My Picks of Last Minute Stocking Fillers

Wednesday, December 20, 2017

This time of December is certainly the craziest time of year, in my opinion.  If you go to the stores from here until Christmas Day, you are mostly sure of being mobbed by massive amounts of people getting their last minute shopping done.  As hectic as it is, I have to admit I do love this time of year shopping wise! Mostly some great sales happen right before Christmas, which is a good reason to be last minute shopping. 

I did a lot of my shopping this past weekend, and even though I have more to do this Friday (it never ends!) I managed to find some really great stuff for little gifts for friends and family.  

Miscellaneous
One gift I managed to get on Black Friday, actually, was a Christmas patterned blanket.  The blanket I bought from JC Penny’s was so incredible soft that I gifted it to my friend, and she loved it!  Blankets can never go wrong!  Fuzzy Christmas socks work wonders, too!

Stationary
Another thing I noticed whilst shopping at Target the other day, was the little things they had on sale.  I got this cute set of cards pictured above, for just $1! If you know someone that loves stationary or is in need of some mini binders for some reason, Target is your place! I personally use mini binders to put my broadway playbills in, but I certainly don’t expect everyone to use it for that reason!!


Makeup
On the topic of makeup, I would say go to Ulta instead of Sephora, mainly because Sephora is so expensive!  If you were to do a drug store brand type of makeup, I’d say Elf is the best in that category.   My personal favorite makeup brand that myself and a ton of my friends love, is Colourpop.  Colourpop has some of the best makeup products out there, and they’re cheap!  Their matte liquid lipsticks and eyeshadow palettes are my favorites from them, definitely try out Colourpop if you already haven’t! 

Chocolate
Now let’s talk about something almost everyone loves: chocolate!  My mother and I happened to find a set of chocolate covered apples for family and I can’t think of a more perfect gift for someone!  Also, a personal favorite of mine is Lindor Truffles, which you could probably find at any grocery store. 

I’d say if you were to do some last minute Christmas shopping, Target is definitely the place to go.  Target truly never disappoints me, even in their clothing department!  Happy Holiday’s to you and your family, you truly deserve the lovely weekend.  

What are some stocking fillers you have found for Christmas? 

5 Things I Love About Christmas

Thursday, December 14, 2017

Christmas is easily my favorite time of year, and for lots of reasons.  It’s the season about joy and giving, and on top of that, really fun family traditions.  Christmas is the time of year when I am cramming to get gifts wrapped and sent out, just as I am doing right now! Last minute gifts seems to be my thing!  To think Christmas is now in less than two weeks, is really insane to me. 

Usually I’m overly excited for Christmas and it seems like it couldn’t come quicker.  This year, however, Christmas has really come too quickly!  Anyway, today’s post is going to be all about why I love this time of year, I hope you enjoy!

01. Family Traditions

There’s nothing I love more than spending Christmas with my family, and we’ve had some of the same traditions for years!  We always watch the same Christmas movies every year along with some hot chocolate by our side.  We will also usually go drive around the neighborhood looking at Christmas lights!  

02. Giving

Christmas is all about giving, and one of my favorite things is giving gifts to the people who deserve it.  I love the smile on people’s faces when they see that I got them something, it always warms my heart. 

03. Movies

One of my favorite things about the holiday season, is I LOVE THE MOVIES!  I always watch the same every year, along with some new ones from time to time.  Hallmark Christmas movies are also a favorite channel that my mom and I love to put on.  I recently wrote a blog post on my favorite films, you can go read it in detail here!

04. Christmas Cards

Another thing I love to do around Christmas cards, is make some Christmas cards for my friends and family.  I always tend to get this done last minute, but it always gets done.  I’ll either have them printed at a local Walmart, or I’ll buy hallmark cards and do it that way!

05. Christmas Eve

I love Christmas Eve, probably more than I’ll possibly love Christmas Day.   Every Christmas Eve, we always go over to my aunt and uncles house, and we have dinner and open early Christmas presents.  It’s always been a favorite tradition of mine, and I cannot wait to do it again this year!

