Today I turn 23 years old and I can't believe we've come this far. I don't feel 23. I feel like I'm still 16. I don't feel like I can be considered an adult because I don't understand things like taxes or know how to control myself in aspects of shopping. I still live at home and share a room…

So here it is. The day we wait all year for. The biggest shopping day/weekend of the entire year and my goodness, it is a shopaholic's dream! I shop like crazy all year round but I love a good sale/deal so this is my Christmas. I know I won't be buying a lot for myself but I will definitely be getting gift…

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I am so thankful for so many things this year: a great job, my friends, family, my health, and everything in between! It is my favorite day of the year for so many reasons: food, family, the fall weather, the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, my birthday in a few days, Black Friday &am…

Thank you to PUR Cosmetics for sending me these products! All opinions are my own :) I've said it many times before but I am a hardcore beauty addict. If there is a good beauty product out there, I will find it. And my goodness, I've found a good one! Contouring is not something I'm good at but it…

Happy Monday! Happy Thanksgiving week! I really need this mini break, and Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday of all time so I am super excited. It's also one week till my 23rd birthday -- how exciting! (just a tad bit of sarcasm) Sorry for disappearing on the blog last week-- I forgot to write a post on Wednesd…

How is it mid November? How is Thanksgiving next week? How is my birthday in less than 2 weeks? Time is flying by and I don't like it one bit. This is however, my favorite time of the year. Fall into winter, the holidays, all the good food and the chill air. The Christmas movies, wrapping paper, winter scented…

This was definitely not a winning month for Birchbox and I am getting very close to canceling it. Birchbox has always had its ups and downs over the years, but for the past year or so, it's really been on it's A game. It was pretty much September-November that I haven't been a huge fan of the boxes I'…

It feels like every day my beauty collection grows and grows. As I've said before, I'm starting to get overwhelmed with everything but I'm always swapping things out and giving things away to family and friends. There is one product that I will never ever part with and I'm so happy I finally jumped o…

Let me start off on a negative note because that's how I roll and say this was the longest week of my life. Did everyone else feel that way??? I feel like last weekend was years ago. Monday feels like a month has passed since. It's insane. I am happy to see the weekend, a weekend that I don't have defini…

My obsession with Audible has not faltered in the past few months. With every book I fall more and more in love with the app and with audiobooks in general. I usually like to listen to memoirs or thriller/suspense type books on the app, books I may not normally read. There are certain books that I have saved on my wi…

I am not ashamed to admit that I am a Sephora VIB which means I've spent $350 at Sephora in a calendar year. When I hit VIB a few months ago, I was insanely thrilled. I felt accomplished, like when you get your Gold Card at Starbucks. The perks of VIB are insane, but the one I couldn't wait for? The VIB sale…

I had another post planned for today, a post I've been putting off for weeks but I just wasn't into it. It's one of those lazy Sundays and I've been up since 7:00 AM. It's now 11:30 AM and I am crashing. Before 10 AM I made Cinnamon Rolls, did yoga, made my bed, and cleaned the kitchen so clearly…
