    My 30 Under 30 Unintentional Bucket List

    Welp, we’re here. Today is my 30th birthday. I’ve been thinking hard about what I wanted today’s post to be like and then this idea hit me. Often when people have bucket lists, they contain various thrill seeking, majorly risky, big ideas. I’ve never had a bucket list like that. I’m not into that kind…

    My favorite books and the awesome women who wrote them!

    It’s Blog Sunday! Guys, I’m so excited (and honored really) to share a birthday week with International Women’s Day, which is this Friday, March 8th. In honor of all the badass girls out there kicking butt and taking names, I wanted to do a fun little post about the awesome female writers behind some of…

    What do ya know? It’s Thursday and I’m posting like I said I would! We’re too far gone to pretend that I can sneak a January favorites in here, but I also don’t want to wait a few weeks to talk February, so here I am with some current favorites! First things first, Beauty! I got…

    Life chat, what I hate about (Instagram) blogger culture, and upcoming happy changes

    Yo. It’s February. I haven’t been consistent in posting, and I’m totally not surprised. If you’ve heard it once from me, then you’ve heard it a million times. I. Hate. Winter. The Christmas lights come down, and winter is just a desolate span of leafless trees and weeks on end with no sunlight. That’s wildly…

    DIY Valentine’s Day Gifts

    Hey hey hey! Long time, no blog. I hate January. Polar vortex. Yada, yada, yada. How have you guys been holding up this winter? I’ve been really busy at work, battling the winter blues per the usual, and overall just trying to survive the cold temps that hit the midwest the past couple of weeks.…

    Did you know that @shutupcrystal and I recap The Bachelor on Youtube?

    Yeah! We do! I haven’t talked about this a ton, but in our longest running collaboration to date, Crystal and I recap every single episode of The Bachelor (and The Bachelorette and Bachelor in Paradise…) on her Youtube channel. It’s all super lighthearted, and we work with what we’ve got, which is sometimes hilarious, but sometimes sleepy and always (sadly)…

    I watched You on Netflix and I have thoughts

    I’m going to start this post off with a bunch of disclaimers:  There will absolutely be spoilers for the show in what is to follow. Turns out there are spoilers for Gossip Girl as well. I have not read the book that the show is based on. It’s You by by Caroline Kepnes if you’re…

    2018 Favorites

    Hey hey, after Blogmas, it feels like it’s been a century since I’ve posted. Apologies! The past couple of weeks at work have been kind of wacky, but that’s not going to stop me from sharing my absolute favorites from 2018 (some of which secured their prize winning spot as late as December, so I’m…

    Ready, Set, Resolutions

    Hello, 2019. Guys, I’m feeling like a million bucks today, sort of. I woke up feeling super nauseous (not uncommon for my stomach, not pregnant). Despite feeling barfy, I got up, worked out, and cleaned the house like a lunatic with Kyle. I can officially say after four years and two weeks of owning this…

  • 2018: A Year In Review

    2018 came in like a wrecking ball. Actually, that’s not true. Let me explain.  Last year at this time, I’d gone home to visit friends for our annual Christmas gathering and see my dad for his birthday. Due to snow and general laziness, my friends and I decided to have a night in and order…

Got any book recommendations?
