Nordstrom Anniversary Sale: Clothes, Shoes, Jewelry & Beauty

August 15, 2020 2 Comments

If you haven’t heard, the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is happening right now with it already open to all cardholders! However, if you’re like me and don’t have a Nordstrom credit card, we’ll have to wait until August 19 and the sale continues until August 30. I don’t think I’ve ever shopped this particular sale before although I know it’s popular one! I only recently committed to myself to buy better quality clothes even if it means a higher price tag. Most of my life, I’ve worn fast fashion so this is a big jump for me. BUT I also haven’t […]

So this time around, I knew I wanted to go to visit a few museums and other buildings around the National Mall, especially since my boyfriend joined us during the week too. After a couple of days indoors and working, we […]

Since I’ve been working from home, I’ve been trying to make weekends more exciting and Smorgasburg is perfect for that. Smorgasburg is a market with food vendors and shops. It started in Brooklyn, New York, but it’s grown to include a flea market and a beer hall in New York City, special events, and a new location in Upstate New York, LA, and – get this – Osaka, Japan! I visited both with friends and my boyfriend so it’s perfect for a […]

3 Tips on How to Be Productive When Working from Home

November 1, 2017 No Comments

Hello friends! Today I’m back to talk about how to be productive while working from home and how to handle the pull to social media, Netflix, and wanting to do literally anything but work. Let me back up. After starting my new job a little over a month ago, I had a few weeks of downtime where I did online learning modules and training. Training, getting situated, and waiting for a project, I was pretty bored. This is typical of an entry level campus hire at my firm. When I finally was on a project, I was ready to start […]

October 5, 2017 No Comments

Welcome back to my 5 part Southeast Asian adventure series! I’ll be covering the 2 and half days I spent in Siem Reap. If you’re behind, check out the last 3 posts on Phuket, Krabi, and Chiang Mai & Bangkok. When planning our trip, Angkor Wat was near the top of our list. It’s not only a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it’s also the largest religious monument in the world! Visiting Siem Reap Since Angkor Wat was the only reason we were visiting Cambodia, we wanted to make sure we did it right. We were ready to spend sunrise to […]
