Wooo! Can’t believe it’s already time to provide an update on my progress towards a healthier lifestyle, weight loss, and making fitness more of a priority in my life! If I could sum up the past week in one word, I think my best choice would be…SORE. As with anything […]

As you may have read in my previous blog post, I joined the #BarreLifeChallenge at the Barre District location near where I live in Bay View! Though I’ve been training for half marathons on and off for the past 3 years, I haven’t always made my health and fitness a […]

It feels so long ago, though it’s only been a few months. Does anyone else feel like December and January and February basically didn’t exist? Between a few quick trips, all of the holiday festivities, and getting back into gear in the new year, I can’t believe it’s already March! […]

Ahh, only a few days away from Valentine’s Day! For those of you that need to find a last minute gift, I’ve got a few easy ideas that you can pick up or get delivered before the big day. If you’re more into gifting experiences rather than things, make sure […]

So here we are again. The beginning (kind of) a new year. I realize, as I’m writing this a few days into February, that 2019 is already underway, but this is better late than never. Over the past few weeks, I’ve been thinking about what it is that I want […]

2018, Imma let you finish, but I have a feeling that 2019 is going to be the best year yet! I always get so excited for NYE and moving into a New Year! I love time spent reminiscing and reflecting on the past year, and getting rejuvenated and refocused for […]

If you’re like me, I celebrate Black Friday from the comfort of my home and maybe doing some browsing and shopping online. I’ve never been one to get up early, brave the cold, and fight the crowds for the best deals the day after Thanksgiving, because though I love shopping, […]

Flowers, mimosas, brunch, and some awesome women makes for a Sunday well spent. That’s how I spent my afternoon a little less than two weeks ago for the November event for Gals That Brunch. After our successful hand lettering workshop with Lettering by Natalie, I knew that the Milwaukee Gals […]

Since this is a collection of what I’m doing, eating, wearing, and visiting, it’s about time I give you a peak at where I’m brunching. More specifically, I want to provide some great recaps and resources on the best places to grab brunch with your squad in Milwaukee. If you’re […]

With almost a month of my last year in my twenties already in the past, I wanted to circle back on my list of the 29 things I did/saw/learned before I turned 29 that I shared back in October. Looking back on this list, my 28th year was a blast […]
