*cues Empire State of Mind* I found myself in the Big Apple for the first time this past weekend! One of my best friend’s walked in a fashion show for New York Fashion Week. Of course, I could not miss out on the opportunity to see her slay! Plus, I have always wanted to visit, so it was a win-win. Even though we were only there for the weekend, we literally experienced living like New Yorkers. If you are thinking about taking a trip, here are some things you should know: You will do a lot of walking: If you do not bring your walking shoes, I guarantee you will…

If you are reading this, then know that you are doing yourself a favor! Trader Joe’s is one of those stores you didn’t know you needed, but yeah, you do! And, for those who don’t have one in their area, I’m sorry, that sucks. My first time going was around seven months ago, and there’s no turning back.

I like to think of myself as a popcorn fanatic, and this one tastes…

As women, we often neglect ourselves because we are always too busy taking care of others. Let’s change that. Here are six things that you can do when dating yourself: Mani/Pedi: Really, this one is just an excuse to be in a nail salon lol, but seriously, who doesn’t love a little pampering?

As my one-year “blogiversary” approaches, I have spent some time reflecting over the past year. When I decided that blogging was something I truly wanted to do, I felt excited yet nervous. I didn’t know much, I had limited resources (an iPhone and crappy computer), and I was unsure of the future. Now, I am more confident, more experienced, and I’ve built some amazing relationships. Here’s what I’ve learned along the way: No amount of online research or tutorials will prepare you for the real thing: Yeah, I had to be said. When I first started blogging, I felt like I needed to take courses, watch a lot of Youtube…

Before going on vacay, we all spend countless hours on Google (or social media) finding things to do in the area. This past weekend I vacationed in Las Vegas for the time, and I had a great time. Here are 8 places to go while visiting: ATV tours: There are several companies that you can book a tour through, but the one I used was Adrenaline ATV tours.
