Visiting Yale University
Bucket list #417 – visit Yale New Haven, Connecticut I sincerely hope this blog about Yale helps you escape a little in this time of quarantine. It sure helps me to remember this cherished memory and makes me look forward to more adventures in the future. What can I say about my trip to Yale? I mean, it honestly checked all the boxes of my Rory Gilmore fantasy. It was a short list, but it included coffee cart coffee, architecture that was way too fancy for a school, students working busily in a library and people that generally looked way smarter than me. So, what did I do on campus?…

Ever Pretty Bridesmaid Dress Review
Oooo we know what time it is! *Drum roll please* It’s time for an Ever Pretty dress review! This time I have this adorable purple tulle bridesmaid dress. Let’s do a walk through. So darn cute! I love the color. It’s unique for me because I didn’t have a single item like this in my wardrobe, so that is a major plus for me. Fit-wise, this one runs small for sure!
