Last week, I witnessed a woman pay $89 for a simple winter hat. It was knit, black, and had a pom-pom on it – that’s it. While it was very cute, it would have been just as cute with a $10 price tag. I wanted to yell out to the woman that she could find […]
I would say I’m quite brave when it comes to my hair. No, I don’t mean I’ve tried the half-shaved look or that I’ve dyed my hair pink (unless pink highlights in middle school count), but I tend to go from one extreme to the other. Even as a kid, I once went from ultra-long […]
November is National Diabetes Month. The goal is to spread awareness of the disease that is so often misunderstood and stigmatized. As I mentioned in my diabetes series earlier this fall, diabetes kills more people per year than AIDS and breast cancer combined. Type 1 diabetes is responsible for an estimated loss of life expectancy […]
If you’ve been following my blog for a while, you may remember one of my first ever book reviews. It was for the novel Me Before You by Jojo Moyes, which I have raved about to anyone that will listen for the past couple of years. Yes, years. I read it during the winter of my senior year […]
Earlier this fall, my mom warned me to stock up on canned pumpkin because of an expected shortage this year. Knowing how many cans of it I went through last year, I rushed over to the grocery store and bought eight cans. Several weeks later, I had yet to open one. As weird as it sounds, I was […]
A couple of weeks ago, my friend Melissa and I went to Boston Hill Farm in North Andover. We had gone apple picking earlier in the day, but I wouldn’t rest until we fit in another fall activity on that beautiful day! As much as I miss being able to sit poolside in the middle […]
We all remember the days when denim miniskirts ruled our middle school world. We envied the girls with the expensive Abercrombie & Fitch versions. We held our arms down by our sides to make sure our skirts reached the tips of our fingers so we could wear them to school. We fiddled with our Uggs […]
On Tuesday, Target announced it’s newest collaboration. This time, though, it’s not with a designer. The company announced that they will be partnering with Who What Wear to launch an apparel and accessories collection. There are two particular things about this collab that spell big change for fashionistas high and low. First of all, this marks Target’s first […]
An outfit a day keeps the doctor away… or is it “apple?” Either way, I killed two birds with one stone this Columbus Day. I finally went apple picking, and it could not have been a more gorgeous day. It was the perfect opportunity to wear my brand new Vineyard Vines anchor skirt! The skirt and […]
I’m normally more of a fiction gal, but lately I’ve been into reading some non-fiction, business-centered books. I’ve been feeling more entrepreneurial than ever before. I obviously run this blog myself and try to keep up with it. I also have two jobs…and counting. I say and counting because I have the opportunity to take […]
