What I Read in February 2022
MAID: HARD WORK, LOW PAY, AND A MOTHER’S WILL TO SURVIVE by Stephanie Land – 4 stars I had put this on my TBR list after seeing a couple of Bookstagram friends’ reviews. Stephanie Land writes about the time in her life when she unexpectedly found herself as a single mother in desperate and hopeless circumstances. Instead of going to college as she had planned, she becomes a housekeeper in order to survive. She eventually, almost miraculously, is able to pursue her dream of moving to finish school and becoming a writer. Heartbreaking and inspirational, Maid gives a glimpse into the life many people live but we don’t get to…

Week in Outfits 2022.02.27
How Last Week Went: I had Monday off for President’s Day, which was a first in my life I think haha. While it was a short week, work was pretty busy and I had a couple of late nights. It felt good to be productive though so I’m not complaining. The weekend was busy in a good way and I got to tackle some big boring things I’ve been meaning to, including transferring and purging old photos from 2021. This is something I did for the first time at the end of 2020 and I loved looking at photos from the past year and having a clean slate makes my…

Week in Outfits 2022.02.20
TUESDAY I took off work on Monday and spent most of the day reading and doing things around the house, including purging my notes from college classes! It felt good to cross some things off my list and set me up for a great work week, especially since it was a four-day work week! Tuesday was a normal workday, a little bit of catch and some meetings. Nicola Bathie Sarah Pearl Headband WEDNESDAY I had all but one meeting cancelled or rescheduled on Wednesday so it ended up being a pretty slow day, which I probably needed after a day of catching up on Tuesday.

Week(end) in Outfits 2022.02.13
Hi, friends! I am back with my first Week in Outfits post of 2022! Week in Outfits posts became one of my favorite posts to write about since it motivated me to put different outfits together and also gave me a chance to reflect on a weekly basis. I am still figuring out some of the stuff I want to do for the blog (a big portion being deciding how I want to store and organize the photos and videos) so I haven’t been taking as many photos this year, including outfits photos! Adding to that, there had been some days where I was frankly struggling mentally and didn’t want…

Durham Date Night: Saint James Seafood
If you haven’t heard already, Saint James Seafood is open back up after almost two years! I used to walk by Saint James Seafood every day to catch the bus when I worked at Duke, and I finally got to go after almost four years haha. I was trying to think of a place to celebrate Alex’s birthday and Saint James Seafood’s reopening was a sign from the universe. We dined in the first Friday they were open, and they had a packed house! I strongly encourage you to make a reservation, especially if you want to go during the weekend. FYI They do not have outdoor seating, and their…
