My Internship Reflection + Advice

Today marks the last day of my internship. It still feels a bit surreal.  Driving to work today was strange in itself because I knew this would be the last time I would be commuting this route every morning at 7:30 AM.  During the course of over 10 weeks, I could recall my summer in one word:  busy. A full-time internship taught me...

Before I...

Stepping Outside Your Comfort Zone

Sometimes we all need to feel uncomfortable. Whether it's beginning a new school, relationship or meeting new people being uncomfortable is normal.  Taking risks is something I shy away from, but this past week I took a risk which was well worth it. For the first week of August, I was one of five students selected to be a part of my university's...

Keep It Simple: My Daily Makeup Routine

Makeup is a topic I am not very knowledgeable about.  Ever since I was younger makeup had always seemed foreign to me.  I do not know how to properly apply eyeshadow or mascara, and honestly I am perfectly fine with that.  Makeup should accentuate the features you have, not hide them.  In opinion, the more the makeup the less I feel like myself....

My Gallery Wall Inspiration: Dorm Room Edition

Although I may be preparing to live in a tiny dorm for another year, gallery walls have been on my mind, as of late.  Gallery walls can be such conversation starter in the room.  They can often brighten up the space and add some color to a blank wall. For a more "grown up" look in my dorm room this year, I decided...

Perfecting Your Personal Brand

The term "personal brand" is such a new concept but very necessary in order to succeed in today's work force.  Those who are close to me know that I am a huge advocate when it comes to personal branding.  From updating my resumé to building my digital portfolio- these type of things make my heart do a little dance in my chest. One...

My Top 10 From Heinen's

I cannot express (even this blog post) how much I love Heinen's!  Between Giant Eagle, Walmart, Wegmans (shoutout to Buffalo/Rochester), I will forever be a Heinen's shopper.  When I was younger, there was a store about 10 minutes from my house.  After school or during the weekends, my mom would drag me grocery shopping since then, the rest is history. The family -...

While I hate this term, some may call me "daddy's little girl."  It's evident...

Chow Down At Choolaah Indian BBQ

I am still shocked by the number of restaurants in CLE.  As a young professional, convenience is everything.  While I do enjoy cooking and discovering new recipes, I don't mind dining out every once in a while.  And living in Cleveland, the options here are plentiful.  In fact, last year Cleveland was ranked 7th in the nation on Time.com's "Best Foodie Cities" list....
