These are so late that I almost didn’t post. ALMOST. But I figured, why not? April: Boxed Wine: So I might have fallen into the quarantine trap of drinking wine every single night… and afternoon. I’m kicking the habit now but if I’m being honest this was pretty high up there in April! Milano Cookies – I didn’t eat much in April, being a tad bit depressed. One thing I did munch on was these cookies. I may have suffered from a decreased appetite, but even then I didn’t want to miss dessert! Ahava Hydration Cream Mask – Did anyone

Five Favorite Things – March 2020 (Super Late Edition!)
Essential Workers – Anybody who is going out to fulfill much needed job roles during this time get ALL of my love. Doctors, nurses, custodians, childcare workers, grocery clerks, gas station attendants and everyone in-between, I love you. Toilet Paper – After enduring several weeks of wondering if toilet paper would be in stock when I needed it again, I have grown to appreciate this commodity much, much more. God bless the almighty TP. Baking Supplies – Having a stockpile of flour, sugar, baking soda and the like has been a gift for the fiancé and I, especially when it
Five Favorite Things – February 2020
My Kitten Callie – I adore her. She has conversations with me and demands to know where I am if she can’t find me. She’s obsessed with giving me cuddles and likes sleeping on top of my head. She loves her sister and makes everyone happy with her instant purring! My Kitten Evie – Evie just wants to make sure every one is happy. Furthermore, she likes to sleep in my bed under the covers with head poking out and everything. Do you know how insanely adorable this is?! She greets me with a giant “MEOW!” every time I come
Five Favorite Things – January 2020 (Super Late Edition!)
My Engagement Ring – This will probably be on every favorites list forever and ever. How could it not be? It symbolizes so much love! The Great Gatsby – My latest acquisition to my collection of leather-bound books. As a result, I am currently reading all about the woes of Gatsby and his tangled attractions to Ms. Daisy Buchanan. My Wall of Prints – So I have zero capabilities of hanging pictures straight — BUT, I had to give it my best (lopsided) effort. I picked these prints up in New York City and finally got around to framing them.
Five Favorite Things – December 2019
Our Record Player – We finally had the good sense to purchase a record player for all the LPs we were randomly collecting. Yes, we had been collecting vinyl for well over a year before deciding we should probably have something to play them on. The music quality is insane and the only way to listen to Adele is on this baby. It’s an experience. Kerastase Magic Night Serum – Talk about the ultimate leave in treatment! Leaves my hair feeling thoroughly conditioned and less like I’ve fried it with hair dye and straighteners. My hair feels… healthy! and manageable?!
Five Favorite Things – November 2019
My hair transformation. It is changing my lifestyle and making me feel like an Instagram model. Pretty soon I’ll be doing bougie things and talking with an accent. The Burberry Kilt – I ordered this kilt off of Poshmark and I adore that it both fits and looks ridiculously cute. Add that it was affordable for what it is helped make this a total home run for me. These Maple Oatmeal Scones I made. I don’t even like scones but these were so delicious that I mean to make an extra batch. They are everything a scone is supposed to
5 Favorite Things – October 2019
Seneca Naturals Oatmeal Soap Bar – This has been so gentle to my pissed off skin that I can’t even tell you what a relief it was to use this in the shower. The gentle exfoliation has also been a bit of a game changer to my skin’s health. Deborah Lippmann Venus in Furs Nail Polish – This is so vampy and delicious, its been totally appropriate for the fall weather and the spooky vibes of Halloween. MAC Matte Lipstick in Kinkster – I truly did not expect to actually wear this as often as I have, but it’s fall
Five Favorite Things – September 2019
Slip Silk Pillowcase – I can’t get over how great this is. Helps your skin and hair just by falling asleep on it?! Yes, please! This is definitely pricier than other silk pillowcases on the market, but I promise you I can feel the difference in quality. This is far ahead of its other competitors. GHD Platinum Hair Straightener – I wrote about this as being one of those ridiculously priced beauty gadgets that I spent money on but… I really like it. It makes my hair look almost healthy. AND, it straightens better and faster than any other flatiron
Five Favorite Things – August 2019
Olaplex Hair Perfector No. 3 – I cannot stress enough how much this saved my hair from turning into straw this summer. From going blonder to living my life in the sun, this kept it looking healthy, shiny, and oh-so-chic. My hair would be a goner if it wasn’t for this. MAC LipMix in Red – I CAN NOT GET ENOUGH. This red is everything I want a red to be. I’ve worn it this summer and you can bet everything that this will be my go-to holiday red when the winter season comes around! FitBit Charge HR 2 –
Five Favorite Things – July 2019
It seems ALL my favorites this month involve beating the sun and surviving traveling! Totally apropos for my lifestyle in the month of July! The Sunhat – I’ve already waxed poetic about this straw hat but I truly do love it! It’s fashionable and helped keep my face and scalp from getting scorched by the sun. Bonus points for all the compliments I got while wearing it! This old H&M bucket bag – I dug this out of the bowels of my closet and its been the perfect little bag to lug around lakes and beaches. Plus, I love the design on
