NEW YEAR, NEW FEELS: SAYING GOODBYE TO 2017
On this day last year, I recapped 2016 and set out on a mission of sorts: to dedicate 2017 to me. To all the things I wanted to accomplish, without the influence of anyone else. And I followed through with this, due to pure necessity. Continue Reading
10 Things I Miss About Living in New York City
Today is the day that I trade in a snowy New York City for sunny California. And I am feeling ALL THE FEELS. I sobbed in my Uber last night and woke up this morning excited to see my family in less than 24 hours.

And isn’t that the same thing? Continue Reading
PUMPKIN SPICE AND EVERYTHING NICE
Over a cozy phone call to my mother the other night, she mentioned how much she missed the blog. Which got me thinking about how much I, too, miss the blog. I could include a million disclaimers about my lack of presence on this space {gag me, we have heard it all before}, but instead I would rather just write.
Because, ultimately, that is what I miss most.
So, if you would be so inclined, let’s talk about pumpkin spice and everything Autumn {read: nice} shall we?
NOTABLE NORMALCIES / 10.7.17
Hello, my people! It is undeniable, at this point, that my life here in New York has completely transformed from when I first arrived that snowy morning in January. I have lived in this wild city for nearly ten months, and my level of happiness has skyrocketed over the last few. Continue Reading
