I think we can all agree that 2020 was not what we signed up for. It’s as if someone told 2020 to “calm down” back in January, and these last 12 months were its passive-aggressive way of retaliation. It’s been an emotionally up and down year for a lot of us. We’ve all experienced loss,…

CLICK BELOW TO SHOP MY SKINCARE MUST-HAVES [show_boutique_widget id=”1046090″] I couldn’t call myself a lifestyle blogger if I didn’t write about my skin care routine, right? Well, I wish that I had all of the magical answers for you as to what products are tested and true. But the truth is, when it comes to…
Surviving Quarantine – My List of Must-Haves
I don’t know about you, but on day one of quarantine when everyone else was panic buying toilet paper, I was adding everything but the kitchen sink to my Amazon cart. Having been physically distancing and working from home since mid-March, I’ve saved so much money on gas and Starbucks, that I figured, why NOT…
My New Quaran(rou)tine
Pre Quarantine Routine Before having been able to work from home, my alarm would go off as early as 5:45 a.m. Mostly so I can listen to my boyfriend’s radio show in between hitting the snooze button 27 times. In a nutshell, my morning routine consists of waking getting up late, throwing on an outfit…
Swipe Up to Check Out My Mental Breakdown
You’re always on my mind. You’re the last thing I think about before bed and my first thought when I open my eyes at 7 a.m. to the sound of my alarm. You’re the reason I’m late for work in the mornings and the reason I stay up way too late at night. You challenge…
Kicking it OLD School
Going back to school in your mid 30’s certainly comes with its challenges. Picture this: A 35-year-old woman sitting in the last available chair at her local Starbucks with a MacBook on her lap (because you can’t swing a dead cat in there without hitting someone working on the 3rd draft of their thesis), reading…

Adulting (v): to carry out one or more of the duties and responsibilities expected of fully developed individuals (paying off that credit card debt, settling beef without blasting social media, etc). Exclusively used by those who adult less than 50% of the time. -Curtesy of Urban Dictionary If you’re a millennial, or even remotely of that era, I can guarantee you’ve…
Champagne Taste, Target Budget.
Since my days growing up a (spoiled) only child in an upscale neighbourhood, I’ve always had expensive taste and have grown quite accustomed to the finer things in life. Being the kid on the block with the pool and the private school education really did wonders for my false sense of reality. Now, as an…
I Definitely Forgot to Tell the Kitchen About your Shellfish Allergy.
I show up for my shift at the restaurant where I work as a part-time server 15 minutes early, not knowing what kind of night I have in store. Is the restaurant going to be fully reserved? Is the kitchen going to be short-staffed? Am I going to have to serve an entire minor rep…
