If you know me IRL, you know how much I love being in bustling cities… and NYC is obviously no different. I visited for the first time last October, and since then, I’ve been itching to go back! Luckily, one of my best friends Nikki moved there this summer, so in October, I took a […]
There’s nothing like exploring a new city—whether I’m visiting a different country or just a few hours from home in Birmingham, I always love to try new spots and meet fresh faces. Last weekend, I made my way to Florence for a work trip and made plenty of time for fun in between. Florence is […]

I’ve been slowly curating the details of my apartment for the past few years living in downtown Birmingham—and, besides the clutter I’m […]
If you happen to see me strolling the streets of Birmingham, I will most likely have an iced coffee in hand. I’m no expert in coffee, but I am an expert in cute coffee shops that have fun latte flavors and Instagram-worthy aesthetics. Save this list of my favorite coffee shops in Birmingham for the […]
Today I turn 25, and while I’m already an optimistic person by default, I’m feeling more excitement for the future than ever before. Throughout middle school and high school, I always looked towards the future with hope for a day I’d be on my own, with a job where I can write all day, surrounded […]
