30 Things About Me

When I first thought about my birthday post for this year, I initially had the idea to do "30 Things I've Learned..." as a follow-up to last year's "29 Things..." post. But then I thought about it and realized I'd have listed 59 lessons in 2 years and I've only been around for 30. lol Not saying I haven't learned 59 lessons throughout my life, I think I've learned a ton, but to be truthful I...

What I've Been Watching: January

This month I didn't watch too many new things. When I was watching Netflix this month, for the most part I was rewatching series rather than trying out new ones, but there were a few that caught my interest. I'm sure you're relieved that for once, the length of this post won't be the same size as a novel, but I'm sure that'll change for February's edition. So enjoy it while it lasts. lol Corrupt...

Alina Skincare Review + Experience

Hi! My first review of 2017 is a skincare brand I recently tried out and wanted to share with you. I've been testing the products out for about a month now to see how my experience was with both the products I used and the brand overall. I'll start with explaining how I got the products, then get to the rest of the review. Okay, so keeping in agreement with my Empty Pockets contract, I'm subscribed...

2016 In Review: Part 2

Here is the second part of my 2016 in review questions. This block of questions deals with a bit of everything, from career moves to family relationships, positive influences, topics researched and habits learned. This one was more fun for me to answer, as it delved into more of the positive things that came from the year as opposed to the deeper ones, which have sadder or more negative answers....
