Well, world, I am officially coming to terms with the fact I will be 30 in a few days. It’s crazy because when I look back I can’t help but question if I’ve done everything I wanted in the last decade. As a woman turning 30 it’s easy to compare yourself to others, especially when society puts so much pressure on us to be at a certain point in our lives. Shoot, my mom had three kids by the time...

Happy (almost) Valentine’s Day! I bet most of you are have a day or weekend full of activities with your spouse so they can spoil you with all of the heart-shaped items from the back aisles of Target you casually requested weeks ago.

I’ve heard it since I turned 21. The phrase, “You know you’re 30 when…” which typically is accompanied by a reference to purchasing home decor, drinking wine at home instead of going out or being asleep by 10 p.m. on a Friday night. And as young 20-somethings do, we’d roll our eyes and think, “Okay, that’s never going to happen to me. I will be forever young and will never grow out of my partying ways. This is WHY I...

Every metropolis has them. A breed of mammal that can only be found deep in the center of a concrete jungle. They travel in packs dressed in shades of blue, gray and khaki, as they prattle about their latest successes. These creatures may vary depending on geography, but rest assured they can be seen in their natural habitat in the morning grabbing a hot beverage, around lunchtime prowling for food or hanging out at the nearest watering hole in the...
