One of my favorite things in the world is packing up a bag and going on a picnic - whether it’s at the beach or a side stroll in Germany, it’s an incredibly relaxing and peaceful way to spice up a meal or snack. I don’t go on a lot of picnics in the United … Continue reading Packing a Picnic
I’ve spent a good portion of my adult life traveling and it’s one of my proudest accomplishments. I’ve never had travel anxiety or stress once I step onto the airplane, but the moments leading up to crossing the threshold between airport and airplane are pure agony for me. I’ve had this incredible Germany/France trip planned … Continue reading I’ll Hopefully Go to Paris
It’s pretty surreal to know that I’m going to be spending my birthday in quarantine this year. I had it all planned out - I would work the baseball game on the 17th (my actual birthday) and then G and I were going to meet my family at the Four Seasons and have a relaxing … Continue reading Quarantined Celebration!
When I went to college in 2014, I was stoked to meet the love of my life. Tinder was a thing but Bumble hadn’t quite dropped yet so I was prepared to do it the good-ole-fashioned-way. But, come summer of 2016, I had moved to Austin from Germany and I was ready for all the … Continue reading The Birds & The Bumble
I’ve always day-dreamed about a cup of iced-coffee, every morning, from a handsomely bearded man. But, until that day happens and as viruses continue to flood the winter season, I’ll take my scorching hot tea with a side of routine. I’ve always struggled with how to make tea, what tea should be drank at what … Continue reading A Cuppa for You & Me
I recently booked a trip to Heidelberg and Paris for a reunion with my best friend before her wedding and a getaway for G’s graduation - so I’ve been feeling super positive about all of the planning. Last year, G and I went on a beach getaway to Puerto Rico and I’m excited to show … Continue reading Like Royalty
I’m a huge vacation planner and am already planning my next vacation, basically six months out. I look forward to it all year, month, week...whatever. If I’ve learned anything in my last year of working for my organization, it’s that sometimes PTO is ignored. It doesn’t take long for me to get frustrated, give in … Continue reading Out of Office Replies
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
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. If you’ve caught on, that means I spend two important meals and lots of snacks at my work space. As I try to ditch my … Continue reading Hungry for Work (Snacks)
