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.

Reality Check

|Wishes aren't bad. But, be careful what you wish for.|

there are days i wake up and think "i wish someone paid me to sit in front of my computer and just write. about whatever i wanted to write about."
i picture mid-morning sunlight beaming through narrowly open blinds. i open the window to let fresh air bellow in. i brew a full pot of coffee, clench my warm mug, lean back in my chair, and relish in this wonderful set of moments.

But let's be real. If this were your life, you would yearn for a job a little less dependent on your creativity.
and. You hate coffee.
