TGIF if there ever was one! I had a very long week and am happy to be in my bed, watching Riverdale and catching up on other shows. Work was very hectic, in a good way, this week so the weekend is much needed. However, the weekend is going to be packed; wedding dress shopping for my BFF tomorrow during the day, date n…

I have reviewed the other two books in this series, " The Central Park Pac t" (Passion on Park Avenue and Love on Lexington Avenue ) series by Lauren Layne and I patiently awaited the release of the third and final book. " Marriage on Madison Avenue " was released in January and I pre-ordered so it…

It has been almost four years since I first talked about my experience with grief . I lost my dad in March 2016 and in a few short weeks, it'll be four years without him. At the time, I didn't think my life was going to go back to 'normal' but somehow it did. I look back at that time in 2016 where I wa…

For the past few years, skincare fridges have been a top skincare trend in the beauty space. From bloggers to editors to random people on Instagram, everyone seems to have hopped on the mini-fridge train. It's something that has always intrigued me but something I didn't see the need for. A mini-fridge to just…

A short week has come and gone... I hope it treated you well! As I'm writing this, I'm falling asleep and it's only 7:40 PM on a Thursday night. I started the week off really strong and energized and by Thursday, I was spent. The weekend ahead is a low key one which is fantastic, but when aren't my wee…

It's been about a month and a half since I made a vow to stop impulse shopping in 2020 and I won't lie, it has been really difficult. The first two weeks of January were a breeze! I felt no desire to shop and loved that I had enough money in my bank account to get me through the days. It was very freeing and I…

I love it when I read a description of a book on NetGalley and then it ends up being the book that everyone is reading and talking about on social media. That's what happened with "Followers" by Megan Angelo. I requested this book months ago... perhaps even mid-Summer after being very intrigued by the su…

This is my first handbag review in quite a long time. I recently sold a large portion of my handbag collection and haven't purchased a new one since September/October. That handbag was in fact, this Coach Cassie Crossbody bag. Coach has made a comeback in recent years and I've been very intrigued by their styl…

I've talked plenty about my struggle with dry skin over the years. This year, though, it has been particularly bad. It hasn't been abnormally colder than other winters but my skin is truly bugging out. Since around October, I've been having trouble not with my face but with the rest of my body. My eczema j…

Happy Valentine's Day everyone! I hope you have a lovely day with whoever you spend it; whether it's a significant other, your friends or even just alone for some self-love! I will be at my boyfriend's house tonight and am so excited for a nice night in! Today I'm working from home and it's much ne…

I've mentioned Stoney Clover Lane over the past few months and I simply cannot get enough. I've admired the brand from afar over the past year or so, ever since seeing their pouches pop up on Instagram. It wasn't until September that I finally bought myself a pouch and the obsession has been in full force …

Happy Valentine's Day week everyone! To celebrate, I finally used my Essie Valentine's Day pink color called " Talk Sweet to Me ". If you missed last week's Manicure Monday, I used another Essie V-Day Color called "Don't Be Choco-Late" but this color is much more my speed for actual…

Happy Friday! The week didn't feel incredibly long and for that, I am super grateful. It definitely started off rocky... Monday I was really anxious and depressed. I came home from work, got into my bed and under my weighted blanket. I just felt horrible, for no reason. After a few hours of sulking, I laid with my…

I was never a fan of Valentine's Day when I was single. I was the classically jaded girl who had had her heart broken too many times and thought celebrating a day of love was stupid. In college, I would wear black on Valentine's Day, get drunk, and hang out with my sorority sisters. One year, my roommates and …

I have been living under a rock because I haven't heard of Colleen Hoover until a few weeks ago. Once I heard about her once I felt like I was seeing her everywhere! I've heard a lot of amazing things about her and can't wait to read more of her books... but for now, I need to talk about what I think is he…

I am very into Valentine's Day this year and I hate that I am because it's just because I have a boyfriend (LOL) but at least I can admit it. I love the hearts, all the red and pink and all the special beauty collections that come along with this love-filled holiday. I don't remember if Essie has done it i…
