A Simplistic and Realistic Approach to West Coast Life & Style
I haven’t always been a morning person. In fact, until my second year of college, I could sleep in past noon. Now that I work full-time, I have to be up by 6 or 7. At first, the struggle was real. Now, I’m up at 5 AM four to five days out of the week.…
I guess this isn’t really a life “plan” per say, but I’m basically laying out my goals and aspirations for the next 3 years. In 3 years I’ll be 25 (I’m on my way to 23 as we speak). And I have sooo many goals to hit by 25. Here’s what I want // where…
Either this topic is annoyingly overheard of, or isn’t talked about enough, but here’s my personal take on the subject: Transitioning into adulthood. So how do you define being an adult? Paying for your own bills? Working full-time? Being married, having kids? YIKES. It’s different for everyone. Half of my friends I consider to be…
I’ve said this before, and I’ll say it again. I am an absolute SUCKER for Italian cuisine. I honestly only ever have three staples in my fridge that I can work around for creating easy simple and delicious meals: tomatoes, basil and cheese.

If eyes are windows to the soul, handshakes are the door. I can’t stress enough how important a good handshake is. Almost always, you can tell A LOT about a person through their handshake: what they think of you and what they think of themselves in that moment. In my opinion, there is nothing worse…
I’m not a big believer in horoscopes, but I sure as hell act like a Libra. From waking up at 5am for the gym, working full-time and making time for friends in the evenings, I’d say I have my scales well balanced. If you asked me if I was truly content in life, the answer…
I’d just like to say, I’m very proud of myself for not getting stupid drunk at a bar this St. Patrick’s Day and actually going camping to see some art and nature instead. The fresh air was worth it, though I highly underestimated the cold in the dead of night. Three things I noted: I’m…
Honestly, if it weren’t for these practices below, I would have anxiety attacks every day. OK, no I wouldn’t, but I do experience anxiety from time to time. I’m also mildly claustrophobic in the weirdest ways. The window seat on the airplane is a huge NO for me and I can’t sleep against the wall…
WTF is a life cleanse? -Basically a little reflection, reevaluation and a little reality check. With daylight savings happening this past weekend, I decided to do a little spring cleaning for my closet, which I’ll share in a later post. Along with this, I’ve decided to add a little “life” cleanse into the mix. First…
I’m a total FREAK about skincare. I’ve been washing my face and moisturizing with SPF ritually since I was a child and I have my mother to thank for that. I also have my mother to thank for decent skin and tight pores – AMEN . HOWEVER, besides the help of genetics and a…
