It’s not every day that I feel like I’m wandering through the Beauty and the Beast village. (Seriously, cue: Belle – Little Town.) But, lucky for me, I was able to feel that way for a couple of days during our trip. These were the days we stepped outside of the major cities and explored … Continue reading

The most royal of days
If you know anything about me, or have scrolled through my Instagram feed for a hot second, you’d know that I have a slight interest in the royal family, specifically in Kate Middleton. By that I mean I’ll read the occasional article or check out a post on her most recent fashions. I’m laughing as … Continue reading
What it’s (sometimes) like being a twenty-something female at work
I’ve been drafting a post focusing on what it’s like being a twenty something in the workplace for a few days now. However, thanks to a recent, let’s call it “incident” I heard about from a friend of mine, I’ve decided to add a new word into the mix. That word is female. I now present … Continue reading

Sometimes when you’re on vacation, you’re welcomed with rain rather than sunshine, no matter how many anti-rain dances you’ve performed. I’m not talking a few sprinkles here and there. I’m talking a borderline downpour for a majority of the day. Shocking when it comes to London, I know. We were able to escape the rain for … Continue reading
The prettiest store I’ve ever visited: Fortnum and Mason
When your mom is an avid shopping enthusiast, making a statement this bold carries hefty weight. It’s no secret that if shopping was a professional sport, my mom would be the reigning champ. She has dragged my sister, dad, and me to countless stores for years, even if my dad was we were kicking and screaming. … Continue reading
A vacation hangover, of sorts
A couple of things happen after you take a two week vacation. Yes, I said it. A two week vacation. It’s a new thing I tried this year (more on that effort later…) and I don’t think I’ll ever look back. I was lucky enough to visit London, Paris, and Strasbourg, and the only negative thing … Continue reading
