Eats Lately Vol. 1

I always joke about how I should just turn my Life Lately posts into a food series because usually, 99% of the posts revolve around food. And honestly... I don't even put all the pictures of food into my Life Lately posts. I usually just pick a couple favorites so y'all don't get bored of food.

But... a couple weeks ago I had the great idea to make a new series where I literally just show a bunch of pictures of food. If you know me, you know I love food, so I thought this would be a great way to show you guys all of the restaurants I love + things I cook!

Ever since Ashley introduced me to Buon Giorno, I've been hooked. It is the cutest little coffee shop (and they have the best almond croissants!) I've gotten their iced coffee every time I've gone since it's been so hot outside, but in this picture I went with my mom and she got their latte, which looked amazing.

Summer 2019 Book Roundup: A Review of Every Book I Read

One of my favorite things about summer is that there's no school, so you have plenty of time to do activities that you don't have time to do in the school year. I love to read, but I rarely have time in the school year. I read quite a few books this summer, so today I'm sharing a review of each book I read!


By Invitation Only // This book focuses on a young couple that is getting married, and each chapter alternates between the husband's mother and the wife's mother. Each mother has a very different life: one is a wealthy socialite, and the other has lived on a simple farm for her whole life. The mothers disagree on practically everything, but as the book progresses they begin to come together. I just made this book sound really cheesy and cliche, but I swear it's actually really good.

Rating: 5/5 stars

Currently Vol. 24

1 week of school is officially down! It's been a pretty stressful adjustment going from summer to taking 7 AP classes but I feel like it's going to be a great year! I have a lot of great people in my classes and it's been a pretty good week.

from the first day of school!!

Reading... Girl, Stop Apologizing & The Summer That Made Us. I'm going to do a blog post next week on all the books I read this summer, so stay tuned!

Summer 2019 Snapshots

As I sit here and write this on the Saturday night before I start school, it's crazy to me that summer is already over. These past three months have been such a blur and I am so sad that summer is coming to an end. However, as they say... don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened. Today I'm sharing some of my favorite pictures + memories from what I might consider to be the best summer yet.

started summer off with a trip to shake shack aka my fave place

Life Lately Vol. 55

School starts on Monday and that is absolutely crazy to me. I've been trying my hardest to soak in these last few days of summer before I'm piled with homework and the weather starts to cool down. It still feels unreal to me that summer has already come and gone, but it makes sense that it went by so fast when I look back at everything I did. They say time flies when you're having fun, and I feel like that was definitely the theme of this summer.


In my last life lately post, I was about to hop on a plane to Florida! It is crazy to me that this trip was over a month ago. My dad, sister, and I spent a few days in Orlando - we went to Magic Kingdom & Epcot - then a couple days in Clearwater. See my post all about it here!

What's In My Shopping Cart Vol. 3

Welcome to another edition of What's In My Shopping Cart! Back To School season is upon us, which means lots of shopping! I've been seeing tons of cute items recently, so today I'm sharing some of my favorites with y'all!

Happy Friday! It's been a while since I've written one of these posts, but today I'm sharing twelve random things that have been on my mind recently - enjoy!

1. It's crazy to me that we only have one week of summer left. I seriously don't know where the past two months have gone!

A Trip To Galveston // What I Ate, Did, & Saw

bikini top // bottoms // sunglasses
If you follow me on Instagram, you might've seen that I spent last week soaking up the sunshine in Galveston, Texas! My family and I took a trip down to the beach last week and it was so much fun! This was our second year in a row that we visited the island, and it was really nice because we already had a feel for the town and we knew what we wanted to do. We basically copied the itinerary from last time (click here to see what we did last year!) and it was such a fun trip!
