Happy Mardi Gras, everyone! I SO wanted to go to NOLA last weekend, but alas, it just wasn’t in the cards unfortunately. I have a dear friend who lives there, so a visit is due really soon! Mardi Gras always makes me appreciative of my college experience. Even though I often complain about my alma mater, one thing I absolutely love about is that I met people from all over…
Sorry for my radio silence. To put it mildly, Word Press was not cooperating with me, and I came very close to throwing my computer against a wall. I have an eclectic book taste, to say the least. Honestly, if someone I like recommends a book, it’s very likely I’ll read it. What I’m not as good at is just finding books on my own. I seek out recommendations and…
Before I begin, I want to beg you to read this the entire way through. So, I recently listened to The Dream podcast and am completely on a kick of researching Multi-Level Marketing. It seems as though everyone has an opinion on “MLMs” and is not afraid to say it. Scrolling through my Facebook feed today, I was inundated with several people running promotions on various products from weight loss…
I do not intend for this to be as ostentatious as that title sounds, but gala season is pretty huge in D.C. Are most of the attendees in the upper class (or social climbers like myself)? Yes. Does that mean that they’re super exclusive? Absolutely not. If you’re new to D.C. or even if you’re coming to visit, going to a charity gala is definitely a worthwhile way to spend…
I was originally going to just highlight my new favorite cookbook for this post, but I thought it would be more fun to talk about how I am able to maintain a pretty healthy diet on a not-at-all chill schedule. Here I’ll give you my list of steps to take this weekend to start fresh on Monday with delicious, healthy meals for the week. Simplify at least one meal per…
It’s no secret that I adore the Virginia wineries. To me, nothing is more perfect that a workout class in the morning (OTF is my personal favorite), followed by vegging out in the Old Dominion, sipping wine while looking at gorgeous scenery. If you’ve been following me for a while, you know that I’ve been to dozens of Virginia wineries and often report back on my favorites. So, I (wrongfully)…
(In my humble opinion). I found that it’s kind of impossible to find Christmas movies on Netflix (whyyy is it not a genre?!), so lists like this are invaluable. Since I take way too much on during Christmas time, I often turn on a flick as background noise, so I have been many Christmas movies on Netflix and these are my favorites. Enjoy! 1)White Christmas. I mean, let’s be real…
What? That’s not the MOST intriguing title you’ve ever seen? Bear with me, friends. I am not from D.C., so the pups and I are packing up the VW Sleigh and heading to Ohio for Christmas at the end of this week and I have SO MUCH to do. Granted, it’s completely self-inflicted, but I like to make sure I live Christmas time up so I’m ready to transition in…
Is anyone else hating the new WordPress format? For as much as I’d love to blame the new format on my lack of posting, that would be a lie. James IV and I spontaneously went to Miami last weekend, and I write my posts on the weekends, and, well, that’s why I didn’t post this week. Sawry. Today I wanted to introduce you to one of my favorite Etsy…
Happy Friday, friends! One of my favorite traditions of this time of year is an Advent wreath. I’m not sure if it’s a uniquely Catholic tradition, but the colors represent the darkness before the light (Christ) and the joy that comes with the light. Plus, let’s be real here, I do also love pink and purple. I created this advent wreath last year with some tacky glue, tape for straight…
