When multiple people recommend you read the same book, you should probably go and read it. After finding it on sale at Target, I dumped it into the cart and added it to the stack of to-read next to my bed. When packing for a conference earlier this month, I shoved it into my bag, hoping I would get the chance to start it.

How does one describe an indescribable experience? Lol, obviously, it is pretty hard. But let me backup and start from the beginning. Last fall when I first heard about the upcoming conference, I knew from the few local Style Collective meetups I had gotten to attend, that it was something I did not want to miss. What I did not realize, months later, when I impulsively purchased the non-refundable ticket, was just how much it really was worth.

If you've been following along for a while, I'm sure you are well aware of the graduation situation that happened last December (And if not you can read about it here). Well here is the latest and greatest of the saga. After the back and forth calls with the COBA Dean, it was all on the graduation coordinator. It took around three weeks to get everything sorted out and my graduation official. But obviously, it was worth it.

Amazing what a new coat of paint can do. A month ago, my sister moved out. In out twenty odd years, neither of us have ever had our own room or place. So it was (and is) good for the both of us. I knew that regardless of when she was going to actually move out, the room was going to get repainted. It was time to get rid of that lavender purple, our high school selves picked out.

Couple weeks ago, we got invited to a styled bridal shoot for Balacia. They wanted to get their current collection photographed, before the May launch of their next collection. And not going to lie, the dress, I got to wear was by far everyone's favorite! The sleeves were so different and the dress as a whole was very fairy tale like.

Heartache is one of the weirdest emotions one can feel (at least in my own opinion), exactly like the name, part of your heart contracts and makes it hard for blood to pass through, thus ache. Recently, it kept me up all night, making it hard to breath and continued on and off for the next week. I was going to say it's been a while since feeling that way, but honestly? I have never ever felt it like that. It was like part of me died on the inside and I was walking around numb for the next few days. I legit cannot get him out of my mind - ha I mean does anyone stay up for HOURS thinking of someone? 😬

Good quality skin care should be an important investment for every women - regardless of age - because we all only get one face and there is only so much damage that can get repaired from years of UV, and pollutant exposure. Going beyond just the necessities of cleanser and moisturizer, these ... items will boost your skincare regimen to the next level.

Every hair stylist would tell you every time you use heat on your hair (hair dryer included), to use a heat protectant! Both styling and heat tools can cause damaging results to your hair - this includes split ends, weakness, roughness, dullness, and dehydration. It had been a year without a hair cut and my hair was starting to break and was covered in split ends.
