9 times out of 10 I start work emails with that exact salutation. Professional? probably not. Do I hope that it catches the reader's attention with a sort of friendly flair? absolutely. So... Hello there! Welcome to my blog. I hope you'll stop by often and stay a while. Now- on to the awkward "first …
A Very 4th of July at Old Navy
I can't be the only one who thinks its preposterous that the 4th of July is this weekend. What on earth happened to June? No matter what your plans are this coming holiday, I have you covered. When it comes to classic, all American style at a great price, I shop Old Navy. When I …
In the Spring of 2020…
Have you ever read one of those quotes where someone says " I know you're tired" and think- "please stop pretending you understand, you have no idea." They annoy me. Why? Because I never felt like I needed permission to feel a certain way- until this week. These past few months have been crazy- to …
Review: Golden Star Beauty
I have spent the past 10 years trying to nail down the perfect sunless tanning routine. I can very much remember the 2010 version of me walking around in my bright yellow Victoria's Secret PINK tracksuit, white Air Force 1 sneakers and a very bad fake tan thanks to Jergens. I was a sight to …
One Year Later
I have no idea how we got here. A year ago I was sitting in a hotel room, alone in Phoenix, Arizona for a work trip I had impatiently waited years to take. On a high from traveling across the country for the first time, I felt this creative spark create a blaze within me. …
Smile Brilliant: Cari PRO Ultrasonic Electric Toothbrush

Adventures in The Happiest Place on Earth
I recently took the trip of a lifetime with my family. After years of planning we finally took the ultimate Disney vacation to celebrate my parent's 40th anniversary. While planning, we went back and forth on where and how to take this trip: we looked at renting a house and visiting Disney World for a …

first impression- super shred
Like many, I usually set out into a new year with lofty goals of what I hope to accomplish. I will be self aware enough to say that I often fall flat on my face and give up as soon as I can. I have the best of intentions but will find the easy way …
Why Hello 2020!
Truth: New Years Eve usually makes me a little sad. I think it's the same feeling I get once my birthday passes. Expectations are at an all time high and usually it falls a little short. In the past 29 years of my life I've only celebrated New Years Eve outside of my house twice- …
Remembering Ashley
Last night as I was laying awake thinking about things, I remembered where I was 8 years ago. I don’t often do that because more often than not- the nights and days are awfully insignificant. With the help of Facebook, I know that 8 years ago today I wasn’t feeling all too well. At the …
