Dreamy, calming music flows from my phone as I type away at my pink quartz keyboard. The comforting scent of freshly baked sugar cookies mixes with vanilla and crushed peppermint, creating the coziest feeling.
hello again loves ♡
The faint sound of morning birds singing drift into the room, alerting me that spring is just around the corner. As i slowly beging to open my eyes, I gently stretch my body after a full night of beauty sleep. Looking toward the window, I bask in the glow of the early morning light; the morning sun still hiding beneath the horizon just waiting to say hello again. Adoring this time of day, I simply take a few moments to feel at peace as I gaze out the window. The sky is a beautiful light grey with the remainder of the previous night sky still lingering; there’s just something about this time of day that brings me so much joy.
While still cozy and wrapped in my furry pink blanket, I reach over for my phone opening my Pinterest app. Wanting a few more moments in a warm bed, I work on pinning aesthetic things I feel inspired by and my affirmations board as a way to start the day off in a positive mindset. As I do this, I make sure to sip on a glass of water.
Once I am finished with my water, I delicately pull back my warm blankets and step out of bed to start my morning. Grabbing my pink satin Victoria’s Secret robe, I make my way toward the bathroom to brush my teeth before moving on to washing my face. Once finished I pick out a face mask – today’s being a peel off one called strawberries & champagne.
As my face mask is drying, I begin to make an iced oat milk coffee. The smell of freshly brewed coffee whirls around the house as I add heart shaped ice to my pink studded Starbucks tumbler. Sipping on the oat milk iced coffee, I savor the soft quietness of the early morning. I just adore being the only one awake on an ethereal morning like this – it’s absolutely tranquil. While I continue to enjoy my delicious coffee, I begin to journal and go over my planner to see what the day ahead holds.
Iced coffee finished, I finally change from my satin VS stripped pajamas and slip into my favorite workout clothes – my aerie flared leggings and my baby pink hello kitty milk bar hoodie. The first thing i start with every morning is pilates as it’s the perfect start to any workout and warms me up for the rest of them. Onced finished with pilates, I move on to my hiit cardio routine to fully wake up. After completeing my morning workouts, it’s time to step into the shower.
The warm water and steam evelopes me like a comforting hug, warming the muscles I just worked.
Feeling rejuvinated and ready for the day, I step out of the shower and dress in a cozy outfit for a day of working from home – the fluffiest of pink sweaters, basic soft leggings from aerie, and comfy socks. I continue with my full morning skincare routine to keep my skin bright and glass like. Skin looking smooth and doll like, I finally style my hair. Freeing my long silky hair from any tangles, I add some loose beach waves and tie my hair up into an adorable half up/half down ponytail and add a pink ribbon for an added cute touch.
My morning routine complete, I make healthy green smoothie and brew a fresh pot of delightful green tea and am ready to go about the rest of my day.

I started my wonderful blogging journey almost six years ago in September of 2012. Being that I was in a web design class, I had already been introduced to blogging, WordPress in particular. For one of our beginner projects, we had to set up our own blog, give it a theme, and publish a post just to get used to a simple set up. Well I ended up coming across a lovely community on here, The Clique community. The Clique is a lovely book series by the amazing Lisi Harrison about a group of girls who call themselves The Pretty Committee. In this little community these girls had Clique blogs where each blog would be in the theme of that character and basically they’d write fan fiction blog posts with their chosen character as the center of their plot line. Having adored writing Clique fan fiction on fanfiction.net, I created a blog and joined in. That is how I started out, pretending I was Dylan Marvil on the Internet.
Start off your enchanting Valentine’s Day by picking out a lavish outfit that makes you feel the most like a princess and makes you feel like you’re shining from the inside out. For such a romantic holiday, I personally suggest a romantic dress or ethereal tulle skirt in an adorable blush pink. You’ll feel incredibly girly and sweet! Take the time to do some pirouettes in the gorgeous outfit you chose and just let your true self show.
Always one to try out new enchanting scents, last month I fell in love with two; 24K Blush and Pink Gold. Both being inexpensive and from PINK, these are dreamy, warm scents that are like wrapping a fluffy blanket around you in the middle of winter. They’re just so light and delicate, the perfect kind of scents for the colder months. Packaged in beautiful rose gold and pink bottles, they’ve made my vanity area look even more princessy. If you have the chance to try one of these, I truly recommend them!
The next magical product I favored this month had me feeling like a dainty fairy all month long. With a delightful pink color that looks as if it’s delicious pink frosting, Lush’s Snow Fairy had my heart in January. Not only did it make my delicate skin feel buttery smooth, but it left behind the faint scent of sweet spun sugar that lasted for hours after my shower.
Moving on from beauty, I just have to share my absolute favorite candle of the month. With a gorgeous mint green color, Bath & Body Work’s White Mint Latte won me over. Not only did the beautiful packaging fit in with my decor, the smell was delightfully dreamy. Smelling just like a warm freshly made peppermint mocha wafting all throughout the room, this candle is the most perfect one for the winter months. I’m truly going to be sad when I completely burn through this candle.
Not all of my favorite fashion items have been clothing, this next piece that captivated me last month is this lavish, fluffy scarf. With an amazingly soft faux fur, this blush pink scarf has kept me incredibly warm all month long. Not only is it warm, but it made me feel like a fancy snow bunny!
The first thing I got was this delicate little velvet set. I’ve been in love with velvet for so long, so I was extremely happy when PINK got in on this trend. When I saw this set I just knew I had to have it. It’s so soft, light, and has a dainty floral print that’s perfect for the spring. The best part is I got both pieces for only $10.95!
These lovely pieces were in the sleep separates section. Originally I saw the shorts first and loved how delicate they looked. There’s blush pink hearts all over the white shorts and the material is so light and airy! When I was searching for a top to match these, I came across the ribbed sleep Henley and saw the absolute most gorgeous color for spring! It’s called Harbor Grey and it’s the prettiest dusty pastel green shade. It just reminds me so much of spring and makes me want to buy everything they have in this color. Another reason I really like the Henley’s is because of the dainty lace detailing around the neck of the top. It’s adds just the tiniest touch of girlyness!
The next two pieces I bought are also sleep separates, but from the PINK side. They’re new items for spring and they’re so soft! I just had to have this pastel tie dye sleep crew, it just looked so pretty; the color of it is even more gorgeous and pastel in person. To match I got these cute, little mint green shorts and the color on these is simply adorable!
