  • What being a nanny has taught me about the power of vulnerability

    Earlier this week, the 11-month-old I nanny somehow cut her thumb badly. I have no idea what caused it and therefore was pretty shocked when I picked her up and found her hand covered in blood.

  • America’s sweetheart: Why no one wants to be the ‘good girl’

    I’ve listened to Elle King’s ‘America’s Sweetheart‘ more times than I care to admit. It started when the song came on my Pandora station while I was running and I discovered that it had a fantastic beat to run to. After that I included the tune in most, if not all, of my runs –…

The story…

  • The most important commitment you’ll ever make

    Today we hear a lot about young adults and our fear of commitment. As a generation, millennials tend to switch jobs more often, wait longer to get married and to buy a home. Various sources list different reasons for this. Some say it’s because we value lifestyle over economic stability (i.e. we’d rather be able to…

  • What I’ve learned from my dating fast so far

    In March I felt that I should go on a dating fast. What is a dating fast? Well, its like when you give up a certain food or Netflix or makeup…except with dating. Usually a fast is for a designated amount of time and has an underlying reason behind it. For example, you may fast…
