One of my goals for 2018 is to become more minimalist. I wish I could be one of those people who can fit all their clothes neatly into one dresser and one small closet and be able to pack up and move without having 700 bags and boxes but I’m not. I like things. And…

Valentine’s Day is quickly approaching and I have mixed feelings about it. I’m not one of those people who swears off Valentine’s Day as a fake holiday made up by the card company but I also don’t get overly excited for it. The first Valentine’s Day I really celebrated was in high school. There was…

If you don’t follow me on Instagram, which you should, then you may not know I’m the proud owner of the world’s cutest dog. Her name is Charlotte and to say I’m obsessed with her would be an understatement. I adopted her in early summer 2015 and next weekend she will be THREE YEARS OLD. …

I was 18 almost 10 years ago. Saying that out loud immediately makes me panic, feel like I can’t breath, and want to cry. Not because I wish I was still 18. Not because 30 is just around the corner. But because I feel like it was just yesterday and time is flying by so…

The other day my sister sent me a text. She said “literally your doctor has to be sitting behind me. He’s talking about a patient that took her first spin class then had the worst case of rhabdo he’d ever seen.” And that text is what sparked the idea to share the following TRUE story.…

Being in your 20’s is hard. It’s the decade filled with change, a bunch of unknowns, lots of new relationships, probably some time being single, moving to new places with new people and figuring it all out. One of the major keys to get through the chaos that is your 20’s is having friends who know…

This post was inspired by the Golden Globes, an event I look forward to watching every year. This year, the Golden Globes held a far different tone than I was used to. It focused on a powerful message about women empowerment. About how we shouldn’t settle for pay inequality, sexual harassment, and sexual assault. It…

Since Boston experienced a really gnarly snowstorm yesterday, I think it’s safe to say we’re really in the peak of winter now. And, I don’t know about you, but in the middle of the winter I start to hate EVERYTHING. I’m miserable, I feel like summer will never come, and am 100% done with having…

If you didn’t already know, I committed to writing a post every day in the month of January. It’s really hard to come up with content for 31 days but, it’s pretty easy to write 50 random facts about myself. Since it’s already a lengthy post, I’ll spare you a long intro and fingers crossed…

Whether you’re the kind of person who loves setting goals and making resolutions for the New Year, or you’re someone who thinks it’s overrated, we can all agree that there’s always room for improvement. We should all be striving to be better all year long, not just in January. So, here are 10 things you…

You can fit a lot of activity into 365 days. And while I could write a lengthy post recapping all the things I did to fill my year, it’s 2017 and most of us prefer visual content these days. So, in an effort to spare you the details, here’s the highlights of my 2017 in…

Living in New England you’d think I would have grown accustomed to the cold by now, but nope. Hard pass on anything below 50 degrees. That being said, blanket scarves have become my go-to accessory to fight the frigid and windy commute to work or just simply walking to my car. I’m obsessed with a…

Every New Year’s Eve I make the same resolution: to live a healthier lifestyle. Easy, right? You’d think so. But, in reality, it isn’t so simple. Making non-specific goals like this sets you up for failure because you can’t really track your success. After years of my own failure, I’ve learned that resolutions should be…

When I was younger I used to think that being life in your 20’s was #goals. Life would be great. I’d have money, a great job, a killer social life, probably be married (at least engaged), and living in a dope apartment or house. While some of those things are true, others definitely are not. …

I’m a big fan of sangria. I’m a big fan of Fireball. I’m also fairly basic, so when fall rolls around, I love all things apple. Coming up with a recipe for a drink that combines all these things was really a no brainer. If you need a fun drink for an upcoming Friendsgiving, Thanksgiving,…

Rejection of any kind can be a tough pill to swallow. I’ve had to deal with a lot of it in my life, and it never gets any easier. The good news is that everyone has been there at least once in their life so you’re not alone. Wallowing in self-pity and feeling sorry for yourself…

Unless you were born a Kardashian or found Instagram fame after a brief stint on The Bachelor, then you probably have to work pretty hard to pay your bills. Hopefully, you’re working a job you like or at least don’t mind spending a significant amount of your time at. But, speaking from experience, that’s not…

It’s only recently — within the past year or so, that I’ve really decided to buckle down and start saving my money. I should have started along time ago (mom and dad, you were right), but I’m here now and doing what I can every day to set a little bit more aside. As someone…

One of the most important tasks when it comes to blogging is planning. Even though it’s important, it’s also one of the most overlooked steps when it comes to creating content for your blog. It’s super easy to fall behind schedule if you’re not planning ahead. To stay on track, I created a Blog Content…

A couple weeks ago I binge watched 13 Reasons Why (I’m late to the game, I know) in a matter of two days. TWO DAYS! Can someone say, “get a life?” As ashamed I am that I watched 13 hours of TV in 48 hours, I couldn’t stop. I was on an emotional roller coaster.…
