Where to Take Photos in NYC & Packing Tips
NYC has so many amazing photograph spots but one walk in particular will leave you with enough photos to start a new Instagram! For anyone going to NYC I highly suggest walking the Brooklyn Bridge on a beautiful day. There are some amazing picture opportunities on the bridge itself. Once you get on the Brooklyn side take the DUMBO walking exit at the end of the bridge. After you go down the stairs, make a left and continue straight. This is where you will find EVERY blogger, fashionista, social media influencer and photographer taking pictures with the stunning cobblestone streets, bright red brick and the Brooklyn Bridge in the background…looking…

How to Find Motivation for the Gym
I am not sure how some people do it. Are they born this way? Do they crave something that maybe I am just allergic to? I just do not understand how some people enjoy going to the gym. Recently, I’ve been at this crossroads with myself. A place that I have been one too many times… where I value my health but I have no desire to go to the gym. You see, I love my body. All the curves and strength it contains but I also know that in order to be healthy and be around for a long time, I need to sweat sometimes. Finding that motivation is…

This Is Your Sign! Do it
Do what you love and you’ll never have to work a day in your life. But why is it so hard to find this? Why do I have to settle for one of my talents and not use them all?

This stopped when I was 13 years old because I moved to North Carolina and did not rejoin a dance studio. Then in high school,…

These are the 3 spring pieces that everyone should have in their spring wardrobe. They are the epitome of effortless fashion. 1.

Personally, I believe this happens more often with people who are a size 10. Why do I know this? Because I have basically been every size from 0-12…13 if you include preteen clothes.

So I put this guide together to help other ladies THRIVE as a size 10 (or whatever beautiful size you are) My most frequent problems and some solutions: 1.…

Travel Guide: Asheville, NC
