Getting up to write is difficult these days. Recently, I don’t have a lot of motivation to get myself to a computer and focus on writing words – and, you know, not getting lost on Buzzfeed, Facebook, and other stupid noise.
I have found my ticket out of the funk though. Another fellow Marine wife here also needs to get her writing butt in gear, so we’ve decided to conquer our procrastination together and meet once a week to write and make sure we’re getting work done.

1. When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?
I always knew I wanted to own my own business. I opened up a grocery store in our workout room, and used the treadmill as the check out aisle when I was about 6. Then, in middle school, I opened up a salon

Somehow, I got to baking a lot the past two weeks which meant massive amounts of dough/batter in a short amount of time.
Very briefly, I’m going to share with you just a couple of quick fixes that really helped speed the process along:
Grated Butter
The worst part about baking is realizing I have to cream together some damn butter and sugar, and forgetting to let the butter out to sit to get to room temperature. Not a problem anymore. I just grate the butter now, which softens it and makes it much easier to cream anyway.

February 11, 2014 by Rebekah in ETC., Lifestyle I love Paris. On our first day there, we just sorta wandered aimlessly, and it was lovely. We probably walked a total of 5 or 6 miles, but it is the only way to see the city. While Paris is beautiful during the day, it is absolutely breathtaking at night…there is a reason it is called The City of Lights.
While I die for the food, coffee, history and art in Paris, the thing I love most is the effortless chicness of the Parisians people. Less is more.
If you plan on going to Paris, I have a few recommendations

February 6, 2014 by Rebekah in ETC., Lifestyle I have a series of really random things that I happen to love. Street art is one of those obsessions. I am not taking about tagging/graffiti, but art that actually has some talent/thought behind it (I am sure anyone that actually knows art is rolling their eyes right about now because I have no idea what I am really talking about). I am not sure why I love it so much, but it makes me happy.
My all time favorite place for street art is the Wynwood area of Miami. It is basically the coolest neighborhood ever because each building

February 3, 2014 by Rebekah in ETC., Lifestyle Greetings from London!
My bff, Katie, moved to London, so I obviously had to come visit her. So far we have only been here a day, but we have accomplished so much.
A quick rundown of the last 24 hours: Landed at Heathrow, went to Camden Market, had a real British tea at Fortnum & Mason (I consumed wayyy too many scones with clotted cream), quick pit stop at Liberty London, had a pint at The Holly Bush in Hampstead Heath…and then, that brings us to dinner at Byron –
