January 20, 2019

Have you ever felt like you weren’t cool enough to wear something? I know I can feel this way a lot. I am SO guilty of seeing another woman in an amazing outfit and thinking “I could never pull that off.” But here’s the thing- the whole beauty of clothes is that you should be dressing in things that you love and things that make you feel good. I recently put this practice into motion after inheriting a sharp olive Harris Tweed blazer from my late Opa’s collection. … More Yes, you can pull that off!

10 Beginner-Friendly Solo Hikes Near Denver

December 11, 2018

In 2018 I set myself a goal of completing 52 hikes in 52 weeks. Most of these I completed as a solo hiker, and I had no idea where to start! So, even if you’ve never hiked by yourself before, or you hike every weekend (in which case holy cow you rock because I wish I had your self discipline to wake up and drive into the mountains every Saturday), I want to share 10 of my favorite accessible, beginner, and visitor friendly routes within an hour of Denver, because sometimes finding the right trail is the hardest part! … More 10 Beginner-Friendly Solo Hikes Near Denver

Best Frozen Treats in New Orleans

April 17, 2017

With the hot temps coming back to New Orleans I decided to do some research outside of my academic obligations and go on a hunt for Nola’s best frozen treats. Still technically research right…?The amazing thing about New Orleans is that there’s always one million and one ways to eat your favorite foods in this city, so if you’re craving an icy treat to temporarily appease melting from the humidity in this swamp we call home, look no further! … More Best Frozen Treats in New Orleans

Holiday Spotlight: Luna Fête & the Miracle on Fulton Street

December 12, 2016

For this weekend’s adventure in New Orleans I checked out Arts Council New Orleans’
2016 Luna Fête and the Miracle on Fulton Street with my friend Cara. I’m always amazed at the millions of ways that New Orleans knows how to celebrate anything and everything- and this weekend was no exception! I’d been looking forward to the event since featuring it in my 31 Ways to Spend 31 December Days in New Orleans and it totally lived up to the hype. Both of the events have quickly become mainstays on the annual NOLA calendar, so I wanted to share so of my favorite moments from the night as well as some background on the celebrations. … More Holiday Spotlight: Luna Fête & the Miracle on Fulton Street
