Honest Review of #29Rooms

In case you have been living under a rock and didn’t see it all over social media, Refinery29 recently brought their #29Rooms exhibit to DC, and reviews were, um, *mixed*. I personally have a lot to say about it, so if you didn’t go or were just wondering what other people thought about it, then keep reading! The Good: Ok, how about we start with what they did well? First off, their social media presence leading up the event was very strong, and definitely built up a lot of hype! I personally had heard about 29 Rooms last year when it was in Brooklyn, but unfortunately did not get a chance to go, so I jumped at the opportunity to go when it came to DC! They definitely promoted it well enough to get people through the door, even on the first day (when I went). They also planned it…

June/July Spotify Playlist

Hey y’all, happy first day of July!! July is my favorite month, not just cuz it’s my birthday month, but it’s the most “summery” month and I’m excited for all the summer activities I have planned. Bring on the summer vibes!! I wouldn’t be keeping it real if I said my life has been all fun and games lately. I know I post only the highlights on IG – as does everyone – but I feel like I can be more transparent on here! Without getting too much into it, I have been dealing with some really stressful and frustrating BS at work, and I am feeling a bit exasperated. Anyone that knows me or has been following for a while knows that I dealt with some really frustrating work drama last summer too (not to mention a breakup before that), so going through it again this summer is especially…

March Spotify Playlist

Happy March bb’s! You know what this means – we’re ALMOST done with winter! I am personally looking forward to longer days (once daylight savings starts), warmer weather, and hopefully NO MORE SNOW! I am only two winters into living on the east coast again, and I don’t think I will EVER be here for this snow bullshit! Like, tf?? Luckily, we have beautiful cherry blossoms here in DC in the spring (which I missed last year when I was in Israel 😭 so hopefully I’ll catch them this year!) Anyway, I also have a trip planned to LA at the end of March, which I am V excited for! I am going with one of my best friends, who has been to LA a couple times before, but never with ME! So obvi it’s gonna be great for her too, lol. But in all seriousness, I pretty much know…

Fall Reading List 2018

Hey guys! It’s been a MINUTE since my last book review, and I have a bunch of books I am dying to tell y’all about! I decided to switch how I do them though: instead of a book review once a month, I’ll compile my fave books from the previous few months into a list of reading recommendations with personalized reviews about each one! Read on to find your new fave. An American Marriage by Tayari Jones This novel starts out normally enough, with a young newlywed black couple spending a night in a hotel room before visiting the husband’s parents the next day. Suddenly, they are ripped apart when the husband is arrested for assaulting a lady in another hotel room, a crime he was falsely accused of, and sent to jail for twelve years. Bitterly reminiscent of our reality with a crippled and deeply flawed justice system, this…

June Spotify Playlist

Happy first day of June y’all! Anyone else feel like summer came really fast? We literally just got our last snowstorm a couple months ago! Since I was in Israel for most of April, that month flew by, and May was super busy so it went quickly too! Although I am (obviously) elated that it is finally summer – any other summer babies out here? – it also means that the year is halfway over and is forcing me to reflect on the progress of my goals and intentions for the year. Truthfully, I have not accomplished as much as I would have hoped – I still don’t have my dream job, I am still living at home, I am STILL not noticing a difference from the last 9 months of weight lifting 😤 – but I also feel like I have gained a lot so far. I have made TONS…
