Forget It. Can you guys believe the year is finally over? I say finally because while 2018 was overall a great year, I’m officially ready for a fresh start. I bought a gym membership a month early, and I did order a self-reflection journal off of Amazon that if I’m being honest, will probably never use. The thing about New Year’s is that when the clock strikes midnight, most people think it releases some magical fairy dust that makes us more committed to any future goals. If only it could release some magic that reverses all the money I spent during gluttony season (AKA the holidays). via GIPHY So what’s…

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 remind them why they’re so lucky to have you. It’s called self-appreciation, baby. 1. You can laugh all you want at the choices I make…as long as you remember you’re one of them! I don’t know about the rest of you, but my…

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 that you know are just meant for this time of year. Best part? Most of these activities won’t cost you a dime. Worst Part? Your kids or loved ones might get on your last nerve and cause that annual holiday…

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 my end and 3 months later for us to finally go on that first date. First or favorite date? My favorite date was our 4th or 5th one. He took me to a Cuban…

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 traveling is my main jam. After exploring the town a bit he suggested that we go to Airport Mesa because he read that that was the best place in town to see the sunset from.…
