Da Nico in New York City
My boyfriend and I visited Da Nico in Little Italy, NYC! I wanted to share all about our experience, mostly because it was so positive! We discovered this beautiful little restaurant just by walking through Little Italy on a Friday night, and the food met my expectations for the neighborhood. Below I describe our experience at the restaurant and the quality of the food. About … Continue reading Da Nico in New York City
My 2022 Goals
I am using the new year as a reset for myself, which I think is really important. Sometimes things get too mundane in life, sometimes you get comfortable, or sometimes you lose inspiration for what your goals look like to the day-to-day struggles you face. It’s okay, we’ve all been there, but you must make sure you pick yourself up and decide it’s time for … Continue reading My 2022 Goals
Kylie Jenner Lip Kit Review
I was so curious about the Kylie Jenner beauty products when they came out, but it took me awhile before actually trying them out. I thought the products were a bit too expensive to purchase (incase they ended up not being very good quality), but one of my friends actually ended up buying me a matte lipstick for Christmas! She knew I wanted to try … Continue reading Kylie Jenner Lip Kit Review
Long Distance Christmas Ideas
Thankfully, my boyfriend and I will be in the same place for Christmas, but for a lot of people in long distance relationships, they will be in separate parts of the country. We were actually planning some long distance Christmas ideas because originally, our plans were not going to work out where we would be in the same place; but we moved some things around … Continue reading Long Distance Christmas Ideas
Christmas Date Ideas
The holiday season is the best – scented candles, time off from work, spending time with family you rarely see, and winter activities. My boyfriend is the best at planning date details while I am better at looking at the larger picture plans. We work well in this way, but we’re trying something different this winter. Because my boyfriend will be visiting New York City … Continue reading Christmas Date Ideas

Quality Italian in New York City
I love trying new restaurants like most 20-somethings, so I was excited to try a new restaurant right near Central Park: Quality Italian. I could not wait to write this review because this restaurant was one of the best dinners I’ve had in New York to date.

Reaching Out to Old Friends
Reaching out to old friends is something that never really crossed my mind until I got older. There are friends who you were super close with a few years ago, and maybe nothing dramatic happened, but your lives went in different directions and the connection slowly faded away. This has happened to me more than I’d like to admit, and it started to really bother … Continue reading Reaching Out to Old Friends
My Trip to Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore
I had never heard of Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore before heading to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan (for the first time ever!). My boyfriend and I actually stumbled upon Pictured Rocks on accident, but it did not disappoint! Pictured Rocks is a national lakeshore on Lake Superior. We LOVE Lake Superior! It’s beautiful and magnificent and truly one of a kind – Definitely worth checking … Continue reading My Trip to Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore
My Trip to Mackinac Island
To follow up my post on taking time off, I wanted to share some travel inspo! I recently took a trip to Macinac Island, Michigan. This trip was a small get away where it was close to home (home being Chicago, where I’m from!) and easy enough to drive to in one day without having to book another flight after traveling from NYC to Chicago. … Continue reading My Trip to Mackinac Island
