Bellingham on Ice: The Musical

Yesterday, my boyfriend and I went to Lake Padden, which entirely froze over this past week. There were children throwing large rocks at the ice (where were their parents?!), adults playing hockey, and dogs skidding right past their targeted stick. It was chaotic and beautiful. Check it out if you have the chance! Cheers, babes.

Lunch Hack | 3 minutes + Cheap

I am the queen of one-pan meals because I hate cooking and I hate cleaning. Recently, my laziness has blended with “hangry”-ness and I’ve resorted to the epitome of crappy college food…Top Ramen. This is a great way to use up the last of your veggies before the next grocery trip. Directions: Boil water in a […]

Podcasts and Productivity

I’m currently streaming podcasts from my iPhone while getting my life in order [finances, editing work, and cleaning] after an utterly irresponsible hiatus from adulthood. I’ve spent the last month and a half gallivanting across Europe and exaggerating the subsequent jet lag upon my return; I’m officially ready to get back to my productive self. With […]

Old-Fashioned Recipe | Happy Father’s Day

I want to wish a very happy Father’s Day to all the dads and father-figures out there. I owe a huge thank-you to my own Dad for being a constant source of advice, homework help, public embarrassment, and laughter–I love you dearly.

22 Things I’ve Learned | Birthday #22

Nobody cares what you look like or what you’re doing for more than a second. They’re too busy worrying about themselves. Salt cures everything [sweat, tears, salt water, or salty snacks]. You are insignificant to the majority of others; don’t take things too personally. If someone seems annoyed, there’s probably an explanation that has nothing […]

Coffee Diary | 1

You can see a piece of art and admire it without suddenly despising all of the artwork you already own. Similarly, you can admire a beautiful person without despising yourself for not looking just like them. Stop comparing yourself to others. Your face doesn’t have to look like their face and your body doesn’t have […]

Boy Brow + Stretch Concealer | Glossier Review

Boy Brow: I am very familiar with how it feels to have a “good hair day” because it happens so infrequently for me that it’s borderline monumental at this point (#bunhead). However, having a “good eyebrow day” is a new concept to me. Glossier’s Boy Brow is the cult-favorite (according to the Facebook ads that creepily always […]

I Have LI-TERALLY Become Chris Traeger

“My body is finely tuned like a microchip and the flu is like a grain of sand; it could LITERALLY shut down the entire system.” As some of you may have picked up on, I’m a bit of a health nut. In an effort to make my recipes healthier and more nutrient dense, I often over-correct […]

Cheap & Easy Teeth Whitening Routine

I am a big fan of quick and easy beauty routines [mostly due to my short attention span and fidgety nature]. I also have really sensitive teeth so name brand teeth whitening kits that I’ve tried over the years usually get abandoned before any results can be appreciated. Here is my quick and easy whitening routine that […]

Glossier Face Masks | First Impression

Skincare is essential; makeup is a choice I am very excited to be sharing my first impression of the Glossier face treatment masks: the mega greens galaxy pack and the moisturizing moon mask. These two little pots of magic are intended to be used in sequence to absorb dirt and excess oil from your pores and then […]
