December 2018 Favorites + Looking Back on 2018
Can you believe it’s the very last day of 2018?! I honestly can’t. This year went by in the blink of an eye and I need time to slow down. I thought about doing a 2018 recap and include some of my favorite posts from the year, but that would be very time consuming to go through the entire year to pick out my top posts. I used to do that but it would just take forever and I always felt like I wasn’t doing my recap justice nor paying proper homage to these favorite posts and moments. So I’ve decided not to do that this year, but I will…

Hallmark Christmas Movies I Would & Have Watched Multiple Times
If you know me, it’s no secret that I have a mild obsession with Hallmark movies. Sure they are predictable and many of them follow a similar formula – especially the romantic comedy ones. But I don’t care, I will still watch all the movies! The Christmas movies are especially my favorite. Some are much better than others. Some I watch and I really love and some I’m like eh, that was just okay. This season of Christmas movies on the channel started back at the end of October so I’ve already seen quite a few and there are still more to come leading up to the holiday. Some of…

November 2018 Favorites
It’s the last day of November! How?! I felt like it was the beginning of November when Thanksgiving was around the corner and now we’re at the very end. As usual, I’ve rounded up some things I loved this month that made it into my monthly favorites. First up, I know everyone goes crazy for the Starbucks holiday cups but they really are so pretty. Here are shots of 2 of the designs. They just make me happy! Speaking about holiday, I put up my Christmas tree the weekend before Thanksgiving. Usually I wait until the day after but I was busy all Thanksgiving weekend so I did it early. I…

New TV Shows I’m Loving
Every fall I look forward to checking out the new shows on TV. Some I really look forward to and they aren’t as good as I hoped, some live up to expectations, and some exceed expectations. I’ve rounded up 4 new shows this season that I’ve been watching, loving, and fit in to that category of exceeding expectations. First up, Magnum, P.I.. This reboot of the Tom Selleck show modernizes the story of Hawaii’s favorite private investigator. It’s brought to viewers from the same producer as Hawaii Five-0. I never watched the original show, but I know of it. My mom used to watch it back when it was on tv…

Royal Wedding: Prince Harry & Meghan Markle Recap
Did you watch the Royal Wedding yesterday? The coverage started here on the east coast at 5am and I did not wake up that early, but I did wake up at 7:30 and watched from the beginning of what I recorded. Since I could fast forward, I was able to skip over some of the boring parts. I mostly wanted to just see the people arriving and pick out all the famous people, and then of course all the wedding stuff with the royals like their arrivals and the ceremony. After the wedding was over, I immediately began rounding up photos to recap the wedding. Before I get in to…

March 2018 Favorites
I know I always say I can’t believe another month has gone by, but I really can’t believe it’s going to be April tomorrow! How are we 3 months in to 2018 already? As with the end of every month I am rounding up some of my favorites from the month. First up, I have an oldie but a good – the Bobbi Brown Long Wear Eye Pencil in the shade “Jet”. I love how smoothly it glides on. My next favorite is my gold layered necklacefrom Baublebar. I’ve shared it twice now, I think, on the blog. Once when I wore it with a gold sequined striped top and again…

Oscars 2018 Fashion
Did you watch the Oscars last night? This is the first Oscars in my recent memory that there were so many looks that I just wanted to say “what in the world are they wearing?”. Really, so many bizarre and/or ill fitting looks. But there were still some looks that I really loved so let’s get started! Sandra Bullock was one of my favorite looks of the night. I don’t always love her style, but this Louis Vuitton dress I love. The neckline looks great on her and I love how the gold covers the top half of the dress and then slowly becomes more scattered and shows more black…

Winter Olympics 2018 Highlights
Last night was the closing ceremony for the Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang. If you didn’t already know, I love the Olympics! I watch a bunch of different events, but far from all of them. I watch as many as I can as they’re broadcast on NBC and I record the ones that are shown late at night when I’m asleep. Then I just fast forward through to what I want to see when I get home from work. Anyway the point of this post is just to highlight some of the things I absolutely loved during this Olympics! And while many of the things are of Americans, I do have…

January 2018 Favorites
Can you believe it’s already January 31st? The first month of 2018 is over and there are a few things I loved this month. My first favorite is a rediscovered product. My NYC Color Wheel Mosaic Powder in “Pink Cheek Glow”. I’ve had this for a long time, but recently pulled it back out and remembered how much I love it! After the new year, I got the iPhone 8 and Verizon included a Morphie charging base with my new phone and I love it! I just have to lay my phone on it for it to charge and what’s great about it is that it will only charge your phone…

December 2017 Favorites
I’m heading home from vacation today. I can’t believe the week is already up and that I’m headed back to work in just 2 days. I also can’t believe it’s the last day of 2017! How did that even happen?! So as you can see I’m taking a short break from my travel posts since I’ve been dead tired when I get home from the parks each day so I’m a bit behind. And with it being the end of the year I have this end of month post and tomorrow I’ll have a short reflection on 2017. But don’t worry, I still have a few travel posts to share…
