In the last decade, I traveled near and far and fell in love both through new places and new faces. At coffee with a friend, we were talking about three words that we would use to describe ourselves, and one that came to mind was, Francophile. When she asked me what a French-inspired woman embodies, … Continue reading Pardon My French
The memory isn’t lost on me - my mum had bought us McDonald’s, put my parents’ small tv in my brother’s room and loaded it with a VHS. She was hosting a Pampered Chef party. It was fun, cute and social for mums and wives. Now, the multi-level marketing companies are pervasive and intrusive. It’s … Continue reading Sounds Like an MLM
The Good List: Bed days, ordering in & being absolutely lazy What I’m Here For Week Two Slump: After the success of last week, I went back on my cooking grind.

My job requires me to be at work from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. This typically means that I leave my house at 7:45 a.m. and get home after 6.

Call me old-fashioned but we all know that the conversations we have now would make our grandparents clutch their Bibles. Politics are tricky. Talking politics … Continue reading A Clear Way to Talk Politics

Getting a bonus is an absolute privilege & it’s so important for me to put it to good use. I have my eye on a total gift … Continue reading More Money, Less Probs
I was walking around Target on Saturday night and I truly screamed when I saw that there were already back-to-school supplies out (I mean, come on, it was still frickin’ June). But then, it got me thinking about all the green, young & excited people about to go to college for the first time. I … Continue reading To Room or Not to Room With
I traveled an absurd amount over the past week. From catching a red-eye to the West (best) Coast to a red-eye two days later home AND then a 10-hour drive to Texas the same day, I realized how easy it is to be tired. Yes, that’s a real sentence. I also realized as I sat … Continue reading A Much Needed Revival
Can I harp on self-care any longer? I know you’re probably thinking that you get it and are totally aware that I’m constantly working on myself.
