So You Think You Can Dance: ‘Top 8′ Music Highlights
A top 6 already?! This week’s episode of So You Think You Can Dance was, in a word, intense. The eliminations portion gets especially stressful and heartbreaking at this point of the competition so imagine my reaction when my favorite male dancer got voted off. It was a Yelling Fest. Thank goodness for the always […]
Chicken for Cheese and Mushroom Lovers!
Today I had a friend over for lunch and was inspired to whip out one of my go-to recipes for a quick and delicious meal. I’ve also made this as a special birthday dinner for my mother, so shout out to my mom! What I’m going to describe today is a no-fuss chicken the starts […]

Cruelty-Free Beauty
Animal testing — for any reason — is one of the most controversial topics out there. It doesn’t always have to be political or extreme. Regardless of your involvement in the cause or your personal opinions on the matter, it’s always a good idea to be aware of what you’re buying and wearing! You may have noticed […]
Manicure Monday: Graduation Glitter
For my graduation from Villanova University this May, my two sisters got me the best graduation present – personalized nail polish.

So You Think You Can Dance: ‘Top 10 Perform’ Music Highlights
Before I begin my mini recap of this week’s music from So You Think You Can Dance, I apologize for my lateness – my birthday was yesterday and it turned out to be much more busy and eventful than I thought it would be. But enough about me! Wednesday’s episode brought back the all-stars, who are […]

Ladies, at some point or another, you’ve surely donned something Juicy Couture. It’s likely because the brand has something for everyone: from the terry cloth bags with cutesy plastic cherry charms that you loved in middle school to the luxe dresses that you’re drooling over for your fall wardrobe right now. But the most consistently […]
Picante: Springfield, NJ
Down the street from Thai Amarin, a new Collabor-fave, is Picante “The Taste of Mexico,” a cool lunch spot that has gained much critical acclaim in the area. Let me tell you: Chipotle, this is not. Fresh, authentic, and reasonably priced, this place is a gem. The best way to describe Picante and its dishes […]
Manicure Monday: Frenchie
My hands-down favorite manicure has always been the classic French. It’s simple and elegant. It always makes my nails look longer and prettier than they really are. I think it’s a great manicure for almost any occasion. I like to play up a French manicure any way I can, and for Manicure Monday this week, […]
