As my family will tell you (particularly my Dad), I am all about the latest healthy food trends. Even when they appeal to no-one else. I’ve done black bean brownies, chickpea cookie dough, zucchini cookies, every kale smoothie in the book…you name it, I’ve probably tried it. The latest veggie trend is significantly less scary: cauliflower […]
A little over a month ago, I turned 25. A quarter-century! I know to most adults it sounds impossibly young. But to people my age, it represents the beginning of a new chapter of life. It seems to be the first birthday that brings people anxiety about their age. I’ll admit, the significance of it […]
I wrote this post entirely on my phone while I waited for my flight in Laguardia Airport on Friday night, so apologies for any errors–but I find that the best explanations of my struggle come from raw, unedited moments like that! Please give it a read in honor of National Diabetes Month. I will never […]
Ever since Gone Girl hit shelves years ago, it seems like every novel with a dark topic and a crazy plot twist has been likened to it. This bothered me so much.

Unless you have Type 1 Diabetes, you don’t know what it’s like. No, that’s not meant to be rude. And yes, the same could really be said about anything in life. The difference is that diabetes is one of the most misunderstood illnesses out there. In addition to dealing with this life-threatening disease day in […]
I currently live alone in a studio apartment. It happened more out of necessity than choice – I had barely any time to find an apartment in a new state, and I didn’t know anyone yet. Turns out, I actually love living the solo life. I’m the type of person that needs my own space. […]
I haven’t exactly done much cooking in my new apartment. Unless you count reheating. I just find that my schedule can be unpredictable, so I don’t really plan meals in advance. By the time I get home from work and veg out for a bit, I’m not into the idea of preparing a ‘real’ meal. […]
About two weeks ago, a news story came across my phone that immediately got my attention. I quickly wrote up a Facebook post while I was between tasks at work to express how it made me feel. Although I’m a little late on posting it to the blog, I figured I should use this platform […]
Obviously, I’ve been more than a little M.I.A. lately. Who knew starting a new life would be so distracting?! I’m quite behind on posting book reviews for you guys. Since I read these ones before the madness of moving even began, let’s just say the details aren’t the freshest in my memory. Because of this, […]
Those of you that follow fashion news will probably have seen these photos already, but I just couldn’t risk anyone missing out on them. Selena Gomez, one of my all-time favorite girl crushes, just debuted in Louis Vuitton’s latest campaign. Needless to say, Selena looks so fierce in the photos. I feel like her versatility […]
