I was a little late getting my bedroom tree up this holiday season but between visiting NYC this past weekend and being on a bender of night-shifts at work, I just couldn’t find the time (my precious ZZZs ALWAYS come first) Anyway, T-2 weeks until Christmas!! I can’t even believe…

When in New York: My NYC Itinerary

  True Life: NYC kicked my BUTT. I feel like I was just hit by train. As I lay in my bed resting for night shift tonight (womp- back to reality) I’m finding it hard to move elsewhere because I am completely wiped out from going, going, going for 4…

Meowww… Day Time Faux Fur

 Dressing down my faux fur vest that I snagged at the end of last winter is one of my favorite looks to play with. I love wearing it with all black pumps + edgy jewelry for a night out on the town but why save this hot little number for just the dark. Adding…

Skinni-Mini Spicy Avocado & Egg Toast

Breakfast can get boring. I must admit that I am guilty of skipping the most important meal of the day 90% of the time. Most days I chug my cup of coffee (or three) and call it a morning. Unless its brunch… then in that case I stuff my face,…

What I’m Reading: How to be Parisian…

Okay so let me tell you about my exciting Thursday night. I sat my little bum on the floor of my bedroom (but actually), plugged in my space heater, lit my favvvvorite candle, & read an entire book. I kid you not — the entire book in one sitting. I…

Skinni-Mini Egg White Oatmeal … Say What?!

True life: I need serious help getting my protein up. I really might have some type of diagnosable, irrational fear of chicken. If I could, I would eat medium-cooked filet mignon on the regular… but who has the dough to live that life?! (*sigh*, I wish). Therefor, I lack in…

Forever 21 x For the Babes on a Budg!

Forever 21 can be overwhelmingly-overwhelming. You won’t catch me in there unless I’m in “that” kind of mood. By “that” kind of mood, I mean I’m ready for war —- It means I’m ready to go HAM & spend my precious hour(s) searching high & low to find those diamonds…

DIY Donut Pumpkins

I had to do it. I saw these cuties on Pinterest a while back & fell in love. I mean, even if you even know me a little, you probably know that I have a serious love-hate relationship with donuts. It’s actually kind of embarrassing.  I get snap chats from…
