The rest is pull-out-your-hair, holy crap why won’t you listen to me, NO I’M SERIOUS YOU NEED TO BRUSH YOUR TEETH LIKE ***NOW*** frustrating. But the cute stuff sure does make up for all the craziness. ;)Today I wanted to talk […]

So, let’s talk. The whole purpose of me blogging and writing is to share real life stories with you.

This is not an exaggeration: 30% of my closet is comprised of t-shirts and other super simple tops. There is nothing I love more than a classic tee with great-fitting denim. It’s low key chic. But sometimes, that look can get a little boring. And that’s when we need some help. Enter–my go-to accessories to […]

Back when I was young (someone throw me a cane and some dentures, please), we had two options to choose from at the DRUG STORE, people… No Sephora… Just Phar-Mor.
