Philly Finds Vol. 16
It’s been about a month since I hit y’all with the last Philly Finds post. I am attempting in some way to keep up with the Philly Finds series, but admittedly this is a shorter post than usual.

checking in
Checking in The lyrics of Madonna’s “Hung Up” plays in the background of my mind. “Time goes by, so slowly…” There are days when time flies by. Then are days that drag like a 3-hour college lecture. “How is it only 2 o’clock,” I’ll wonder. Some days are filled with grief, stress, sadness, while others…

FemFocused: Philly singer Ang Bocca

Announcing a Positive Publicity Collaboration with Fite Fashion
Owning a custom, one-of-a-kind dress is something I’ve always dreamed about. Nay, fantasized about. How extravagant would it be to roll-up to an event, and when someone asks where your outfit is from, you can reply “Oh, it’s custom”. OK maybe I’ve been watching too much Real Housewives (there’s no such thing as too much),…

Perception vs. reality
Perception. This has been a big topic in recent therapy sessions and conversations with friends. The way we think a scenario went. How we think a situation occured. How we think our future will inevitably play out. Perception is a funny and fickle thing. Have you ever thought someone to be rude in a conversation,…

Welcome back for another round of Philly Finds*. We are getting ready to dip into that fall content, and after a walk around the city yesterday, I couldn’t be more ready for it. This round-up is particularly food and drink heavy, and I think you’re gonna like what you’ll find here. *(A side bar for…

I had a psychic reading over the phone…
Disclaimer: I received a free reading from Keen.com. All opinions are my own. I’m into the esoteric. The soul searching. The spirit guides. The tarot (I’ve been studying and doing readings for almost a year). The crystals. The palo santo wood. The intuition. The auras. The moon. The stars. I’m not into it for the…
