I take email very seriously. It’s definitely the most influential form of communication right now and I think it’s something that should be managed in a professional way. But it’s overwhelming. Unlike phones (calls, text messages, etc.), everyone can get in contact with you. Getting an email address is super easy if you know particular cadences…

How I Organize Everything
So much of what I do on a daily basis happens online. Because of this, I’ve perfected a bunch of systems to keep me incredibly organized. As a self-employed person, I find it so so so important to be as organized as possible. There is often no one else to pick up the slack or…
Adulting Gifts
I know this seems like such a boring gift guide… but I know a lot of you are in the same boat that I am. My sister, who turns 27 (how?!?!) next month, and I were just talking about how we’re officially old because our idea of perfect gifts are useful things like vacuum cleaners….

He’s always asking questions and trying to better understand things and sometimes it even makes me take a step back and wonder WHY things are the way they are. We have been playing a…
Things I’m Loving…
This was such a fun week. It was great to be home last week for Thanksgiving and as sad as I was to come back early, having a weekend to catch up before launching into the full swing of things was amazing. I definitely needed to catch up on sleep, catch up on emails, catch up…
Dressed in Holiday Style
I shot these photos for a sponsored Instagram post, but the outfit was too cute not to share here! Plus, everything is 40% off right now! Woo!! So I actually bought a red coat this year after seeing a picture on Pinterest. I loved the bright pop of red for winter and so many of…
