For years I had an overwhelming sense of anxiety when I thought of stepping out in public without make up. I was pretty blessed growing up that I never had terrible acne, but there was always some imperfection I wanted to hide. Or I thought I was too plain, or my eyebrows were too blonde. Always something. This also led to some years of bad experimentation with brow pencils and eyeliner. But this week I decided to make a leap of faith and free my skin. My rules: No foundation

Fall is here! Well maybe not specifically in Philly, I'm still sweating here (boob sweat is all too real y'all). But I'm hopeful it'll cool down soon because fall is my absolute FAVORITE season. I'll try not to be too basic but I'm excited about pumpkin everything, I already have two fall candles, and I've made a super healthy apple crumble. But with fall comes a new Tone It Up challenge that I'm embarking upon! If you haven't heard of Tone It Up, please visit their website.

Morning everyone! I'd like to share my thoughts on Monday: ​​ Accurate. Sadly the weekend is over, RIP sleeping until brunch, but I hope you all had a great time!

I discovered in college that I'm really good under pressure. In fact, some of my best work or ideas come out of urgency. Yesterday I got to put my somewhat useful skill to use. I ususally plan my day out hourly, but I didn't schedule any time for disaster to strike. I had my day planned to a T... I would wake up, work out, go to Trader Joe's, all before 1 o'clock. It was very practical. Until my roommate texted me mid-workout that the exterminator would be coming this afterno

As any unemployed post-grad would, I've been a tad nostalgic about college lately. One thing I miss more than usual is crafting (sorority girls you have my back on this right?). One winter break I genuinely spent 3 full days crafting for the little that I didn't even have yet. Needless to say there's been a void in my life without the need to whip out a fresh bottle of Mod Podge and throw some glitter at someone. ​ ​​ I was sitting in the bathroom scrolling through Instagram
