I AM A…

What do you want to be when you grow up? Throughout our lives, we’re asked this question time and time again. When we’re little, our answers tend to be born out of our wildest imaginations. A baseball player, an astronaut, or a princess…

HINDSIGHT IN 2020

Hello, old friends. It’s a new year; it’s a new decade; and there’s oh so much I want to tell you. I kicked off 2019 declaring my word of the year- a word to use as a guiding factor in my personal…

YAY OR NAY? CLOTHING SUBSCRIPTION SERVICES

It finally happened. I gave this whole “clothing rental” thing a try. Other than a one-item/one-time foray into Rent-the-Runway, this was my first real go at it. I know, I know- I might be the last one to arrive at…

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…

WITH LOVE, PEACH

If it looks like activewear, feels like activewear, and wears like activewear…. it’s probably activewear. But what happens when it’s also made out of satin and velvet and is inspired by rich colors and Parisian architecture? If you’re me, you make an outfit with your best pair of heels & a statement necklace, and you go somewhere fabulous. Who doesn’t want to go to a party in their PJs?I recently discovered Peach, a brand that designs contemporary fashion for gym, work, and play, and immediately fell in love. What separates Peach from other athletic wear…

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…

GIVIN’ IT THE BOOT, FOR $100 OR LESS

Season after season I go through the same struggle; find a pair of OTK boots with a heel I can walk in, that don’t look too “Julia Roberts a la Pretty Woman”, and actually zip over my calves. And are cute, chic, and won’t eat up all of this month’s spending money, of course. Urban shoe myth? NOPE. They exist. I’ve found them (here). And I may never take them off again.Looking for a way to amp up your fall/winter shoe game while still giving your bank account the respect it deserves? I got…

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…

THIS ONE’S FOR THE GIRLS

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, making it pretty dang hard not to think pink right now. According to The National Breast Cancer Foundation, every two minutes a woman is diagnosed with breast cancer. Every. Two Minutes. That’s the amount of time it took you to click on this article and read the first two sentences. What’s more- every 13 minutes, a woman will die of breast cancer. Think about it; that’s probably the amount of time it took you to get your coffee at Starbucks this morning. I know I can’t be the only one…
