Happy almost end of 2018! I hope you had an amazing Christmas/Kwanza/Hanukkah and holiday season in general! The past few weeks have been crazy in the best way possible, so pardon my absence. To kick off my birthday festivities, Doug and I went to Disneyland in Anaheim for the weekend (it was our first time!). A few days after we got back from the magical land, Doug and my best friend Katie surprised me by flying her out here from Virginia to stay with us for the weekend! I about had a heart attack when she first walked through the door, but we had the best time touristing around the ... [Read More]

The Ultimate Gift Guide: 85 Gift Ideas For Everyone On Your List
Happy December! I'm so excited that it's FINALLY the best month of the year! My birthday is December 10th and Christmas is a mere 3 weeks away, so cheers to that. I started my new job as a Senior Account Manager at a social media agency in LA two weeks ago, and this past week I was traveling in NYC (see pics from the trip on Instagram) to meet some of our clients. The main account I am overseeing includes the Mezzacorona, Stemmari and Rotari wine brands (give them a follow)! I've always wanted to work with in wine in some way, so I'm stoked about this new opportunity and can't ... [Read More]
Museum of Ice Cream Los Angeles
I was reminded by Timehop that one year ago today, Doug took me to the Museum of Ice Cream in Los Angeles as an early birthday present! Time flies when you're eating ice cream and looking cute ??♀️. If you're not familiar with the Museum of Ice Cream, it's a pop-up installation that celebrates Ice Cream, creativity, imagination, and connection. It's traveled to New York, Los Angeles, and Miami, with a permanent space in San Fransisco. The happy, pink and Willy-Wonka-esque experience is incredibly inspiring and fun, filled with ice cream stations, sprinkle pools, floating ... [Read More]
5 Thanksgiving Outfit Ideas (That You Can Shop From Your Own Closet)
Hi! So even though I have a ton going on right now (including starting my new job tomorrow morning!), the first thing I thought when I woke up this morning was, "what am I going to wear on Thanksgiving?!" My first instinct was to head to Amazon, ASOS or the mall to find an outfit (because, instant gratification and 2-day shipping). But honestly, that is such a bad habit! It's not practical or savvy to go shopping for an outfit EVERY time you have an event, but I'm definitely guilty of doing it. I'm trying to save money because the holidays (and my birthday!) are coming up, so ... [Read More]

I put out Thanksgiving decorations last weekend, and they lasted all of four days ?. The house currently smells of fresh balsam, holly berry, and joy, just the way I ... [Read More]
