A Guide to Gaining Self-Confidence
My journey to becoming comfortable in my own skin and has been outrageously painful and excruciatingly long. I’ve lived most of my life with underlying insecurities wreaking havoc on my confidence and have really struggled to find myself. I’ll be talking a lot more about this in an upcoming story for Lucy’s Magazine (releasing next month), but what I want to talk about in the meantime is the life changes I’ve undergone that have sincerely made a difference in my self-confidence. The fact of the matter is that no matter how much you work out, not matter how healthy you eat and no matter how well you wash your skin…
Loopy Doopy rooftop bar
Bucket List item #2458 – Loopy Doopy rooftop bar On the tippy top of the Conrad Hotel, sixteen stories above the streets of Manhattan, lives an unassuming little rooftop bar. It’s not fancy or grand like many elevated drinking establishments, but you will discover nirvana. The beautiful view will bestow some smiles, but the drinks? Those will leave you in ecstasy. Any time I add an item to the bucket list via some sensationalist news media source, I’m always weary. Just because a food item is larger than life does not mean it’s the best. It’s a novelty, so I went into Loopy Doopy thinking as such. What I found…
Ever Pretty Wish List
I was recently sent two beautiful dresses from Ever Pretty, which I talked about on this blog post. I fell in love with the quality of both of them as there’s a lot of bang for your buck there. Neither were your run of the mill cheap dress. So, of course, now I want more. I made myself a little wish list of my top ten favorite dresses on the site right now. Tell me in the comments which is your favorite! And remember that if you like these, read my previous blog about fit and thoughts. The Ever Pretty brand dress I tried definitely ran small, so I would…
Magnolia Plantation
Bucket list item #976 – Magnolia Plantation Charleston, South Carolina, USA I remember when I was working on an itinerary for our anniversary last year, I told Dave one day we were slated to spend the entire day at Magnolia Plantation. He looked at me like I was a crazy person. “We’re spending all day at a plantation. What on earth would we do at a plantation all day?” To which I replied, “Everything, Dave. Everything.” When I say everything, I sincerely feel like I’m not exaggerating. Magnolia Plantation & Gardens seemingly has it all. There’s the plantation itself, lots of gardens (they weren’t really in bloom while we were…
Ever Pretty Dresses Review
I’ve found a new place to shop dresses and I’m losing my mind a bit here because it’s almost too good to be true. Ever Pretty was so generous as to gift me two dresses of my choosing for review. Of course, I was over the moon because I just love my dresses. It took me a fairly generous amount of time to choose, but I settled on a v neck party dress with red flowers and an a-line pink number. When they arrived in the mail, my initial shock was the quality. These dresses were both under $40 and they are beautiful. I didn’t know about the pleated pink…
