New Read... My Winter Beauty: MUST HAVES: Purse Essentials Did I forget anything? What do you think?

I love winter for its grey/blue/white monochrome background and for its long cowl neck sweaters and thick wool scarves to battle the wild weather.

It’s officially “cold as balls” outside and even though we are technically still in Fall I feel like Winter is Here. And she’s here to stay! *snap and a twist. So that means I need to prepare my purse for war and bundle up with some of my favorite…

One Year in the Making

Exactly one year ago I was looking for new personal endeavors and debating with my Zambian bestfriend on whether I should take the leap and create a blog. *SIDENOTE: I feel everyone in the world deserve such a loving and nurturing friend like my Siobhain.

However, a friendly email changed all of that in a matter of minutes. *SIDE NOTE: Isn’t it amazing how one little gesture can transform your day into the best one possible or the worst experience ever.

The Argument

Today, I was determined to fight this rain storm with all of my might. While waiting outside, chic plastic umbrella in hand I knew that today I would not get wet.

Check out my new post..The Awkward Girl: Is This Why Im so Lonely?

The awkward lonely girl that lives inside of me. 

I have always been a social butterfly by nature it’s something that I enjoy but personally I’ve always been a loaner.
