This was not a good week for the blog. I just needed a break because there was so much going on; we'll see how next week goes. It's the 4th of July and I'm not sure of my plans yet but hopefully, I'll be doing something fun. While the week was really busy, I did find time for myself and went to the bea…

Mascara has always been part of my beauty routine and aside from eyeliner and lipgloss, was probably the first beauty product I ever tried. I've definitely gone through phases with it, where I really enjoyed mascara and when I didn't even bother with it but nowadays, I never leave the house without it. Sometim…

I've highlighted my shopping problem here on the blog quite a bit but I don't know if you realize how deep it runs. I like my 'stuff' so much and whenever I find something adorable that I can't get out of my head, I have to have it... even if it is something completely useless. I've always been…

TGIF! Even though it's Friday I have some things to take care of today so everything is over and I'll be eating a lobster roll in Long Island with my boyfriend, I'll be as happy as a clam! This was a really long week with so much happening! I don't even remember what I did on Monday -- it feels like ag…

It is time for another installment of the first time dating series! This month we're tackling the ever confusing and frustrating topic of communication. I remember when I first realized that men and women are inherently different. It was 2015, I was listening to Bethenny Frankel's book "I Suck At Relation…

When I saw that Andrea Dunlop was coming out with another book, I immediately went to NetGalley to see if I could get an advanced copy. Well, I was in luck and scored one! "We Came Here to Forget" will be released on July 2nd and is a follow up to Dunlop's first novel "She Regrets Nothing " whi…

I mentioned a while ago that I was really excited for the hair accessory trend to make a comeback in a huge way. I also mentioned in that post that I was lusting after Lele Sadoughi headbands . All the influencers and fashion editors were wearing them, they were all over my Instagram feed and gave off a very specific …

I've always been a sucker for the finer things in life and when it comes to beauty, luxury and higher end have always been my favorite. When I was first getting into the beauty space, I coveted everything I purchased from Sephora and when I shopped there, I was truly the happiest. I had drugstore makeup that I lik…

Wow... I cannot believe we are 25 weeks into 2019 and basically 6 months away from the end of the year. Time is FLYING and 2019 is not turning out how I expected it to. When I think about that, I get really sad and it almost depresses me. If you haven't caught on, clearly I'm going through some stuff and almos…

It's time for another little loves post! It's been an interesting few months with a lot of career changes, a lot of personal changes and just exciting and life changing things. I know I keep making vague statements but just know that things are good and down the line, I'll be able to share. I've been d…

Two months ago, my best friend since I was 5 years old got engaged and it was an amazing proposal, an amazing day and I'm just so incredibly excited. Before that, three of my other longtime friends got engaged so I have a ton of weddings coming up in the next two years. You may not know this about me but I am supe…

It's really fun to talk about and buy beauty products; whether it's concealer, lipstick, or eyeshadow, I love trying new things; I love reading about people trying new products and I love watching videos about it. While that is all fun and games, there is a sector of the beauty industry that isn't talked a…

This was a really long week and I'm very happy for the weekend! I will be spending most of it listening to the Jonas Brothers new album, "Happiness Begins". I'm not sure if I ever mentioned it but I am a huge Jonas Brothers fan. I was overly obsessed with them rom 2007-2009... it was a dark two years…

*As I finished this blog and went to look for a link, I found that the book has two different names for the US and UK markets. In the US it is called "The Woman Next Door" and in the UK it's "All Her Secrets". I read the UK verison and from what I can tell, just the titles are different. The bo…

I go through shoes like I drink water. I have always been very rough on my shoes, a very hard walker and really every pair of shoes I own fall apart within a season or two. Because of this, I've learned to invest in good, quality shoes that aren't overly expensive because I will probably destroy them at some p…

I was shopping in Target a few weeks ago and came across the most gorgeous nail polish. The color "Strike a Rose" was for lack of a better word... striking. It's the most stunning neon pink color that screams summer. and would look insane against tanned skin. It was on the "new' display so I ass…
