This Minnesota girl spent her NYC fall break back home and it was a weekend well needed. I missed the serenity of the lake and the quiet of the country life. It was so fun to see my family, love on my pets and enjoy the fresh MN air. We went fishing in 40 degree… Read More Visiting home from NYC: Fall break in MN
What more can a girl ask for than a night out in Greenwich Village enjoying sweet treats with even sweeter friends? Today’s NYC adventure was cookie dough confections (DŌ) and yes, it was doughlicious. This adorable shop serves up gourmet, edible dough that is absolutely yummy. It’s a brilliant idea if you ask me. After… Read More Cookie dough confections NYC
This past summer I spent countless hours trying to win Ed Sheeran tickets in Minnesota. I entered every contest on Twitter (sending out tweets like “don’t have me ‘Ed Tearin,’ send me to Ed Sheeran”) … I called into radio stations every hour when they had tickets … I basically jumped at any opportunity that… Read More NYC: The city of concert dreams and endless music opportunities – Ed Sheeran on GMA
If I’ve been in New York City for an entire four weeks, does that make me a New Yorker? How about if I’ve joined the 8 a.m. commuters and 9-5p.m. working class?

The air was… Read More Experiencing 9/11’s 16 year anniversary in NYC

I was born on the 23rd and 23 has always been my lucky number… coincidences? Nah.

2 days. 2 full days left in Minnesota. That’s technically 48 hours to soak everything in… My final moments spent at home and in my own room. My last minutes in a space of more than a thousand square feet before I transition to an apartment room of roughly 600. My last summer memories being made… Read More Packing for NYC and saying final goodbyes
It’s hard to put into words the feelings Shawn Mendes will leave you with after you see him in concert. The boy is one hell of a performer and captivator. I could try to describe how he had me fascinated, over-joyed, and maybe just a slight bit obsessed… but honestly, that doesn’t even feel like… Read More Shawn Mendes: A tour to melt your heart
Los Angeles, you’ll forever have a hold on my heart. Visiting the west coast last week made my summer. Already I miss the sunshine, palm trees, ocean breeze, and surf culture. Getting to explore Cali with my favorite travel squad was the absolute best. We swam in Malibu, chased waves in Huntington, surfed in Laguna, hiked… Read More California summer adventures
Every time you travel you need to indulge in at least one treat that makes you feel like you’re on vacation. For me, my sugar coma was induced at Black Tap in New York City.
