This was one of those weeks that didn’t stand out for anything unusually awful, but it was an uphill climb. It’s funny, many friends I spoke to felt the same about this week and all for different reasons. Maybe it’s the rain (those down south I’m wishing you the best through this hurricane!), back to… Continue Reading Weekend Reads #20
Last month I spent almost a week in Lewes, Delaware with my three friends. We stayed in a house in downtown Lewes, walking distance to restaurants and shops, a short drive to the Lewes shore. This past weekend I went to Rehoboth Beach, Delaware with my sister, mom, and daughter for our annual beach getaway.… Continue Reading Delaware Beach Trips: What I Packed, What I Wore
I have never liked my belly. I always felt it was too big. In high school, I starved and purged until I was under 100 pounds but I still had a pooch.

I shop for Emerson and see the greatest raincoats… Continue Reading The Best Raincoat for Every Situation

UGH SHORTS, amirite? They’re rarely flattering, they ride up, they bag, bunch, gape, bind. They seem to highlight the worst parts of a figure. I’ve spent many summers pretending I’m completely comfortable in a pair of cropped pants or jeans and I’m over it. I’m enjoying life, and I’m not letting my personal issues with… Continue Reading Shopping Hits and Misses: Shorts Edition
