Back in middle and high school, Friday meant one thing (aside from TGIF of course): SLEEPOVER TIME. We can still remember packing our overnight duffel, rolling up the sleeping bag, choosing our favorite stuffed animal, and getting a ride from our parents to our BFF’s house. Continue reading
On Thursday June 23, a referendum was held on whether the UK should remain part of the European Union. Of the 33.5 million people who turned out to vote, 51.9% voted to leave. To say this came as a shock is a huge understatement – which sounds crazy, I know. It was a referendum, it could only go one of two ways – surely we were prepared for a “Leave” vote on some level?

We could write a list a mile long detailing all the reasons we love summer. Atop it, long days, warm nights, and easy entertainment. While the cooler seasons require a bit more creativity to map out an evening of fun, a barefoot stroll through the sand is all we need to satisfy our soul come summertime. Continue reading
Most current TV shows and movies show unidimensional characters, especially female ones. The characters they introduce to us are one thing and only that. They put them in a box so that they can be easily labeled as the athlete, the smart kid, the beautiful woman/man, the mom, the womanizer, and so on. As if that one aspect of the character defines the entirety of who that person is. Continue reading
Meeting your future sister-in-law can be an intimidating experience. Lucky for us, the introduction was made easier by an instant connection over reality TV. More specifically, Season 7 of The Bachelorette. Upon meeting, we spent hours watching Ashley Hebert in her quest for love and took turns talking (perhaps sometimes yelling) at the TV, as our relationship advice needed to be heard. Continue reading
We’ve all been there. It’s 2 PM on a Wednesday, and we’re up to our eyeballs in emails. Between work, family engagements, personal upkeep and that little thing we like to call a social life, our inbox has reached maximum capacity. And usually it’s not good news. Another bill due. Another doctor’s appointment to confirm. Another work assignment. Blah. Blah. Blah. Continue reading
Plans. Some of us love them; others hate them. But we all make them. It’s the inevitable nature of human beings, we want things to happen to us, and we create a vision in our minds of how we will get them and what it will be like once we do. Continue reading
Behind every hustle bunny – at least in the infancy of said hustle – is a 9-to-5 gig. Before one can become their own boss, she more than likely has a boss of her own. It’s a fact of life, especially if you discover your passion after incurring a few financial obligations (like a couple of kids, a fixed mortgage, and a copious amount of student loans – basically, ME!) But I’ll let you in on a little secret: your day job and your side hustle combined create a stronger you overall. Continue reading
I’d hardly consider myself a pro in most areas. But, all modesty aside, I’ve become rather skilled at one thing in particular: deciding when I’ll be happy.
Of course, you don’t become an expert at something overnight. This has taken me years of practice and consistent repetition of the phrase.
I’ll be happy when… Continue reading
Cheers to the Summer, everyone! Here’s to the long drives, taking the scenic route, playing on the beach, fires at night, and bonding over cookouts.
