Summer is my favorite season. Fall competes hard, but there is no doubt about it my mood 100% improves in the summer time. We've already done so much, but I'm looking forward to a pandemic-free summer where we can make up a little for lost time. Here's my summer bucket list: Read 5 booksGo on…
I've spoken a lot about how the hardest part of the pandemic for me was losing a sense of joy. One of the things that brings me the most amount of joy is traveling, and obviously we haven't been doing much of that. I will cautiously say that things are finally feeling like they are…
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…
