A couple of weeks ago, I attended BlogHer in New York City. It was a fun opportunity to get out of the area for a couple of days, connect with other content creators and influencers, and see some friends. While I wish I could have gotten a bit more from the conference itself, I did…
Top: Cycled, Leggings: Fabletics, Shoes: TIEM Slipstreams Recently, I took a class at Vortex Indoor Cycling in Tysons Corner, Virginia.

Exactly two weeks from today, I’m going to be in San Diego for Blogfest and IDEA World! This will be my third year in a row at the conference, and the first time I will travel to San Diego. I can’t wait! Last year’s conference was in Las Vegas, and the 2016 conference was in…
I was born and raised in the Washington, DC Metro Area. I went to college in Brooklyn, New York, but I came back to the area after college and have lived here since. I love this area! There is so much history, power, and beauty in DC, despite the bad rep it gets due to…
