“Big booty bitches”, “big beautiful women”, “curvy”, “bootylicious”, whatever you want to call it, there’s been an outpouring of love for anyone that’s not a size 2. Women with “real bodies” are becoming more and more celebrated, and the change in public opinion has been reflected in pop culture, in advertising campaigns (Dove, American Eagle, Nike), … Continue reading
A letter to my 25-year-old self, who’s hopefully finally gotten her shit together and knows herself and all that jazz. Hey, I’m 19 as I write this, and I’ve gotta say I’m a little underwhelmed by it all. When I was younger, I assumed that the minute I turned 18, I would become a full-grown … Continue reading
An 11-hour northbound road trip with some friends and a too-small car made for some tiring, but overall satisfying, adventures.

There’s a laundry list of things I want to be: a New York Times bestselling author, a C-level executive, a world traveler, an investment banker, a consultant, a government official, a researcher, and a wealthy, successful woman. I attend an … Continue reading
Click here if you want to see a gallery! For the past week and a half, I have been traveling along the Pacific Northwest, through Alaska, Canada, and Seattle, and while it was tiring, I’m glad to say I finally visited these places! Alaska: Ketchikan, Juneau, and Skagway Alaska was breathtakingly beautiful, and even though … Continue reading
