Started in Houston, now we’re here.
Buckle up, we have a lot to recap!


MATCHING WORK OUT SETS // This year I got to partner with Fabletics! I quickly fell in love with their work out sets which was perfect timing because I actually kept to my work out resolution for 2019. I love the matching sets, the quality, and cute jackets that they have.
Here are a few of the sets I have:

ARITZIA TOP // Living in Texas, this top was my everything. I literally wanted to wear it every weekend. You don’t need to wear a bra with it and it doesn’t show if you’re sweating. So you can see how it’s a dream top. *Online right now they have a mint blue color on sale for $25!!

NEON SWIMMY // This affordable two piece from Aerie! It is great quality and I am obsessed with the simple style and bright color. My favorite place I wore it this year was by the pool in Vegas with a bloody mary in my hand. 🙂
I have a similar style linked here & it’s 25% off!

BEACH BAG // This is one of my fave amazon finds! I thought this was the perfect vacation purse/beach bag. It was pretty inexpensive, so it’s not the best quality, but it’s great for traveling around tropical islands or your fave beach town.

CUTE SUNNIES // Fun sunnies!! My favorite VAYCAY accessory. I bought this style in black and red. They can spice up an outfit and make me feel like a little diva.
I got both of mine from Forever 21, but found cute variety packs and linked them here

BODYSUITS // For sure fell in love with the bodysuit trend this year! I’m hooked. I got this lace tank as well as solid bodysuits from Forever 21 and a few other styles from ASOS.

ONE SHOULDER TOP // This black one shoulder top less than $20! It’s perfect back up for the nights you don’t know what to wear. You can style it up so many ways and it’s great for traveling! I wore it in Chicago one day to night when we didn’t have time to go back and change.

I’ve raved about all of these before, so here is a quick recap.
Hourglass Bronzer // The perfect bronze glow for every day.
Aveeno Daily Exfoliator // My skin needed this! I use it a few times a week.
Sally Hansen Nail Oil // I have horrible cuticles and this product saves them! Please try if your hands need some love, it will change your life.
it Cosmetics CC+ Foundation // Fell in love with this foundation and guarantee it will be in my make up routine forever. It’s light coverage and gives your skin even texture.
LUSH Dry Shampoo // Been my favorite since college, but had to include it since I just repurchased! Since I am brunette and it’s a white product, I put it on roots at night. I’ll sleep with it in to help blend it, brush it out in the AM, and bam good to go.
Mitch Stone Conditioner // My hair loves this product. I use it every other time I condition my hair or when it needs some love.
Tarte Eyeshadow // The “don’t quit your day dream” pallet by Tarte was my FAVE. I’m obsessed with their eye shadows and the rose and shimmer colors!


My phone case! I loved this duo and y’all did too! It was one of my most popular “shop this picks” this year.

Celebrated FIVE years with my man! He’s pretty dreamy.

The Houston rodeo! Going to miss going to this multiple times each year! Highly recommend going if you ever have a chance.

Miller Lite. Haha let me explain… this is specifically because they don’t have this one in Ireland. I know most people trash it, but when you’re sweating your booty off in Texas at an outdoor bar it’s the most refreshing option. Also I just love it haha.
I read somewhere this little table topic and always ask my fam/friends. If each of your fingers on one hand were a drink tap (water already included) which 5 drinks could you not live without? Comment yours! Miller totally made my list haha.

We went to the PBR!! Cowboys walked through a fire ring with PBR lit up, rode bulls, and we ate Chickfila and drank beer. It was everything I dreamed of. Checking it off the bucket list 😉

JOHN MAYER!!! My total fave. This was my third time seeing him and he’s just as fab as I remembered.
PODCASTS //
The Morning Toast – daily pop culture news that also includes bachelor recaps.
Skimm This – for actual news but still in a fun way.
SONGS + ARTIST//
My playlists were filled with Dan & Shay + Old Dominion + Kacey Muscgraves + Taylor Swift + Jonas Brothers + Lewis Capaldi
Lost by Blake Rose – random but good
Sittin’ Pretty by Florida Georgia Line – older but good
New Light by John Mayer – because I obsess over every song he sings
Good as You by Kane Brown – omg give it a listen if you love country music or if you don’t


Celebrated 25 in VEGAS! I have a whole post on it linked here. It was a freaking blast.

Day trips/weekend trips around Texas! Like the previous year we hit up Dallas, San Antonio, and Austin. Here is a snap from Galveston in Houston.

Curacao for one of my big brother’s wedding! It was paradise and plus I got a new brother out of it 🙂 Here is a recap of my trip!

West Virginia! These two cuties are my grandparents. I go visit them in WV every summer. Here is a recap of that fab trip.

NYC with my best best friend! We didn’t get a cute picture together, so here is a snap from the trip. We are long distance BFF’s so why not meet in NYC?

Chicagoooo! One of my fave places ever. My man and I spent a long weekend here. Here is a recap of our trip!

NYC AGAIN…with my big brothers!! Because we couldn’t not all get together before I move to another country. I love them so so much. This was the best pic we got haha.


Home to see my sweet fam before the big move! Went from NYC to HHI to Columbia.

SPAIN…! When I got my one way ticket to Dublin, we went straight to Spain for a week! It was a blast and I’m going to get a trip recap up soon because I regret not doing one haha.
Thanks for another year of supporting my blog! Let’s see what 2020’s got!
Wishing y’all a fab + healthy new year.
