I didn't count how many books I finished this year but it was a ton so here are the best books I read in 2025! Have you read any of these? And what were your favorite books of the year? Please let me know so I can add them to my list! My Favorite Books of 2025 Atmosphere I love nearly all of Taylor Jenkins Reid’ novels and this one was no exception. She writes emotion and love so well that you can connect so much to the characters’ feelings in a meaningful way. Joan has been obsessed with space

As someone who has loved makeup for nearly 20 years, the most important part of how my makeup looks is a direct result of how I take care of my skin. There is only so much that makeup can do in terms of helping achieve radiant or glowing skin - most of that has to come from your lifestyle and the products you use to maintain your skin. Everyone's skin is different and so much can affect the skin but if you are wanting to achieve a natural glow to your face, there are some simple steps that you can

Outfit details: Coat | Jeans | Boots | Bag | Sunglasses Friday Finds 1.9 1. Unique and interesting coats are my weakness because I love how they can become the entire outfit. This reversible cropped trench is one of the coolest styles I've seen in a while. Great to wear into spring! 2. How chic is this fitted knit jacket with the ruffle collar?!! Great for the workplace too. 3. I have a filtered water pitcher at home that everyone uses but it's never big enough and we have to refill it constantly. I ordered this larger one so we

I used to get the worst seasonal depression during the cold winter months. I was miserable and felt unmotivated and sad until Spring. But over the past few years, I have completely reframed how I think about winter and the things I do during these months. And as a result, winter has now become my (second) favorite season of the entire year. I really leaned into slowing down and immersing myself in things that make me happy. November and December are the months of giving but I call January the "month of me". I don't focus on resolutions or a

Everything I Read in November/December 2025 1. Intermezzo This had been on my TBR (to be read) list for more than a year so I finally decided to give it a go. Sadly, I could barely get through a quarter of it and had to decide not to finish. It is painfully slow and I could not get into it which was such a disappointment because it was given such great reviews. I usually love a book about family dynamics and the nuances that come with that. But unfortunately, this was one of the few exceptions. Rating: DNF 2. The

It's officially winter and everything on my body feels dry. My skin, my hair and especially my lips. I have products that help my lips stay hydrated all year long but I need to amplify the routine in the winter to avoid dry, cracked lips. You may have a line-up of dry skin products to help your face and body stay moisturized throughout the winter, but using products specifically for the lips is key. This blog post will be a guide on how to keep your lips hydrated effectively and the products I like to use to help with this.

The older I get the less makeup I can wear because it can show too much texture and look unnatural on my aging skin. It's more important than ever to find the right complexion products that will provide the performance I want while not working against my mature skin. When it comes to concealer especially, my options seem to be less and less because so many make my under eye area look worse as the day goes on. When I find one that really impresses me, I have to share it with all of you! I've reviewed a few of

It's officially boot season and I could not be more excited! I have more pairs of boots in my closet than I care to admit so I wear them all season long to get my money's worth. LOL Especially when it gets cold, wearing flats with my jeans won't cut it. I have a mix of boot styles in my closet - both knee high boots and ankle boots but tend to reach for ankle boots more when I'm wearing jeans. A simple classic pair of ankle boots with go with just about any pair of  jeans. For me a
