A Beginner’s Guide to: Using TikTok and Making Videos

Let me guess: a couple weeks (maybe even a few days) into quarantine, you downloaded TikTok and SWORE it was a dumb appyou were too old for, but just needed a bit of entertainment for a few weeks until this damn thing was over. And then a few weeks went by, and this damn thing didn’t end, and you got sucked deeper and deeper into TikTok addiction…it’s ok sis. You are me, I am you! This is a safe space!! Now that we are here, what’s next? Chances are you have spent HOURS scrolling through videos, laughing your ass off, maybe even sharing some videos with friends on TikTok or on Instagram. It’s been fun and all, but now you’re thinking “damn if these teeny boppers can make all these videos, why can’t I??”. Except you don’t know where to start and every time you try to, you just get…

Palm Beach Recap (and Tips for Dealing with Crappy Weather on Vacation!)

I spent last week in Palm Beach for what was SUPPOSED to be a nice relaxing little trip away from the cold, but quickly went south when I realized I was only going to have one day of sun! Keep reading to see how I stayed sane and kept busy while it rained all week… Day 1: I am so glad I booked an early flight on my first day, because I found out right before I left that it would be the ONLY day of sun, and I definitely wanted to take advantage. I also felt like for such a short trip, it would have been a waste to get there later in the day regardless of the weather. I landed in Palm Beach at 9:30am, ELATED to be standing outside in a tshirt and biker shorts! I got to my AirBnb quickly, and was able to go straight…

How To: Style Black Combat Boots

I bought a new pair of black combat boots this year, and I am OBSESSED! They are black faux leather with a crocodile skin pattern, a bunch of buckle details and gold hardware, which I LOVE. I have been styling them with all kinds of outfits, but here are two of my favorite ways to wear them: Outfit 1: I have never been the type to wear an all black outfit – I don’t even wear black year round – but there’s something I LOVE about super light wash jeans paired with a black top and accessories. It really makes the denim pop! The blazer adds some class and pulls the look together, making it a perfect fit for fall. This outfit would work with any black top and any black boots or heels, but there’s something about the combat boots that I think looks really cool! Especially contrasted with…

How to: Get the Life You Want

Every year on my birthday, I take the opportunity to reflect on my last year of life and set goals and intentions for the upcoming year. Since my birthday is about halfway through the year, it’s also a great time to check in on my New Year’s goals and intentions, to see how far I have come and what work I have left to do to meet the rest. It seems like my last few birthdays have come either during or right after a big transition, hardship or struggle. This year is no different, but luckily it feels different this time. For those of you that follow me on Instagram, you probably know I got fired from my job a few weeks ago. Not only am I not upset about it, but I feel like it was the best thing that could have happened to me, and I am SO…

How To: Meditate (and Actually Stick To It!)

If you are reading this blog post, chances are you have read a how-to article about meditation, and feel like every time you read another one, you are even more confused about HOW to actually meditate! That is because there are a million and one ways to actually meditate, with none being better than the next. It really is all about what you prefer, what works for you, and what you are actually going to stick with. I started meditating almost seven years ago, while I was taking a “Psychology & Meditation” course in college. Although I technically learned how to meditate in that class, my interest in meditation had already been piqued enough to register for the class, so the formal course was really just a gateway to me starting my meditation journey. Some of the techniques I learned in that class have stuck with me, and I still…
