Oh yes, Reese's Hot Chocolate! Welcome to a short little series for the month of February, I'm going to be posting a new hot chocolate recipe every Sunday! They're all quite simple to make and so delicious! For this one you need two ingredients. That's it really. I used a fat free milk, but I'm sure whole milk or whatever you have would work just fine. The moment I saw the new Reese's spread I knew I had to try it in a hot chocolate. It's a perfect blend of peanut butter and chocolate and ...
January Birchbox – Review
I subscribe to two monthly beauty subscription services and I have to say I think Birchbox is my favorite. For $10 a month you get to try samples of new products, from makeup to skincare to chocolate. I love the boxes, I use them for makeup storage and they have super cute designs. I especially like that they always give a little card explaining the product and how to use it. I’m the type of person that has to read the directions and many times the minis you get in the box don’t have much ...
Rimmel London Provocalips – Review & Swatches
Last week I stopped into Ulta and finally found the new Rimmel Provocalips collection. It’s a liquid lipstick which is supposed to last 16 hours thanks to a clear gloss you apply over the color. I picked up two and decided to put them to the test! You start out with step one: the color. It applies rather nicely, one swipe is very pigmented and the doe foot applicator makes things even easier. Next they suggest that you don’t let your lips touch for 60 seconds while the lipstick dries. ...
The Worst Decision I Ever Made: to Study Abroad
Alright, I admit, the title of this one is a bit misleading. But I want to be completely honest about my study abroad experience and talk about the highs and lows, specifically when I returned home. The moment I stepped onto US soil, I was ready to go back to Europe. I didn’t have a job lined up, foolish on my part I know. I didn’t want to worry about searching for a job before I left for London, I was already stressed out enough. So instead I told myself that as soon as I got back I’d start ...
City Spotlight: Prague, Czech Republic
Whenever I mentioned to someone that I would be traveling to Prague they told me it would soon become one of my favorite places. And they certainly were correct. Out of all the new cities I visited on my month long trip, Prague was my absolute favorite. It was one of the most beautiful cities to photograph. The history, the architecture, the colors; it was simply stunning. We arrived in Prague by train from Vienna, then took a cab to the place we’d be staying for two short days. We rented ...
Lush’s Golden Wonder – Review
While up in Connecticut visiting my sister two weeks ago I did a bit of stocking up at Lush since unfortunately the closest one to me is about two hours away. I cannot get enough of their bath bombs! The first one I tried was the Butterball and from then on I was hooked. They're just so lovely and make taking a bath less of a bore. The first of the bath bombs I decided to try out is Golden Wonder, it's shaped like a tiny gift wrapped in a bow and if you shake it you'll hear a bit of ...
