Our Honeymoon in Maine
We got married a week ago on Labor Day Sunday and just returned from our honeymoon in Maine. I definitely want to share more about the wedding in the coming weeks. In the meantime, here’s how our honeymoon went! After going back and forth between choosing a place we were familiar with (Charleston) or someplace completely new to both of us, we decided on Portland, Maine. We actually planned to go back in 2020 following our Portland, Oregon trip in 2019 but that never happened for obvious reasons so it felt fitting. Many people do Boston-Portland-Bar Harbor route for their Maine trip but since our trip was Tuesday-Saturday and we…

What I Read in August 2023
Hi, friends! It’s September 2nd, which means it’s the day before my wedding(!!!!) day. I seriously underestimated how occupied my brain and time would be the last few weeks leading up to the wedding. My intention was to publish this blog way earlier but clearly that never happened… So this monthly roundup will be a little bit more abbreviated than usual. I still wanted to get it up because I’ve been keeping up with these monthly book posts for almost four years (since January 2020) and I didn’t want to break the streak haha. I also had a pretty solid reading month in a while too! THE WOMEN by Kristin…

Wilmington Weekend
Hi, friends! After living in North Carolina for 16 years, I finally made it to Wilmington this past weekend. I don’t know what took me so long to visit, considering I’ve been to Charleston like five times?! I feel a little bit silly saying this but before this weekend, I thought Wilmington was a small town with UNCW and a beach nearby but it was both a lot bigger and more happening than I expected. Here’s how we spent a weekend in Wilmington: ALL THE FOOD We drove from Durham Friday morning straight to Indochine Restaurant. Indochine seems to be one of those institutions and it lived up to the…

What I Read in July 2023
Hi, friends! Back with my monthly reading wrap-up! The summer has been flying by as 2023 has been all year, especially now that we’re only a month out from our wedding. PAGEBOY by Elliot Page – 3.5 stars I got lucky with my Libby hold an didn’t have to wait long to listen to Elliot Pages’s memoir Pageboy! Elliot Page was another actor whose life I didn’t know much but besides his queer identity and gender transition. Page opens up quite a bit his book in a way that reminded me of Pamela Anderson’s book. I appreciated the opportunity to listen to Elliot Page share his story but wanted a…

Colorado Weekend Getaway
Hi, friends! Rex and I just returned from a long weekend in Colorado (flew in Friday morning and flew back Monday morning), and I wanted to document the trip on the blog and share more details than I did on Instagram so here we go! Since we arrived super early local time on Friday (around 7:30am MST), we had a full day ahead of us. After grabbing some coffee and a pastry and a breakfast burrito at a local neighborhood coffee shop, we headed over to Denver Art Museum. The admission is not free ($19 for out-of-state, non-member adults) but it is totally worth a visit! There is so much…
