Leveling Up

I posted a video in the summer of 2020 around my birthday after i’d had some champagne (shocking) talking about some unsolicited advice I’d shared with a girl at a beauty appointment. It was such a simple exchange but she told me how she didn’t want to be single while also telling me she was

Why Travel is important when dating

So you’ve been seeing someone and it’s going well. Or as my best friend would say, “you’ve named the puppy.” You are at the point where you refer to them using their actual name when talking to friends and family instead of a nickname. Even in the current state of things, travel is such a

My Favorite Make Up Must Have’s

I’ve changed my routine a bit so it’s time for an update! First, I use a facial massager with a balm and it depuffs my face and naturally contours it and is great for your lymphatic system. (You need to use it with a balm or an oil so it glides and I actually use

Intermittent Fasting & How to Lower Cortisol

This morning I’m feeling very reflective. I’ve missed how therapeutic writing can be for me and I have seasons of my life where I want to share more and seasons where I’m deep in personal development and working on myself and I’ve noticed when I’m in that space, I naturally share less.

Hints of Burgundy

You guys know I don’t like to spend a ton on clothes… my travel budget is way too important to me. I was walking through the mall the other day and passed the Stuart Weitzman shoe store and just kept walking. If you’re not familiar, their over-the-knee boots are all over social media. (You know
