Tuesday Tunesday: Don’t You Worry ‘Bout a Thing

Happy Tunesday, friends! Last night I finally had the chance to sit down and watch Universal Pictures' animated hit, Sing, and I haven't stopped singing and dancing since.

Among… Continue reading Tuesday Tunesday: Don’t You Worry ‘Bout a Thing

Motivational Monday: Grades Don’t Define You

Now, depending on how well you… Continue reading Motivational Monday: Grades Don’t Define You

Tuesday Tunesday: The Story of Tonight

Tonight's the night I've been waiting for since JUNE, friends! I'm finally seeing Hamilton! As a theater kid who has seen her fair share of theatrical productions, there are no words to describe my excitement and joy.

Kermit’s Cup of Tea: Friday Findings

Kermit Says: Live WE

Wellness Wednesday: Here’s to a Healthy Back

  Happy Wellness Wednesday, friends! This week has been quite a whirlwind filled with lots of sitting, standing, walking, and heavy lifting.

We are less than 24 hours away from the big announcement and opportunity I've been alluding to on Snapchat and Instagram, and to say I'm nervous is an absolute understatement.

Motivational Monday: Roll Down Your Window

    I'm a huge entertainment buff. Actually, that's probably an understatement. From movies to music, I pretty much love it all! This love runs so deep that my mom used to call me a walking TV Guide (which makes me sound so old and out of touch, haha). You see, before there was a… Continue reading Motivational Monday: Roll Down Your Window
