Holiday Nails

For being someone who ADORES doing my nails, I never actually have time to do my nails. I love trying out new designs and looking up tutorials online, but I feel like I never am able to find time in the day to set aside to do one of my most relaxing activities. Such a shame, right?! Well, I managed to find time (aka when I should’ve been studying for a final – do as I say, not as I do, please!!) and came up with this cute look!

Finding Strength in Suffering

I think the most ironic part about being a psychology major is that you are constantly learning the warning signs, symptoms, devastations, recoveries, and prevalence of mental illness – yet you are so oblivious to being able to notice them developing within yourself. I guess that’s just one of the flaws that comes with being human – we will never see ourselves entirely accurately. When you think about it, the only true reflections we have of ourselves are our mirrors and the people we surround ourselves with.

Gluten-Free Eating in Central NJ – My Top Picks

Going out to eat always has (and always will be) a guilty pleasure of mine. It’s not just about the food itself – but the atmosphere, the company, and the experience. It’s my favorite way to socialize – who doesn’t like conversation and cuisine?! Growing up, my sisters and I had always been the type to try new places to eat and look for ways to expand our palettes. It started to become a hobby and a dedication for us.

Hello, my dears! Happy Almost-Thanksgiving! Hopefully, today is the day most of us get to leave to go home. I don’t know about you, but this break is WAY overdue. The first thing I’m doing when I get home is pet my chocolate lab and have a glass of wine (or three).

Denim Factor

Hi, everyone! Long time no talk. So, I know I usually open these with, “These last few weeks have been insane – blah blah blah”, but they really truly have been. I’m the busiest I have ever been in my life, and trying to accomplish everything on time is a balancing act to say the least. Full agenda aside – I was able to get some down time this weekend and put together a shoot for you guys!

5 Things to Remember for Getting Through the Rut

I am going to be honest here and say that I’m writing this post for myself just as much as I’m writing it for you all. If there’s something I’ve realized in the past year, it’s that essentially nothing is in your control at this age. Granted, my personal situation may differ from that of others, but we’re all on the same page in terms of being about to enter the real world. This means making our own life choices, choosing our paths, fulfilling our own destinies – you get the picture. That being said, it’s pretty easy (and almost inevitable) to get pulled down and feel like you’re stuck. hopefully these tips will help you if you’re in the same boat as I am.

There have been a few instances in my life in which I have been jet lagged, but nothing will top The Australia Trip. I did everything you’re NOT supposed to do, which resulted in jet lag my entire trip and the remainder of the month when I got back to the U.S. I was determined to avoid jet lag during my most recent trip to Europe, and I succeeded! I knew my first week back was going to be incredibly busy at work, so I needed to be 100% on board and not distracted by something avoidable, like jet lag.
