The day I said “I do” I’ve always had my whole future mapped out since I was a little girl. I would find my prince charming, graduate college, get married, get a job, and then have children. Of course the plans we have for ourselves don’t always go as planned. My husband and I met as freshman in college. After dating a few years, we realized that we wanted to spend the rest of our lives together. On May 27, 2014 I got engaged. After we got engaged we started talking about when we…
I had every intention of this blog post being a beauty one, I promise. I have my divine Charlotte Tilbury Sculpting Duo perched next to me, sparkling, perfectly poised to be photographed (and raved about for that matter). But after sitting here for fifteen precious nap-time minutes with my fingers lingering over the keys, while my tea slowly becomes undrinkable, I just can’t muster the motivation or passion to write about make up. I feel like I want to write something, but something that isn’t…

I woke up late and rushed to pack my suitcase, grab some cash, and make it to the airport in time for my flight to Montreal. My Uber driver was on point, getting me to FLL with time to spare. I breezed through security, grabbed some coffee, and jumped on the plane like a boss. Three and a half hours later, my flight landed safely at YUL. As I was going through customs I noticed that the officers were being especially invasive. "Where are you coming from? Where are going? How long will you be…

The pain just kept rising; I just…
