Sunday is here again and wow, things look different from last week. My heart is heavy, I am anxious and I'm just sad for what is happening to black people in this country, to what is happening with violent protests. It's just really fucking sad and frustrating.  I have always considered myself an ally to POC. …

After reading Verity & Regretting You , Colleen Hoover became an author I was really intrigued by. She has a lot of books in her repertoire and so many of them are available on Kindle Unlimited . My latest read is her novel, " Too Late ". I started this book a few weeks ago on a whim. I was scrolling th…

Over the past few years, I've gone through different phases of being a little too obsessed with Disney. Yes, I'm a childless millennial who loves Disney, don't hate! Disney is very important to me and really makes me happy. A few years ago, I discovered the online world of Disney influencers, and online sh…

I really enjoyed doing my last ' Items I Use Every Day ' so I figured I'd make it into a series! We're almost three months into quarantine and there is a little light at the end of the tunnel. However, as mentioned in last week's Royal Round-Up, I will probably be working from home until September/…

Happy Memorial Day Weekend everyone! While this definitely isn't what we expected, it's what we were dealt. The good news is that life is slowly but surely getting back to normal. Places are opening, New York is lessening the leash a bit and deaths/cases are decreasing, albeit very slowly.  I had today off, an…

I have avoided this series for years. I remember when it was first released and I heard that it was a Harry Styles fanfiction come to life. Like others before it, ("Fifty Shades of Grey") I was intrigued by the idea that fanfic could be a best selling book because well, I used to write fanfiction. I can'…

I've been in quarantine since March 13th and my daily routines look very different now from two months ago... just like everyone else's.  I am someone who is a creature of habit, who loves her little routines and relies heavily on doing the same thing every day. After about two weeks, I was in the groove of my…

I have had this post in my editorial calendar for a solid year and kept moving it. Some weeks I didn't feel like I used the app enough to warrant a review and other times I just wasn't in the right... headspace to write it. I'm sorry for the bad pun but I couldn't help it. Well, now, in the middle of a…

Another week of quarantine, another week that this post is NOT going up on a Friday. Time is a social construct at this point during the pandemic anyway.  This was actually a pretty busy weekend: Friday I wasn't feeling great so I took the day off, went on a late afternoon walk with my friends, and then did some f…

When I heard that there was a book coming out about the history of Instagram, the nerd in me was very exciting. I love learning about tech, startups, and companies that I'm a fan of. I know the story of Facebook was filled with drama (see: The Social Network) so Instagram being part of Facebook, I knew there was s…

Writing last week's Tuesday Inspiration was very therapeutic and I loved it. Thank you for reading!  Today I want to talk about what everyone is talking about, what people can't seem to stop talking about, and with very good reasoning. Quarantine and the entire pandemic has been incredibly stressful, rough, sa…

My nail colors have officially switched over to bright pinks, purples, and blues and with the state of the world, I needed some brightness in my life. The multi-color manicure trend has been on my radar for a while now but I've never attempted it. I could never figure out what colors go together or what looked goo…

It's Saturday... I'm rewatching One Tree Hill and feeling down on my luck about the state of the world. This entire thing is really getting to me and I'm starting to wonder when or if it's going to end, and how is the world going to look when it's all over. As I write this, I'm just not in a go…

Tuesday inspiration was a blog series I used to do back in the days. If I'm being totally honest, it was an easy filler in terms of content and it made me feel connected to all of you. It was where I got serious and discussed things that were close to my heart. At some point along the way, I stopped posting them b…

It's very rare that I stray from Essie polishes and when I do, a post is warranted. I've been really intrigued by Olive & June polish for a while but never found a color that spoke to me, or I just wasn't in the market for a new neutral shade. I'm not sure when I got this Olive & June polish , …

The one good thing that has happened in quarantine? Lilly Pulitzer has been killing it with sales recently... and it's very unusual for the brand. They usually have two sales a year and they are dubbed the After Party Sales which come in August & January. Otherwise, the brand does not have sales or promos on t…

Friday, oh Friday! This week was weird... our routines felt very normal and it's a weird groove that I feel like everyone has gotten into. I had many failed attempts at different projects, like buying a very cheap iMac and trying to use it as a second screen for work. I was just over everything this week. I'm …
