New Zealand: On the Other Side of the World, But Right Next to My Heart

It took me two days to get there, but visiting New Zealand with James was well worth the trip.

They Got Me (Ordering *Trendy* Clothes from MissPap for the First Time)
/
I’ll be the first to admit that I’m a sucker for a social media ad or an influencer sponsorship and I don’t even mind. Some of my FAVORITE purchases of all time have come from some Instagram girly or some random brand account somewhere serving me an ad - and this impulse purchase was no different.

/
We’re home! What a lovely weekend it ended up being. Such a sad feeling when Monday finally rolls back around again, but at least we made some great memories to get us through another week. So, as promised, for today’s Blogmas Day 9, I thought I’d share some more snaps and thoughts about mine and Ethan’s trip up north to Charlevoix.

HelloFresh Delivers - In More Ways Than One!
/
Sometimes moms come up with some great ideas, and this was one of them.
A few months back my loving and resourceful mother suggested to me and Ethan that we look into food delivery services so that we could be more fiscally responsible - rather than eating out almost every night. Also because it’s healthier for you and, as we’d soon discover, more fun and convenient than trying to shop for groceries and cooking our own food from scratch.

One of the COOLEST perks of doing this is the occasional opportunity to work with some really cool companies and brands to showcase their awesome products.
I've done product reviews before on my blog, so many of you know the drill. I try and be as authentic and genuine as possible when shouting out to a company. I want you all to know my honest thoughts so you can make the best judgements for yourself about what to try and buy.
Having that little disclaimer out of the way, let's jump right into the product for today, shall we?
Read More10 Planners For Getting Your Life Together
/
Like many other multi-tasking, Type-A folks out there, I love a good planner. It doesn’t help that I have a burning passion for stationary alone, but when you combine stationary with my love of organization, it’s easy to see why a well-filled-out planner tops my list of life’s simple pleasures. Right now, I’m on a pretty intense self-improvement kick and I’ve been spending some serious time researching journals and planners to help me get where I want to go more effectively along the way. So, why not share some of my discoveries with you all? Hopefully, you’ll find the planner of your dreams, too.
Here are the best of the best that I’ve come across so far. Click the images to shop for these planners for yourself.
Read More11 Skin and Hair Products I Swear By
/
I, like many women, truly enjoy pampering myself and taking care of my skin and hair to look my best. Over the last ten-or-so years, I’ve literally tried (what feels like) every product on the market. I’m not the easiest person to choose skincare for because I have both sensitive skin that reacts pretty harshly to many products out there - even certain laundry detergents can cause issues for me - as well as life-long acne-prone skin. But, alas, after years and years of trial and error, I can definitively rule most everything I’ve tried out.

I’m usually pretty late to the party when it comes to trends of any kind - the last to read, buy, or watch just about anything. But I’m proud to feel apart of the crowd this time around because I finished “Tidying Up With Marie Condo” on Netflix earlier this week and many people are starting and finishing the series right along with me.
Read MoreMaybe, This Time, Popular Opinion is Right.

I’ve never been one for fads. I know they pass and I have very little interest in being a follower. Especially when the fad goes against my very being. Like gaucho pants… I haven’t a clue who thought those were a good idea, but the thought of them still haunt me to this day. They just go to show that popular opinion is NOT always correct.

So, there’s this magical place that has everything you could ever need and some things you didn’t even know you wanted. It’s a colorful, exciting place that brings so many people joy. No, I’m not talking about Disney World or Santa’s Workshop. I’m referring to a place that you probably have not far from your own backyard. I’m referring to the Swedish masterpiece that is known as IKEA.

It’s date night!
Every so often, Ethan and I head out on the town to unwind in the evening after a long day of work. We have plenty of favorite places, but when we’re feeling and famished and a little feisty, there’s only one place that’ll satisfy us: Sagebrush Cantina in Lake Orion.
