A Week With Fake Nails

*This post is not sponsored or gifted in any way. Opinions are my own and products linked do not support any company.

As a girl who’s never had a manicure, you can imagine my cuticles look like something out of a horror film. I’ve just never been into doing my nails. I had a small fling with nail polish in college, but that just ended 20 bottles of nail polish that are accumulating dust. But as I enter the adult world and spend a lot of time needing to look more put together – and stop picking my nails during conversations – I knew it was time to find a new tactic to my gruesome nail look. And that’s when I discovered press-on nails.

My Go-To Potluck Recipes

So after years of being the laziest cook and also liking to blow minds when I show up, I have perfected and am sharing my favourite potluck recipes. You can thank me later.

Best of September 2019

Today is the last day of my favourite month of the year, and I am not ready to let it go. September is filled with nostalgia and crisp fall mornings and it’s the start of the best season of the year. And while I am ending it with a cold, it was still an excellent month.

The Importance of Self-Care (And How I Unwind)

This past week I canceled on two events. It’s not something I’m particularly proud of, but it’s the first time in a year I have done so. It was a habit I thought I had broken. But upon further reflection I realized it wasn’t because I was being lazy, it was because I was burnt out. Enter self-care.

Best of August 2019

Wow, August was a doozy. A little heartbreak, a lot of stress, and a fair amount of fun came in this month and while I won’t be asking for a remake, I appreciate the lessons this month has taught me. If there’s one thing that my faith has assured me, it’s that when we listen to our struggles, we find our strengths.

Inside My Makeup Bag

One of my favourite things to do when getting ready with friends is look inside their makeup bag. You never know what hidden gem you didn’t know you needed will be in there. And while I’m usually the one recommending products, if I see an intriguing blush in your bag, I’m probably going to buy it.

My Improved Morning Routine

I have always been a morning person. I was the first to wake up at sleepovers, and was always up watching VH1 at 5am while my dad worked out. It’s a big part of who I am. But even the most morning-est morning person needs a routine, or the whole point of getting up early is ruined. As an adult, I have had to shift how I spend my mornings, but I think I’ve finally figured it out. Mornings are about relaxing, energizing, and getting out of the door at the right time. Here’s how I do it!

Best Buys of June 2019

I buy stuff. All of the time. As an Enthusiast, buying and trying things is kind of the basis of who I am as an individual. Of course this means my bathroom is completely overloaded, there’s no room in my closet, and I may need to storing things in my car, but I am living my best life.
