Hi Loves,
Throughout the month of May I came across quite a few things I’m now obsessed with, so I figured I’d share these things with you all in the hopes I will get someone equally as obsessed and have a friend to talk about these things with.

My Valentine
Hi Loves,
It’s Valentine’s Day and I want to be my own Valentine! I honestly love Valentine’s Day even though I’m painfully single right now. Valentine’s Day has always been one of those days I can’t help but celebrate because I have so many people in my life I love and am grateful for. This year I want to focus on the people in my life I love, including myself! Self love is SO important and at this time of year I’m giving myself an extra dose of it. Continue reading
Shell Jewelry Holder DIY
Hi Loves,
I know it sounds silly, but I’ve had dreams of being a mermaid since I was 4 years old. Growing up I always lived next to some kind of water, my first house had a natural waterfall in the back yard and I used to play under it all the time. I’ve always had some connection to water, it relaxes me and makes me feel safe. Last spring break I went down to my Grandmother’s place in Florida and spent some time fishing, kayaking, and taking long walks down to the jetty. Of course I’m one of those people who collects shells while walking down the beach with the hopes of doing some cool DIY projects. Well I’ve finally gathered all the materials I need to do this DIY so let’s do it!
Real Techniques for the Holidays
Hi Loves,
Makeup brushes have been a thing I’ve been struggling with since starting my small beauty obsession. What are the best brushes? Should I be using a Beauty Blender? What are the best ways to get a flawless look? All these questions have floated around in my head for the last few months as I’ve tried out different brands. I was sent a set of Real Techniques brushes by Influenster for testing and reviewing purposes, and boy did I ever put them to the test!
Sweetgreen Fenway Opening
Hi Loves,
Is it just me, or in the summer do we tend to eat differently than in the winter? I find that my body craves less heavy foods and more fruits and vegetables. People have been telling me about Sweetgreen for a while now, I even have a headband from an event they sponsored, but I never actually ventured into one until a few weeks ago when my roommate came back raving about their kale caesar salad. Fun fact about me, I love kale salads, and theirs is delicious!
Father’s Day with Lush
Hi Loves,
First off let me say Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there! I was not able to be with my dad on this Father’s Day, but that didn’t mean I couldn’t celebrate him in my own way!
I stopped into my local lush and could not help but sneak a peek at the adorable Father’s Day things, and when I did that I had to buy… So here we are now! I picked up 3 things from the Father’s Day collection and 2 repurchases.
Starbucks VS Dunkin
Hi Loves,
One of the great debates in life is that of Starbucks VS Dunkin Donuts. It pertains to my life more than one would think, but in my head the debate is displayed as New York VS Boston. For me the two are in constant collision, and when it comes to coffee that is no exception.
Starbucks is like a shiny black Amex, giving you luxury, opening the doors to your own personalized drink, one that is exclusively yours, and offers your rewards for your loyalty. I myself have a Starbucks Gold Card, and I’ve maintained this status since 2010, so needless to say, Starbucks is my go to.
Dunkin on the other hand, is a cheap-quick-cup-of-not-too-strong-coffee that, it seems, everyone here in Boston has a major addiction to. Dunkin also has a rewards program which I partake in, however these rewards allow me to have a guilt free doughnut every once in a while.
2015 – A Year In Review
Hi Loves,
2015 was quite the year for me, it had its ups and downs, but it was all worth it.
My Holiday Playlist
Hi Loves,
Decorating for the holidays is something I’ve always loved doing, and while I’m decorating there is no better way to get into the holiday spirit than with festive holiday songs! So here is my holiday playlist that makes decorating, wrapping presents, or really anything, more enjoyable!
Baked Mac & Cheese
Hi Loves,
Last night I experimented with making baked mac and cheese for the first time (shocker if you know how much I love baked mac and cheese). Honestly I was nervous about how it would come out at first but after stirring in the cheese the second time It looked delicious and the taste test was a success. So I’m going to share with you what I did and maybe your can do it too!
