I’m working on deleting some old blogs because, well, who needs to hear about 19-year-old me’s drama and inner rantings? I came across this little gem, which speaks volumes about my life when I lived in a gorgeous 13th Century Carthusian Monastery in the foothills of the Austrian Alps with some of my favorite people. It still feels like a dream… Alright, I’m finally awake, and able to write…
Few things make me happier than discovering a new bit of culinary genius. On a recent trip to New York, I visited the Chelsea Market for the first time. Note that I have been to New York more times than I can count (it’s only 3.5 hours away from DC, and I have several friends who live there), and I HAD NEVER BEEN TO THE CHELSEA MARKET. #notOK. Anywho, at the…
HAPPY THURSDAY!!! I’m heading to Massachusetts this weekend to celebrate my friend’s baby’s first birthday! To help me get super excited, allow me to share a post from a previous Beantown trip… I wrote a while back about my trip to Boston, but I didn’t write much about actually being there.

Virginia Viogniers (a light dry wine) have been busting on to the…

Saturday some friends and I made the short trek up to Frederick, MD to go to Flying Dog Brewey, which is something I’ve been wanting to try for a while.. What I did not know is that $5 gets…
I was chatting with a friend of a friend who kept saying, “that’s so basic.” Feeling out of the loop, I inquired as to the meaning. “You know,” she said. “Basic girls wear leggings with Uggs and oversized sweaters.. They drink pumpkin spice lattes and carry Longchamp bags.” Had I not been wearing a dress at the time, she would have described my outfit and lifestyle perfectly. I do what…
