Last Minute Halloween Mini-Haul!


Hi everyone!  This is kind of random, but I wanted to share with you some of the random things that I picked up from Target tonight after work!  Over the past three days, I have been in and out of the office and getting a feel for what we have room for and what we need at our desk.  This is just a couple of things that I briefly picked up to hold me over until I have time to grab things over the weekend.  Also in here I have a few Halloween goodies that you'll love (I'm sure!).



So I have to be honest, I wanted to rip open this huge, jumbo bag of Reese's and eat all of them myself on the way home, but I completely refrained.  They still haven't been opened and I have been home for hours!  I also picked up the Fiber One Brownies in Chocolate Chip Cookies which are only 90 calories, they are awesome!  The sweetness of the brownies are sometimes just what you need in the afternoon with some coffee to keep you going and it's only 90 calories, love it.  

Right below the Reese's (which are the most important thing in this mini haul actually) is an Embark Lunchbox.  Honestly, I thought the Embark brand was super expensive but when I went to the lunchbox aisle to pick one up (totally necessary for the office of course) I got mine for $4!  Can you believe that!?  I know this brand usually holds up pretty well, maybe I'll report back to you.

I also picked up some K-Cups to hold me over until I can get to Costco this weekend and get some more.  These will be good enough until I can grab the humungous box of about 50 (the more coffee, the better).  Starbucks, the darkest blend possible, is my favorite.  Whats your favorite blend, mine would have to be Kimono, but they didn't have it at Target.  

The Kellogg's Special K Bars are amazing.  I usually get the Strawberry ones that are 90 calories but these, for only 20 more calories are so much more filling and they taste delicious all while giving you some protein.  They have two varieties at my Target and I prefer the Peanut Butter to the Dark Chocolate.  I usually try to get anything with coconut but they always have so many calories.  Ugh, #firstworldproblems.  


Finally, I got this green and white baseball tee and these black pants (they are actually leggings but beautifully cut and brilliantly made with pockets, a zipper and a button).  I love the fit of the pants and they are so comfortable.  The only reason for the shirt purchase was because of a last minute Halloween costume.  I hadn't planned on dressing up but when I got to the office, the girls had an amazing idea and I had to tag along sense they invited me.  They were so nice in helping and including me and you will for sure find out what I was as soon as tomorrow rolls around!

I hope you guys enjoyed this quick, impromptu post full of fun things.  I just couldn't make it through the rest of the week without some K-Cups and bars at my desk so I grabbed them.  I can't wait to get a couple more things to make my desk feel like home and when I do, you will most definitely know about it!  What do you keep at your desk at work?  Send me a tweet or leave a comment below.  Be sure to also subscribe to my YouTube channel for more videos coming soon!  Thanks for reading!

Holy Exfoli...ants!


Hi everyone!  I very recently uploaded a random fall haul where I showed you mostly candles and a few other things.  For the past couple of days I have been using two of the products that act as brilliant exfoliants.  Like I said, it has only been a couple of days but I figured I would let you know that I am absolutely loving them both so far!


I love this foot scrub/exfoliant that is actually only for the feet.  Now you might be thinking that it's silly for me to clarify this, but I have found that most products in stores like Lush are exfoliants for the body, not just for the feet.  I have been having problems with the skin on my feet (super dry, TMI I know) for years and have never really found anything to help and this actually does.  I have noticed that my feet have even looked cleaner and more refreshed when I have used this product.  I hope that it continues to impress me but so far I will most definitely repurchase.  The best part?  The price tag only ran me right under $5.



I know I have talked about how much I love the scent of Eucalyptus Spearmint before because of the candle but this is the best you can possibly get.  This is the best way to relax after a long day at work.  The candle is amazing but being able to exfoliate with this amazing scent and close your eyes and take deep breaths while in the shower is the best feeling!  It may sound silly but this is the best shower experience, hands down!  Without the coupon that I had used (made the product free), the product would have been $14.  


Thanks so much for reading today's post.  I know that it was very brief but I had to let you know how I feel about the products.  What have you been loving for exfoliating especially now that the winter season is approaching!  Send me a tweet and let me know and you can always leave a comment below!

Pineapple Perfection - Clutching Onto Warmer Weather.


