We’ve all been through a stage in our life where we can’t commit to anything or anyone. Some longer than others and that’s okay. Our generation looks at commitment issues as such a negative term. It’s like taboo, basically. Yes, we get it. We’re heartless We don’t care about anyone but ourselves We avoid everything […]
Fall is basically here! You know I’m falling behind when I still have a puffy fur jacket in my closet. I’m not freezing my butt in Aspen anytime soon so that needs to go. Tailgates (or boulevards), fall brunches, pumpkin patches, haunted houses and all these fall festivities are around the corner but what to […]
Warning: This is a mini-rant, so please ignore if you despise complaining We all grow up. Some more quickly than others while some at a very excruciating slow pace (me). But what is the definition of being 100% mature. Better question, who even wants to be 100% mature. To be honest, I’m forever going to be […]
Never would I ever expect to eat Ghengis at 4am in the morning but hey, I’m traveling. Have you ever noticed whenever we travel we never question our actions because hello, we’re on vacation?!

The girl who spends hours on contouring to run into the guy she’s been social media stalking since Monday compared to […]
It’s near that time, where everyone starts deciding which path they’re wanting to head north on forever. It’s almost utterly impossible to choose, whether the paths are chock-full of rose gold pebbles headed to the fast lane or just grassy paths abundant with daisies headed to sweet simplicity. Graduation is one year away and yet […]
I can just about guarantee that every family has encountered a divorce in their own or extended family. The reasons for divorce can be compacted into three major reasons. 1. Parents divorcing because they fell out of love and admiration. 2. Irreconcilable differences that never seemed to have a solution. 3. Realizing and agreeing that […]
We’re all thankful for family, friends, the life we live, etc. Thanksgiving is the day of gratitude yet some of us skim the whole year without a mere thought of appreciating what we have. I know I don’t live a life I’m technically proud of but I thought just maybe I was living a somewhat […]
Who else dreads the future of 9-5’s, serious relationships and responsibilities other than making it to your 9 am. Who yearns for independence, personal choices and of course, adulting. Even with all the positives aligned, there’s something tragic about growing up. Then again, something exhilarating. But, who said I can’t have my cake and eat […]
