DEAR BODY SHAMERS

I knew there was a definite possibility this could happen to me at some point. In fact, I prepared for it. When I first decided to launch this blog, my husband and I had a very real conversation about what making myself more visible on the internet actually means. Inviting people into your every day life- even a well-curated internet version of it- opens the door to a lot of opinions and comments. I got that. But I felt the value of connecting with people and creating content that resonated outweighed any negatives that might come my way. I…

WEAR I AM: 5 THINGS I’M LOVING RIGHT NOW

You know how when you stumble upon something cool and new, you immediately text all of your friends to say “OMG, we have to go here!” or “You have to try to this blablabla. You are going to lose your mind. It’s life changing!” This is like that. But in blog form. Read on to learn what I’m majorly crushing on right now. 1. TurnGram Photo Concierge Service Call me old fashioned, but the problem with living in a digital world is that we lose tangibility. I’m just as cell-phone and computer dependent as the…

A PLEDGE FOR 2018

Hello, old friends! I hope you all had an amazing holiday. After a much needed break, complete with some serious unplugging, a lot of movies, and a week long vacation in the Caribbean (more on that later!) it’s really good to see you all again.2017 was definitely a year for the books, though I’ve yet to determine what category to file that book under. I think we can all agree that this past year tried our patience and challenged our acceptance of the social, cultural and political climate around us. Was it rocky? Heck yes. But it…

NET NEUTRALITY 101: WHAT TO KNOW & WHAT TO DO

This Thursday, the Federal Communications Commission will vote on a proposal to end net neutrality. I’m sure you’ve heard. You’ve seen the articles in your newsfeed. You’ve followed the hashtags. But what does this mean for you?Net neutrality means equal access to the internet… FOR ALL. The vote taking place on Thursday is with intent to dismantle the current policy in place that prevents internet service providers (like AT&T, Comcast, and Verizon) from deciding what customers can access on the internet, all while turning a big profit, of course. Let’s liken it…

IS EVERYONE LISTENING TO PODCASTS WITHOUT ME?

Short answer: YES.It’s been brought to my attention- by pretty much everyone I know- that I’ve seriously been missing out on the podcast front. I can’t really give you a reason why I haven’t ever listened to any. I know they’re educational and impactful, and in a lot of instances shed light on so much that is happening politically and socially in our world today- which I am ALL FOR. If I’m being honest, I think I felt overwhelmed and didn’t really know where to begin. How do you know what’s…

I KEPT A GRATITUDE JOURNAL. HERE’S WHY.

Hi guys! I feel like I owe you all an apology for being a pretty bad friend the last two weeks. I know I’ve been a tad absent, and for good reason. Life has been a bit nuts for my family, as we’ve been navigating an unplanned and somewhat difficult health matter for one of my parents. I’ve been struggling to find a way to balance being honest and forthright about what’s happening in my life- you all know how much I believe in making this space a place where we can all be open about…
