  • River Street Sweets Chocolate + Candy

    River Street Sweets Chocolate + Candy

    My sweet-tooth has a mind of its own. It has zero self-control and I am not even mad about it. I just love all things sugar. Especially when it’s hand-crafted, chocolate filled, and comes with a rich history.  River Street Sweets has multiple locations, but there is one dangerously close…

    How to Eat for Cheap in Disney World 

    Tickets into the parks, the hotel, and travel expenses take up 85% of my budget when I visit Disney World in Orlando. By the time I get there, I am already contemplating how many granola bars I can fit in my bag to save on the cost of food throughout…

    I Haven’t Been Sick For Over a Year Thanks To This Product

    The fear of aging is strong with this one. This one being me. And I keep hearing hype surrounding collagen powder. In fact, I’ve been hearing hype about it for years, but was always skeptical. What’s more, the fear of being sick and losing my health is worse than the fear…

  • Changing Up the Word “Wedding”

    Changing Up the Word “Wedding”

    My fiancée Chase and I LOVE to travel. We’ve puddle-jumped in Croatia, drove the entire span of Norway, explored Mexico, toured Puerto Rico (3x), and partnered together on more cross-country road-trips than we can count. I have visited over 35 countries, and Chase has visited over 20. So it’s no…

  • Our Story

    Our Story

    Shoutout to the dating apps. Ladies and gentlemen. They work. I was recently single. And my better half, Chase was…not looking for anything. Yet somehow we found ourselves in Boston, single, and on “Hinge.” A dating app where you pre-judge people like heathens. I went on 7 dates in 5…

  • Glamping in Alaskan Huts

    Glamping in Alaskan Huts

    Ok so maybe staying in huts while in Alaska isn’t a NEW thing. With the cold temperatures, strange weather patterns, not to mention wildlife critters like Grizzlies, sleeping in a tent is just a wee-bit less comforting to some travelers. Staying in a sturdy, wood, four-walled hut seems a tad…

  • Hydration vs Moisturization

    Hydration vs Moisturization

    Girl, you are a tall glass of water, but maybe your skin doesn’t feel like it’s had one in a long time…especially during winter. Like when you get a zit, said zit heals, said zit scars, said zit causes a round ring of dryness where the concealer has caked away…

  • Why Take a Photo Before Beginning New Skincare

    Why Take a Photo Before Beginning New Skincare

    I get it, the last thing we want to do with an uncomfortable outward appearance is immortalize it. We spend hours primping our hair, wearing clothes that make our bodies look just right, cake on concealer to hide our uneven skin tones. The concept of taking a photo of the…
