    Chicago, Tattoos, and Bob Saget?

    Last weekend, I had the pleasure of escorting Mell and another friend (Courtney) to Chicago. They had tickets to see Bob Saget, but I have a car that gets CRAZY good gas milage, and no doubt, I am better suited for the aggressive Chicago driving. Plus, I’m up for an adventure pretty much ALL the time, and if it’s to Chicago, I’m even more in.   The day was FREEZING, so my face was all wind-burnt all day. So that was whatever. We weren’t downtown, but we were south of downtown (in the area surrounding Thalia Hall.)     Our first stop was at a Mexican resturant. It wasn’t planned,…

    I’m Not a Minimalist

    Tips for Surviving the Morning

    This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #MorningWin #Target #CollectiveBias     I wake up in the morning at 6:29 AM. Just a moment before my alarm clock goes off, and I am awake and ready for the day. I take my time getting ready, curl my hair, apply my makeup perfectly, make a big breakfast, sip tea while petting my cat… And then I ACTUALLY wake up, after my snooze button has been pressed so long that the next time it goes off, I will have to run out the door. I throw my hair up in a bun,…
