I often joke about the fact that I’m getting old…but, I never actually mean it. Well, today, I mean it. There was a time, in college (right after I was of legal drinking age of course) that I would literally party from Thursday night right through until early Sunday morning and THEN I would hammer out some homework, maybe shop with friends and be ready to go Monday morning for another week. Not anymore, no. Now, one half-assed night of partying sends… Read more »

Friday Fun
Happy Friday!! My week has been incredible, truly!! I found strength this week that I didn’t even know I had…& I stood up for myself in ways I didn’t even think were possible. Sometimes putting someone in their place (I’m talking a someone who really, really deserves it) can be the most freeing & exhilarating experience!! I wish I could share every detail of my life with those of you reading…but I think that would get me in trouble, so… Read more »
A Guide to Sephora: The Introduction
I will never forget the first time I stepped inside of a Sephora store. I was 14…extremely overweight and incredibly awkward and….I was with my parents. We were visiting Las Vegas together (who takes a 14-year-old to Las Vegas??) and I spotted the classic black and white storefront from almost a mile away. I remember sounding out the strange name and being completely clueless as to what could possibly be inside…but I knew I had to go in there. At… Read more »
H&M Home Collection
When H&M announced that online is finally available..I did a heck of a happy dance. Like one of my best happy dances ever. H&M has been one of my favorite stores since I was a freshman in college visiting Chicago for the first time. I spent hours wandering around H&M and even after I dropped wayyy too much money there was so much left that I wanted!! Of course being young and naive I thought I would just check… Read more »
Weekend Wrap Up & A Reality Check
I realize that I’m late, but my weekend was just too much fun and perfection for 3 days…I really needed an extra day to process! My husband Andrew and I spent the entire weekend in Okoboji, IA celebrating the wedding of our best friends. Obviously…I knew beforehand that the weekend was going to be one of absolute bliss…but my expectations were met, obliterated and then continuously exceeded throughout the entire weekend. The bride was gorgeous…I’m talking light up an entire… Read more »
Road Trip Playlist!
Have I mentioned yet how much I love music? Well, if I haven’t….I really, really love it. Let’s go ahead and put music right after coffee on my priority list! That being said…I spend an abnormal amount of time browsing Spotify and creating, what I believe to be, the best playlists ever. I create a playlist for everything…I mean, everything. I have cleaning playlists, bath playlists, car washing playlists, craft playlists, blog playlists, running playlists, cheer the hell up playlists….I… Read more »
Watching, Listening, Buying
This week has been a good kind of crazy! Lots of stuff going on and a really, really exciting weekend to look forward to! I can’t wait to fill you all in on that next week! 🙂 Unfortunately, that means that much of my blogging has been happening late at night…while Andrew is snoring and I haven’t had a whole lot of time to enjoy some of my favorite activities…there has been absolutely NO non-blog related reading…! So, let’s make… Read more »
Complexion Perfection
During my 20 month engagement…lol….I began a quest to develop the perfect skin care routine. I was certain that if I had to walk down the aisle with acne I would just lose my shit…so vain, I know. Lucky for me…about 5 months from the big day I seemed to have found the perfect fit. Expensive & time consuming…but extremely effective. Just recently while I was sitting in my hair stylists chair she gushed about the quality of my complexion… Read more »
Weekend Wrap Up & A Date Night
Well, that was the most beautiful weekend…ever. The weather was outrageously perfect and despite Andrew and I’s battle with allergies, every window in the house remained open the entire time. I learned something important this weekend; I believe it is a lesson that I am continually learning in several aspects of my life….and that lesson is… Keep It Simple. Why is that such a difficult concept for me to hang on to? It seems I have learned it a thousand… Read more »

Happy Friday!! Here are my favorite internet finds from the week. 1. Laughing Lottery Winner.
