I feel like lately my life has been a whirlwind of craziness. I am not complaining because if I wasn’t busy, that would worry me a lot more. However, in order to keep my sanity, I needed this weekend to be chill. That is exactly what I got; case and point: I have been laying in my bed for the last 4 hours with no real intention of moving any time soon. My bff, Derek came into town, and we just sorta decided to play it by ear. We ate a lot, we went to see the Carrie re-make, and This is why Facebook is a wonderful thing: I noticed that my former roommate, Alix Altit, decided to become a personal trainer! As part of that, she started a YouTube channel with health and fitness videos. The other day, she posted a video with a recipe for a healthy fig martini (check it out below!), and thought it would make a great pre-weekend post. All week I have been looking forward to this weekend because my best friend is coming in town, and we are going to have a fabulous night out. Every once in a while you As you continue to read my blog, one thing that you must know about me is I have major obsessions. I get hooked on random, stupid things that no one else cares about. Past obsessions: Harry Styles, white men’s t-shirts, American Apparel lamé leggings, chunky bracelets, the list could really go on and on. Right now, I am totally obsessed with layering dainty gold necklaces. There is something just kinda charming about them. The other day I went to the mall, and went on a rampage buying more so I could have a variety. I have been wearing
My husband and I celebrated 1-year of marriage. Huzzah! We’ve been together for seven years, so we’re very familiar with what makes a good gift for each other, Finding the perfect vintage t-shirt is like finding a needle in a hay stack. Whenever I go to a thrift store, I always hit up the t-shirt section first because I am on a perpetual mission to expand my collection. It is more challenging than it sounds because the perfect vintage t-shirt has to be a combination of well worn, soft, baggy and long enough. It is about 100% humidity today, so I wanted to wear something comfortable; there is nothing more comfortable than a t-shirt and jeans. Then, since it is freezing in my office, I just added a
I’m guest writing this blog for Neon Notebook to ask the eternal question: do the crazy girls get the guy? As a recently-hired Cosmo writer (ahem, humble brag), I feel like I should have at least some sense of how all of this shit works, but let me tell you the truth: I am a disaster with everything related to dating and guys. (Thankfully for you all, I mostly write about fashion…) A recent real-life event (names changed, because, like, that’s hella awkward to give out the identity of this poor girl) prompted a long-winded gchat with Bekah, which ultimately

I love animals, so I wanted to be a veterinarian when I was younger. That was until I learned that vets have to take care of sick animals—sometimes very sick. My heart At the beginning of the year my friend Belle told us she was going to spend the summer traveling all over Europe. Terrific! Who are you going with? No one. Aacckkk. Are you sure that’s a good idea? Four months on her own in strange countries is daunting for any solo traveler, let alone Belle who only just turned 21 and had never left the small town where she grew up.
