A Week of Reflection

Hello, everyone. Last week, I participated in a week of silence, or muting my content to allow Black voices to be heard, stories to be told, artists and influencers to be spotlighted, etc., and I also spent time reflecting, educating myself, and committing myself to doing whatever I can to contribute to making the world … Continue reading A Week of Reflection →

A Week of Nothing

I know that it's a terrible title, but really, I didn't do much! Last week was the fourth week that I worked from home, and l think I've settled into the routine pretty well.

Anniversary Trip to Milwaukee

Hey, guys. I haven't written much lately and that is because I am still feeling sick. I seem to have an odd, unrelated barrage of symptoms and have been to several different doctors with no answers yet.

Trip to Tacoma/Seattle!

I just got back from a short getaway to Washington, and I already miss the beautiful forests and sparkling ocean! I went with my mom and brother, and we stayed for three days, trying to pack in as much as we could. The trip started with a 4:15 am wake-up time. We got to the … Continue reading Trip to Tacoma/Seattle! →

Crispy Baked Tofu!

Happy Saturday, everyone! It's a beautiful, balmy 78 degrees here in Chicago, and I'm planning to head over to a local forest preserve after writing this post. Because tofu can be kind of difficult to work with, I think it gets a bad rap. It can be a little time-consuming to properly prepare it, but … Continue reading Crispy Baked Tofu! →

Weekend Trip to St. Charles/Geneva!

One of my favorite things to do is explore small, historical towns and check out everything unique and charming about them. This Memorial Day weekend, Julian and I decided to head west to St. Charles and Geneva, and we had a great time! Working two jobs, blogging, freelance writing, and trying to stay fit and … Continue reading Weekend Trip to St. Charles/Geneva! →
