Taking Another Break.
Hey Guys & Dolls,
I wanted to take a moment to get on here and let you all know that I’ll be taking the rest of the year off from blogging, and I plan to return in full swing come January. As many of you are already aware, my mother passed away in December of last year, and this will be my very first full holiday season without her. I won’t sugarcoat things; I need this time to process everything.
I realize that I won’t be at my best during this period, and I anticipate feeling like a mess. Every holiday I’ve faced so far this year has posed its unique challenges, but this one—Christmas—is particularly difficult for me. This is the one that feels completely ruined.
My mother passed away on the day after Christmas, and it’s been incredibly hard for me to muster the energy or desire to partake in any holiday activities. So, I kindly ask for your understanding and patience as I take this necessary time for myself.
For now, check out a few older posts to get by:
Check out my galleries as well, including my travel posts, and make sure to follow me on Instagram, as I’m sure I’ll be posting there a bit more frequently.
I truly appreciate every one of you. I love you all so much and am incredibly grateful for all the love and support you continue to show me. Wishing you all a very Happy New Year!
Thank you!

there's something bittersweet about august in new york.
the city is still buzzing with summer energy, but you can feel the seasons beginning to shift. the sunsets come a little earlier, the evenings are just a little softer, and everyone seems determined to squeeze every last drop out of summer.
personally? i kind of love it.
august is the month for saying yes to rooftop dinners, lingering in bookstores a little longer, catching an outdoor movie, or taking the ferry somewhere just because you can.
