For the record, today is Thursday, if days of the week are even relevant to you anymore. I've been writing this post in my head for the past ten days. Originally, it was a lot of random thoughts about this surreal, never-ending horror movie we are all watching on real life IMAX together. Then, it... Continue Reading →
it’s called a spring washer for a reason
This post is mostly about furniture assembly gone awry. But also other things, because life is weird right now. I'm writing this around 9:30 on Wednesday night. Trump just addressed America about the 30-day Europe to U.S. travel ban and we've just learned that Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson are in Australia with the not-so-charming... Continue Reading →
highway makeup
The magic of life is in the moments when you think you're a hot mess for putting on mascara in morning traffic and then you look over and see a chic full on contouring her face. I kid you not, this woman was the Kim K of RVA. I wanted to give her a head... Continue Reading →
work bff
Oh hey there. It's Chan. So how do you survive your workday? Coffee, chocolate, naps under your desk, online shopping binges? If you're lucky, you have a work bff. If you're #blessed, you have a Fats. Fatima, Fats, Fat Shady. Always 110% up for a photo shoot at any moment. The importance of a work... Continue Reading →

perfection doesn’t exist
Hi there. ♥ First, I want to say thank you so much for the sweet and thoughtful messages you sent me about last week's post. I loved all the support. I especially loved hearing the few messages that said the post came at a great time, either because someone had just had the same email... Continue Reading →
rejection, resilience and donuts
Hello ladies and gents. ♥ Happy hump day. It's story time. Four weeks ago I applied for a job, three weeks ago I had a one hour and forty minute outstanding phone interview (yes, 100 minutes), two weeks ago I had an in-person interview and last week I got a rejection email. Normally, this wouldn't... Continue Reading →
fri-to-the-YAY
Oh hi there! I've missed you. ♥ Happy Friday and omg did you know actual summer is only 6 days away (even though it's been a billion degrees for the past couple months)? What are your travel plans? Tell me everything. I've been thinking about this blog a lot lately and thought it would be fun... Continue Reading →
money money money (and brains)
In the vein of having adult thoughts (see yesterday's post re: to-do lists), I am searching for the best money management software. Something like Mint.com. I'm curious what you use, if anything? I know money is an awkward subject for people. I write a lot about spending money, but I think managing it well is... Continue Reading →
setting intentions
I'm the queen of distractions and the first to admit it. I would love to be that gal who has laser sharp focus and can whip through a to-do list like nobody's business, but I am certainly not her (at least not at this moment in my life). Sometimes the day flies by and I... Continue Reading →
