I'm fed up. I'm fed up with typing. I'm fed up with checking my text messages. I'm fed up with reading news headlines. I'm fed up with being fed up with reading news headlines. I'm fed up with being overly empathetic. I'm fed up with self-righteous assholes. I'm fed up with the derived importance of … Continue reading Fed up.

The rise of women in business: A theory
I recently watched All The President's Men for the first time. During a very particular scene where the executives at the Washington Post are sitting in a conference room trying to decide what headlines to put in the next issue. I noticed, of course, that there are no women in this scene. This led my … Continue reading The rise of women in business: A theory
“What else would we be doing, watching ‘Property Brothers’?”
This is a new phrase my husband and I have in our house. It was born out of a realization that we were slowly growing into house hermits. We sit inside binge-watching HGTV instead of actually planning and executing projects. We have ideas that never come to life because we're too busy researching or reading … Continue reading “What else would we be doing, watching ‘Property Brothers’?”
Weird things I did to prep for 2018
People who know me know I love New Years - it's one of my favorite holidays. There's something about the resetting of the year that's really liberating. Like you're shedding the dead skin of an old year and have a fresh start in the new year. I set a lot of realistic New Year's resolutions … Continue reading Weird things I did to prep for 2018
I fucking hate Christmas.
It's easily my least favorite holiday. I will preface this rant by saying that the two contributing factors to this hatred are: I really hate anything having to do with religion or religious influence. When I was 15, my dad died on December 30th after a brief struggle with lung cancer, so I spent Christmas … Continue reading I fucking hate Christmas.
To be, or not to be (a selfish d*ck)?
Do you ever wonder what the point is of trying to be a good person? I had one of those days where it seemed like no matter what I did, people just didn't give a shit. I had been saving a gift for the owner of my yoga studio because it was Halloween-themed, but when … Continue reading To be, or not to be (a selfish d*ck)?
Reality check.
This morning, one of my best friends and I were texting back and forth and I sent her a photo of a closet I liked on Pinterest, and told her that I wish my closet looked like that. Her response couldn't have been more perfect (forgive the cut-and-pasted conversation): I hope you enjoyed that as … Continue reading Reality check.
Advertising is getting weird.
Look, I work in advertising. I get it. Agencies and brands always feel like they need to be cutting-edge to break through the noise - and there is some truth to that. At the same time, the pendulum is starting to swing a bit too far into "what the fuck did I just watch" arena. … Continue reading Advertising is getting weird.
Post-wedding boredom is real.
If you're a type-A bride like I was, you'll know this is a real phenomenon. You've spent weeks, months, maybe even years planning your wedding. Calling vendors, analyzing pricing, choosing flowers, tasting food, designing invitations and signage... ...and poof! It's all over. In what feels like a grand total of 5 minutes. After the honeymoon, … Continue reading Post-wedding boredom is real.
Variety is truly the spice of life.
As one of my earlier posts described, I'm not someone with a singular passion. I consider myself a "jack of all trades, master of none." This is because my family knows me as the girl who went through a LOT of phases. For me, a phase included becoming massively obsessed with something to the point … Continue reading Variety is truly the spice of life.
You're not important.
