I’ve always been an incredibly organized person. Though my mother would argue that my room never took that effect, in most facets of my life, organization reigns supreme. From daily tasks to long-term goals, having things written down helps me feel calm and collected despite how crazy life can be. In high school it was [...]
Needless to say, it’s been a hectic few weeks. Between having friends come visit, being handed more responsibility at work, and planning for my upcoming vacation, I've lost sense of some of the things on my everyday to-do list. As always, I feel disappointed in myself that I haven't posted weekly. I lose motivation, desire, [...]
The last few weeks have been a transition to say the least. Lots of work, a lot of learning, some tears along the way, and a huge realization that moving on is healthy, necessary, and can be damn rewarding. I wanted to share a couple important takeaways as I reflect on the last few months [...]
We all deserve a day off. I was lucky enough to celebrate my 4th of July with some pretty amazing people on an awesome charter off the harbor of San Diego. Lots of beer, snacks, music, + good times were made, plus our boat was pretty damn rad. It’s really easy to complain about things [...]
In an attempt to try something different, learn about new wellness techniques, and start taking care of myself more, I decided to book an acupuncture appointment at a beautiful wellness studio, Saffron & Sage.

I’m constantly talking about how busy I am, how much I work, how hard it is for me to balance a social life, a professional life, and ME time. I tend to bite off more than I can chew. About a week and a half ago, I put in my notice at my server job [...]
There are many beautiful things in this world, but two are especially prominent: food and travel. As the daughter of two Italian immigrants, the former was of upmost importance growing up. My mother, a classic stay-at-home Italian mom, finds joy in cooking and feeding anyone who walks in the door. Hers is the kitchen everyone [...]
Today, I’m talking money. Those close to me say that I’m great with my money, but my habits (which have room for improvement) come from harsh lessons I learned at a young age. ♦♦♦ My dad’s business supported my family for my entire life. At its peak, we were doing great. I was given all [...]
When I told people I was going to Montana for the weekend, I got an interesting look across the board. It’s not the first place people think of when they think of a weekend trip, especially for a city girl like me. I’ve visited twice before but at 14 and 18, I wasn’t able to [...]
Sometimes you really just need to get out of town, and now couldn't be a better time. This week, I'm heading to Red Lodge, Montana for birthday festivities (my best friend's mom is turning 59!) and for time away from city life. And yes, we're talking a one road town with one sports bar and [...]
