work at SUR anymore. Sinc…

CBD is everywhere right now, including here on Royally Pink. I blogged about my favorite CBD beauty products a few weeks ago but now I'm ready to discuss how I use it for my mental health. When I first heard about CBD I was pretty pumped about it. I've been using Nerve Tonic to relax for years but something …

Last month I started a new series that made me a little vulnerable and was something I never really talked about on my blog and that was dating. If you missed the first installment, go read it now so you can set the scene for this post. I left off the last post talking about how nerve-wracking the first date was but …

Another week has come and gone and I'm not really sure what is happening in my life. I'm at a crossroads and I will be able to tell you about it soon, I hope. Until then, it is business as usual here at Royally Pink HQ and I'm excited for my 7 year anniversary coming up at the end of the month. I cannot be…

I received " Passion on Park Avenue " courtesy of Net Galley and it'll be released on May 28th.  "Passion on Park Avenue" captured my attention because it takes place in New York, is a modern love story mixed with a touch of revenge, and the cover is pretty stunning. I read this book in maybe a…
