It’s Day of the Dead and while on the surface, it appears to be a morbid holiday, at its core it’s actually a very sweet holiday. Day of the Dead is a Mexican tradition where those who have passed are…
Travel: Disneyland {Without Kids} and Newport Beach
When my former neighbors and I went to West Palm Beach last year, we decided to make a girls weekend a yearly tradition. As we discovered with our last trip, it can be hard picking a destination and getting the…
Books: Then Again Maybe I Will {My Love For Judy Blume}
Reading is the bane of my existence. Not me, I love books, but the middle school VSCO girl I have living with me does not like reading and fights me every day about it. It’s part of her homework, but…
Travel: Riviera Maya, Mexico
Mexico has never been high on my list of places I’ve wanted to travel. I have lots of friends who go and each time I’ve been invited I’ve politely declined. I never thought I would feel super safe in Mexico,…

Written in the Stars {An Astrological Reading}
A few months ago, I had my astrological sign read. It was one of the final pieces of the drink, pray, love puzzle. I’m a Scorpio and according to Astrology.com, “the Scorpio woman is by far one of the witchiest…
Friendship & Frosé
I have a really good tribe right now. Some friendships fell apart that I wish didn’t and some friendships disappeared and I said good riddance to them. Some of my friends live in other states and we don’t see each…
Skinny Love
The ironic thing about a blog post on body image which should have been published at the beginning of summer to coincide with swimsuit season, is that I was too self-conscious to post it. But I’m skinny so my life…
Travel: Once Upon a Time in Los Angeles
I’ve had a love affair with Los Angeles since I was 9 years old. I could probably write 16 blog posts and still not scratch the surface as to why I love it so much. Or should I say, used…
