#GivingTuesday 2015

I have so many other things I want to post, but I didn’t want to miss out on reminding you all about #GivingTuesday. The Tuesday after Thanksgiving has become known as the day for giving back, and it’s a great time to reflect on the organizations that have positively impacted your life and show them…

Summer Bucket List

In continuing with my summer-themed week, I thought I’d share my Summer 2015 Bucket List. I’m usually pretty hesitant in making these sorts of lists (out of fear in not finishing), but I decided to make it relatively simple. 1. add color to my hair 2. go somewhere (anywhere!) in the Northeast 3. read 10…

As I write this, I’m sitting in Milwaukee’s General Mitchell International Airport waiting for a flight that’s three hours later than the one I was originally scheduled for. I arrived to my original flight’s gate at 10:00 and checked the departures gate at 10:30 to make sure we were still on time since they hadn’t…

Weekend Reading

Stephanie Blondet art prints {and more!}. I’m obsessed with these right now and am torn between a few different prints – to be continued… Milwaukee – “overwhelmingly terrific” A Broadway dame passes on Why New Yorkers Should Attend the Theatre Your Childhood Cartoons Weren’t As Innocent As You Thought… Why the Packers are basically amazing…

Five Facts Friday

In honor of my upcoming return to Wisconsin, I thought I’d throw together some random fun facts about the good ole cheese state. I’m actually super excited – this time of the year is basically perfect weather. Not too hot, not too cold. AND I get to take Brownie on a million walks while I’m…

A Thirst for Art

In Milwaukee, spring was always seen as the end of theater companies’ seasons. In New York, it’s a time when companies are producing their more daring and risque pieces. I’m absolutely thrilled to see some of these shows in the coming weeks: The Village Bike, MCC Theater May 22 – June 28, Lucille Lortel Theatre…

Winter Blues

This is usually one of the bluest times of the year for me – and hundreds of thousands of other people in the U.S. who experience SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder). But I feel like I’ve been coping with it much better this year. Here are some things that I think have made a tremendous impact…

Weekend Inspiration

I can’t believe it’s already the last weekend of January – how does time fly so fast? And with that, it’s my last weekend of winter break before classes and my internship (!!!) begin on Monday. It’s tough to pin down what was the best part of this break (maybe the fact that it was…

Oh, to be Blue Bayou

I’ve recently become a big Vera Bradley fan ever since I discovered their Canterberry Magenta design. I’m still building my personal collection, but so far I’m the proud owner of the large duffel, zip ID case, luggage ID tag, and the Mandy bag (currently in shipment to my apartment). I’m absolutely hooked! Since the material…

One of my favorite activities in the whole world is spending time with one of my absolute best friends – my mom. We had such a fun time together yesterday, especially since it was somewhat warmer outside (don’t even get me started on how cold WI has been this week – schools and businesses were…
