Some of you may have noticed things have been quiet for me on the blog and around the social media universe. As I mentioned in my previous post, I spent two lovely weeks back in Michigan with my family, taking some much needed time for myself. 2013 was a rough year for me, it challenged me in so many ways. While I’m thankful that in the end everything turned out all right, it still changed me indefinitely. I learned a lot over the course of the year and the greatest challenge I have ahead of me in 2014 is to stop allowing the actions of other effect me in a negative way. So here’s to a year of “doing more” to live a happy life!

On another note, my mom has recently become a pretty amazing gift giver. Even though I poured hours into creating a reasonable yet stylish Christmas wish list for my family, I ended up getting almost nothing off of it. Instead, my mom listened to my random gibber gabber this past year and bought me this Rebecaa Minkoff Mini Mac and well as this J.Crew printed skirt – both in colors I love! You guys will be seeing both of these things on the blog often!

P.S. I get asked about my nails often so I’ll share my little secret with all of you. My girl Anna at The Velvet Nail Lounge in Michigan is my go-to gal when I’m home. She created this glittery half-moon design below!
