I have been obsessed with Christmas since I was a little girl. There was nothing more exciting to me than having our house’s halls decked with boughs of holly, baking cookies with my mom and brother, and the warm glow of Christmas lights filling up the dull winter skies. It was pure magic. And that’s …
As it’s probably no surprise, I was more of an apprehensive child. I mean I’m still apprehensive as an adult – probably even more so now than then which can be annoying sometimes. But when I was a kid, I never broke a bone. Nothing was ever broken, sprained, fractured, or concussed. You’re welcome, mom …
I was nowhere near interested – or really put much thought – into what I wore when I was little. When I was little, my mom picked out what I wore and that was that. The only time I remember throwing a fit about something I didn’t want to wear was a time she picked …
As I’m writing this it’s July 18. It’s about a little bit over a month until I have to go back to college and complete one final semester – which that’s even a crazy concept to grasp. But it’s even a crazy concept to grasp that it’s the middle of summer. I’ve been off since …

Being an adult means a lot of things. There’s a lot of fun things you get to do now that you didn’t when you were younger. But there’s also a lot of fun things you don’t really get to do now because you are an adult. And to be quite frank, it sucks. Thus, The …
No matter where it takes me, even if it breaks me, I’m unapologetically all in. Like many people, I’m not good at New Year’s resolutions. I make them and abandon them a couple weeks later. That’s why going into 2018, I made goals instead rather than trying to change a bunch of things about myself …
Last year for my first New Years post I did a round up of my favorite makeup products that I bought throughout 2017, but this year I’m doing something different. I still enjoy doing my makeup now and then and treating myself to something fun every now and again. But I’ve fallen out of love with …
