I am soooo not a morning person. For me, waking up is a daily struggle that entails hitting the snooze button in rapid succession (why does 5 minutes fly by so quickly when snoozing, but a minute lasts a dang hour on my treadmill?); waking up and lying in bed thinking about how much I hate having to get up; finally getting up and thenRead Now

Bath & Body Works always has a great selection of scents that range fromRead Now
Weekend Brunch
9 CommentsI love any excuse to catch up with my best gal pals, or my sisters, and being able to eat deliciously decadent waffles piled high with butter, powdered sugar, and other bad for my waistline but good for my soul toppings, is the best excuse since “my dog ate my homework!” Cue brunch: that magical meal where I can gab with pals, gorge on wafflesRead Now

6 Comments
This post was originally published on August 13, 2017 and revised on March 1, 2019. I remember my 1st blog post like it was just yesterday. Before I hit publish, I felt that blogging would be a natural fit for me: I love writing, fashion, and I’m obsessed with beauty and skincare. Blogging should be easy right? Wrong. I quickly learned that all of thoseRead Now
