There's very little excitement that comes with summer as you get older. You wait all year for the weather to turn warmer only to still be inside Monday through Friday from 9 to 5. You wish days away, fight for weekends, manage your paid time off for a little freedom - but it just isn't…
I've traveled to a lot of cool places. I made memories there, met people, had a great time with great people, experienced and learned new things. And I miss it. I miss it almost like it was a person who made an impact on my life and then vanished. But we can't live in the…
Since it's no time to travel right now, I thought I'd repost a blog about traveling! I went to Iceland in 2017, here's the story. About 6 months before the trip I saw this AMAZING Groupon for a cheap trip including a flight, hotel, and tour in Iceland. I had been on about 3 dates…
Spring is near!! I can feel the cold chill of winter slowly leaving New England (knock on wood). I felt pretty accomplished this winter and for once I didn't hate it. When living in NJ, I don't feel like you have a lot of options for things to do once it gets cold out. But…
Do you ever take the day off for no real good reason? I don't. I hate to feel like I've wasted my time. I usually save my paid time off for vacations or family outings where I'd need to travel, I don't use it to relax. This week, I had plans I had taken off…
Meet cute: a scene in film, television, etc. in which a future romantic couple meets for the first time in a way that is considered adorable, entertaining, or amusing. Because I base so many of my falling-in-love fantasies off of love novels and star crossed movies, I've always pictured my moment with "the one" as a…
I've been blogging for a long time, much longer than it feels! I still feel like a novice, most of the time just blurting out my thoughts and hoping someone can relate. I truly appreciate the people who have joined me on my journey here, some who have been so consistent with me that I…
I honestly can't stand all of the articles I read that are like "You're in your 20's! Quit your job and open up an ice cream shack in the Bahamas!" or "Don't worry about getting a job - backpack through Europe and find yourself!" Come on, I live with my parents and barely saved any…
Summer is my favorite season but it goes by so fast as a working adult. I don't have any kind of summer hours anymore and my time off has been limited since we went to Thailand. I do take advantage of doing a lot of summery type things in September, but this is where I've…
This summer is going by so fast, it feels like it never started! I keep thinking it's June, here we are at the end of July and I'm still trying to book appointments for June. We had quite a few roadtrips down to NJ this month, but I wouldn't have it any other way!
