The Viral Jennifer Aniston Salad!
I have always loved Jennifer Aniston and now I love her even more for gifting us with this salad. This recipe is nothing new to the internet (see: viral), but I started making this on the REG last year. I made a few changes to it and thought I’d share, […]

Does anyone else feel like they could spend $500 in Sephora without blinking an eye?? I’ve walked in there many a time thinking “I just need eyeliner” and walked out with 7 things, 5 of which I didn’t “need.” Listen. I’m a sucker for cute packaging and things organized neatly. […]
