Happy Earth Day Friday, everyone! Perfect timing for the #FloralFriday theme I have going on over on my Insta. We should all really be nicer to this awesome world we live in on a daily basis, but it's always good to have a reminder to take it one step further.

This weekend I get to...

We have an entire 7 days ahead of us of goooorgeous sunny weather in the 60's and 70's, and it's back to feeling like Spring. I am so very ready to whip out my sundresses and lighter clothing, anyone else with me? It's been a...

Hello lovelies! Happy last Friday of March? Wait, what? Time is flying by indeed. It's been a bit of a rough week over here, but for me spring represents a time of positive change and renewal.
So, I'm doing my best to keep my chin up and embrace the unknown and the inevitable evolution of things in life. 

ICYMI- in celebration of Spring and to add a dash of color/beauty to your day,
I'm starting #floralfriday on my Instagram. The hashtag is already pretty popular, but join in and...

I have always called myself an eternal student. Having gotten my never-quenchable thirst of acquiring new skills and knowledge from my Dad, I'm the type of person that tends to prefer receiving things like classes and experiences for gifts rather than material items. I can also be...

Hello, Spring! We are three days into this season of renewal, so what better time for some fresh and inspiring new perspectives? Apologies to you all for my being a bit AWOL, a lot of life is happening outside these blogger walls and I hope to soon be able to disclose some good news. But first! 

Today, I'm stealing some words of wisdom from beautiful women, in hopes that...

My wanderlust is kicking up fiercely right now, so I thought it'd be a good time to finally (I'm only three months late, I know) share the highlights of my trip to Portland. I also learned, when in Portland, you donut stop drinking coffee. Yes, donut. Because they, along with coffee, are everywhere and for good reason...

Happy Friday my dears! You are loved, indeed. 

Anyone else in disbelief it's somehow March already?? Looking ahead to the next few months, it's full steam ahead-- lots of next steps with work, travel plans, and maid of honor duties galore.

I have a feeling a lot of newness will...

Our lives are about change. More accurately, they are change. We are ever-changing, ever-evolving human beings. If you resist and fight the change, you're standing still while the rest of the world continues to surge ahead. But while you surge ahead with the world, it's equally as important to take stock of the process and find contentment as well...

The most important part of gratitude is the PRACTICE of it. I've found that it's an active practice, and most crucially so when you least feel like giving thanks. The more you allow yourself to start being grateful for what may initially seem like insignificant things, the more happiness you allow yourself to feel. Those are the moments you...

Normally every other week, I do my Favorite Friday Finds series, but I wanted to do something slightly more personal this week!

I've been following Julie of Peanut Butter Fingers for a few years now, as I loved her personality that always shone through her posts about everything from...

When venturing out to the Pacific Northwest (PNW) for the first time, I didn't really know what to expect. The only thing I knew to expect was a lot of rain. Spoiler...

It's already 1 week into the New Year, and things are off to a running start! You guys will have noticed that I haven't yet posted this week, and there are a few reasons for this. Firstly...

Happy New Year's Eve, everyone! Oh hey, 2016- where did you come from?! First things first, I wanted to say...

My first town I covered in this series of Hudson Valley weekend getaways from NYC was the adorable town of Hudson, which is fantastic for antique shopping, artisanal food, and wandering little streets. This week, I want to tell you guys about a hidden gem for a wonderfully quiet and peaceful weekend getaway: The Stewart House in Athens, NY...

Tis the season! It's been almost alarmingly warm here in NYC, with temperatures in the high 50's and even up in the 60's, but my holiday spirit is turned up full blast. Holiday spirit is currently very much needed everywhere in the world right now. The amount of...

Being in New York City can be a bit of a bubble- you sadly forget that an outside world exists sometimes. But while the city has endless things to offer, sometimes you need to get away from the hustle of it all and enjoy some nature- particularly during seasons as gorgeous as fall and winter...

There are two sides of forgiveness; sometimes we only remember one, sometimes we don't remember either of them. What are they? Forgiveness for yourself AND forgiveness for others...

For some reason, feeling and knowing deep down that you are enough is one of the hardest things to learn. Even the most self-assured confident person will feel this self-doubt from time to time. Especially in a day and time when the social media filter can make your life feel like it doesn't
