How to Save Money While Traveling

This post has been updated and republished since it’s original debut in August 2017. I’ve been traveling a lot lately. Since May I’ve gone to New York twice, Seattle once, I leave for Omaha on Friday and the week after I get back from Omaha I’m heading to Buenos Aires so I’m all about finding new ways I can save money while traveling. Full disclosure: New York and Omaha are business trips, so my major expenses (flight + boarding) are covered, but other expenses add up if you’re not careful! I love to travel, but my wallet isn’t nearly as fond… View Post

NYC Must Visits: Little Choc Apothecary

I lived in New York for a lot of 2016, and visited a dozen times for work since hten. Whenever someone asks me what I miss most about living in the city, the answer is easy. The food. Living in New York means you have access to whatever you want to eat. Even more, just about anything can be delivered to you in 25 minutes or less. Whenever I visit I feel like I discover a new hidden gem and I want to start sharing my must see’s in New York. With that said, it only felt natural to start off… View Post

Every Product I Use in My Anti-Acne Skincare Routine

My skin is the best it’s been in months. I don’t have a single active breakout on my face (though I’ve got about a dozen marks from healing spots). This is coming after a 3 month period of lots of travel, little sleep, and more acne than I’ve had in my life. I’ve played around a lot with anti-acne products the past few months, and am thrilled by the results. My anti-acne skincare routine was a work in progress but I’ve finally narrowed down some of the best acne-clearing, radiance boosting products. My personal skincare routine requires a bit of a… View Post

The Habit You Should Break to Be a Better Blogger

I’ve been a blogger for over three years and I’ve seen the industry shift and transform over and over again. Blogging is the best thing I’ve ever stumbled into, and I’ve had the incredible opportunity to help so many other bloggers during their journeys, too. In the last three years I’ve seen bloggers stumble into the same traps over and over again, and there is one that stands out more than anything else: Worrying too much with what everyone else is doing. With the exception of writing this post, I have one main philosophy when it comes to blogging: stay in… View Post

Building a Wardrobe: Starting With the Basics

I’ve been talking a lot about sustainability lately, and I’ve noticed in my life that I create the most waste through fashion. I’m guilty of shopping out of boredom, and as a blogger I feel like I always need to have shiny new outfits to show off. Trying to balance my interest in fashion with my need to feel like I’m saving the world has been weighing heavy on me, and I recently wrote guidelines for myself on how to shop more sustainably. (I’ll share those further down in the post!) I also did a full wardrobe audit when I moved… View Post
