Yup, you read that right. The most expensive item on my list of everyday makeup? $12.99. Plus, you can get all of the below products at Ulta or Amazon—those are the two places I’ve linked to make your shopping easier. After all, who wants to buy from five different sites and rack up shipping costs?! […]
My January Reads
Do I talk too much about books? Probably. Am I going to keep doing it anyway? You betcha. Here are my reviews of the books I read this month: The Midnight Library by Matt Haig—3.75/5 You may have noticed that this was my first virtual book club pick of the year. As I discussed via […]
Protein-Packed Baked Goods
I’m always trying to up my protein intake…and always in the mood for a sweet treat. I have Pinterest boards full of lightened-up dessert and snack recipes that’ve been collecting proverbial dust for years. I finally put two of them to good use and was pleasantly surprised with the results. First up are these Banana […]
A Letter to My Nana
Nana. Nan. Virginia. Vee. Ma. You went by many names, but the one I feel luckiest to have called you is “friend.” Lots of people are close with their grandparents, but it feels like a rare privilege that I was able to call my grandmother my friend, too. Nowadays, people in my generation seem to […]
Everything I’ve Read So Far in 2021: Part Three
Just in the nick of time, I finished my 50th read of the year! I didn’t have an initial goal in mind, but I decided to count a few weeks ago and realized how close I was to that milestone—so why not reach it?! Don’t forget to catch up on Part 1 and Part 2 […]
Everything I’ve Read So Far in 2021: Part Two
Since my initial 2021 book review post (“Everything I’ve Read So Far in 2021“), I’ve knocked 25 more off my to-be-read list, so I was long overdue for a part two. To keep this post manageable for both me and you, dear reader, I’ve kept it to about half that and plan on posting a […]
Custom Art on a Budget With Mapiful
You probably know by now that I have a *bit* of an addiction to buying wall art. I’m close to running out of space for it in my small apartment, but that hasn’t stopped me yet. So, when Mapiful reached out to tell me about their new LineArt prints, I couldn’t resist. Here’s a snippet […]
NYC Apartment Tour
I moved into my “new” apartment five months ago…but I’m just finally getting around to sharing it with you. To be honest, it took me a long time to get it exactly how I wanted it—from waiting on backordered items to moments of indecision and pure laziness, this apartment was certainly not built in a […]
Everything I’ve Read So Far in 2021
It’s no secret that I’m a bookworm. That’s why book reviews have always been a feature I’ve tried to keep up with on the blog. Since January, though, I’ve been breezing through books and keeping note of titles, but haven’t taken the time to sit back and talk about them. I recently did a poll […]
Book Review: The Diana Chronicles
I was far too young to understand—or even notice, for that matter—the stardom Princess Diana held toward the end of her life and in the years after her untimely death. I hadn’t even turned six when she was tragically killed. The one thing I always associated with the Princess was the iconic royal purple Beanie […]
