Taking pictures are one of those things that people tend to feel strongly about. Most folks fall into 1 of 2 camps. The one that’s always taking photos, and the one that avoids the camera like the plague. I like taking photos, always have. So I’m sharing my tips for how to pose for better […]

Today’s my 33rd birthday. I’ve been simultaneously looking forward to and dreading this day for the last several weeks. This year has been…. intense is the only way I know how to describe it. I’ve had the highest of highs and low lows. My relationships have changed. I know who my village is, and I’ve […]

A few weeks ago I polled my Instagram followers about what they wear to the airport. I had a work trip coming up, and I was trying to figure out what I wanted to wear. I got alot of responses, and the overall theme was that everyone wanted to be comfortable and low maintenance. When […]

I’ve been thinking about my relationship with ambition lately. What exactly is the price of ambition. Having it, needing it, using it. I think I’ve hit my wall with ambition. I’ve always prided myself on being ambitious and leading with it and leaning into it. But now, I’m not so sure. The Price of Ambition […]

One of my favorite things to do is host. I am the de facto Martha Stewart of my friend group. I love a good theme, a matching menu, and picking decor to share with my friends. Recently I went out to my friend Leah’s farm for a picnic, and invited two of my closest girlfriends. […]

Grief has been on my mind lately. Specifically, living with grief and loss. I’ve reached a point in my life where many people around me are experiencing loss for the first time. It’s both startling and foreign to me. My dad and granddad died within 6 weeks of each other when I was 11. My […]

I’ve got money on my mind, specifically credit and credit scores. Everyone wants to know how to fix credit. As someone who got hip to the credit game a bit late, I’ve learned a lot in the last few years. Good credit, bad credit, no credit, wherever you fall on the spectrum, you need credit. […]

I don’t know about y’all but my grocery bill has gotten out of control. Inflation has everything more expensive, and has hit grocery prices particularly hard. I never thought about raising chickens until I paid $7 for eggs. With that being said there was a time where I had a very strict grocery budget, and […]

Happy New Year friends! If you didn’t finish 2022 strong, that’s okay. If 2023 is starting off slow, that’s okay too. Let’s all make a vow to be kinder to ourselves this year. With that being said I’m feeling rather ambitious at the top of the year. I’ve set a lot of goals for 2023, […]
