For my first post in the Interview Quick Question series, we’ll work through the standard strengths and weaknesses question. Chances are if you’ve ever interviewed for a job you’ve been asked this question. You absolutely need an answer to this prepared and in your arsenal. One thing I want to preface this with is that these answers need to come…
For Valentine's Day this year, Shaun bought me the Couple's Edition of The Adventure Challenge. If you somehow haven't seen 500 Instagram ads about it, it's a book with a bunch of date ideas in it. The fun part is that you don't know what the dates are until you scratch them off. Each date has a few clues to…

If you've been to Arizona, Colorado, or Texas you may have eaten at one of their restaurants (Postino, Joyride, Federal Pizza, Windsor, and Churn). This restaurant group has been a staple in my life since college. Shaun and I even…

It’s no secret that the holiday season is STRESSFUL. Between shopping for presents, decorating, navigating family drama, and now dealing with COVID, a lot of us are going to get to the end of our rope pretty quickly. That’s why it’s going to be so important that we prioritize sleep this holiday season. I’m a bit all over the place…
Did you miss book club on 11/7 where we discussed The Happiness Project by Gretchin Rubin? Never fear! You can still watch the recording on IGTV or read a quick recap here!
So now that it almost feels like fall in Arizona, it's time to break out the apple-flavored drinks! It's still over 90 degrees most days, so I figured I could just mix the cider with tequila and see what happened.
