Sweet Spot

Sorry to break the news to you, but it’s impossible to be liked by everyone. Growing up, I would do everything I could to “fit in” just to be like everybody else. But overtime, I have learned that the only thing that trying to "fit in" was doing was draining the person I truly was inside.  If you are somebody who cares too much about other people’s opinions then this might be a good read for you. People pleasing is something that I’m sure plenty of you find yourselves doing. I’ve always been a people-pleaser, and I'm still working on my needs to be liked by  everyone .

I am so excited about this post because it is all about my current favorite things: fashion, beauty, books, ect.  Basically I am going to be sharing anything that actually made my life 100 times better in the past month.

I tried on this coat when I was Christmas shopping with my mom and fell in love! It is the perfect thickness and is long enough to cover your whole body. I personally think it is super cute and neutral so it looks good with anything that you wear. Skin Care Green face wash I have tried so many c...
