I received this book courtesy of NetGalley, prior to its publishing, but only just finished reading a few months ago. There is something about the title, Ghosts of Harvard , that makes this book so enticing. Also, the cover? It's the kind of book you want to curl up with on a stormy night, with twinkle lights arou…

I have talked about Stoney Clover Lane before and if you read my weekly round-ups, you will notice that I always have an SCL item in my "What I Bought This Week" section. I also am constantly posting about them on my Instagram. The brand means a lot to me: the founders are young women like myself and their …

If I remember correctly, the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale has usually taken place by now but I could be wrong... maybe it just seems that way because time is moving so slow and fast at the same time. Either way, the biggest sale of the year is coming up. I think Nordstrom Sale fatigue has definitely set in as the influe…

We're almost in AUGUST. The year is halfway over and Christmas is a mere 5 months away. Summer is basically done and I'm trying to hold off counting down to Fall for as long as possible. However, Taylor Allison Swift is making that very hard. Folklore is giving me all the Fall feels. I just want to lay in a pu…

Let me tell you a story... Back in 2013, I was obsessed with the Levo League, a new career site aimed toward young women. I read everything the site published, followed the employees on Instagram, and was truly enamored with the message of the site. When I saw that they were looking for summer interns, I jumped at the…

Vogue's 73 Question series on Youtube is one of my life's greatest pleasures. I love seeing celebrities in their element and love learning more about them. Whenever it's a celebrity I really love, I'm super excited (like SJP and Taylor Swift) but even the celebrities I don't know a lot about, I fi…

Face masks are IN... haven't you heard? I surely hope you have! Since the start of the pandemic when we realized we were going to have to be wearing masks, companies started selling them. At first, not a lot of places were producing them; my first masks were from a boutique in my neighborhood, Alice & Olivia, …

Hey, you... I hope you're wearing a mask. The sheer blasphemy of the Coronavirus this week threw me for a loop. The United States has now set consecutive records for most cases reported... I mean, that is fucking insane. The government is making laws saying people CAN'T make masks mandated (looking at you, Geo…

I have talked a lot about sleeping on the blog in the past. As I've gotten older, sleeping has become one of my favorite activities. I love to nap, I love to curl up in my bed after a long day and rest my eyes, I love relaxing in bed in the morning when I'm still tired, and I love waking up in the middle of th…

I have never listened to The Ladygang podcast before I read their book but I was still intrigued. It seemed like the kind of 'adult' guide that I could get behind. It seemed no-nonsense, straight to the point, and funny book that I would love. Well, all my predictions were right.  "Act Like A Lady"  …

Kathleen Lights has always been my favorite Youtuber. I've been watching her consistently for 6 years, I met her at Beautycon in 2016 and I've bought a lot of her brand collaborations. However, I've never purchased one of her nail polishes. Originally, Kathleen launched KL Polish a few years ago but after …

It's Saturday night in the middle of July and I'm home. It is what it is at this point. The week was extremely slow but yet, I can't believe we're almost halfway through the month. I can smell the Fall candles in my future... we know how it goes around here. I start counting down to fall as soon as 4th…

I started Weight Watchers three years ago to the day. It has been a very long, incredible, and most difficult journey. My weight has been up and down for the past 1.5 years and it's been hard to get back on track. It's been some time since I've shared anything Weight Watchers related on the blog but just k…

If you've been around for a while you know I love a good self-help book. I love career books and step by step guides on how to navigate life. When I saw that there was an average book for average adults being released, I was really excited. I never heard of Samantha Matt before seeing her book pop up all over Twit…

On May 30th, 2020 this blog turned 8 years old. It was also the day that protests and violence erupted across the nation and the world in response to George Floyd's horrifying murder. It didn't' feel right to celebrate at that time and honestly, I was completely ridden with anxiety and very overwhelmed at …

I told you last week that I was going to be reviewing another nail color in Essie's new collection and here we are! Besides the light coral shade, "Beachy Keen", I felt like I needed a new hot pink/coral shade and "Throw in the Towel " was exactly what I was looking for. This color makes me so …

Happy July everyone! I had a very long weekend away in New Jersey and I'm happy to be home. I discovered something new this weekend: I'm highly allergic to dogs. I've known I was allergic for a while now because whenever I'm around dogs for an extended period of time, I have a sneezing attack and can&#…
