I’ve never been one for fads. I know they pass and I have very little interest in being a follower. Especially when the fad goes against my very being. Like gaucho pants… I haven’t a clue who thought those were a good idea, but the thought of them still haunt me to this day. They just go to show that popular opinion is NOT always correct.
Read MoreIn case it wasn’t already clear, I am not big into most holidays and anything holiday-spirit-esque.
We didn’t celebrate them when I was young and I just grew up with the mentality that Christmas and the like were more-or-less unnecessary expenses, wastes of time, and stress-causers.
Read MoreI’ve always been really into music. I love that feeling when you hear a song and it really resonates with you. When you feel connected to a song’s message, almost on a spiritual level.
Read MoreSo, there’s this magical place that has everything you could ever need and some things you didn’t even know you wanted. It’s a colorful, exciting place that brings so many people joy. No, I’m not talking about Disney World or Santa’s Workshop. I’m referring to a place that you probably have not far from your own backyard. I’m referring to the Swedish masterpiece that is known as IKEA.
Read MoreHoliday shopping, while fun, can be daunting for even the most avid shopper. Thankfully, I’m here to make it a little bit easier.
Read MoreIt’s date night!
Every so often, Ethan and I head out on the town to unwind in the evening after a long day of work. We have plenty of favorite places, but when we’re feeling and famished and a little feisty, there’s only one place that’ll satisfy us: Sagebrush Cantina in Lake Orion.
Read MoreHalloween has always been my favorite holiday. And the decorations are my absolute favorite part.
Date night a few weeks back brought Ethan and I to a small-town in Eastern Michigan which boasts a celebration of skeletons for the month of October, called The Skeletons Are Alive!
Read MoreI love everything about Halloween - the mounds of sugary candy, the extravagant decorations, and the avant-garde costumes! It’s all just extra AF. I can barely contain my excitement for October 31st to roll around. I started decorating our apartment with haunted purple and orange trees and wreaths with lights and ghosts in early September!
Read MoreI don’t often talk about my past - including where I’m from. It’s not that I’m ashamed of what’s behind me and what got me where I am today, I guess I just don’t often see the relevance in brining it up.
Read MoreI'm not an online shopper. I have always believed that it was a lesser way to shop. I mean, how could I ever really know what I was getting before I saw it, felt it, and tried it on in person?
Read MoreThey say that when you're in a relationship with someone, you should try and take an interest in what they are interested in. Well, I don't know who "they" are, but because of them, I'm learning to fly fish. You read that right; I've been putting on waders and trudging through knee-high Michigan rivers in search of little fly-nibbling Trout. I'm just as stunned as you are, maybe more.
Read MoreI, like many millennials out there have my own website. Partially for exposure when it comes to applications and networking, partially because it gives me a creative outlet to write and design, and partially just for vanity. I mean, I'm only human.
Read MoreI can't sleep. For those who know me - there's no surprise there. I would say that I have a lot on my mind, but that would be the understatement of the century.
Read MoreA day with your family, watching glorious planes take to the skies and show us what flying is all about - that's how we do Independence Day in #PureMichigan.
Read MoreFour years ago, I was beginning to make decisions that would change my life forever. Four years ago, today seemed like an eternity away. Four years ago, I had wide eyes and ambitions as great as the day is long. Four years ago, was my senior year in high school.
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!
