I can't believe tomorrow is October 1st! September feels like it was just getting started and all of sudden, we're a month away from Halloween. It was another really difficult month but I feel so much better now than I did at the beginning of September. I hope that it only goes up from here... but with Covid s…

*I did a similar post back in 2015 but it was time for an update! However, I still stand by all those tips and will mention some in this post as well. The start of a new season is always my favorite time of the year. Even though Fall is my favorite and I worship the autumn, I love any new season, the start of Spring…

I didn' think I had any new polishes up my sleeve but I was wrong. When I went to paint my nails last weekend, I realized that I had a new nail polish I had been saving for a rainy day. I purchased it last month in preparation for Fall and here we are, in Fall! OPI's fall collection is titled "Muse of Mi…

Welp, another week, another gross miscarriage of justice for Black people. I'm devastated for Breonna Taylor, for her family, for the people of Louisville and for the world. If it's exhausting for me, I can't imagine how exhausting it is for Black people and POC. Please, just remember to vote AND pay atte…

Last year around the same time, I wrote a review of Charlie Donlea's novel, "Some Choose Darkness" and I raved about it. It was such a good novel and I highly recommend it. That's why when I saw Charlie Donlea's new novel, " The Suicide House " on NetGalley and that it was a 'sequel…

I've been moving this post around on my editorial calendar for the past few months because I didn't know when it felt right to write something like this. This year, with the pandemic, has been truly been horrifying. Who would've thought that a virus could shut down the entire world? This was something tha…

I mentioned last week that I was waiting for an order from Olive & June to come in. I've experimented with Olive & June nail polish in the past and was less than impressed but I'm always willing to give products a second chance. When Olive & June released their Fall nail polish colors, I was prett…

Somehow it's September 20th and we are in FULL fall weather in NYC. Seriously, it's like 60 degrees right now and I'm freezing. It's BEAUTIFUL and I'm so happy. I've said previously that this Fall feels so different obviously because of the pandemic but also because it's the first Fall I…

It's a wild ride to follow an author as they finish writing and publishing their book. You feel like you're part of the process and feel strangely proud when the book is finally available for sale. Of course, this is a new type of feeling thanks to social media but when you follow Hannah Orenstein on Instagram…

I can't believe we're closer to 2021 than we are to the start of 2020. I also cannot believe how much has changed in the past 9 months... and I don't mean the state of the world. I mean how your life could look totally different in a matter of just a few months. Change happens every day but when you look …

It's finally PSL season and I couldn't be happier! My house is decorated, I've only been drinking pumpkin coffee, and new Fall clothes are currently en route to me. This fall is going to look a little different than past ones but that's not stopping me one bit.   Over the weekend I switched my fall &a…

It's been a really odd few weeks for me as I've highlighted over the course of my last few Royal Round Up Posts. To be honest, I'm not sure what's happening but I haven't been ok and it's starting to scare me. I obviously haven't blogged in over a week which is unlike me, because I didn'…

A few months ago I devoured American Royals within a day or two and the ending infuriated me. I needed to know what happened but the 2nd book, "Majesty" was so far away. Thankfully, I got approved for the NetGalley ARC and was able to read the book before it's release date... which was yesterday, Septem…

Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day...if I could I would eat breakfast food all day and every day, and some days I do. I've always said that the beauty of WW is that you can eat regular foods and not feel guilty about it because it's all about portion control. I love what I classify as 'aggressive'…
