Do you even Pumpkin?
Happy, happy Thursday. One more day til the weekend and, not sure about your weather situation, but it’s finally starting to feel like fall over here in Maryland. And what better way to celebrate fall than with pumpkins! Ironically, and this goes out to all my basics out there, it’s National Pumpkin Day! Even if you’re not into the whole PSL or pumpkin picking craze, you can’t deny that Charlie Brown and the Great Pumpkin is a classic. Don’t fight me on that one. So, naturally, I feel like it’s my duty to call some attention to some of the nutritional benefits of this little fall favorite. And if…

Fitting In Fitness: We All Start Somewhere
Hello peeps! Welcome to my first blog on my brand new website. I took a little bit of a breather from posting content while I made this switch. Bare with me while I work out the kinks. Progress, not perfection. You get the gist. Anyway, I realized that I have YET to really make a fitness post, which is kind of baffling to me.

My Love Hate Relationship with Rent the Runway
Let me start this one off by saying, I am the WORST when it comes to purchasing clothes. I can window shop for days, but to actually commit to purchasing or, god forbid, trying on clothes...I just can’t do it. This specifically becomes an issue when I have a special event coming up and need to find something schnazzy to wear...basically, I’d just wait until the absolute last second, and settle on something cheap. So, when I heard about Rent the Runway a few years ago, I was intrigued.
