I created my fifth "Vlog" for YouTube over the weekend, but hesitated to upload it because I couldn't pick a song for the background.

Is it cliche to start blogging about goals on January 1? Probably. If your social media feed is anything like mine, you have been overloaded with highlights of 2018 and intentions for 2019 for the past couple of days.

Today, I didn't get a drink myself because I decided to take the month of November to abstain from Starbucks and alcohol. I … Continue reading Winging It

I'm mad because I had a whole night to myself with ambitious plans of being productive and tackling a to-do list. And … Continue reading Slumber Party

There is no age limit on dressing up in over-the-top costumes.  In fact, I WELCOME any excuse to go a little elaborate on my outfit an makeup! When I was younger, probably between 7 years old and 13, one of my absolutely favorite things to do on the weekends was play with my mom's makeup. … Continue reading Playing Dress Up Never Ends
