A little strange to be spending it in England. But I fly back to Washington, DC tomorrow morning. And then back to Tampa on Tuesday. Last year, I spent the fourth with my fabulous family (minus my sister, she was in Spain) and my bestest friend ever on Long Boat Key.
Suiting Up by Freckles Hey yall! I’m so excited to be guest blogging for my friend and first cousin, College Prepster! As it is the custom of College Prepster to use a fun pen name, you can call me Freckles! I’ve loved reading all about Sporty Sister’s high school graduation excitement…I just graduated from college…
I am obsessed with chap stick. I use it all the time. I just ran out of my Burt’s Bees pomegranate, so I went to CVS to replace it. And I saw this new flavor: Mango Butter. It is SUMMER for your lips. Smells so great. Feels so great. Plain ole GREAT. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.xoxo PS…
The Henley Royal Regatta has officially begun! We raced on Wednesday afternoon against a crew that we’ve raced three times during our trip- making this our fourth race. It was weird, but kind of nice to “know” the crew. Henley is different than most sprint races that we’re used to. There are only two boats…
Recently I have been taking a look at fashion trends born out of function. The other day I wrote about UGGs. Toady, since I’m guest blogging for the College Prepster, we thought it would be perfectly appropriate to do a post on the Polo Shirt- where did it come from and how did it become…
We are so excited to race on Wednesday! We’ve officially begun our taper. We visited Oxford University with a tour by a last year’s team captain and varsity coxswain (oh, and Little V’s boyfriend!) since he attends there now. It was a beautiful– and hot– day! Perfectly summery. I hope everyone is having a good…
I’ve read a few books so far this summer… thanks to lots of waiting at the boathouse, rides on the Metro, and pure boredom. House Rules by Jodi Picoult I am just an absolute huge fan of all books written by Jodi Picoult. Aside from the morally intriguing and heart wrenching stories, her writing style…
So Saturday was the Reading Town Regatta! We rowed our boat over from the Henley course to Reading Town on Friday. Long row. We had to go through three locks! I’ll have to post a video of that haha. Anyways, so we were entered in two events (totaling three shorter races) and we won both!…
I am not a big fan of makeup. I love the way it looks on other people, but I personally don’t like the feeling of having stuff on my face. But, there are a few things that even I can’t live without. Two words: Bobbi Brown. I’ve posted about my makeup collection before: My top…
I have truly fallen head over heels for mahjong. There’s just something about gathering around a table, the satisfying clack of the tiles, the perfect mix of strategy and luck, and the joy of playing with friends. It’s more than just a game... it’s connection, tradition, and a little bit of magic. One of my favorite things in life is sharing hobbies with friends... whether it’s baking sourdough, needlepointing, or now, mahjong. Last week, I hosted a mahjong 101 class for my neighbors and friends who had shown interest in learning how to play. My mom even came up from Tampa for it! @msmahj_nj came over and showed everyone the ropes!! I got such a thrill seeing my friends catch on. By the end of the night, everyone totally got it and we all played a full game. I got four texts that night sharing that they couldn’t fall asleep because they were buzzing with excitement. (That’s always how I feel after I play too!)The more people who play, the more we can play… so consider this your sign to learn!! Do you play? Or is there a hobby you’ve fallen in love with lately?

This is the best my hair has ever been. I do not have Good Hair™️. In fact, for as long as I can remember I’ve been battling my hair in one way or another. As a baby, I was pretty bald. Then I had curly hair and my mom cut bangs (!!!). In elementary school I had a Karen haircut. At the end of middle school I fried my hair when I discovered The Chi and would wake up before 6am to blow dry and straighten my hair. My hair is going grey. My hair doesn’t like any moisture in the air and is unpredictable.
But now at 35, I’m kind of experiencing my best hair yet due to this regimen which I’ve been tweaking and perfecting for the past couple of years. I say all this to acknowledge that I’m never going to be a hair model, but this is REALLY GOOD for me and I’m happy with it.
Comment HAIR and I’ll share the products I’m using!
