30 Things I've Learned in 30 Years
I feel like you always grow up thinking about these massive life milestones. Your Sweet Sixteen, graduating high school, leaving home for the first time, turning 21 (and being able to drink without a shitty fake ID), reaching 30 and officially exiting your 20's…
But you don't think they will come so incredibly quickly.
You think you have all the time in the world.
If there's anything I have learned by my 30th trip around the sun is that time is a thief and there will never be enough of it. One minute you are a kid without a single care in the world and the next you are an adult who is expected to have their life together - and it happens QUICK. (Click to read more)
My 2024 Word of the Year (& How to Choose Yours!)
It's officially a brand new year.
How?
If you're anything like me, January 1st is more than just a day to nurse a hangover or jot down a few goals (and then stash them away until December).
I seriously... take it seriously.
The beginning of the year symbolizes so much.
You get to create goals, hopes and dreams.
You get to craft vision boards.
You get to start new fitness journeys.
You get to decide EXACTLY how you want your upcoming year to be. (click to read more)
Nashville, TN: Where to Eat & Drink

3 Days in Santorini: Recommendations
After a long girls trip to Croatia, I was in need of some R&R so I decided to check out one of the famous Greek destinations. I was torn between between Mykonos and Santorini but after doing some research, here is what I learned...
Mykonos = party.
Santorini = relaxation.
And I needed to RELAX. Not take tequila shots.
If you are looking for a more quiet, romantic destination with great food and epic sunsets... I would 100% recommend Santorini. They had a bit of nightlife from what I saw, but it was definitely more on the quiet side, which I loved. Now if you are wanting more of a party vibe + young crowd... I would say Mykonos is more your speed. Different strokes for different folks! (Click to read more).
3 Days in Paris: Recommendations
Last month, I took an impromptu trip to the city of love (and croissants) and spent 4 magical days exploring the city and making the most of my time.
What I learned? Paris is MASSIVE.
Seriously, there are a million different neighborhoods and areas to get lost in and you really need a WEEK minimum to see all the highlights.
But if you are like I was and working with only a couple days.. I am going to breakdown what I did, where I stayed and most importantly - what I ate.
Hopefully this will help you better plan your trip and you'll be able to see some of my highly recommended favorite spots. (Click to read more)

29 Things I Have Learned by 29
Y'all...
I am officially entering my last year in my 20's.
Woah.
Also, hi! How are ya? Long time, no talk on this ole blog.
Like I always do, I wanted to drop some wisdom on my birthday because that's just what I like to do (and not to toot my own horn, but I think I am pretty good at it).
Birthdays are my absolute favorite, not only because it's an excuse to dress up, throw parties and be as sparkly as I want without anyone being able to tell me anything... but because it's also a chance to do some serious self reflection. (Click to read more).

Welp.
It's officially 2023.
How. On. Earth.
I think it's safe to say that many people look forward to the new year, especially those who had a particularly tough previous one. The first day of January represents so much more than a new number that you see on a calendar or a fresh new planner that you crack open.. It represents change, new beginnings, a fresh mindset and a chance to start over. For many, January 1st feels like a big sigh of relief.
But for me...
January 1st feels like saying goodbye.
Sounds strange, I know. Stick with me here... there's a point to this blog post I swear.
As many of you know, I decided that 2022 was going to be my “yes” year. (Click to read more).
The Good, The Bad, The Birth Control Pill

I'm going to fill you in on my experience with the birth control pill and what it was like for me once I decided to stop taking it.