My Recent Colourpop Purchase

Thursday, November 16, 2017

I’m not going to lie, money has been pretty tight recently, and I was a bit overdue for new makeup.  So I made the very inexpensive Colourpop order the other week, seeing as it is probably my favorite makeup brand ATM.  I needed new eyeshadow colors, and by my surprise, I happened to get a new ultra matte liquid lipstick too! Here’s all I received:

I was complaining about how late my Colourpop order was to arrive, but they sure did make up for it! As an apology, they sent me a mini liquid lipstick in the shade Times Square, coincidentally a shade I’ve been wanting to buy! I’ll for sure be buying a full sized one soon!

I purchased here the Hi-Maintenance Eyeshadow Palette, and I’m gagging over how gorgeous the colors are.  They are so well pigmented and apply easily, which is why I love all Colourpop products.  I couldn’t be happier with my purchase of this palette.  


Wednesday Addams DIY Costume + Makeup

Wednesday, November 1, 2017

“This is my costume.  I’m a homicidal maniac.  They look just like everyone else.”



I have been basically obsessed with watching The Addams Family movies this Halloween season, so I thought, what else to dress as than Wednesday?  After scrolling through the internet, Pinterest, and YouTube, this costume seemed extremely simple and fun.  So I decided to bring my inner Wednesday Addams out and have some fun with her this Halloween, and here are my end results!




I did want to be Debbie Jellinsky (played by the wonderful Joan Cusack)  from Addams Family Values, but Walmart ran out of blonde wigs last minute!  I will however definitely do that one next year!  To get this look, I bought this short black dress for about $10 at Walmart.  I already had a white, blouse that didn’t quite fit me anymore with the perfect Wednesday collar, so I simply cut it off and sewed it to my costume!  




I bought this Milani lipstick in a very dark purple shade to create the Wednesday makeup look of darkness.  For foundation I used the BareMinerals Pro Powder Foundation and the Sephora Brand concealer.  I used my Sephora “More Than Meets The Eye”  eyeshadow palette for the eyes, my Maybelline Mascara, and my Sephora Brand Eyeliner for the rest of my look.  For the complete Makeup look and tutorial, watch my video below! Be sure to subscribe to my new YouTube channel, too! Leave a comment on the video if you came from here! 

I hope you liked my Wednesday Addams DIY look, and maybe it can inspire you for next year’s Halloween costume!  Comment below your thoughts, and if you’ve ever gone as Wednesday!


Why I've Fallen in Love with Anastasia on Broadway

Tuesday, October 17, 2017



If you haven’t kept up with my life this past year, then let me fill you in.  I have fallen deeply in love with Anastasia on Broadway.  If you are indeed wondering, yes, Anastasia is the Broadway adaption of the 1997 Twentieth Century Fox animated film.  The show opened in April of this year in New York City, and I have never felt such love for a show.  I have personally never seen a show more than once, but Anastasia is the type of show I would love to see over and over again.

I have been keeping up with this show for about over two years now, and for very personal reasons, in which I’d like to express.  Growing up, my grandmother and I adored the movie, mainly because we loved the real story and history of the Romanov family and Russian Revolution (I am now a major history buff on both subjects!).   My grandmother was raised in Scotland her whole life, and her and my grandfather traveled the world immensely.  Even after moving to America, my grandmother had traveled to Scotland and England whenever she could.

If you are familiar with the film at all, than you know that Anastasia and her grandmother had a strong bond.  At the beginning of the film, her grandmother gives her a music box.  The lullaby with the music box goes like this; “On the wind, cross the sea, hear this song and remember, soon you’ll be home with me, once upon a December”.  This was my me and my grandmother’s same lullaby, that we took from the film.  My grandmother even bought me a replica of the music box from the film!  Needless to say, this film is very special to me.  I will always remember that about a week after she passed away over two years ago, they announced that a musical adaption of Anastasia was in the works.  This was around the time that I began talking to Christy Altomare.



