Vacation: a wistful word that we endlessly dream about. The romance of walking through cobblestone streets, the breeziness of turquoise-lined beaches, and all the amazing Insta-worthy snaps in between. In addition to trying to fit vacations into our busy schedules, we plan them to perfection, which of course, starts with packing the perfect suitcase. But how do…
Read MoreI noticed my connection to the moon for the first time two years ago, on the night of the summer solstice. The sun had disappeared by the time my flight landed in Panama City Beach, and while my boyfriend and his brother-in-law drove me from the airport back to their family’s hotel, I stared at…
Read MoreFor anyone reading who doesn’t know, I am in fact, a Los Angeles gal. But as much as I love living in New York, Los Angeles has some of the best places to zen out, eat healthily, and give your body that movement it craves, which is honestly, the lifestyle of preference over on the…
Read MoreIn an age where perfection is sought to be the end-all-be-all, it’s incredibly refreshing to cross paths with someone who breaks through the cloud of noise with their sword of vulnerability. Instead of masking behind an aesthetically-pleasing feed or pretending to live a “struggle-free” life, this person uses their voice to share their insecurities and…
Read MoreWater, tea, and everything in between. We are very thirsty creatures by nature (wink), and when constantly on-the-go, it is very easy to get into the habit of going through plastic water bottles faster than hair ties (honestly, how do they keep magically disappearing?!). But did you know that there are 1,500 water bottles consumed…
Read MoreIt’s no secret that we are all addicted to our phones. Social media aside, we depend on these little black boxes not only for communication, but for directions, the news, our calendars, finances…the list could go on.

As long as it feeds your soul, it can certainly qualify as self-care. But sometimes a simple workout or bowl of the latest superfoods isn’t quite enough. There are actions that fix problems (i.e. I’m tired,…
Read MoreWhen it comes to “it” girls, the list tends to vary based on who you ask and the era. The two ladies who have transcended the always-changing list? Drew Barrymore and Cameron Diaz.

Read MoreWhile there are some people who can eat whatever they please without having a thing happen to their face, there are also people, like me, who break out at even the slightest of anything sugary touching their lips. Okay, so I don’t breakout if I look at a cookie, but it does only take ONE…
Read MoreWe live in this hyper-connected and instant gratification-driven world where it can be pretty easy to cave into the pressure to be everything to just about everyone. If we’re not doing, being, seeing, being seen, creating, thriving, or living our best life at every single moment, we start to wonder when we became so dull….
Read MoreFor as long as I can remember, I’ve had a certain type of sensitivity that felt different than the folks around me.
