While my most recent post may have led you to believe that I’m a cynic when it comes to love, that’s not the case. I appreciate a good love story just as much as, if not more than, the next girl. Just ask my brother, Matt – he’d be happy to crucify my rom-com favorites for […]
Dating Duds: Five Guys I’ve Met Online
Much to our elders’ confusion and dismay, online dating has become the go-to way for our generation to connect with potential partners. The way I see it, our peers are divided into two groups: those that use apps or websites to date, and those that pretend not to use apps or websites to date. From […]
It’s the Climb
My mother is one of the most selfless, caring people I know. But there’s no argument – she’s not a sentimental lady. Our family nickname for her is “The Little General” because she runs a tight ship, even at five feet tall. That’s why when she sent us all an email with a very sentimental […]
Elementary Eats: PB Banana Wrap
There are two facts about my eating habits that, if you’ve been following my blog for any length of time, you already know: I have the worst sweet tooth ever, and I’m the laziest cook ever. Needless to say, my “dinners” when I’m alone involve minimal ingredients and effort. But they always pack a sweet […]
Currently Crushing On: Kiernan Shipka
In the world of Instagram, everyone is obsessed with labeling celebrities as their “goals” – #RelationshipGoals, #HairGoals, #BodyGoals, etc. I follow plenty of jealousy-inducing celebs myself… I just never thought one of them would be a sixteen-year-old. Enter Kiernan Shipka. The Mad Men star is so freaking perfect that it baffles me. At that age, […]
Book Review: Crazy Rich Asians
Over. The. Top. That’s the best way to describe Kevin Kwan’s novel, Crazy Rich Asians. When I brought this one home from the library, the title was met by raised eyebrows from my family members. And no, the title is not some cutesy inside joke you’ll get once you read the book – it’s pretty […]
I’m a Barbie Girl
Two huge Barbie-centric things happened this week. So yes, you could say it’s a Barbie world. First, 19-year-old model Barbie Ferreira has been cast as the newest face of Aerie. Why is this a big deal, you ask? Because Ferreira has – wait for it – curves! I know, crazy, right? Ha. While it’s frightening […]
Love for Humanity
Last week, I visited one of my favorite hidden gems: Humanity Boutique in Lowell. My friend (and, you’ll notice, occasional photographer) Katie grew up in the next town over, so she knew about the cute shop long before I did. She brought me with her to scope it out one day, and I immediately loved […]
My Weekend in AZ: A Novel
This past weekend, I flew across the country to visit my best friend, Rachel. If you read my study abroad post, you’ll know that she was one of my randomly assigned roommates during my semester in Barcelona. I use the word “random” loosely, because not one ounce of me believes it really was. Anyway, enough of […]