Christy is the original and current Anya or Anastasia in the Broadway musical.  Christy and I became Facebook friends about two years ago, and began messaging each other quite often.  She has made such a positive impact on my life over the time I have known her, and she is someone I absolutely adore.  She has been there for me about my grandmother, and I am so thankful to know her.  I had the opportunity to see Anastasia this past June, and Christy invited me backstage afterwards.  I cried throughout the entire show, mainly because, I was able to remember my grandmother in the most special way.  She always wanted a Broadway adaptation and historically accurate depiction, and I was witnessing that very thing on that stage.  My favorite line in the whole show, is when the grandmother gives Anastasia the music box; “When you play it, think of an old woman who loves you very much”.




Anastasia is very different from the film in many ways, and it is much better.  It has moments of sadness, happiness, and mystery.   It is, in my opinion, my ideal of a perfect show.  Anastasia has been a huge comfort and shred in my life for the past year, it is just my feel good type of musical.  The cast is absolutely stellar, and I have found myself in love with everything they do.  The show does still feature the classic songs from the film, but the writers also wrote a bunch of new and different songs for the musical adaption, as well.  Some of my personal favorites from the show are listed here below:

  1. Crossing a Bridge
  2. Land of Yesterday
  3. In a Crowd of Thousands
  4. Stay I Pray You
  5. Once Upon a December

There are so many more songs, so I definitely recommend you giving it a listen, especially since it is now available on Spotify!  If you’re ever in New York, I strongly encourage you to see Anastasia.  It is a beautiful show, and it is made for all ages.  Plus, Christy Altomare is stunning as Anya!

My Natural Skincare Routine

Friday, September 22, 2017


Hello, darlings!  Hands raised, who else gets totally dried skin in the fall/winter season?  It seems to be a recurring issue with myself every year, but this year I am confident that it might be a little different.  I have recently decided to try to switch to all natural skin and hair products, and I feel like it is the right decision for me.  I must admit I am still in the process of the full switch to strictly all natural, but I am using a few products now that are halfway there.  In this blog post, I wanted to share with you some of my favorite skincare products that I use every night.

I reverse different nights between these two products, but both work equally as good as one another.  I am not sure if this is a great way for cleansing your face, but I initially wanted to test them, and they both feel oil-free, smooth, and are quality products that I love.




Clarisonic - Refreshing Gel Cleanser
This facial cleanser is really green for oily skin, and since I suffer from this, it’s the perfect match for me.  This gel feels incredible on my skin, and is probably the best gift I received last Christmas.  It contains both green and white tea in it, and it honestly feels very natural on my skin.  Since I was a kid, I have always had a bad acne issue, and it made me feel awful about myself for years.  When I began high school, I started to use the ProActiv products, and my face suddenly became much better.  There was however, one remaining problem: my face was still oily.

Ever since I began using Clarisonic’s product, my face began to feel much better.  I put this gel on every night, rubbing it on each section of my face for about 10-15 seconds each.  When I wake up in the morning, I wash it off with a hot rag (sorry, I can’t do a cold one in the morning!), and my face feels great for the whole rest of the day.  This gel is so refreshing for my face, and I am so glad I came across it this year.



Purity - One Step Facial Cleanser
One of my family members actually loaned me this product, and I have loved it ever since.  This cleanser is really terrific for cleaning everything off of my face.  It removes oils, dirt, and makeup after a long and tiring day.  This product contains natural extracts to help clean and moisturize the skin.  I won’t lie, this cleanser isn’t the greatest scent in the world, but it works just wonderfully.  I was initially nervous to use it, because sometimes new products can give my face a slight rash (I do have sensitive skin), but with relief it didn’t.

Purity has been a more recent discovery of mine, and I am really glad that I found it.  It feels refreshing and smooth on my skin, working wonders every time I use it.  To apply it on my face, I do the same exact steps as the Clarisonic gel!




