Lavender Lemon Cake
I made a cake! I made a cake and it didn’t suck! Nah, I can make a cake, but they usually aren’t professional status like this one. I’m a pretty hesitant baker. I don’t have a lot of confidence in my baking yet because I’m still pretty new to it and the learning curve is steep. I’ve come a long way! I remember one Thanksgiving, I brought a chocolate pudding cake to a friend’s house. I bought the crust at the grocery store and just put my pudding mixture in it and let it set. I didn’t realize you had to bake it! We all had a great laugh…

150 Date Night Ideas
I’m in love. I mean, I’ve been in love for many years now, but I’m just as in love (if not more so) with Dave as I was the first time we kissed. Super cheesy, right? I know it is, but I wouldn’t be saying it if it wasn’t true. Dave and I laugh every day, we love on each other all day long, we’re considerate of one another and we rarely fight. I’m not saying this to rub it in your face. I get told a lot that we’re goals, and people always ask what my secret is. I think the answer to that is fairly complicated. I mean,…

I just love a good suit.
I just love a good suit. I got out of the habit of wearing them for a while, but this ASOS suit is giving me life and getting me back in the swing of things. You see, a long time ago, before I was a blogger or ran a magazine or even worked as a photographer, I worked in Human Resources at the Department of Veterans Affairs. Weird, right? It was never a good fit and I was never a good employee (they should have fired me many times over), but it was my career for many years when I was sorting out who I was as a human being.…

Shein Haul – is it for real?
Guys, I have a YouTube channel! I’ve been pondering starting one for some time now, but I’m always so nervous to have my face on video. I finally said fuck it and just went for it. The first video is pretty rough around the edges and much longer than intended, but it does the trick. It will get better with time. I promise! For my first video, I did a review of my entire Shein hall! This was my first time ordering from the brand. I’ve been wanting to try it for a while because, well, the clothes and accessories are just dirt cheap! I ended up really liking about…

Lennon Wall
Bucket List item #752 – Lennon Wall Prague, Czech Republic Hidden down a back alley, tucked quietly away from the bustle of Malá Strana, lives a small section of wall that stands for something big. Following the assassination of John Lennon, an unknown artist painted a single portrait on a forgotten section of wall. Like a bathroom stall in a girls’ locker room, the graffiti developed for years. It soon became a diary for Czech citizens, airing grievances with the communist regime and hopeful messages for the future. The state of the wall would eventually reach a fever pitch when practitioners of Lennonism faced the police on the Charles Bridge.…
