This week felt like it flew by and moved in slow motion all at once. I’ve been stuck in bed for three (going on four) days now with a terrible sinus infection, working from home and binge-watching a mixture of cartoons and dramas. Has anyone else seen The Good Doctor on ABC?! I don’t know how I’ve been missing out on this show all this time, but it’s officially a new favorite of mine. Perhaps I was too distracted by my…
One of my absolute favorite parts of the blogging community is meeting other bloggers sharing and creating similar (or different) content and getting a glimpse into their lives the way you would with an “in-person” friendship. In some ways, I feel like I’m more in the loop with friends I’ve made through blogging than outside of it, because even if we haven’t had a second to catch up recently, I can follow along with what they’ve been up to! …
Seersucker & Sailboats | The Perfect Beach Style and Accessories for Summer

I am also trying to be realistic about my future and not invest in high price-tag items if I might be moving again in the future (which I most likely will be). That means we’re…
Welcome to August, friends! Does anyone know what age it is that you stop feeling like you should be stocking up on fresh new school supplies and filling out a new agenda as soon as August rolls around? I had some seriously nostalgic moments this morning thinking back on those incredible summers growing up where your only responsibilities were sleeping in, eating junk food while your parents were at work, lounging by the pool and watching tv shows like Zoey 101 and Drake…
I’ve been selfishly holding this guacamole recipe to myself ever since my trip to Puerto Rico for my birthday. After serving it several times and having people demand the recipe, I’ve decided to share it with everyone!

We found this recipe at a restaurant next to my cousins adorable little surf shack in Puerto Rico…
