Detroit-bred, BGSU alummed and Alpha Phi lifer. Scentsy addicted. Lover of Michigan & Michigan's Great Lakes. Semi-serious Costco patron, newly obsessed with hot tea. Appreciator of fine Real Estate and a wanna-be artist of somekind. Collector of office supplies and post-it notes, adores anything butchy-chic and any collages of random yet related things. Pinterest is kinda how my brain works - one second I'm thinking of constructing a headboard, three seconds later I'm distracted by reorganizing a junk drawer.

All salt must be followed by sweet, and vice versa. A caramel covered pretzel, voila. And Diet Coke. And pistachios. And popcorn.

I always have great intentions but often stifle when it comes to follow through. This blog is kindof my accountability partner, to "Be you. And be you WELL. Live the life you've imagined."

Cozy up. Enjoy, or don't. Afterall, this corner of the internet is reserved for me to just be me.

Monday, from my desk.


1. In order to inspire, you must be inspired. In order to motivate, you must be motivated. You can teach leadership, but there's no guarantee a leader will emerge nor lead. One thing is certain, per Isaac Newton: "An object that is at rest will tend to remain at rest. An object that is in motion will tend to remain in motion."


2. I'm finding myself to be very nostalgic lately. I'm also finding I want to document EVERYTHING with pictures & words. Self-appointed historian, right here. Insert Autumn saying "She would make a scrapbook of her scrapbook." 


3. My music mood for Monday is currently undetermined.


4. I've been craving salad for 24 hours, which makes me question "who craves salad?!"


5. Aside from all that, today is going to be a really, really good day, for no other reason than I'm breathing.
