Introducing… Bloom: A Journal by BeautyBeyondBones Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought that the scared, sick, hopeless little girl at inpatient would tell her story one day. But here were are folks. Ten years, one irresponsibly honest…

Taking Iceland by Storm
Hállo from Iceland! I have officially fallen in love… …With the Nordic way of life. I’m currently in the back seat of super nice SUV rental car, listening to the Hamilton soundtrack on blast, driving for five hours in landscape that is what I imagine the surface of the moon looks like. This particular topography…

ICELAND BOUND
When you’re reading this, I’m going to be going through security at the airport. Because… I’M GOING TO ICELAND!! I know, I know.

Dancing in Spanish Harlem
So yesterday was my birthday 🙂 And I’ll tell you what…if there’s one thing I took away from the day, aside from how special friends and loved ones are, it’s how infinitely beautiful and diverse the culture is in NYC. Indulge me for a moment. Yesterday was one of those days that literally goes on forever.…

God vs. Aliens
I’ve been really puzzled by a recent theme here lately. No, not our culture’s questionable obsession with unicorns, or the fact that our White House is turning over faster than a round of tequila shots on Cinco de Mayo. I’m confused about society’s recent preoccupation with….aliens. And if you think that was out of left…
