Monday 5: Atlanta edition
Happy Monday!! I hope everyone had a good weekend and a restful Labor day last week! This past Friday I headed to Marietta, GA, a suburban area a little outside Atlanta. My aunt/godmother, Carrie and her husband live there and I went to spend the weekend with them! I love traveling in general and Atlanta…

Ask Him: Ft. Jack
I’ve know my friend Ali for about 7 years now; ever since we were made stand-partners in orchestra my sophomore year of high school. When I told her about starting ‘Ask Him’ over coffee, she immediately thought of Jack, a good friend of hers that she met through church and is now at the Naval…

Chin up – eyes forward: A note on comparison (with a little help from Mean Girls)
We all know women struggle with comparison. Though men do so as well, it seems to be more prevalent – or maybe more intense- among us girls. What’s up with this? I think part of it is that we want to be better. We want to grow, we want to improve. So we seek guidance…

Monday 5: September and other things I’m excited for this week.
Happy Monday! I’ll admit this morning was a little rough, waking up was not easy! I’ve decided I need approximately nine hours of sleep…which is a lot. For a long time I tried to be one of those people who ran on 7ish hours a night. This was a poor life decision and did not…

Ask Him: Ft. Nick
‘Ask Him’ is a new segment I’m starting in which I interview men (like good, decent guys) and get their perspectives on relationships etc. My first victim’s name is Nick. As you’ll learn, he is a 4th year med student doing his rotation here in Charleston who I met through a mutual friend. I was…

Behind the pictures & why social media can’t tell the whole story
As I mentioned in Monday’s post, this weekend I had an FCA photo shoot! This is about the 4th time I’ve had pictures taken for FCA and I have to say I’ve come a long way since the very first one two years ago. While my posing skills haven’t improved much, my self-esteem definitely has.…

Monday 5: This dress & other things I’m excited about
Happy Monday! I hope you’re starting off the week well-rested and hopeful. I mean, if watching Michael Phelps swim another (and possibly final?) incredible race doesn’t inspire you, what can? This weekend was fun and had quite a lot going on, including a photo shoot! Some pics are already up but more on that coming…

#Adulting: the terror & beauty that is post-grad
When I was in college, a phrase I heard pretty frequently from friends or family that had already graduated was “stay there as long as you can.” And while a lot of my fellow classmates seemed to share this mindset and were determined to prolong ‘The College Experience,’ I was quite ready to graduate, thankyouverymuch.…

Monday 5: Little Washington Edition
As you all know, (or y’all if you live in the South) for the past few weeks I’ve been posting five things I’m excited about on Monday’s. I started this in hopes to create a little more enthusiasm about Monday’s and what a new week brings, if only by encouraging you to make your own…
