I LOVE Christmas. I don't just love it. I am obsessed with the holiday. Everything from the sparkling decorations, too hot chocolate by the fire, there isn't a time of year that beats it in terms of coziness. When I moved to Washington, I couldn't contain the excitement I felt when I realized I [...]
Life as we know it is entirely different, and I think we all know why *ahem* the virus which must not be named. If this last year has taught me anything, it's that I spend way more money during a pandemic than I do in my everyday life. I am not proud to say, but [...]
Bright sparkly lights, world-renowned DJ's, pool parties, and hordes of obnoxious drunk 20-somethings are what come to my mind when I think of Nevada, but after a recent trip, I took there, my perception of the state has completely changed.

I think we can all agree on one thing...2020 has been a complete and total shit show, and I don’t know about you, but I am ready to bring in the new year like my life depends on it. I mean, this year can’t get any worse, right? At least we all have the [...]
Over 10 years ago, I got a diagnosis that would change my life. I was told that I had Episodic Ataxia Type 2: A rare degenerative Neurological condition. I was misdiagnosed with epilepsy for most of my life, so with this new diagnosis, I was overcome with so many emotions. It was a mix of excitement, [...]
Travel Planning can be incredibly stressful. I mean, there is so much to think about, like: where you want to travel, how you will budget, where to book flights and hotels, what to pack, and what to do in each destination. There is a lot to do when it comes to trip planning. The [...]
