I cannot believe September is over! The month went by so fast, faster than usual I think, probably due to the fact that my long bout of unemployment finally came to an end and I made my way back into corporate America. It's been a truly exciting, life-changing month and I'm excited for all that is to come in t…

Happy Saturday! I feel as if Saturday is the new round up day because when I get home from work on Friday, I get right into my bed and don't want to touch my computer/use my brain. On the first weekend of Fall, it's going to be over 80 degrees and the beaches in New York are OPEN for swimming with lifeguards o…

I've had " Girls Like Us " sitting in my Kindle for a few months. I'm not sure why I haven't read it until now but I'm very happy I did. This novel was published in July of this year so it's still relatively new but so addicting. I finished it within a few days, the majority of it being r…

If you haven't been paying attention, Fall is my favorite season. I will say that phrase in at least five more posts so be prepared. There is something about it that makes me incredibly happy. I don't know if it goes back to my childhood when I was so excited to go back to school or if it's the fact that …

Happy first day of Fall! It's officially THE best season around and what better way to honor this holy day than with a Manicure Monday! I teased last week that I was going to be talking about the Essie Fall 2019 collection this week and here we are! When the collection was first released on Instagram I screenshott…

TGIF! My second week of work is complete and wow, it really feels incredible to get back into a routine. I was definitely a little more exhausted this week as I try to get my body back into the swing of things. I have to say there is something so invigorating about going into Manhattan every day, especially downtown w…

I've read two other Megan Miranda books (I only have a review for " All the Missing Girls " that I adored so when I saw that she was releasing another mystery novel, I was so excited. " The Last House Guest " is Miranda's latest book that was released over the summer; it was also a Reese Wi…

My last Little Loves was in June where I was just getting comfortable being unemployed and freelancing my way through the summer. Now, as we enter a new season and I started a new job, I figured it was a great time to do another update! Over Labor Day weekend I went and purchased all my usual Fall suspects. I haven&#…

I previously did a review of one of the polishes from this collection, a light pink called 'Into the A-Bliss' but now that we're diving headfirst into the fall season, I finally broke out my second polish from the collection. "Rocky Rose" is the shade I used this week and it is described as a te…

I was a bad blogger this week but I have a good reason! I started my new job as a social media coordinator at a beauty/skincare brand and I'm so excited! As you know I've been unemployed for the past few months (full story coming soon) and it was amazing to get back into the office environment and feel like I …

*This week's review comes early because tomorrow is September 11th and I like to commemorate the day without a blog post.  This is another book that I received in my InfluencHer Collective Essentials box. I picked it up immediately after finishing " Where The Missing Go " but was a little skeptical about…

Essie recently released a collection called "Gorge-ous Geodes" which was inspired by the earth's core. I thought that in itself was interesting but when I saw the shades, my breath was taken away. These are some of the most dazzling polishes I've ever seen and definitely some of the most unique. Some…

This is it... my last Friday of unemployment. It has been a really difficult few months and I will be doing an entire post on it soon, as well as some advice I can offer to anyone else going through a career shift. But the day I never thought would come is coming on Monday! A new job, a fresh start, it's going to …

At the beginning of the summer, I received an InfluenceHer Collective Essentials Box (IHC is the influencer network sponsored by Her Campus and I've been part of it since it's inception in 2012). Inside the box were three books in the domestic thriller category and if you read Royally Pink regularly, you know …

So I did something over the weekend that I actually have been wanting to do for a while... I opened an ETSY SHOP ! I am by no means an artist but I have big ideas and always loved inspirational quote images. My Pinterest and Myspace obsession is showing! I've always been the type of person who can look at a quote …
