As I explained in this previous post, Etsy has always been my go-to for gift giving. The products are incredibly unique, so you can pretty much guarantee the recipient doesn’t already have them. Plus, supporting small businesses and side hustles just makes you feel that heartwarming holiday spirit. I spent a silly amount of time […]
Buongiorno! While I think I’ve done pretty well *not* making my recent trip to Italy my entire personality, I basically have no choice but to talk about it on the blog, right? Cool, glad we agree. So, not to brag, but…it was epic. My boyfriend and I went at the beginning of October. We flew […]
“Waiiiit, did you go to Paris?!” – my boyfriend, sarcastically replying to my third consecutive social media post about my trip So, you may have heard…I went to Paris! In fact, I went to Paris with eight friends, both old and new, to go see Taylor Swift perform. Some say basic, others say iconic. If […]
If you’re confused as to whether you’re on the right blog, you’re not alone. I had assumed I would make it through my entire life on this earth without stepping foot in Mississippi. Actually, I hadn’t thought about it one way or another. But, life is nothing if not unpredictable! Long story short, my boyfriend […]
I may not be much of a camper, but I can totally get behind glamping. My best friend Annie and I had seen a post on Instagram (where else?) a few months back. It showed fancy tents on nearby Governors Island with a view of the Statue of Liberty. It seemed too good to be […]
Being stuck in your apartment to protect yourself from a potentially deadly virus isn’t fun. But on the bright side, we’re all in this together (cue the High School Musical soundtrack). I’ve rounded up some ideas for how to keep your mind right during the madness. If you need me, I’ll be on the tiny […]
It’s that time of year again. As we swap our wardrobes over from sundresses and flip flops to sweaters and boots, it’s the perfect opportunity for an organizational overhaul. This weekend, I finally tackled the seasonal closet switch that I’d been putting off for weeks. It’s honestly one of my least favorite tasks ever. I […]
For seven of the last nine years (nine?! woah) I’ve lived outside of Massachusetts. First, I was in Florida for college. Then, Connecticut. Now, New York. But no matter what, I always consider Mass my home. My former coworker used to tease me and say that I couldn’t hide the fact that I’m a Masshole if […]
Everyone has their own morning routine. Mine consists of pressing snooze about seven times and then finally panicking and shooting out of bed. I throw on clothes, brush my teeth and fly out the door—this all usually happens within a six minute period. And you thought I was high maintenance! Once I get to my […]
Sometimes you just need a couple of days with an old friend to center yourself. Lucky for me, my friend Kate came to visit last weekend and we had the best time. I haven’t had a chance to post about it until now, but I definitely didn’t want to skip the recap because there are […]