Hi everyone!  Click on the photo above to check out the video.  So I posted this video on my channel the other day but never got a chance to talk about it on the blog.  I was feeling so carefree this day as far as my outfit goes so I decided to just have some fun and enjoy what seems like the last bit of warmer weather that we had.  

I love this really light, melon-colored oxford from h&m paired with the pineapple tank that is also from h&m.  The two together are such a summery vibe and they just make me so happy.  I had my classic summer favorite sunnies by Rayban on and my rose gold MK to along with it.  The shorts were DIY denim cut-offs, nothing special but just comfy and so easy to relax in.  

I hope you guys like this super casual and relaxed outfit and be sure to tune in for some more outfits to be posted soon!  Send me a tweet and let me know what your last summery outfit was!  I want to know if we shared the same idea.  You can also leave a comment below.  Thanks for reading!

OOTD: 10/25, Fall Is Here.



Hi Everyone!  Today I decided to film my outfit because I loved it, usually that is always the reason.  Click on the photo above to be redirected to the video.  I had my last weekday off before my job starts and I have a celebration weekend to look forward to!  On Monday, I start the new job.  I cannot even begin to explain how excited, happy and thankful I am.  I hope you guys enjoy this fun look and maybe this weekend I will film some more of my casual looks.  I know for sure that I'll be filming or writing about my outfits in the office, so look forward to them soon.  


Thank you for reading you guys and make sure to check out my channel and subscribe, tweet me too!

Heels in Haute Hues

As I have previously mentioned, starting a new job requires several new things.  You know, the more important things in life like a new bag, shoes, wardrobe, travel coffee mug, makeup, things to decorate my desk/office.  While I have some classics, I just can't help but shake the feeling that I want new absolutely EVERYTHING for when I begin this job.  Acknowledging the fact that I (and probably most) just don't have the budget to randomly replace everything, we will most likely have to take it one step at a time.

My feelings for wanting to replace everything and start new aren't irrational though, right?  I deserve it. I worked harder than you'll ever know in school, graduated, got my degree with honors and searched/ interviewed HARD for nine months to finally get this job.  There is nothing like starting fresh and celebrating such an amazing accomplishment for getting this far and finally starting my life!  I could not be more happy (as you can I'm sure figure out by now).  

Next, after the bag, on my list is going to be the shoes.  I have some classics like I mentioned, but if I'm going to be wearing shoes like this everyday and for eight hours, I am going to have to invest in some more.  I can probably run in heels by now but I am sure I am going to have those days where I just wont want to wear heels and that's why I've included a flat option here.  There's also casual Friday, and who wants to be the one wearing heels on casual Friday (unless they're adorable and understated heeled booties or something).  


Melvinia, Aldo, $100
 I like the unexpected gold on this shoe.  Whenever I look to buy a new pair of black pumps, I always look for subtle things that make the shoe different and less boring.  If you have to wear a black pump everyday, you're going to have to try and jazz it up a little bit while keeping it appropriate for the office.

Galley Flat, Kate Spade, $180
In my eyes, these shoes are absolute perfection.  I normally don't tend to follow the fashion rules so I love a good winter white (starting in the fall).  Pairing these with an adorable skirt/dress and some solid or patterned tights will never hurt anyone and it is perfectly professional.  This design is just darling.

Sam&Libby Dominique, Target, $31.99

It's clear that probably the most attractive thing about this pair is the color, oh and the price tag!  Sam and Libby put out an adorable line at Target recently and I swooned over these wine colored, suede pumps!  I just love suede as a finish because it is sleek and understated making it professional and well put together.  Although oxblood/wine was major last year, it isn't going anywhere this year and I cannot wait to get my hands on these.  I will most likely pair them with a plain black dress for a great pop of color, or maybe I'll break them out for a holiday party?


Fancy Faux Suede, Forever 21, $32.80
These shoes are fantastic because they have the loafer look with an unexpected heel and color.  Emerald is another huge hue for the season and this shade is perfect.  Although it may be hard to wear these in the office, you can always pair them with a tan pant and an oxford/sweater combo or a plain dress of any complimentary color.  I cannot get enough of these.

No matter what you think you'll chose, I really want to try and grab all of these.  There are a couple of price points here, so put some on your Christmas list and buy some now to hold you over!  Send me a tweet and let me know what you think you'll be investing in.  These are just a few ideas and some inspiration for me, I will most likely look into some more (bad I know).  You can also feel free to leave a comment below.  Thank you so much for reading.
