25th Birthday in Michigan
I’m not a huge birthday person anymore. Growing up my parents always planned a special day for more whether it was a surprise party with friends or a nice dinner followed by a dozen presents. After entering college, I stopped really caring about celebrating my birthday. I remember I didn’t even want to do anything [...]

Having lived in NYC for almost two years, London didn't seem all that overwhelming or intimidating. While we were there, my boyfriend and I were actually more interested in non-traditional touristy [...]
Scenes to be Seen
I truly believe that a vacation, even if it’s a mini “staycation” and you don’t travel very far, is important for one’s health (and for me, my sanity).
