Book Review: The View from Apartment Four
Happy Friday! This was one of those weeks where I’m not sure if it went by fast or slow. It was also one of those weeks that I couldn’t remember what day of the week it was. During my lunch breaks while working form home I’ve been getting a lot of my reading done. My most recent read has been on my tbr list for months, The View from Apartment Four: On Loving and Leaving New York by Skip Rozin. In this book, Skip Rozin tells of his life experiences, professional and personal, from the 1960s to the 2010s all while his apartment on the Upper West Side of New York…

Makeup Face Tee
I have seen this tee floating around the internet and social media since last year. I always thought it was so cute so back when I ordered that MTV graphic tee I also ordered this makeup face tee. It comes in different colors, but I think the white makes the lashes and lips pop more. I wore the tee with black acid wash jeans and a pearl barrette. Tee: Amazon (here) | Jeans: Kohl’s (here) | Shoes: Steve Madden via DSW | Barrette: Amazon This tee is so fun! You can wear it all year long. I wore it here with jeans, but I can wear it when it’s warmer…

Sheet Pan Teriyaki Shrimp
Who doesn’t love sheet pan meals? Anything that requires minimum amount of dishes gets a thumbs up from me. Last year I was looking for a sheet pan recipe and I just so happened to have a can of pineapple in my pantry so this teriyaki shrimp, snap peas, and pineapple sheet pan recipe was one I wanted to try. It looked so good and it is! For this recipe you’ll need: pineapple cut in chunks (I used canned chunk pineapple) brown sugar snap peas uncooked shrimp olive oil salt & pepper Now the original recipe also gives you the ingredients and recipe for a homemade teriyaki sauce, but I…

Monday Motivation
For those of you who don’t know, I’m a teacher full-time. I’ve been teaching online during this pandemic since March 18. I can’t believe it’s been almost 2 months! It’s really flown by, but at the same time it’s getting really tiring. I’m tired and I’m sure you’re tired too of the quarantine and the unknown. Sunday night blues aren’t exactly the same as they used to be when I was going into work, but there’s still that “Ugh I have to wake up early tomorrow for work.” On the upside, being “at work” every day from 7:30-4:00 has made my days go by fast and has kept me from getting…

Femme Fatal Press-On Nails
It seems like everyone these days are on the press-on nails train since they can’t go to their nail salons for their appointments. I haven’t gotten a manicure at a nail salon in years. Not that I’m opposed to them, but it’s just not something I make time for or budget for. It’s just not that important to me personally. However, I do enjoy the gel strip nails or press-on nails every once in a while for a fancy nail look. It’s been a few months since I’ve done either though because my nails were in pretty bad shape for a while there. They were constantly breaking from even the…

Sheer Sleeve Floral Smocked Top
You all know my love for smocked tops and when I saw this blue floral smocked top with sheer sleeves I thought it would be the perfect spring blouse for work. You know, when I thought I would be going into work! But, I did wear it this past week for virtual work. It’s so pretty and smocked tops are always comfortable so combining a work blouse with comfort is always a plus. The sheer sleeves are such a nice touch and I love that the print continues down the sleeves. Top: Vici | Pants: Uniqlo | Shoes: Vici I wore the blouse with grey pants and white mules. The…

TAO Clean Orbital Facial Brush + Discount Code
Happy Friday! This week went by pretty fast, so that’s good I guess? Hopefully, with each passing day we’re closer to some of our lockdown restrictions getting lifted. I have been wanting to try out this TAO Clean Orbital Facial Brush for months. I saw it on Alexa Anglin’s instagram stories months ago and it looked so cool. IT’s a facial cleansing brush, but what’s different about this one compared to other popular facial brushes like the Clarisonic, is that this one has a docking station that cleans and dries it. That was really appealing to me. You just put the brush back in the docking station and over time…

Leopard & Plant Print Tee
If you’ve been following me on here for a while then you know about 1-2 years ago I suddenly became a leopard print fan. Seriously, my whole life before that I was not a fan at all! But, I all of a sudden started liking and loving it. So when I saw this tee, I thought it was so cute. It’s not leopard print per se, it’s actually small little leopards! The light grey v-neck tee has little leopards on it and little green plants and flowers. So cute! Because the weather/temperature is changing frequently here lately, I wore it with a mustard yellow/marigold cardigan that I thought paired really…
