Nine years ago I decided to start a blog. I was going into my junior year of college, getting my feet wet with the idea of internships and becoming more involved in my sorority. I was looking for an outlet to showcase my writing, build a portfolio and start making my dreams come true. Nine years later, life looks so d…

Memorial Day Weekend is one of the biggest sale times of the year, probably next to Black Friday. It can be really overwhelming to find the sales you want to shop, or to feel like you need to shop just because something is on sale. That definitely used to be me but in my old age, I've figured out to only buy the t…

This has been a weird week on so many levels which is why I only got one blog post up. It started off with me being so exhausted for no reason... I could barely get anything done on Monday and then the rest of the week kind of got away from me. Then there was yesterday... ugh. My primary care doctor wanted me to go f…

If you haven't heard, May in Mental Health Awareness Month and even though the month is almost over, I think it's still really important to talk about mental health, especially mine! I've been really open in the past about my anxiety, depression, and overall struggles when it comes to mental health so I th…

This was a really hard week for so many reasons. I started off Monday feeling very anxious, overwhelmed, and confused about so many things. There was a lot to get done at work, my week was all over the place and then I just crashed. Thursday night was bad... the lowest I've felt in months and it was a scary feeli…

I received " Where the Grass Is Green and the Girls Are Pretty " for an early review from Netgalley and it was published yesterday!  This book is written by Lauren Weisberger, the author of "The Devil Wears Prada" and its sequel, "When Life Hands You Lulu Lemons" , which I read and review…

I have been so into beauty lately and it feels amazing! For the past few years I haven't really been inspired by anything on the market and was sticking to my old favorites, but something happened recently and I've been loving trying new things.  Beauty is so fluid, the market and industry is always changing, …

The first e-reader I used was the Barnes & Noble Nook. I wanted it over the Kindle because I liked the idea of supporting Barnes & Noble... I wasn't too keen on Amazon selling books. I loved my Nook so much and used it until it broke, then I bought another one and used it for years. It was only a few years…

Another week, another beautiful day in New York! Today was truly magical... I'm mostly talking about the weather. It was over 70 degrees, a slight breeze, and just wonderful. I spent the day running errands with my mom, getting my house cleaned and organized, and I set up a new TV I bought. It was productive yet r…

It has been six months since I last shared a Little Loves post and I'm feeling less than happy this week so I figured this was a good compromise. I'm not really sure why I'm feeling so down, I think I'm just anxious and confused about life in general: relationships, career, post-pandemic life... there&…

I've been taking a break from thrillers recently but had The Good Marriage burning a hole in my bookshelf for a while. This novel was released last year and I received it as a Book of the Month. This isn't your traditional 'thriller', it's not even a thriller... I definitely need to get better at c…

*Thank you to Rellery for sponsoring this post!  Jewelry has always been one of my favorite genres of accessory. I got my ears pierced when I was only a few months old, got my first piece of real silver jewelry before I was a teenager, and really never leave the house without my rings or bracelets.  I love how jewelry…

Happy Friday! Does anyone else think this was the longest week of their life? It feels like Monday was forever ago! I got my 2nd dose of the vaccine on Monday night and really had no side effects; on Tuesday, I felt a tired and my under arm hurt. Around 2 PM, almost 24 hours after the shot, I felt achy, a little foggy…

April felt like a very slow month and I'm grateful for that. The year feels like it's flying by and I would very much like it to slow down. I can't believe it's already May... summer is upon us, NYC is coming back to life, and we're halfway to Halloween!  April was a solid month, I think. I spent a…
