Daily Recommendation: 7 Day Compilation

I am so sorry for the lack of daily recommendation posts over the last two weeks (!!), but I've been on travel and super busy which has led to a seriously (and inexcusable) lapse in posts. So, I thought I would do a multi-day recommendation post instead (in an attempt to catch up). And I promise… Continue reading Daily Recommendation: 7 Day Compilation

Snapchat Allows Me to (Really) Be Myself

I've been on Snapchat for about 3 weeks now (for the second time) and I was about as hesitant as anyone can get. You can read all about that here. But, after almost a month of using it daily, I can say this much: Snapchat allows me to really be myself. What do I mean by that? Well, if you follow… Continue reading Snapchat Allows Me to (Really) Be Myself
