My word for this year is well-being and I chose it because I've been really lacking in taking care of myself. I'm not great at keeping in touch with friends, with doing what's best for my body, or minding my mental health. We're about halfway through the year and I can't say I'm doing a…
I’m a pessimist. Not because I see the world as only bad, even though it seems that way a lot of the time. But I’m a pessimist because I always expect the worst - that way I’m rarely ever disappointed. I don’t like to get my hopes up just to be let down. It’s happened…
In 6 months, it will be 2022. Did 2021 even happen? I'm still processing 2020. About a year ago today, I packed up my office in New Hampshire. I had only been there a handful of times since we were sent to work from home in March 2020. The whole building was quiet and our…
Seriously, if everyone was as nice as the girls I run into drunkenly in the bar bathroom, my self-esteem would be through the roof. But it's not. It's not for most of us. We are constantly trying to live up to what we see on the magazine covers or on the popular Instagram pages. We…
Favorite show: Virgin River Favorite memory: Going to my friend's baby shower! She is my first preggo friend and I'm so excited for her and it was so good to see her 🙂 Favorite Instagram: Got my first roll of film developed! Favorite tweet: We just signed on a lease extension for 2 years, making this place…

I naturally became invested in becoming an Instagram influencer and blogger and I love making content and connecting with people. I work in communications. Social media is basically…
Bex provided me the idea of a reverse bucket list, listing things I've already done that are kind of once in a lifetime things. So in my 28 years, here's a bunch of things I've done that I will never do again (probably). Graduated high schoolGraduated collegeHigh-fived a tarantulaTouched a slothHiked 9 miles in New…
As much as I do not want to admit I've been out of high school for 10 years, it's also nice to reflect on my life. I especially like to reflect on the parts of my life that were not-so-great, so I can see how much I've grown. High school was not good for me.…
There is something really inspiring about seeing everyone get outside and be happy and healthy after the year we've all had. I'm going to play a little dumb and pretend that all of these people are vaccinated and are doing what's best for the overall population, so bear with me. The state of New Jersey…
On April 23, 2020 I wrote a blog post on this exact topic. I will be the first to admit I've been thoroughly naïve through this whole pandemic, always thinking that things were about to get better. It's been over a year since I wrote that last post and now, finally, things are slightly resembling…
