How is February over already? I can't tell if I'm ready for spring or if I'm wanting to hold onto winter for a little while longer. I'm someone who doesn't mind the cold and snow (or the rain for that matter) so I truly loved all the snow NYC got this month. It was so cozy and wonderful. It's…

When I heard that the author of Gossip Girl, Cecily von Ziegesar was releasing a new, NYC based novel, I was over the moon. I had read Gossip Girl both before and after the series was on The CW and loved how different they both were -- it was like getting two stories from one set of characters. I really enjoyed Cecily…

As a followup to my Tuesday Inspiration post from a few weeks ago, I thought I'd talk about what it's like to be single, and actively trying not be single, during a pandemic. I was broken up with at the start of the pandemic and felt so relieved of the timing of it all. Having to grieve a relationship while l…
As I mentioned in a previous Manicure Monday , I recently placed a big order on NCLA for a few new polishes. The formula is superb and they have some really unique colors so I couldn't resist. One of the newer polishes I picked up, and one that is extremely unique in my collection was the shade "We're Of…

Why is it that whenever there's a short work week it always feels like the longest week ever? I can't believe it's just now Friday... I swear I woke up on Wednesday morning praying for the weekend. It was so strange. I definitely have hit a wall the past few weeks but this week especially; being off on Mo…

After reading Verity last January, I awaited another thriller by Colleen Hoover that I could sink my teeth into. My prayers were answered in the form of Layla . I was so thrilled that I was approved to read an early copy of this through Netgalley and I devoured it within two days. I was unsure of where this novel was…
Over the past few weeks I feel like I've been falling back in love with beauty. Maybe it's because I've been going places more or because I did a nice little de-clutter of some areas of my collection but I feel invigorated and refreshed when it comes to my makeup and beauty products in general. Because of…

Happy Valentine's Day! I was busy all weekend which I'm very grateful for but that's also why I'm writing this so late. Friday night I went out on a date (!!) and last night I was with my friends, celebrating one of their 30th birthdays (!!!). He is the first of our group to turn 30 and it was truly a…

I've been on a huge reading kick lately, one where it takes over my entire life and I want to read everything and anything. The need to read is in my soul and I cannot help it! I decided to sign up for Book of the Month again because I relish in getting hardcover books in the mail and I love being part of a commu…

Hi there! Surprising you with a late weekend post to let you know I'm running a beauty giveaway right now... just in time for Valentine's (or Galetines Day!). It'll have tons of beauty items like sheet masks, Laura Geller lipsticks & eyeshadows, Lights Lacquer nail polish, some Kylie Cosmetics, and ot…

TGIF! This week was slow and easy, which I am eternally grateful for. It started out with a huge snowstorm in NYC and it was truly magical. It made me so incredibly happy and calm... it was just what I needed. It also felt really nice to have my mom and sister home and added a bit of ease to the day. As the snow was s…

One of my new favorite pastimes is looking through Amazon, Barnes & Noble and Apple Books for e-books that are on sale. Sometimes I find books that spark my interest that are on sale or there's a best seller I've been wanting to read that is under $5. It's the best of both worlds. My true crime addict…

At the start of quarantine when nail salons were closed everyone began scrambling to buy manicure products. No one could fathom how they were supposed to survive without getting manicures or keeping up with their gel manicures. I did not have that problem as I've been doing my nails myself for years. I had all the…
