Every. Single. Day. Women. We love to be appreciated. It’s an ancient fact, really, and I’m pretty sure there’s some hardcore evidence to back up that statement. While it’s always nice to be complemented by random strangers and family members, there’s always that one person (looking at you, partner) whose opinion matters the most. We may not always hear it from them so sometimes you have to...

Holidays are expensive. Therefore, they can absolutely suck sometimes. Hey, I’m one of the broke and humble ones. I still got holiday shopping to do; I’m hosting this year’s Christmas dinner, I haven’t gotten a tree or decorations, and my list goes on and on…and on. While the hectic atmosphere that comes with the holidays makes you wonder why we have them in the first place, there are some things...
How did you meet? On New Years Eve 2015 at my sister’s house. After a couple of drinks and chatting about how our grandmas went to the same school and got married in the same church (were both West Seattle natives) he got the nerve to ask me out on a date. I told him that if he remembers asking me out tomorrow that I would. Well…it only took some Instagram stalking and post liking on...
Whether you’re planning on staying home for the holidays or wanting to escape to some exotic location, everything around us is a constant reminder that a new year is upon us. With the streets being decorated and everyone carrying a red cup filled with something cinnamon or pumpkin infused. Everyone is completely engrossed in preparing for the holidays or getting ready to book with an airline...

We stayed in touch as friends and finally reconnected 2 years later when Peter was home for Christmas. First or favorite date? First (P): We went to an NBA game. (Jess hates the NBA, I didn’t know that) I picked her up and we went to dinner and the game…she...
First comes the engagement, then comes the marriage and then comes the moving in together. It’s not easy sharing your home with another person, even if that person is your significant other. I mean, this is your safe place. Your sanctuary! Everything has its place, and you can’t imagine having to shuffle things around just to fit in some of your partner’s stuff. But hey, you...
How did you meet? We met on Bumble! After chatting for about a week we decided to meet up for a first date. First or favorite date? We had our first date downtown LA at Birdies. We had fried Chicken & Donuts! How did he propose? I spent Thanksgiving 2017 with Matthew’s family in Phoenix, Arizona. He suggested that since we were so close, we should take a quick trip to Sedona. I agreed because...
