Some days I have no idea. I started this blog just shy of one year ago after discovering a beauty blog. She also happened to receive Birchbox, and thus my love obsession with beauty subscription boxes began. I started writing reviews as an “easy” way to share a part of myself with the rest of the world. Shortly after that, I realized I wasn’t really enjoying that.

5 Things You May Not Know About Me + A Giveaway!

August 12, 2014

As you may remember, I traveled this weekend to Dallas, and I’m still pretty tired. Blame the time difference, or maybe I’m just getting old… but when I get tired, my brain gets tired. Which means its really hard to get the blog juices flowing. So here I am just staring at this blank post, when I figured I could do something that I’m fairly good at. Talking about myself.

Fashion Blogger Outtakes – Oh Hey Friday!

August 8, 2014

So, truth be told I almost forgot today was Friday. Probably because yesterday felt so much like Friday (because I’m taking today off from work) and I’ve been super confused. I’m off to Dallas this weekend, for a little blogging fun at The Hundred Event. This is my first blogger “conference”, but let’s be real, I’m just using it as an excuse to travel. #sorrynotsorry

Summer Reading: What I Read in July

August 6, 2014

Oh hey, it’s already August 6th and I’m just now posting what I read last month. I really need to get it together, apparently. Or not, this is my blog and I do what I want… or something. Anyways, it’s book review time! I actually read quite a few books last month – some good, some mediocre, some not so good.

Here’s what I’m reading right now:

The Here and Now by Ann Brashares amd I've Got Your Number by Sophie Kinsella / summer reading / hellorigby!

5 Relaxation Ideas with Tommy Bahama

August 4, 2014

Sponsored Post
Something I’m not the greatest at is taking the time to indulge in some true rest and relaxation time. As I’ve mentioned before, I tend to be pretty high-strung and anxious (at least on the inside!) I’ve learned that sometimes I really just need a breather. Relaxing is good for my own sanity and for others around me, too.

With National Relaxation Day coming up on August 15th, there’s no time like the present to share a few of my favorite relaxation activities and get prepared, right?
