I have been absolutely addicted to coffee and tea shops. I think there is something so beautiful about chatting with a friend over a warm drink in a coffee shop or making a hot tea whilst blogging in bed.  I love me some Starbucks, but some of the greatest drinks I have had and my absolute favorites are at the unique, quirky, non-chain shops. These kind of shops are the ones that have funky names for their seasonal beverages, really personable employees, and organic teas galore. They are the kind that give you a mug instead of a cardboard cup. Some of my favorites include Connecticut Muffin in Brooklyn NY, The Root Café in Cleveland, Drip in Madison, epistrophy in Soho, The Drawing Room in Greenwich, and Carluccio's in Cambridge.  I also realized whilst thinking about this and deciding to do a blog post about it, that I seem to like to photograph my tea or coffee A LOT. Here are some of the photos I found from the past year: So anyway, moral/point o...

Hello! I had such a great New Year's Eve and I hope you did too!  I spent the night with some of my best friends (all from high school) and it was amazing to be with all of them. We have made our party a tradition and I love it every year. They are all incredible people and I would not be the person I am today if it weren't for their friendships. I was so happy to ring in the new year with them by my side. I wouldn't have wanted it any other way :) So, here are some pictures, including the makeup I wore and fun pics with friends using my new camera which I am in love with!  MANY SNAPS WERE SENT THROUGH OUT THE NIGHT.... Happy New Year to you all <3  2k14 is going to be a good one.  xx 

Hello everyone!  So I saw this idea on Pinterest to start the new year off with an interesting project: Starting January 1st, take an empty jar and fill it with notes of good things that happen throughout the year. These can be anything from accomplishing goals, memories worth saving, funny moments with friends, surprise gifts, etc. Then, next New Year's Eve, empty it and see all the awesome things that happened that year.  I am going to give this a whirl and hopefully have the jar over-flowing by next New Year's Eve :) Do you think you will try this too?  xx

Hello everybody! Happy Blogmas Day 25 :)  I am pretty sure that I am in heaven right now! I got my dream camera - the Rebel EOS TSi (600D) - from my parents this morning and I couldn't be happier.  I just thought I would show you some of my gifts. I hope that you had an amazing day as well! Merry Christmas  ♥

Happy Blogmas Day 24! I am so excited because technically it is Christmas as I write this at a bit past midnight. I have had a wonderful Christmas Eve and I cannot wait for more good times in the morning. Here are just a few pics to show you what my day has been like: I watched Veronica Mars for several hours this morning... it was very stressful but amazing as usual. For any V Mars fans out there, I watched Season 3 Episode 9 - OH MY GOD.... enough said.  Then I got ready with all of this makeup... I used my new Sephora Baked palette and I am already in love with it! My little sister, my mom, and I took a few cute photos.  We then went to my uncle's for my mom's side of the family party! This photo is of my little sister, my dad, my older brother, and me :) After the party we went to Christmas mass at my church. Then home and watched several home videos we made as kids and then all split off to our rooms for bed! I better go to sleep soon because when...
