Yes, you read that right- the long overdue recap of our honeymoon is FINALLY HERE! This was both of our first time leaving the United States! So I wanted to make a really comprehensive guide to how two inexperienced travelers took the plunge and went across the world for the trip of a lifetime. Summary…

Hey, it’s ya girl, Lauren. Apologies for neglecting this blog for months on months. Honestly, I haven’t felt the inspiration. I lost touch with a lot of my hobbies, but what better time to revisit them than quarantine?? Let me preface this post by addressing the obvious topic- COVID-19. The state of our world, and…

Friendships end. Relationships crash and burn. These are two timeless truths of life. Growing up, I always focused on my own pain and anger when I would lose someone close to me- whether it be from an argument, time taking it’s toll, distance or simply not being right for each other- I never tried to…

I am still trying to grasp the fact that 2018 is over and a new year has begun. It is stressful, exciting and inspiring. I learned so much in 2018 and have high hopes for 2019. (This year is off to a great start, clearly- double-fisting holiday coffees). I believe writing some lists at the…

Welp… I wanted to do a weekly blogging series, and here I am on post #2 in said series…. nearly a month after post #1. Whoops. What can I say, I am not always the most reliable with posting content. Anyways… let’s dive right into it. Lesson #1: Not everything is worth the argument.  Lately,…

My fiance and I have been arguing almost daily for the last month or so. He wants us to continue living in California because he likes the environment, has a great job, and has some family out here. I want us to move back East to be closer to family and friends. We’ve tried talking…

Preface: I absolutely love blogging. I have always loved writing so it’s a natural progression for me. But I am also inconsistent. I thought of this series and figured it’d be a great way to keep myself writing at least once a week. So here we go! Lesson #1: Solutions to life’s biggest problems will…

It’s been almost a month since I’ve posted……. Hi, how are ya? Sorry for disappearing again. Yesterday marked a huge moment in our country. The 2018 Midterm Elections. To be completely honest, prior to this race, I had never cared about an election other than a Presidential one. But since the 2016 Presidential race where I…

I absolutely love California- it has a lot to offer and it’s a truly beautiful place to live. But in the back of my mind, I know… this will never be home. And home is where the heart is. I was born in Orlando, Florida, and lived in the state for 6 years. When I…

I woke up Monday morning at 3:45 a.m. and was unable to fall back to sleep due to crippling stress and what ultimately turned into a 2 hour panic attack. Over something that I cannot control. Earlier this week- Monday morning, to be exact- I came to a pivotal realization. I’ve been struggling with how…
