Initially, I wanted my visit to Savannah to count as my new thing for the month. It’s a city I’ve never visited but had always been curious about and it was more exciting than some of my other ideas. However, my travel buddy claimed that type of a post would be a “cop out.” Charming, isn’t … Continue reading

February’s New Thing: Himalayan Salt Cave
Yes, you read that right. I decided to try the healing powers of a Himalayan salt cave as my “new thing” for February. A few months ago, my mom and I saw a Groupon offer for this and were intrigued. The Himalayan Salt Cave at Timeless Spa and Salt Cave boasted therapeutic benefits for sinuses, … Continue reading
January’s New Thing: Ballroom Dancing
Yes, you read that right. I took on ballroom dancing for my January “new thing challenge,” and I lived to tell the tale. Possibly even more shocking: my boyfriend did, too. Two or three years ago, I was gifted with the promise that we would take a ballroom dance lesson. No, really. My birthday gift … Continue reading
New year, new (and recycled) resolutions!
Somehow, somewhere, the calendar changed from 2015 to 2016. If you blinked like I did, you’re likely in shock at how quickly 2015 flew by. Last year was a pretty great one, aside from a couple of things. I was able to visit London, Paris, Strasbourg, and Palm Springs; I spent plenty of time with … 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
March Resolution Challenge: Complete
I’m not going to call myself a resolution failure for the month of March, but I’m willing to admit that I took the easy way out. Three months in and I already had to admit that to you. Allow me to explain. For the past few months, I’ve been toying with the idea of signing … Continue reading
February Resolution Challenge: Complete
You probably thought I failed. It would be just like me (and the rest of the world) to have given up on my new year’s resolution now that it’s February. You know, two months in. I’m here to say that I’m still on track and completed not one but two new things this month! One … Continue reading
January Resolution Challenge: Complete
Humble brag: I’ve already completed my “new thing” for the month of January and we’re only 7 days in. Yes, you read that right. I, Master Procrastinator, have completed my challenge for the month of January. What did I do, you ask? I skied! And, probably more impressive, I didn’t (fully) fall; and I survived! Believe … Continue reading
A New Year’s Resolution, a couple months early
This past year, I’ve made it an effort to better myself. Whether it be tightening up a budget to be a better saver (and designating nearly every month as a “super saver month”) to trying to read more non-fiction books, I’ve spent a large majority of the second half of 2014 trying to improve upon … Continue reading
