New Year, New You?
This Sunday I was reading the Queen Latifah interview in PARADE magazine. In the interview she talks about how she doesn't make New Year's resolutions. She hasn't done so in over 15 years. I mean I've made some resolutions that I didn't stick to in the past. But I've...
Birthday Revelations
This week three days after Christmas I celebrated my 25th birthday. Most years I just let my birthday come and pass without celebrating much or going out because of the time frame between my birthday and New Year's. But this year at the last minute I decided that I...
My Chic Boutique Tour Experience
This weekend I attended my first Chic Boutique Tour! I found out about the tour from my friend Niki McNeil's blog Single Bubble Pop. The itinerary for the day took us to some local boutiques around Atlanta including Plush Boutique, Coposhi, Meroni, Fabrik and one non...
31 Day Yoga Challenge
After reading one of my favorite bloggers nhershoes I decided to commit to the 31 Yoga Challenge! I started doing yoga late 2009 after a trainer told me I needed to stretch more. Before getting into yoga, stretching was one of my least favorite parts of exercising. I...

This year I was so pumped about Thanksgiving approaching. I feel like I don't see my family half as much as I did when I was younger. We are all so spread out and preoccupied it gets challenging to make time for everyone to be in the same space. So, I was most excited...

What I Learned on Vacation
I took a vacation this weekend on a girl's trip to Folly Beach, SC. I am reluctant to admit the last time I took a vacation before this. For the longest time that I thought that people didn't need vacations. That if I worked really hard I could keep making small steps...
Light The Night Walk
This weekend I participated in my first Light the Night Walk for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society! I walked with the Maggies' Marchers team. I found out about the event from a tweet by my friend Glissel. Atlanta Falcons player, John Abraham started the team to...
Speaking at my Alma Mater
This past week I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to speak to some Marketing Club students at West Georgia. I thought about what to say for weeks leading up to speaking. I ended up speaking about what I do now, what I learned while in school, and what I...
Turning thoughts into Actions
In my mind I'm a blogging superstar. I'm always punctual. I pick out my clothes at night. I work out everyday and eat right all the time. But the reality of that is I'm not perfect. I reluctantly have to admit that I'm disorganized. I've been in denial. We all do that...
