Last Slice of Summer

I may have gotten a bit ahead of myself in my last post about fall. There’s still some stuff I want to share with ya about the end of my summer! I love going on “adventures” and being #carefree and #spontaneous, so that’s exactly how I wanted the end of this summer to be. I’m…

That Fall Feeling

In my previous post I briefly mentioned changes in the weather, and that change is a-comin’ folks. Call me presumptuous, call me overzealous, call me the oh-so-dreaded “basic” (insert sarcasm), but let the leaves fall, let the cider flow, let the bonfires blaze – ok wow I need to stop – but fall is almost here.…

When Everything’s Changing…

The end of summer always puts me in a little bit of a funk – and that’s coming from someone who doesn’t love summer. I think I get flashbacks of the nerves and butterflies I would get for the first day of school. Or maybe it’s because the change in the weather and season is…

Beautiful Broadway Musical Songs & Lyrics

I’m a huge musical theater person. I’ll never forget watching the 10th Anniversary Concert of Les Misérables (the DREAM cast) at Royal Albert Hall on PBS when I was younger and I haven’t looked back since. I love to perform and sing any chance I get (whether on an actual stage or making my friends…

Exploring Old Montréal & More

Hellooooo everyone! Before we get started, let me begin by apologizing for my lack of writing recently. I’ve been seriously slacking, but I’m making it my plan to change all of that during the remainder of July, so please do stick around! I just came back from a quick trip from Montréal, and I’ve put…

Out-of-Town Philly Food Guide

I was recently having dinner with my foodie friend Sally at Tinto’s in Rittenhouse (great happy hour BTW). We talked about Philly’s amazing food scene and all of the restaurants we love, and the ones we still need to go to. From Italian dinner hot spots, to coffee shops and brunch spots, we could have talked about…

No Leftovers: Hungry Harvest (+ promo code!)

The rumors are true: I never leave food on my plate. I simply don’t believe in letting any food go to waste, even down to the last crumb. It would truly pain me to do so. So when the company I’m talking about today reached out to me, I knew we were going to be fast…