It is a safe note to make that both of these products have also really helped my acne a lot.  I still get it now and then, but since using these products, I rarely use ProActiv as much as I used to.  


You can purchase both of these products here:

Why I'm Taking a Style Leap of Faith

Monday, September 18, 2017

For a long time now, I've been struggling with finding my own kind of style that I am comfortable wearing.  I had an idea what kind of style I wanted to do, but the problem was, I think of others opinions too much.  Which is not a bad thing by the way, because when you think of others opinions you also start to care for your own self worth.   Although, having the fear of others judging you for something you would like to do, is not a good mindset to be at.   This is how I have been feeling lately with finding my own style that I would love to rock myself.  

I would say I have a more modern yet retro style when it comes to how I pick out clothes and outfits.   I love putting a vintage touch on every outfit I wear as much as I can.  However lately I've really been adoring Diane Keaton's style.   If you've read my Q&A then you should know that Diane Keaton is probably my biggest fashion inspiration of all time.   Just from the way she is so daring to the way she is extremely confident in anything she wears.   Not to mention the woman rocks every single outfit she wears, ever.  Diane start of the style of women wearing men's clothing.   Should be in the style in Annie Hall, which to this day is her own style.  I don't want to do the whole style completely but I would love to do it halfway.  The only thing in my way, is the fear of being judged.  





I know some of my friends and my family find my sense of style very odd at times so it makes me venture out a lot less.  However I recently had a change of mind, and I decided why not.  Over the past weekend, I was shopping at Forever 21, when I got caught up in the clearance aisle (which by the way, was filled with so many cute and cheap clothes!).   I made the leap to buy a blouse, and I'm going to try it out.  This is an essential piece in having this kind of style, and I am so glad to finally on a piece to try out! I'm honestly very proud of this decision to buy the blouse, because it's giving me my own reassurance of confidence my own style.  It's so important for me to develop my own sense of style that I am comfortable with.  I am not trying to full on copy Diane's style, but to borrow some of it, because she really has inspired me fashion wise.  I hope I can one day be as confident with what I am wearing as she is.

So with that said, I'm extremely excited to try out the style and see if it works on me.  I think I'm more excited at the fact that I've become and confident enough to buy the pieces, than even wearing them yet.  I think everyone needs to develop their own sense of style, even if it's something really little one plane.  So I hope this post could encourage you to venture out and try new things, especially those pieces of clothing you'd love to try.  


Ultimate Broadway Ticket Guide

Tuesday, September 5, 2017

Whenever I hear of any friends or family who are going to see a Broadway show, my immediate question is "how exactly are you buying tickets?".   Broadway is a very expensive business as a whole, and I mean it should be, it's how the actors get paid and, often times the money is worth it.  There are however, many cheap ways and tips on getting around this.  Over the years, I've seen over three or four shows a year on tour, excluding the shows I see in New York.  I've learned the best ways and websites over the years to score the best discounted tickets, and with great seats, too!  

Planning an entire trip to the city can and will be hectic, thus it is better to know the easiest ways to getting those awesome tickets to your favorite shows.  I'm glad to share my tips with you today, and feel free to send me an email or comment if you have questions about a particular show.  Here are some of my tips and sites on getting those cheapest tickets, enjoy!

01. TheaterMania
TheaterMania is both a Broadway news source and ticket source.  They usually have discounts for numerous shows, and their discounts are often great.  They also have an email list that you can sign up for, and get the latest list of show discounts. Back in August, I purchased a ticket to Waitress through TheaterMania's discount.  I got a 60% discount for front mezzanine, talk about a deal!  I would highly recommend giving their site a look!

02. BroadwayBox
BroadwayBox is in fact a very similar site to TheaterMania, and they will often have some great deals on shows as well.  This site is a great way to also find mostly videos on shows, that way you can get a good glimpse of the show before you decide to see it!

