Read MoreIt’s the question that sneaks up on you while you’re scrolling through Zillow at midnight, sipping your oat milk latte, or finally sitting down after a long day of meetings (a mix of Zooms and IRL ones because, apparently, hybrid work is the best of both worlds). For those of us who are doing all the things—getting promotions, finding the right partner, adopting rescue dogs instead of having kids—it’s the same question that stares back at us in those rare, quiet moments: What do we do now?
Read MoreI was upset at work again today. Not because of work—I love my job—but because the reason isn't important to this post anyway.
Read MoreOh, New England. The land of icy roads and even icier social scenes. I swore I’d never return after college, when my Midwestern self was met with a chilly reception colder than a Nor’easter.

And a few more of them that I’ve lost interest in visiting for one reason or another; so, I thought it might be fun to write out an updated list. If only just to help myself keep track of where I should book next. 😉

I’ve seen the trend going around online of people making their ins and outs list, and while I feel like that’s a bit played out, I have been thinking about my current ins a lot lately; so much so that some of my current obsessions are legit keeping me awake at night.
Read MoreThis week was an exciting week for James and Jami. After weeks of deliberation between James, my best friend Nicole, my mom, and myself, I finally took the plunge on a wedding dress.
Read MoreI'm just another Millennial taking on life one cup of coffee at a time. My blog Espresso Myself is a place for me to be me, for myself, and for everyone else. Write on!
