Hey girl hey - happy Tuesday! How is your week so far??? I sometimes think Tuesdays can be worse than Mondays - yannno the feeling? Mondays have a bad rap, sure. But Tuesdays? People EXPECT Monday's to be really Monday-ish. Then Tuesday sneaks up like BAM. The week isn't even close to being over, the weekend is far in the rearview - you're not even ... Continue Reading »

Remember how GLORIOUS it felt around Memorial Day weekend as a kid in school, knowing that summer vacation was thiiiiiiiiis close??? Oh my sweet Lord baby Jesus, I remember it too well. Fast forward to college, and summer starts a bit earlier (hollah!) - and now as an adult, I like to think summer starts whenever the heck we want it to start. ;) So ... Continue Reading »
Is it just me, or did this weekend FLY by??? (Or really, 2017? It's almost September...). J and I were planning on having a lowkey weekend at home, relaxing. While we got to relax a bit, it turned into so many spontaneous plans! We ended up heading up to my grandparents on a whim to surprise my pop for his 78th birthday (woo!), then ended up ...

I literally just got home from Mexico - ¡hola a los Estados Unidos! There is oh so much work waiting for me now (only downside of being your own boss - no one is there to take over when you're "on vacation"), but TBH all I really wanna do is watch Bachelor in Paradise + snuggle my kitties. Even tho we're home now, Instagram is going to keep on ... Continue Reading »

Break out the firecrackers + sparklers...the 4th of July has come and gone, and summer is really HERE. I swear I've been hallucinating when I walk to my mailbox that I'm really walking towards the ocean...here's hoping I don't try going for a swim. HA. ;) TBH, summer isn't my favorite. I'm not a fan of being hot with no relief. I hate feeling like ... Continue Reading »
This summer has been electric, to say the least. Electric, thunderous...and super hot n' humid. Demi Lovato says we're cool for the summer, but I say we’re a *bit* more than glistening on the East Coast. #casual. I think I graduated from college and summertime just woke up from a nap and was rearin’ to go. I'm working in "the real world," so it's ... Continue Reading »
Summertime and the livin’ is eaaaaaasy – and hot, humid, sticky and sweaty. Bubble burster, amiright? For as much as I love a good vacation, sometimes I feel like the only time I truly enjoy the summer season in all its glory is when I’m ON vacation, on a beach, soaking it all up. Otherwise, I’ve gotta pull up my hair, re-apply deodorant twice a ... Continue Reading »

The dog days of summer are HERE, ladies and gents! Are you sweating yet? Since J and I are currently under the same roof, we're together all the time (minus work, GNO's, me sneaking off to Target, etc.). While we'd both love to go out on fancy filet mignon dinners every Friday night, our bank accounts would run drier than the California drought. So ... Continue Reading »

Isn’t Charlie Brown the greatest? Besides being these ridiculously insightful adult-appropriate cartoons, the holiday-themed specials make for fabulous half hour breaks amidst pumpkin carving on Halloween and tree-decorating after Thanksgiving dinner. ("A Charlie Brown Christmas" = CLASSIC. Not to jump the gun or anything...).But, IT’S TIME, ... Continue Reading »

If that didn’t grab your attention, you either live way too exhilarating of a life or you’re way too numb to the realities of city living. Either way, start your memoir now. But back to the hook. On this day ... Continue Reading »