03. TKTS
TKTS is a very famous source for purchasing tickets to shows last minute.  They are more of a "day of" system, and only have discount listings for the current week.  They usually have a 50% discount, which is an awesome deal on any shows.  

04. TodayTix
TodayTix is mainly used for Broadway Lotteries.  These are when you can enter a lottery for a show a day before or day off, and luckily win for as low as $20.  You can also purchase through them with others discount codes.

05. Rush
Rush is when you go to the Box Office when it first opens in the early morning.  You can get cheaper tickets the day of the show for usually great seats, mostly orchestra even.  This is a great way to also get Standing Room, where you can stand throughout the show, but for a cheaper price!

06. SRO
Standing-Room-Only is only offered at Broadway shows that are sold out, just throwing that in there.  They're tickets you can purchase where you get to see a show while standing in the very back on the orchestra.  You won't have a seat at all, but sometimes it's worth it!  For instance, if you can get your hands on a SRO ticket for Hamilton, that's especially worth it.

Now I won't lie to you, sometimes you may simply not be able to find discounted tickets.  You might very well have to pay full price.  I had to pay full and normal price for my orchestra seats in Anastasia recently, which weren't bad seats at all.  Sure they were pricey, but I waited literally my whole life for that Broadway show, so it was worth it.  If it's worth the better seats, go for it if you can!



Behind The Blog Q&A

Tuesday, August 29, 2017
One of my favorite things this past year of blogging has been getting to meet other blogger's.  Even though I know some about them, it's come to my realization that you may not know much about me! Sure, you can probably guess my favorites from the kind of posts I write, but you don't really know ME. Today's post is going to be all about that. 


I've asked my followers on Twitter and Instagram to send me any kind of questions they have, and I'm glad to have received many!  I've also included some FAQ on my own, to help you get to know me.  I'm glad to share some of myself with out, and without further a do, here's some little things about me!


01. Why Did You Start Blogging?
I first had the thought of blogging a few years back when my mom said to me "you should start a blog!" during one of my long rants about Broadway.  The idea has been in my head since then, and it always sounded like a bunch of fun.   I mean, doesn't it sound awesome to write about whatever you want, and perhaps even have an audience?

It was about two years ago I decided to start my own Broadway blog, sadly I had no clue how to promote it!  I had one post that was popular for about a day or two, but nothing afterwards!  I since retired that Blog, and birthed Candidly Darling.  I began this blog because I wanted somewhere to write about what I'm passionate about, and I'm so glad I've found my place to do so.  





02. What Blogging Props Do You Use?
I actually don't use much!  I've an extremely budgeted person, I don't even have a proper camera!  The only main props I really use are my iPhone 6S Plus and my Laptop!  I use a bunch of apps, which you can read about here, and edit everything on my laptop.  

I'll of course use "props" when I do product review posts, but other than those, I really don't have much.  I'm intending on hopefully getting a MacBook this Christmas, so hopefully my blogging game can improve then!



03. What is The Best Thing You Like About Blogging?

What Makes You Happy About It?

The best thing about blogging is getting to let it all out.  It's so wonderful to express yourself and have an audience.  Even if you don't have much of an audience, it's great to just write about what makes you happy!  For instance, theatre makes me insanely happy.  Nowadays you can find me writing tons about it, just because it's what I love!

What makes me happy to also getting to teach some of my readers new things.  That's why I enjoy writing blog advice posts, even my travel posts, they're often so well received.  Why you ask?  Because people love learning new things!  My NYC posts have all gotten mostly positive comments, and it makes me so happy to be able to give everyone my tips, even if they're not the absolute best!



04. Who is Your Style Icon?
I've honestly had so many style icons in my life it's unreal!  This ranges from celebrities to my friends IRL.  I really am the kind of person to base my style on others, guilty as charged, I'm not the type of person to have much confidence in my own fashion sense!

