Hi Friends,
Now that is is September, I think it is only fitting that we start talking about what fun things we want to do this fall. Fall is my favorite season for activities. I always plan big things but rarely get around to the things I am excited to do. This is going to be my year, I plan to do at least two of the items on my list.
What are you most excited to do this autumn season? Let me know, I would love to add to my list 🙂
Hi Fashionistas!
First let me say sorry there was no post yesterday. I have been doing the most. Which means I have not been planning my time as well as I should be. To keep it really real, I have been watching Power in my spare time and I’ve been sucked in! No excuse, but I’m here now!
This weekend I had a blast! I went to a friend’s wedding and after a few of us went to the Baltimore Harbor and  hung out. I’m excited to share the day with you, I never take photos when I am out, typically I like to spend time with the people around me, but since I did this time I wanted to share them with you.

Hi Friends,
Happy official first day of summer! Hopefully that means life is going to slow down enough for you to stop and smell the roses or at least read a good book 🙂 I have been getting back in to reading lately and I have been loving it. A fashion blogger I follow always gives the best book reviews and each time she provides amazing books that I always love. I enjoy thrillers… one of my favorite books is Gone Girl, and I have a few book reviews I plan do in the near future. Until I get that together here are books I am looking forward to getting my eyeballs on 🙂 Happy reading!
Girl in the Dark by Marion Pauw
All by Myself Alone by Mary Higgins Clark
My Husband’s Wife by Jane Corry
Into the Water by Paula Hawkins
All the Missing Girls by Megan Miranda
Happy Tuesday Friends!!!
Today I am celebrating my 2nd year wedding anniversary 🙂 To take you all down memory lane I wanted to share a few pictures from that day!
Today I am giving you all quick fitness check in. I am happy to share, I am pleased with my progress. I have been working out consistently for about three weeks, which was a big goal for me… be consistent. Â While preparing to go to the gym today, it hit me. Maybe you would like to see what I bring with me to the gym.
1. Work out clothes
On a normal day, I head to the gym straight from work. Which is why my gym clothes are in my bag 🙂 just in case you were wondering.
2. Headphones
I need my headphones in order to work out. I really have to emphasis this point. There have been times when I left my headphones home and would skip my workout because I wouldn’t be motivated to do much without music.
3. Micellar Water
I like to wipe off my face makeup just incase. I am crazy when it comes to keeping my skin in the best position possible. I say, better safe then sorry. Another easy option is makeup wipes.
4. Wet Wipes
People are gross, I like to have antibacterial wipes with me when things are not looking as clean as I think they should. At the gyms I go to, I have noticed they ran out of disinfectant spray. I went home that day, and put my wipes in my bag imminently.
5. Perfume
After a hard work out I still like to smell like a lady. So I spritz myself just a little to freshen up. My mom always tells me “you never know when you may run into someone.” Scentbird provides a great service, you can get a 30 day supply to try out before you make a big perfume purchase.
6. Water
We have to hydrate.
So I have a lot of stuff! There is nothing wrong with having things that bring joy to your life. At some point when you look around your space and become overwhelmed with the amount of crap round that serves no purpose and is never used, such a waste of space.
Of course, I watched a documentary that solidified my idea of becoming a minimalist. One thing I am so interested in is a capsule wardrobe. For those ladies who can look so chic in 30 articles of clothing, my hat goes off to them. The creativity it takes to not look the same every day. I have been spending so many (way to much) hours on Pinterest looking at women who have a capsule wardrobe. I am so interested in adopting this in my lifestyle. We shall see how it turns out, sometimes I just need a change!
I am here to tell you, I want to be a minimalist… I know it takes baby steps. Here are a few images that has been inspiring me on this journey.
