Book of the Month Reviews: Spring 2018

June 18, 2018 by Melanie

It follows Will Dando, a musician who suddenly receives hundreds of predictions from the future in a dream. With the help of his friend, he sets up a website (known as "the Site") and ...

Belated Post-Move Post

May 2, 2018 by Melanie

Better late than never, right? Almost 2 weeks ago Steve and I finally moved into our house in South Jersey! Everything with the move went pretty smoothly. Jesse was surprisingly subdued, though he took a little time to adjust to the new place. Now he's fairly comfortable. His favorite spots are ...

Redken No Blow Dry Air Dry Cream

March 30, 2018 by Melanie

I'm on a roll with this blogging thang lately! I just purchased a couple new products from Redken, one of which is this No Blow Dry (or "NBD" as they call it) cream. I've been a pretty loyal Redken fan over the past year or so (their shampoo and conditioner in the All Soft line which is my ...

NEW IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Foundation vs Your Skin But Better CC Cream

March 9, 2018 by Melanie

Hello all! Recently I purchased the new Bye Bye Foundation Full Coverage Moisturizer from IT Cosmetics. I'm a pretty loyal "IT girl" (I've been using their Your Skin But Better CC Cream for awhile, and also their moisturizer and cleanser).

Yay House!

February 21, 2018 by Melanie

Hello loves! Another monthly update. I'm happy to report that Steve and I have found a house to rent! We are moving in mid-April and I am, quite literally, counting down the weeks. Almost 8 ;) April will be a bit nuts due to moving, our 2 birthdays, a wedding, and perhaps a cat convention ...

FabFitFun Box Winter 2017

December 7, 2017 by Melanie

My last FabFitFun! This box wasn't bad, but definitely confirms that its not something I make total use of. I usually use about 3 of the products in these boxes regularly, while the rest just kind of sit around my apartment. I will say that all of the products are always excellent quality ...

De-Cluttering & NYC

November 29, 2017 by Melanie

Its a post that isn't about a subscription box! =O Speaking of subscription boxes, I'll be honest with you...I'm unsubscribing from the majority of them (save for Book of the Month, which I actually use). I've already unsubbed from Ellie...while it was great, my workout schedule as of late has ...

Ellie Box (October)

October 20, 2017 by Melanie

Its Ellie Box time! I've been limiting these to every quarter (due to expense but also because I haven't been to the gym in like...a month? eek!). Also really excited because Ellie now has a less expensive 3-item plan where you only receive the clothing items instead of the 2 other workout gear ...
