My 2021 Book Recommendation

My favorite book that I read this year is hands down Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert.

It’s been a bit since I’ve read it but I loved the basic premise; a newlyContinue reading “My 2021 Book Recommendation”

Thrifting with Thred Up

I grew up thrifting with one of my Aunts. We had a favorite store in Paterson, NJ that we’d easily spend hours at. I’d comb through every aisle looking at clothes, purses, shoes, jewelry, dinnerware, books and more. I remember my favorite thing to look at was the jeans. When I was in high schoolContinue reading “Thrifting with Thred Up”

Here’s Why I Booked a Trip to Myrtle Beach and What I’ve Been Doing

This week I’m coming to you from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina! I booked this trip sometime in January because I needed an escape from winter!

Tinder, Bumble, Hinge, Plenty of Fish, Coffee Meets Bagel, The League, Happn, Okcupid, the list for dating apps goes on and on. Can I talk about Match for a second?

How to Meet Someone

One of my favorite questions to ask people is how they met their significant other. I don’t know why, maybe my hopeless romantic is showing! Regardless I love hearing the “how we met” stories because they’re usually different from what I’m expecting. One of my favorite stories involves an in town romance between a goodContinue reading “How to Meet Someone”
