Free Thoughts
“Stand up against governments. Stay irresponsible. Say only what we know & imagine. Absolutes are Coercion. Change is absolute. Ordinary mind includes eternal perceptions. Observe what’s vivid. Notice what you notice. Catch yourself thinking. Vividness is self-selecting. If we don’t show anyone, we’re free to write anything.“ -Cosmopolitan Greetings, Allen Ginsberg So, “make the most […]
Marvelous Summer Monday
What is it about the summer months that we all of a sudden become so busy and time has a way of sprinting by? I’m linking up with Katie for Marvelous Monday. Marvelous is swimming and reading at the pool Sunday evening with my cousin. Marvelous is being with my parents; whether we’re attending a wedding, going […]
Sunday Afloat
I’m back! It was so nice to be away from the computer last week. Sometimes a break from our favorites can be just the trick to spawn creativity. But actually, it was nice to give my eyes a break from the ole’ screen. I worked my first three days at the beach and then got […]
Beachy Monday
Hello from the beach! Okay so my view looks a little more like this right now… Besides putting in some work hours, I plan on reading, listening to music, swimming, playing frisbee & paddle ball, and doing lots of runs and walks. I made a salad today for lunch. And to balance out the healthiness, […]
Dance Party
I attended my first blogger meet-up last night at Maya for Charlottesville Restaurant Week! We discussed all things foodie, fitness, and blog-related over a delicious 3-course meal. I ordered the mixed green salad, grouper and bourbon chocolate torte for dessert. Pardon my photos above. I think it’s high time I invest in a nice camera! Any […]
Cookie Dough for Breakfast
This morning I wanted baked oatmeal, but time was not in my favor. I decided to try my hand at no-bake cookie Dough for Breakfast.
Lunching at Ruby’s
Do you ever crave a healthy meal after a weekend of savory comfort foods? My parents and I sure did on Sunday. We were on our way back from a wonderful weekend spent with family attending the Greenbrier Classic when we decided to pull over for a late lunch. Typically, we like to check out […]
Pasta and Pie
Before I started cooking, I never thought certain pairings could work. Some discoveries I’ve made:

Social Media!
Is it Thursday already? Woo! I’ve been so busy this week exploring the wide world of social media that I’ve neglected my blog a bit! Speaking of which, I came across this quote on Pinterest and felt immediately inspired: Apart from health and fitness, I’m a big social media fan. I love creating profiles […]
A Fun PR Conference
What a crazy past week it has been. I was out of town last week for Demand Success, a PR conference, and it was quite amazing. From awesome speakers to eager attendees, the event was a complete success! Arianna is such an inspiring person. Check out my blog post on her talk, which hardly does […]

I hope everyone had a fun 4th of July yesterday! My friends and I made American themed clothes to wear to get into spirit. I made a crop top out of an old tee shirt using this tutorial. During the day, we conversed over drinks and listened to music in the warm summer heat. While […]
