In case you haven’t met her on the blog yet, this is Izzy. She’s a energetic, super loving 3 year old that we think is an Irish Troodle. Anyways, we love spoiling our fur baby and when the folks at Bugsy’s Box offered a chance to review one of their boxes, I couldn’t say no—I mean look at that face! Previously, we’ve tried PetBox and Barkbox, and they didn’t disappoint, so I was curious to see how the Bugsy Box compared when I did a review. Each Bugsy's Box includes 5 to 7 items which Read More
Review: Erin Condren Life Planner {Plus, $10 Off Coupon & Giveaway!}
Blogging editorial calendar. Social engagements. Workout/training logs. Work stuff. Appointments. To-do lists. The list goes on… Needless to say, I live and die by my planner.

In the past, I’ve always relied on the planners from Target. They are super cute, Read More
Three Things Thursday: Great reads, deals and insights
Earrings: BR Outlet | Scarf: “borrowed” from my Mom | Sweater: Old Navy (similar) | Jeans: AE | Boots: Aldo 1) Great reads. I participated in my first ever book club!

Plus, the her friend search takes place in Chicago, and Read More

How to save money and score deals at Target!

Target is so wonderful as a one-stop shopping store...in fact, I go in for one thing and come out with shoes, nail polish a new vase and fresh produce. Every. single. time. But you know what? You can score some great deals on everything from grapes to greeting cards to Read More
Sally Hansen Salon Effects Nail Review
I was very curious to try the Sally Hansen Salon Effects Real Nail Polish Strips when they first came out. No dry time, lasts up to 10 days and cheaper than a shellac manicure?! Sounds too good to be true! Because let's face it...when I paint my nails at home, it looks like a toddler painted them and I get more paint on the surrounding skin versus my actual nail. Ugh... Luckily, I got to try these for cheap (and I'm glad I did!) In fact, CVS is still running a promotion where if you spend Read More
