How Did I Recover?
I’ve been sitting, staring at this blank page for about 2 hours now. Granted, I’ve taken a few breaks to peruse Buzzfeed, watch a Korean makeup video, and get ready for bed, but let’s face it. I’ve got writer’s block. Which royally stinks. So I’m going to go back to my roots here tonight. Return to…

Truth Serum
I learned something about myself this weekend. Allow me to set the stage. Saturday night. Out with friends. Well, correction…I was out with the guys. Because all my female friends decided that Netflix was more appealing than a gorgeous, open air rooftop bar in NYC. #NoJudgement…To each his own. But there maaaay have been some potential love interests…

The Great Chase
I think it’s pretty evident by now, but let’s just say, I’m a sucker for a good inspirational quote. Case in point: Just check the early days of my IG profile. I made those quote art images like they were going out of style. But anywho. The kids I nanny for got their school planners…

Get to Know Me – Video!
Alright y’all. Thought I’d lighten things up a bit tonight. The past couple posts have been slightly on the more serious side, so I wanted to take a breather and introduce you to…well, me!

Putting my Foot Down
Ok. It’s time I step into the confessional. My personal life has been…a struggle recently. I’ve been feeling out of control. And I’m going to be honest…it’s because I have just been mentally, emotionally, spiritually and physically exhausted. I’ve been getting home after back to back to back 12-hour days just in such a piss-poor…

Swiping for Love
Warning. This is a post about my love life. Or rather…lack there of. You guys, I have a confession…I recently joined the dating app, Bumble. It was a moment of weakness. I was out with friends and my inhibitions were…how should I say…compromised. (Dang tequila…) But my friends made a profile for me and…whatever. It’s honestly been…

Lessons from a 93 Year Old
I had one of those experiences last night that’s going to stick with me for a long time. Sunday night. 7:30pm. And I was going to a church I had never been to. I moseyed in the back and found a seat in the second-to-last row, just off the aisle. Mass started. We were about…

Ohh Back to School
You know what I miss? Back to school. Back to school everything. The excitement. The shopping. Decorating my locker. Getting new pens and school supplies. Finding out my schedule and comparing it to my friends’ and crushes’. *Sigh* Those were the days. I was always one of those people that geeked out over school supplies. I loved color coordinating…
