Writing a blog post on Kate’s many green coats felt inevitable at this point. There is only so much you can say on instagram stories but I also wanted to do a deep dive and bigger break down of the coats.
Let’s start with why I started counting how many green coats she has and overall beginning a Coat Counting series. I think we can all agree that 19 coats is a lot for anyone. 19 green coats feels like overkill.
Read MoreFor the final leg of the Caribbean tour, The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge went to the Bahamas. I think this was Kate’s strongest part of the tour fashion wise. The bright colors, soft and airy just as the silhouettes themselves felt very spring and soft which I think is what this tour really needed.
Read MoreThe second leg of the tour brought the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge to Jamaica. They arrived the same day they left Belize. Kate wore this stunning bright yellow Roksanda dress for her arrival in Jamaica. Once again dressing with color of the flag of the country she arrived in. This isn’t really a color we often see Kate in.
Read MoreIf you don’t follow me on instagram, you might not know that I follow British Royal fashion, specifically of Kate and Meghan, very closely. Last week, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge (better known as Prince William and Kate) went on an eight day tour of the Caribbean in honor of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee which celebrates her 70 years on the throne. Now this tour had a lot of issues: out of touch, protests, and a PR nigthmare to name a few. However, I want to focus on the fashion aspect because they reflect each of those issues and as a summary, Kate’s team let her down greatly.
Read MoreI feel so stuck.
Stuck and unmotivated even. It feels like a year into a pandemic is finally catching up with me mentally.
I haven’t had a job interview since last March, the week everything shut down and I can’t stop thinking about one topic and that was ambition.
Read MoreThe first book I read this year was HRH: So Many Thoughts on Royal Style by Elizabeth Holmes, my best friend got it for me for Christmas, not even knowing it was top of my list, and I just couldn’t put it down! I’m almost upset that I read this book so quickly but I guess that means I have even more time to go back and read it over and over again.
Read MoreThis time last year I was creating this space. I was transferring my old blog that I had for years, to this blog. Going through every post to fix the formatting and re-add photos. Lots of tedious work. And it was all going to be worth it because I was going to make an effort to write as often as possible, take photos, chat about anything on my mind last year.
Read MoreI always have a lot to say after a team I follow postseason run has ended. Sadly, it’s always been after a loss to end the season. I was really hoping this would be different, alas, here we are.
I will say this is much different than the last time I wrote something like this, after the Texas Rangers’ very short lived postseason run in 2016. I said this on the podcast but the 2019-2020 Dallas Stars making it to the Stanley Cup Finals felt a lot like the 2010 Texas Rangers making it to the World Series.
Read MoreWhen you google “are candle toxic?” or “are candles bad for you?” there aren’t very many reputable sources that come up. I couldn’t find any news sources, most seem to be blog posts, or posts from a company/brand trying to sell you their own product in place of candles. Honestly, most of the people I see saying candles on toxic, then try to sell the Young Living essential oils.
Read MoreLike most of my ideas, this started after seeing a few people talking about the Think Dirty App on Instagram. With that I wanted to turn it into more of a fact-checking series because research is something I love to do. Especially when it comes to things influencers/bloggers share on Instagram. I think it’s always good to hold anyone accountable but especially those who have a big following, and therefore a big influence.
Read MoreI don’t think I truly understood what Impostor Syndrome was until I started to feel it myself. I noticed, mostly while recording my podcast (not so shameful plug for A Show of Their Own) that I would be hesitant to call myself a journalist and kinda brush it off.
Read MoreSomething about it being hot outside just makes me exhausted and too tired to do anything, even if I’m staying inside. Obviously that is exasperated by being in the middle of a pandemic.
Read MoreSince being diagnosed with Celiac disease a few years ago, it’s been even more of an adventure. There are a lot of recipes I’ve found on Pinterest that were easy just to make gluten free by changing regular flour to gluten free 1 for 1 flour. But sometimes recipes aren’t easy to switch.
Read MoreI started a podcast!! Along with my friend Laura, we came up with ‘A Show of Their Own’ after many conversations about women covering sports, our love of sports, and just over all having conversations about everything.
Read MoreA lot of work I’ve done and still do is freelance and mostly working from home. So I wanted to share some things that I thought might be helpful because I know working from home can be a hard transition for some and especially if that’s just not in your personality to be at home and away from the social aspect of going into work.
Read MoreAfter scrolling through social media the last few days, I wanted to share some things I’ve come across to put off boredom and anxiety, while we are all practicing self-quarantine and social distancing. I usually share a lot of this on Instagram stories but putting here feels like it’ll be easier to find and come back to!
Read MoreSo I want to start by saying, these are just things that work for me and I totally understand they might not work for everyone but if even one person finds this useful, it’s worth sharing. Right now I’m still searching for a full-time job and doing freelance work from home so a part of that is I sometimes feel guilty if I don’t feel productive.
Read MoreI decided to make a list earlier this year of all the books sitting on my bookshelf that I still need to read and/or finish. Kind of as a way to hold myself accountable and have a better visualization of how much I’ve read.
Read MoreHaving one day dedicated to “unconventional fans” is not inclusion, it’s a cop out. It’s used to make the team/league/sport inclusive to make up for the gate keeping. How about we make it inclusive all year round? It’s easier to believe in yourself and your goals and your dreams if there are people that look like you doing it already.
Read MoreAn interesting conversation that’s popped up recently is about critiquing winning teams. Really it’s fair to say it is a conversation that’s been around forever. I think it should be pointed out that there is a large difference between criticism and insults.
