Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone! Hope you're all having a lovely day and maybe enjoying some Green Mint White Hot Chocolate? I thought it only fitting that this City Spotlight post was about one of the prettiest place I've visited in Ireland! When I traveled throughout Europe a few years ago one of our final stops was in Adare, Ireland. I'd heard this small village in County Limerick was a must and since it was on the way to our last city we figured why not! It’s a designated Heritage ...
Green Mint White Hot Chocolate
So technically I was finished with my hot chocolate posts, but I couldn't help but post one more! It's nearly St. Patrick's Day so why not make a festive cup to celebrate! As you know, simple is the way to go, so all you need is a mug full of milk, peppermint extract, white chocolate and green food coloring. Pour the milk into a pan on low heat, stirring to keep it from burning. While heating the milk place your white chocolate into a bowl to melt in the microwave. Once it's melted ...

Bioderma Has Made it to the US – Review
The moment I found out Beautylish had started selling Bioderma I may have done a little dance. I had been wanting to try the famous French make-up remover ever since I heard some of my favorite UK Youtubers singing it's praises. I had debated buying it from international websites, but the shipping prices always made me pause. But now it's finally here in the States! First of all, can we talk about how cute Beautylish's packaging is? I really love when a company goes beyond simple ...
February Favorites
Happy March everyone! Spring is almost here! Or at least I hope so, currently we're experiencing freezing rain here in Ohio and it's supposed to snow again tomorrow. It's not that I mind the snow, it's just the having to leave the house when there's snow thing. Anyway, I thought I'd do my first monthly favorites post! This month's favorites are all newer purchases (aside from the eye shadow palette and Jo Malone perfume sample) that I'm really enjoying! Pura d'or: If you didn't catch my ...
How I Traveled to 7 Countries for a Month for Under $5,000
I still remember when my friend Julia (from Gracefully Julia, you must check out her page!) and I first started talking about traveling in Europe after she graduated. We made a list of all the places we wanted to go and figured out how long, two months maybe? My parents just laughed it off, they were certain it would never happen. I had a job at the time and quitting really wasn’t an option after my trouble finding a job the last time I returned from Europe (Read all about that lovely ...
