I’ve been loving fun sneakers and slip ons lately and I’ve been stocking up like crazy for when the warm weather comes. Or, you know, when we can actually go out. I pre-ordered these leopard studded sneakers back in January, I think, and they arrived recently. They are so cool and edgy, but totally wearable! I love that the leopard is just an accent along with the faux leather strip and studs so it’s not too much or over the top. I wore them last weekend with leggings and a front tie button down top. Sneakers: Vici | Top: Abercrombie & Fitch | Leggings: Express (here) The sneakers are comfy…

Sorry to tempt you with food photos if you don’t have any of these ingredients at your house right now due to the grocery stores being wiped out! But, I made this a while ago and wanted to share. I, too, do not have all these ingredients at the moment either! However, you can make this at a later date if you want, or if you’re lucky and have chicken, broccoli, and carrots right now you can make it while you’re stuck indoors! So as with many of the recipes I share on here, I found it on Pinterest. I followed this recipe (here) and made a few minor changes.…

I’ve written on here a few times before with lists of Hallmark Christmas movies I love and some movies that are great for Valentine’s Day. Well, I’ve been watching Hallmark Mystery Movies for years and I’ve never thought to write a post about them! So I thought it was about time I highlighted some. Over the years, Hallmark has had quite a few mystery movie series – some are still going on with more installments and some have ended. I’ve pretty much seen them all, but there are ones I like way more than others so I’m only highlighting the ones I really like and don’t find either annoying, boring,…

For a few weeks I was trying to find potpourri to put in my bathrooms. I couldn’t find any and the flowers in my vase were starting to droop when I had the lightbulb moment to make my own potpourri. I looked it up online and found out it’s fairly easy to do and I thought this would be such a great way to put dying flowers to use before getting rid of them. Kind of give them a second life. Plus I thought this would be a cool thing to do every few months. Make my own potpourri, then get rid of it in a few months and make…

When I think of a poncho, I think of something oversized, an outerwear piece, and something without much shape. That doesn’t quite describe this sweater, but it is considered a poncho style maybe because of the oversized fit and probably mostly because of the side slits. What first drew me to this sweater is the really pretty color combination in the color blocking. Teal, a lighter blue, grey, and peachy pink. The sweater is also so soft and warm. Sweater: LOFT (here) | Leggings: Express (here) Side note – my hair looks a little more voluminous here because I was having trouble blow drying my hair since my arms were…

Do you like gingerbread? I didn’t like it when I was a kid, but as I got older I started to like it. And now that it’s the holiday season, it’s the perfect (and only?) time to eat all the gingerbread things. I got a Williams Sonoma gift card a while ago and decided to shop for some things during Black Friday. Let me tell you – shopping with a gift card online is such a pain. It’s not like at the store where if you go over the amount on the gift card you can just pay the balance. When you use one online you can only use one…

About 5 weeks ago I had my first laser session with the VBeam Laser at Reflections Center for Skin and Body. To recap, when I went for my consultation over the summer the doctor told me that it would probably take 3 or 4 sessions to get rid of the acne scars on my cheeks. The VBeam is a gentle beam (but it still hurts a little!) so they don’t do any numbing or anything and it only gets rid of red scars. So any brown spots, brown-ish scars, and texture issues aren’t taken care of with this treatment. During this whole treatment you have to have limited sun exposure…

One week ago I went to the Backstreet Boys concert in Philadelphia with my bff. We last saw them six years ago in NJ so when we saw that they were doing a tour and coming to our area we got tickets. Coincidentally when we went six years ago it was the night before my birthday and this time around it was the night after! Back in the day when you had to choose whether you were Team BSB or Team NSYNC, I was an NSYNC girl through and through. Although, I still bought the BSB albums and knew all their songs but you know, you had to “choose” and…

I’m back at work today – I wish I had another day off! This week is busy for me though. We still have testing at school and tomorrow night is prom, which I’m a chaperone for again. Friday, I have a hair appointment and this weekend I’ve got a wedding to go to and a photoshoot! So much to do, so little time! As promised I’m writing about how I spent my weekend in Toronto this past weekend. I’ve been to Toronto many times in my life because I have some family there, however I haven’t done any real sightseeing there in years. The past few times I’ve gone have…
