Monthly Check-In and Spotify Playlist: June 2022

Monthly Check-In and Spotify Playlist: June 2022

I don’t know about y’all, but May FLEW by for me! The first week of May was spent scrambling to prepare to fly to Israel for my grandma’s funeral services (I missed the actual funeral and shiva, but got to visit her gravesite), then going to Israel for a week, and then spending a full week adjusting back, and boom the month was over before I knew it! I started off May getting ANOTHER ulcer flare up, which most likely was caused by the grief of losing my grandma but was also exactly a year after I got it in the first place, making me think it was back on some “anniversary tour” 🙄 It was horrible timing before my trip, and definitely bothered me while I was there. Luckily, I met with a new doctor a couple weeks after getting back, who FINALLY confirmed my suspicion that I have…

Summer 2020 Bucket List

Summer 2020 Bucket List

Every season – or at least every summer – I create a bucket-list of things I want to do before the season ends. You may be thinking that there is no point to doing that this summer with the Coronavirus pandemic still very much present, but I think it’s even more important now than ever! After so many months of being cooped up in the house, we all need fun activities to look forward to. We may be limited in what activities we can do, but that shouldn’t stop us! We just have to get creative 😉 Keep reading to see what’s on my summer bucket-list, and comment below what activities you are going to add to your bucket-list! Summer 2020 Bucket List Picnics – this seems to be the new brunch, since my ENTIRE Instagram, TikTok and Pinterest pages are full of picnic photoshoot pics! I have already had…

How To: Transition Your Summer Wardrobe to Fall When You’re Not Over Summer Yet

How To: Transition Your Summer Wardrobe to Fall When You’re Not Over Summer Yet

Summer is and has always been my favorite season. I love the warm weather, beach trips, lazy pool days, frozen drinks, rooftops, late summer nights and – of course – my birthday. When summer unofficially ends after Labor day, I start mourning it even though the weather stretches on for several more weeks (hello, global warming). The start of fall is bittersweet for me. I DO love fall – the colorful leaves, hot latte szn, cinnamon spice everything – but I have never really understood the hype of fall fashion. Literally EVERYONE I know is obsessed with it and waits all year for it! I must be the only one who feels like summer fashion is where it’s at: bright colors, lots of skin showing, and all the tropical vibes. It is just screaming Alana!! Since the weather takes a long time to catch up to actual fall, September is…

Colourpop “Orange You Glad” Review

Colourpop “Orange You Glad” Review

I recently became obsessed with ColourPop Cosmetics (I’m late AF, I know!) and my most recent order is giving me a serious case of orange crush!! I am a weirdo and made all the products in my order match, but when you are a color freak, you just do stuff like that, ok? Luckily I didn’t break the bank, because @colourpopcosmetics makes their products super affordable! I am a perpetual broke bitch, and don’t like spending a lot of money on makeup anyway, so this part really pleases me. But this brand is by no means a “cheap” one when it comes to quality. The color payoff is amazing, the packaging is always on point, and they even have cute names for everything! This order included: Orange You Glad eyeshadow palette So Juicy lip gloss in Va Va Voom Super Shock Cheek blush in Get Leid Sol Glow Oil in…

Summer Bucket List

Summer Bucket List

Hey y’all! It has been a minute since I posted anything and I didn’t realize how much I missed it! Not much has happened since my last post, the recap of my LA trip, but I feel like its been a looong couple months and I am ready for another vacation already. Who can relate?? Luckily, despite the stress of work and week after week of dragging myself out of bed every morning (LOL can you tell I need a vacation), it has finally gotten warm enough to do some fun stuff around the city! Personally, I love warm weather so much that it makes me happy just to chill in my back yard, but I DO love hanging out with friends at old and new favorite spots in DC. I have found lately, as I seem to do every summer, that by the time we really get into the…
