One year ago this week I was preparing to graduate college and enter into the real world… It already seems like a lifetime ago, but I can remember a few weeks before spring break when my parents sat me down to “surprise” my mom with a trip on Easter weekend. Little did I know that the surprise was in fact for me. I have been absolutely obsessed with Hamilton ever since the first time I listened to the album. I played the songs on repeat for months (and still do, honestly), learned every …
Charleston Charm
Spring is in the air, things are starting to bloom, and I’m getting a serious travel bug! Now that I’m officially out of school, that means no more spring break (I think they “forget” to tell you this part when they talk about growing up), and so seeing so many people I know traveling to crazy destinations has me itching to go somewhere!

I’m really looking forward to the warmer weather and the chance to get outside a little bit more, but I have to say that I’m really sad to say goodbye to cozy winter reading in my pjs.

BUT transitioning into spring is the perfect time to pick up some new …

So when it comes to prioritizing, sometimes the “fun” activities fall to the wayside because essential activities like “laundry” and “showering” come first. Ugh. But, in 2018 I’ve been learning how to make time for the things …
Blind Date With A Book
Have you ever shopped in Forever 21? I’m sure that’s a silly question, because at this point, probably everyone here has at least set foot in the store. There’s two scenarios that we all know that can happen to you when you walk into Forever 21. You walk in with a purpose, looking for the perfect basic, black skirt to go with that new top you got for your birthday. When you walk out, you’ve either got that black skirt PLUS four new tops, a few sweaters, a pair of jeans, and some platform …
