Hi! It’s been a while! I haven’t written anything here for a few years – I fell out of the habit and then got really into making youtube videos for a bit, and then fell out of that for a bit too. But I really enjoyed doing it and after some coaxing and encouragement from friends, I decided there’s no reason I can’t do both! I can’t guarantee this will be a super regular occurrence, but I didn’t want to leave this beautiful blog abandoned (like so many other creative projects I’ve done…)! A lot of things have changed since…

Fab Fit Fun Subscription Box Review – Winter 2018
If you’ve been following my blog for a while now, you may recall that I really like subscription boxes. It’s fun to get a little surprise each month and try a few different things. However, around a year ago I decided to take a break and stop getting them for a while. I was getting things I didn’t want or need that just ended up getting donated, and I didn’t have the extra money lying around to get them every month. Well, due to a combination of window shopping a little too hard and a lot of post-election stress, last…

Shopping for My Wedding Dress
Something I’ve really been looking forward to writing about after we got married was the process of shopping for my wedding dress!! I obviously couldn’t post any pics or talk about this before the wedding because I didn’t want Chris to see any of the dresses I was looking at. This post isn’t really meant to be anything super helpful or informative, I kinda just wanted to talk about my experience. Also, the shop that I bought my dress from has since gone out of business so it’s not like this post will be any help to anyone now, but…

2017 Year in Review & Favorites
Before I jump into this post – check out my new blog theme!! I decided the start of the new year was as good of an excuse as any to spruce things up around here. The sizing and details on some stuff is still a little wonky while I work everything out but go ahead and have a look around – I hope you like it! I figured with the new year it was time for me to write a “end of 2017” post or something, but I wasn’t sure how I wanted to do it. I want to include…

Sigma Kabuki Brush Set Review
I briefly mentioned this in my October favorites post but I figured it was worth doing a deep dive into one of my newest favs from last month! I recently picked up a beautiful set of Sigma kabuki face brushes, and today I’m telling you all about them 🙂 I got my set from Hautelook (click here to read about that if you don’t what it is) on an amazing sale a couple months ago. The set of 5 brushes normally costs $90 but I got it for $45 aka half price!!!! Amazing!!! The brushes included in this set are as…

DIYing My Wedding Shoes
We are now under the 3 month mark for our wedding and I am decidedly beginning to panic..but within reason. As with many other aspects of the wedding, I had no idea what I wanted when it came to my wedding shoes. Heels or flats? Solid or a print? Sparkly or…just kidding, they were always going to be sparkly. I thought that maybe I wanted to have two pairs of shoes – one heels, and one flats, so I could wear the heels to the ceremony and the flats for the rest of the night. But wedding shoes can be…

June 2017 Favorites
Welcome to this month’s Favorites post! June felt like it was both ridiculously long and flew by super quickly. I can’t believe we are already halfway through 2017. Babyliss Pro Nano Titanium Straightening Iron When my pals were here last month, one of the little things I loved was getting ready together. Ana had brought her straightener with her and I was curious to see how it worked on me, a person with hair that cannot hold a style to save my life. But I was really surprised when it worked super well on me! I loved the look so…

May 2017 Favorites
Happy June! I was really excited to write about my favorites for this month. I also meant to put this post up yesterday but time got away from me and here we are haha. Since I decided to start writing this monthly instead of weekly, I’ve actually had time to really form a nice list of favorite things! I have a lot of fun stuff to share – hope you love all of it too 🙂 Hydro Flask Insulated Water Bottle Okay so I was recommended this water bottle by a bunch of people and I thought our week in…

Clothes Shopping on Amazon – Tips & Tricks
There have been a few posts now on my blog where I have expressed my joy in buying on Amazon. My family happily sold our souls to Amazon Prime a long time ago in exchange for free 2 day shipping and a shopping catalog of anything our little hearts desire. As a natural result of this, I started to shop for clothes there to see what kind of deals I could find. Lo and behold, there is a HUGE selection of everything you can think of, from basic necessities to extravagant pieces. <3 <3 <3 I was hesitant at first to shop on…

Friday Favorites #14 – 4/28
Welcome to this week’s Friday Favorites! I had a great birthday week full of lots of celebrating 🙂 Like I mentioned briefly in last week’s favorites post, I’ve actually decided to start doing Favorites monthly rather than weekly. This is because I feel like I find myself more and more often scrambling to put things into the posts…a lot of things make me happy every week, but it’s more often than not the same things over and over haha. So this will be the last “Friday” Favorites but I’ll still do one at the end of each month with all my…
