Big Birthday!

· an over-the-top lust list ·

Today is my birthday (and it’s a big one)! Last night, my husband, sister, and brother-in-law surprised me with a night in NYC, complete with dinner, drinks, and gifts!

Book Blast 36: 5-Star Rated

· a group of all-time favorites ·

I love my Goodreads app for so many reasons, mainly to keep track of books that I want to read and those that I have already finished. I also like that the app asks users to rate books on a scale of 1-5 stars. Since I sometimes can’t even remember if I’ve read a certain…

Perfect Polish: Summer Reds

· the return of Essie's "Clambake" ·

Recently I learned that one of my favorite Essie summer red nail polish hues had returned (albeit briefly) after four years as a discontinued color. Clambake came back for a few months this past spring and was available only at CVS. In case you haven’t tried this cult classic yet, it is described as the…
