I figured I’d take a break from writing about wedding planning and events to talk about the true love of my life - writing lists. I have such an odd obsession with making lists and I feel like I might be the only person who takes it to the level that I do. I have … Continue reading An Ode to the To-Do

Laying Off My Furlough
I haven’t been too vocal about being furloughed for six months, unfortunately due to feeling humiliated and embarrassed, as well as having bitterness to the entire situation. I returned to work at the beginning of this month and it’s been quite the adjustment. I learned to reframe my mindset after having a strict schedule of … Continue reading Laying Off My Furlough
Rise Up
As August sipped away like a bottle of wine, I closed off the month by attending the Everygirls Rise 2020 Virtual Conference with the Every Girl Media Group and LaMarca Prosecco! From hearing from incredible professionals from Macy’s, Instagram and more to reaching into those who have left the corporate world to start their own … Continue reading Rise Up
Creating with Toxic Coworkers
You’ve heard of work-life balance, we all have. Your career & vocation, if they’re lucky enough to be the same thing, are fulfilling and enriching and make going to work a delight every day. Even through stress, you’re able to get your job done and feel satisfied and appreciated. Does that sound crazy? I’m sure … Continue reading Creating with Toxic Coworkers
The Birds & The Bumble
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
Coronacation
On Saturday, March 14, I received a call from my doctor that said I was at high risk for contracting Coronavirus Disease 2019 or COVID-19. At first, I was terrified for more reasons than one, but mainly because being Vitamin Deficient Anemic means that I don’t create enough red blood cells to fight off serious … Continue reading Coronacation
A Cuppa for You & Me
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
Like Royalty
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
Out of Office Replies
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
Pardon My French
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