I'd say my biggest style icon is for sure, the queen herself, actress Diane Keaton.  From Annie Hall to her endless real life style (which Annie Hall actually WAS her own style!), Diane just inspires me endless. She's not afraid to go out and try new outfits, even if they are way out there sometimes!  Her confidence is one of the biggest reasons why I adore her, and I'm constantly looking up to her!



05. What is Your Best Childhood Movie?
Hands down, Anastasia.  Anastasia was very special to my late grannie and I, in ways that could be a post of its own.  Let's just say, this movie will forever hold a very special place in my heart.

If you haven't seen my praise for the Broadway show, I'm a huge fan of it, too.  If you're ever in NYC, you must go see Anastasia on Broadway!



06. What is Your Favorite Place in All of NYC?
Oh gosh, so hard!! I love everywhere in NYC, it's after all my favorite city in the whole world.  Besides the endless theatre's I love to be at (my favorites of those are The Winter Garden and New Amsterdam!), I'd say my favorite place is The Plaza Hotel.  

I always make it a routine of mine to visit every time I go to the city, and there hasn't been a time when I haven't!  It's such a beautiful place, and there's just something about it that I love to my core.



07. When Do You Plan to Move to NYC?

I've been planning this move my whole life practically haha!  I am pleased to say that I plan to move there in the summer of 2019, and I hope to my heart that I can make it work.  New York is my happy place, where my friends are, and where my opportunities are.  Moving there will complete my heart, and boy do I hope I can do it.

If you have any advice on moving to the city alone, I'd be more than happy if you could comment or email me!



08. What is Your Dream Job?
For years now my biggest dream has been to be a famous actor, on Broadway and in film.  I love Broadway with all my heart, and my reason to moving to the city is to make that dream come true!  Recently I've also been desiring to be a Broadway Dresser like my friend is.  It's a job to have whole auditioning!

A Broadway Dresser is one who is in charge of costumes for certain cast members, and they look like they have quite the fun life!



09. If You Could Travel Anywhere in The World, Where Would it Be?
My grandmother was raised in Scotland, and traveled all over the world as an adult. I've always been inspired by her to do the same.  Ever since I was little, we dreamed of going to Scotland and St. Petersburg, Russia together!  I'd have to say my top place is St. Petersburg, but I also have dreams of going to Scotland, London, and Copenhagen!



10. What's The Worst Thing About Blogging?

The worst thing about blogging is probably the pressure!  I'm always feeling pressure on whether or not my blog is good enough, and it's almost stressful.



11. Why Do You Love New York So Much?


I just love how it's so alive!  Where I have lived my whole life, it's always been nothing but boring.  New York is fun, alive, and never sleeps.  It's for sure the biggest reason why I simply love The Big Apple.  I also love how it has all Broadway shows, it's such an unlimited option to seeing a great show!



12. What's The Best Show You've Seen This Year?
The best Broadway show I've seen this year, and probably ever, is Anastasia.  Anastasia has always been very special to me, and my friend Christy Altomare starring in it, only made it a million times for amazing.  The show itself is beautiful and unique, it's truly a grown up version of the movie.



13. If You Didn't Live in America, Where Would You Live?
Probably London!  I actually was looking into London for a bit, but at the end of the day, new York is the love of my life.  I would however love to live in London one day, though.





14. What's Your Favorite Food/Recipe?
My favorite dish that I'll have at any restaurant is definitely Wedding Soup.  My favorite recipe is my grannie's Zucchini Bread recipe.



15. How Do You Stay Inspired?
I always stay inspired by listening to music!  Music always cheers me up or gets me going.

16. If You Could Change Anything About Yourself, What Would it Be and Why?
I try not to regret much, but if I could change anything, it'd definitely be my jealousy and insecurity.  I try my best not to be jealous or envious of others, but sometimes I find myself in that state.  I also am aware I put myself down a lot, and I wish I could refrain from doing so as well.



17. What's Your Favorite Quote?
"Always Be a First Rate Version of Yourself, not a Second Rate version of someone else" - Judy Garland
