Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. You don’t need a Valentine to bring you chocolates and wine. Treat yourself to one of these gifts instead.

While some of the country is experiencing an incredibly rare Polar Vortex, here in Arizona it is 75 and sunny. Well, maybe a chance of rain. But I’ve decided on 6 of my winter wardrobe essentials because why not?

I can’t believe January is hours away from being over. I’m bringing back the Monthly Edit so enjoy everything you need to know about fashion, life, and even the Super Bowl.

Enjoy another volume of What I’m Listening To. This one heavily features new music released over the last few weeks, but also some sprinkles of other tracks that have caught my ear. Consider it all the important music you need to know about right now in one handy place.

I have at least 4 pairs of black jeans of varying styles. Ultimately I just really like how black jeans and slim black pants pull an outfit together. They can look laid back, dressed up, or nearly anywhere in between.

I get asked about my hair a lot. Even my hair dresser refuses to cut it above a certain length despite having so much fun dying it from time to time (it’s been every color of the rainbow). So much so i’m starting to feel like it’s my best feature. Okay, maybe that’s being a little overdramatic.

If there is one thing everyone knows about me, it is that I enjoy being clean, tidy, and organized. This year I decided I wanted to kick off the year in a new place. Not a new place physically, but a place that could give me a better mindset for the year ahead. But as I settled into the new year I could feel like nothing but a cluttered mess. I took stock of what I needed and set out to get rid of everything that was no longer serving me. Sure, I’ve written about my spring cleaning a few times, but this was much earlier than expected and very needed.

Well, this blog has become more of a playlist only blog hasn’t it? It’s 10 days into the new year and I am feeling completely burnt out. I’m hoping this changes soon and we can get back to regularly scheduled blog programing. I managed to put together some songs from last year I never shared in a playlist and some new ones that have caught my ears over the last few days.

While the last 365 days weren’t always the greatest, there was one thing I could always rely on: music. So keeping up with tradition I’ve compiled my favorite music of 2018 all in one place. It took awhile and a bit of going back and forth about skipping it altogether, but here it is: my favorite albums and songs of 2018.
