Life & All The Things In Between
Personalizing a home can be a daunting process; yet, flawless Pinterest boards make it look easy to create a cohesive and stylish space. So, armed with inspo photos and after measuring every square inch of my condo, I dipped my toe into making some small updates. I quickly become overwhelmed if I don’t make a [...]
Let me start by saying I love pizza and hamburgers as much as the next person. My clothing isn’t as forgiving if I maintain a fast food diet. To balance eating healthy with eating more indulgently, I stick to eating healthy at work. If I take the time to prep my lunch I’m less likely [...]
Saving money has always been the easy part of finances. I remember the excitement of going with my mom to the bank to open my first savings account in middle school. I saved money from my birthday to deposit into the account; I felt so responsible. As I’ve grown, so have my saving goals. Que [...]
Welcome to 2021! It’s a new year, which means I’ve got fresh, bigger, and better goals for the year. Last week I reviewed my “2020 Resolutions.” Even though 2020 was a bit more hectic than I bargained for, I completed most of my goals for the year.

It’s the last day of 2020! Although this has been a challenging year, I am proud of how resilient people have become.

If you’re looking for an easy, unique, and delicious hors d'oeuvre to make for a Christmas party this is the recipe for you! I got this recipe idea from Aaron after he ordered a similar dish while at brunch. He enjoyed them so much I wanted to try to make them at home, and see [...]
At this point in the holiday season influencers and bloggers alike are creating gift guilds for every person and price point imageable. While I can appreciate the effort put into those guides, inevitably, I will find myself standing in a grocery store scrambling to find a last-minute gift. If someone was forgotten on your gift [...]
A whole new world of thrifting has opening up since purchasing the condo. Until now, I've never needed to look for decorative items or had the need to fully design a space that reflected my style. So over the past month, I've made several voyages to local thrift stores scavenging for lost treasures. The thrifting [...]
I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving Holiday! I'm still recovering from all the delectable food (and leftovers) I've eaten this past week. I spent the majority of the month settling into a routine in my new home. In such a short period of time I was able to change some minor details of the [...]
