Last Minute Gift Guide for Your Girl Gang

They text you an alarming amount of Golden Girl gifs and taco emojis. They’ve watched Serendipity and The Sweetest Thing with you 65+ times (and are completely onboard with that number going up).

Gone To Texas!

This past month has been completely insane. Back in April, Scott and I made the decision to move to my hometown of Austin, Texas. We had a few months to wrap our heads around the idea, but it wasn’t until I sold my car, crammed all of our belongings into a Budget moving truck, hitched Scott’s car to the truck, moved out of our apartments and hit the road that IT GOT REAL. We spent four days on the road and I really enjoyed having that time to laugh, scream and think about how OMG it’s happening. We’re really going for it! Continue Reading

No? Oh that’s right, because I haven’t told you about it yet! Well I did do all of these things and they were haaaamazing. Continue Reading

Hawaii Vibes

GUYS! Can we please talk about how cool Hawaii is? I MEAN COME ON! Scott and I just got back from our trip and I’m still soaking it all in. We watched an active volcano glow in the night, we hiked into a crater that was once filled with lava and we ate our weight in Li Hing Mui laced shaved ice. There’s so much more, you guys. I plan to share the gazillions of pics I took as soon as I get a chance to edit them all.

I wanted to say hi in the meantime. Hi! I also wanted to share a few fancy items I picked up at T.J. Maxx before the trip. I took a look at my wardrobe and realized I needed to stock up on some new duds. Sigh. My weight has been fluctuating all over the place and it seems I’m a little too big for my britches these days. (What’s new, AMIRITE LADIES?) Continue Reading
