Last month I went on a week-long vacation with my family to Emerald Isle, NC. My family has been going on this trip almost every year since my mom was 18. Because I've gone there my whole life, it holds a special place in my heart. Emerald Isle is a town on Bogue Banks Island off of the coast. It's…
Today marks the celebration of Midsummer. Last year a horror movie was released entitled Midsommar. In this terrifying film, we watch a relationship between the main characters Dani and Christian struggle to stay afloat while wishing for its demise. Their relationship is clearly unhealthy, but for one reason or another, they try to hang on. I don't want to spoil…
I know it's now officially summer and coziness probably isn't on your mind right now, but this months faves are all about what keeps me cozy in my makeshift reading nook.
Now that Arizona is consistently hitting 100 degrees every day, this month's faves are almost all about coping with the hot weather.

Let's talk about cruises! In December of last year, I went on a 5-day cruise with my boyfriend and his friends to Mexico. I read through every article and blog post I could find about our trip before we left, and I'm so glad that I did. I was the most prepared and it definitely paid off.
After 6 weeks of self-quarantining, it's safe to say my online shopping is at an all-time high. If you can't tell, self-care has been a big focus of my latest purchases.
Now that the U.S. is about a few weeks deep into living with coronavirus (COVID-19), most of us are spending our days in our homes with only our pets and roommates. For a lot of us, this change has brought on anxiety and has turned our lives upside down. Some people have lost their jobs. The grocery stores have been…
Birthdays have never been a stressful time for me. Usually, it's just an excuse to spend time with my friends and get showered in gifts. Today I turned 25 and I have been in full-on crisis mode for weeks. I have a lot that I want to accomplish and I feel like time is flying by. While there are a…
