Recent Amazon Purchases - Vol. 3

As much as I want to say the convenience of my Amazon Prime membership will be the death of me/my bank account, that couldn't be furthest from the truth. It's actually a lifesaver (and often a money-saver) despite the occasional impulse purchases.

Tobago: A Caribbean Gem

Since living in the US, a day doesn't go by without someone asking me where my accent is from. Usually Trinidad and Tobago is the last thing on their mind. Trinidad is where I grew up which is more of a bustling kind of island but Tobago is a short 20 minute flight where we go to relax.

Weekending: A Picture a Day

Keeping it short and sweet today since that's pretty much how the weekend was. Always too short right?

Friday Faves

Yesterday's temps were the lowest it's been since 2010 in Central FL so we're feeling frosty around here and need all the warm clothes to bundle up.  Luckily I prepared early when I found some great sales on cute winter gear which arrived just in time!

Home For The Holidays

The weekend was extremely low-key around here after returning from vacation so I'm diving right into my travel recaps this week sharing some highlights from our trip to Trinidad & Tobago.

Friday's Fave - The "Coolest" Thing in Skincare

I've never tried a tightening gel or firming treatment of any kind so Kate Somerville's Tight'N Cryogenic Tightening Gel couldn't have come at a better time as I approach my mid-30s and the fine lines have started to appear around my eyes and forehead area.

The Man Behind The Blog: Impromptu Q&A

A friend of mine posted this Q&A on social media and I thought it would be fun to share it on my blog since I've never done a Q&A with K before.  It was also the perfect way to pass the time on our 2.5 hour drive from West Palm Beach to Orlando over the weekend.

Returning to the Cold + TBB Asks

Good morning friends! It's been a while since I've been able to connect with the blogging world. If you follow my blog or even social media (Instagram or SnapChat: emilyalisonb), you probably saw that I flew into Trinidad for Christmas and didn't return until this past Friday.

Happy New Year!

I Hope You Dance

2017 Year Recap: January - April

I always love reflecting back on the year to remember all my adventures and whereabouts. 2017 was a great year filled with celebrations, travel, and fun with friends.

Weekend Scenes

And just like that we're already in the middle of December. I got the last of my shopping done for coworkers and our Secret Santa gift exchange on Wednesday and had a pretty relaxing weekend otherwise.

Birthday Blessings

We celebrated my birthday a little early last weekend brunching with friends but today, December 13th, is my birthday. K and I plan to go out for a quiet dinner tonight since it's a school night so the celebrations were best for the weekend.

Weekend Celebrations

Good morning all!

It was an eventful weekend with some pampering and lots of celebrating with friends.

Black Friday & Cyber Monday Shopping

I haven't shopped this much in a long time, if not ever, but my mom is like the energizer bunny when it comes to malls and department stores. Luckily everything I got was on sale or MAJOR sale so my bank account doesn't hate me that much!

Christmas Stocking Stuffers

LC Lauren Conrad has some really cute trinkets for stocking stuffers out on the shelves at Kohl's. Mostly everything on this list is from her collection and I just adore how dainty and cute these are - perfect holiday gifts for the ladies in your life. I personally would like to have one of each especially the wine glass charms and passport holder.
