Not to anyones shock, it took yet another rotation of a year full of long days to get where I am writing again, today. Let’s be real are we shocked? It took me about 30 minutes of trying to remember my password from when I changed it when I last wrote in November of 2022. During that time, I looked through spam emails and unsubscribed to so many communications that I filtered to that very spam folder, ordered more dog food – and bingo – changed my password yet again, so I could log in. I changed it with the hopes of doing better this year and not making excuses of why I’ve been away for so lon ..read more

Sheesh, where to even begin? I don’t think I’ve picked up blogging in about two years and I’ve been way less active on social media – but I’m still around with the occasional post on Stories. I won’t get into reasons why I’ve been absent online, because I don’t really have one besides the dreaded words: time management. I am working full-time at a new job now, which has been the best decision I’ve made in such a long time, no longer in the world of tech or marketing – but still getting to use my creative background to be involved with something great. I like to think that I’m still traveling a ..read more

I’ve said it once, and I’m certain I will say it again: Smith & Cult make my favorite nail polish. I wear the brand all the time & even carry a bottle or two in my purse for when I visit the nail salon. They’re such high quality polish colors and also cruelty free. Not to mention, the bottles are totally instagram worthy. Smith & Cult recently posted a video on their Instagram on how to make marbleized nails, so they sent a package for me to give it a go. Fingers crossed that I can make it look as good as they do. The colors included are: A Little Underground: a Metallic Plum Cerem ..read more

It’s about that time for a Gift Guide post. As we lead up to Thanksgiving, Black Friday sales are alive and well. There are tons of sales everywhere, so I figured I’d round up a few favorites that I’ve seen so far. I’m not normally one to write these type posts, however it was highly requested. So here we go! This one’s for the Stocking Stuffers: Turn on your JavaScript to view content This one’s for the DIY-lover: If you’re new into DIY or have been doing projects for awhile, these are all great deals that I’ve seen so far online and all of which are items that I personally have used and/o ..read more

I’ve been enjoying all of the conversation over on my Instagram about at-home workouts and LOL’ing at gym-fail memes and videos that are surfacing the Internet. Thanks TikTok. However, mainly I’ve been loving the way I feel after exercise. If you were to tell me a few months ago that I would not dread working out in the near future, I probably would have laughed at you. But seriously: I find myself more productive around the house and am genuinely in a much better mood.  I think my whole reasoning behind dreading the workout was that I had not yet found my rhythm and figured out what exer ..read more

I think this may be the first official year that I’m posting about the Nordstrom Sale on my blog. Normally, I just share awesome finds in-store and post to my Instagram, but this year seems like everyone is shopping a little differently. I wanted to pull together a small round up of items that I either own or will be buying. It’ll be short and sweet, but overall helpful. First of all, what is the Nordstrom Sale? I’m sure you’ve heard of it by now, but it’s meant to be one of the largest and most exciting times to shop new fall merchandise at discounted prices before it becomes available to the ..read more

Over the past couple weeks I’ve had so many requests on what products I used on my garage floor. I figured it would be easier to jot down a post on what products I used & the tips I’d suggest to someone that wanted to do the same thing. I went into Home Depot yesterday and realized that their garage floor section was wiped out. I guess I’m not the only one with this idea during quarantine! Facts: we spend a lot of our time in the garage because that is where our dartboard, random games, and drink fridge is. I’d be lying if I said we did not have neighbors gathered here almost every weekend ..read more

I am not a chef. Let’s start with that. And I have to say, “dang, photographing food is actually harder than it looks.” I have so much respect for people that can make food photography look so pretty and delicious. Regardless, during the quarantine, I’ve found myself more interested in cooking and baking after binge-watching The Great British Bake-off and Top Chef. Like literally every season. One thing I’ve been making that is quick, easy and yummy is Chicken Marsala. The easiest dish to make and also an impressive meal to serve to multiple people. I was scouring through Pins over the weekend ..read more

Hi everyone, welcome back to my blog. What’s it been, December since we’ve last caught up? A bunch of you voted on my Instagram that you’d like to see my blog back up and running. Still trying to work out the details of what type of content I want to keep posting – feel free to send me your suggestions. Especially since a ton of people are working from home, now. To be honest, I struggled with what to write here. I’ve typed, deleted and then typed again (times 30342). It’s really hard to know what to say or do right now. Obviously it is not up to me to tell you that this world is in a really w ..read more

As you may have already known, I love candles, especially Diptyque candles. They are quite possibly one of my favorite luxury brands. One of the best times during the year is when Diptyque release their city candles to purchase online. Well, unfortunately that time came and went so quickly this year, but I managed to snag a few more to add to my collection! Right now, Diptyque has nine city candles: Berlin, Beverly Hills, Hong Kong, London, Miami, New York City, Paris, Tokyo and Shanghai. Each candle is specifically designed for that particular store and cannot be purchased anywhere else. The ..read more
