Hello! So…lately I’ve been hearing all this “girl boss” talk. The “be your own boss”, “be the CEO your mom wanted you to marry” talk, or rather just captions on Insta. emiright? I can’t help but feel that even though this can be super encouraging to some women, it can also be discouraging to others. It might even form confusion. To some women these captions are totally relatable, because in fact, they ARE their own boss. It gets tricky when the…
It’s Valentine’s day! So it’s pretty obvious that it’s not everyone’s favorite day. If you would have told my naïve 13-year old self this, I would have said, are you crazy? Who doesn’t love Valentine’s day?! Maybe the reason is a bad experience one year, or you just don’t see the point in celebrating love on ONE day, like why not celebrate it every day? While I agree on celebrating love every day and being sweet to your loved ones all year, Valentine’s…
So last weekend I woke up excited to make chilaquiles. I’m not sure what gave me the inspiration, maybe a dream, or a scent, or a memory. Either way, I tried making them all on my own without looking up a recipe. I wanted to use my instincts and make them based on how I remember my mom would make them. I’ve got to say they were not bad at all. My husband would agree, but would also comment on…
The other day I stopped by Target for a few toiletries I needed and somehow ended up walking out with this cardigan and pink handbag (along with other unnecessary things). Does this sound familiar? All too familiar, perhaps. It happens to all of us, right? Anyway, when I bought the two I meant to wear the cardigan and bag separately, but something told me to pair them together, and I’m so glad I did. I love mixing casual with dressy. In this case…
I have been begging for a weekend getaway to New Orleans for a while now. I am absolutely fascinated by the food, the streets, the culture, everything New Orleans. My husband and I snuck out a few years ago and went on a secret road trip to New Orleans and Florida, and we always said we’d have to redo NOLA. It was so much fun! This year we finally did and had such a memorable time. By the end of the trip we were exhausted. We…
April is here and it’s unbelievable how quickly this year is going for us! Do you feel the same way? It’s a good thing for several reasons, but it also makes me anxious. Here’s why… a. I’m a teacher so this means summer vacation is just around the corner (yay!) b. we’re in the middle of renovating our new house and our apartment lease ends by the end of May. That’s next month! Anxiety feels all over right? Lately I’ve…
I have to admit I am completely obsessed with black leather jackets. I own a few and they are used with almost every outfit (which includes party dresses and work attire) as long as there is a hint of cold outside my door. However, when I saw this dark khaki suede jacket hanging from a rack at my local Zara store… I knew it would instantly become a favorite.. and it did.. right away. It was a nice break from the…
