One of the most fun parts of my job is getting to see the new merchandise we receive before it goes out onto the floor. Recently, we received a huge box of necklaces. Normally I’m not as excited about jewelry as I am about clothes, but this shipment was certainly worthy of excitement.
You may have noticed that a few of the books I’ve reviewed here share a common time period: the 1920’s. I am unceasingly intrigued by the glamour and opulence of the time. Statement-making clothes, bold makeup, perfectly coiffed hair…and that’s just one aspect. The over-the-top parties and clandestine activities are sure to make any modern […]
Introducing my latest obsession: rose gold hair. By now, we’re used to seeing colorful locks, from pastels to more vibrant hues. Celebrities like Nicole Richie, Kylie Jenner, Katy Perry, Hilary Duff and more have taken the plunge into vats of funky-colored hair dye. But the latest trend is a little easier for us normal folk […]
If you clicked on this post expecting to find a slimmed down, guilt-free treat as usual, you’re going to be disappointed. Sorry to tempt you, but these cupcakes aren’t “skinny.” They are delicious, though. Last week it was my friend Melissa’s 24th birthday. I was heading into Boston to celebrate with her.

If you follow me on Instagram (if not, why don’t you?!) then you probably saw my post about “Blind Date with a Book” a while back. If you haven’t heard about it yet, Blind Date with a Book is a new phenomenon in which you purchase a book that is covered with brown paper. There […]
I always say things like “I can’t wait until I can afford to do all my grocery shopping at Whole Foods” or “I wish eating healthy wasn’t so freaking expensive.” Well, I’m not going to say these problems have totally been solved, but I am getting there! I recently signed up for Thrive Market, an online […]
The other day, I posted a photo of the makings of a healthy chicken salad I had made. I didn’t post the recipe, but I suddenly got a bunch of texts and comments asking me for it! So, here I am. I can’t take credit for this recipe at all – found it on Pinterest, […]
Glamour Magazine decided to praise some of their favorite “plus size” stars in their latest issue. They included Amy Schumer on this list. For those of you that are unfamiliar with Schumer’s body, let me just insert a photo here: Oh, and guess where that photo is from? GLAMOUR MAGAZINE. How they can feature […]
I recently came across a recipe for peanut butter fudge – on Pinterest, of course. The recipe claimed that the fudge only contained three ingredients and was vegan, gluten free and grain free. Based on quite a bit of Pinterest experience, I figured the ingredients were either totally obscure, gross, or both. But no! The ingredients were […]
While most people swear by Spotify or Pandora, I’ve been a diehard 8tracks groupie for years now. Granted, their app isn’t the most reliable in regards to technical issues, but I swear by the content. You can use tags for any mood, artist, activity, etc. Even your most obscure moods will find an accompanying playlist on 8tracks. […]
