Saturdays are for the girls

Barstool Sports may say that Saturdays are for the boys, but this past Saturday was most definitely for the girls. My friend Amanda and I started our morning at the Pink Social Girl Tribe Pop Up sale at Sugar Creek Brewing. This pop up sale had 50+ women-owned businesses, including local boutiques and designers. The… Continue reading Saturdays are for the girls

5 things I learned during my engagement

My two-year engagement was a whirlwind of emotions. I went from 0 to 60 with 10 different wedding-dedicated Pinterest boards (one for each category, naturally), a bloated registry wish-list, and the need to incorporate every offbeat wedding detail into our big day. I rode that Bridezilla wave safely to shore, and became grounded, centered, and focused… Continue reading 5 things I learned during my engagement

The Life-Changing Magic of Not Giving a F*ck

When I first heard about The life-changing magic of not giving a f*ck by Sarah Knight, I thought it was simply a spoof of The life-changing magic of tidying up by Marie Kondo, which, for the record, I read and loved and have positively altered my relationship with “stuff” because of it. However, I was pleasantly surprised… Continue reading The Life-Changing Magic of Not Giving a F*ck

3 things I miss about Troy

Outside my old agency! 🙊

I recently wrote a post about how our decision to move to Charlotte changed our lives in so many positive ways. But despite the truth in all of it, I couldn’t help but get a little nostalgic for our first apartment and the first little city MPR and I explored together.

Apple picking at Windy Hill Orchard

Our little family of 3 👨🏻🐶👩🏻💕

Last Fall I missed out on apple picking because the season is so short in the south. I wasn’t about to let that happen again, so over Labor Day Weekend MPR, Rufio and I headed down to Windy Hill Orchard & Cider Mill in York, SC.

Business flying hacks

I have flown more this past year than I have in my entire life. It’s true. My new job turned me into a jet-setting PR girl, and I’d like to think I’m a bit of a flying pro at this point. Here are the best tips I’ve picked up to help you get through an… Continue reading Business flying hacks

True life: I sold my wedding dress

First dance 💋

So much of a wedding is about the dress. It’s why we all stand as the bride walks down the aisle. It dictates personal style, wedding style, and for many women, it’s probably the most expensive piece of clothing she’ll ever wear. But what do you do with the dress after the wedding?

Breakfast at Amélie’s

"Hey, are you gonna eat all of that?" 🐶

Sunday continued Charlotte’s trend of cooler air and lack of humidity, so MPR & I decided to take Rufio for a walk uptown. First we walked up to the main library branch to return two books, and on our way back we stopped at Amélie’s French Bakery & Café for a leisurely breakfast.

How changing my location changed my life

I often think of that old saying, “if you can’t change your location, change your hair color.” I can’t remember where I first heard it – probably in a fashion magazine growing up – but in 2015 I knew that my yearning for change could not be satisfied with new tresses. I was stalled in… Continue reading How changing my location changed my life

Back to school: Continuing education post-college

If you’re like me, you get a little nostalgic this time of year seeing all of the “Back to School” ads and photos of college students moving into their dorms for the fall semester. College was a blast – not only because I made some of my best friends and best memories there, but because… Continue reading Back to school: Continuing education post-college
