Of all the bugs in the world, centipedes are THE WORST. Die centipedes DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you read my blog, you’ve probably noticed this isn’t my first rodeo with a centipede, or millipede, or whatever they are (read about another Stupid Centipede experience). I am a magnet for these disturbing night monsters. About a week and… Continue reading Centipedes are THE WORST
I love to match. That’s no surprise to anyone who knows me. It makes me so happy (probably too happy) when my clothes or shoes or accessories match. I’ve become a fan of online shopping. It’s so convenient (and time-wasting) that I find myself doing it often. I’ve been looking for a matching top and… Continue reading Matchy-Matchy
Minimalism is having a moment. Whether it be makeup or fashion, minimalism is taking over spring fashion runways worldwide. You know what this means–less time spent on makeup and matching outfits in the morning, and more time spent on sleeping! My spring go-to makeup is super simple. I’m skipping the shimmery eye shadows and blush… Continue reading Spring Minimalism
That’s assuming I’ll live to 100 … and jumping the gun a bit because I won’t have my 25th birthday for a little over half a year. The other day I woke up in a rush. I put on some clothes, brushed my teeth, threw on some primer, base and mascara (I don’t care how… Continue reading Quarter Life Crisis

Why buy valentine’s food goodies when you can make them yourself?! Red velvet recipes are obviously pretty dominant during the month of February, so I decided to… Continue reading Skinny Red Velvet Cinnamon Rolls

Here’s some fun facts for you: typically the elderly dream more in black and white, the younger in color and the middle-age in technicolor. It all has to do with the media we were exposed to growing up…or… Continue reading 10 Fashion Trends That I’m Dreaming Will Come Back in Style
Today I woke up to a winter wonderland sparkly daydream. The snow day was too perfect not to take pictures.
Every year I purchase a brand new dress to wear to Christmas Eve Church service. This year I was dead set on a glitter dress. No, no, not a dress entirely covered in glitter, but one with tastefully placed gold glitter accents. Well, I came across a gorgeous cobalt blue velvet dress, and those plans went… Continue reading Winter Velvet
Do it. Even if you’re scared, then do it scared. It seems some of my best life moments began with terror. I am not brave. I get nervous a lot and often I anticipate the worst. But, I force myself to do things anyway, terror and nerves included. Terror and nerves have now become more of an… Continue reading Christmas Behind Bars
