Paris 2025 – The Roundup
I almost had a day 4 in Paris… Almost! My flight was in the morning, so I got up pretty early. As one does, I immediately checked my phone and saw… My flight was cancelled! I would have totally taken a flight in the evening to get myself a bonus day… But only my flight…

Paris 2025 – Day 3 | The Wanderer Series
We made it to the final day! Yes, this trip was that quick. My flight was early the next morning. So I started early and did as much as I could. I made a reservation at this spot called Cafe Pli. I found it on TikTok. It’s a place where you can write a letter…

Paris 2025 – Day 2 | The Wanderer Series
Day 2 was one of my 2 full days for this trip. Did I tell you this trip was just a long weekend? A long weekend in Paris is never enough, but a weekend in Paris is a dream. I wanted to ease into the day, have a nice lil breakfast, and enjoy the beautiful…

Paris 2025 – Day 1 | The Wanderer Series
This trip was meant for my cousin so she could have her ‘Emily in Paris’ moment. Otherwise, I was totally ‘planning’ to find myself in Paris every 5 years, since that has been the pattern. Unfortunately, she wasn’t able to go, so it ended up being a last-minute solo trip. And it was a great…

2025 Quarterly Report #3
Look who’s off her game again… Yep, it’s me! Been in a bit of a hermit… a wandering hermit mode lately. I have a huge backlog of restaurants I’ve tried, but I haven’t been in the mood to write about them lately. Thinking about doing some posts on my recent travels. So in the meantime,…

Seattle | The Wanderer Series
Years ago, I found a wine company called Chateau Ste. Michelle. It’s available at any grocery store. With my namesake and Parisian flair, it really made an impression on me. And plus, I enjoyed the wine! I found out that the winery is based right outside of Seattle. So for years, I’ve thought about doing…

2025 Quarterly Report #2
Time for a personal post. We’re at the end of June… I know most people say it about kids, but I truly relate to it personally… That saying ‘the days are long, but the years are short…’ I can’t believe we’re already halfway through the year. Yet I struggle to get through most days. How…

2025 Quarterly Report #1
Halfway through April, we’re well into 2025. If you are following along, I didn’t have the same ‘thriving’ optimism I had going into 2024, which didn’t survive much into 2024 anyways. 2025 has already proven to be… Chaotic, just on a world level. I mainly wanted to focus on building solid foundations for myself. Repeat…

Mardi Gras Roundup | Universal Orlando
By the time this is out there’s only one more week left of Universal’s Mardi Gras. I realized it’s probably been two years since I’ve been to Universal. When I first moved down to Orlando, over a decade ago, I ended up getting the annual pass because of Mardi Gras. I wanted to go to…

2025: Radically, Selfishly, Consistent.
It’s that time of year… I did a recap on the last post about how I didn’t necessarily ‘thrive’ this past year. Just because I don’t feel as accomplished as I’d hoped, all in all, I survived. And I’m still here, making my goals for the upcoming year… So if you’re interested in this forever…

She Strived to Thrive… And Barely Survived.
And just like that… Another year has flown by. What a year it has been. Can’t say this year went as I had hoped or planned. I am forever grateful for the blessings and the comfort I continue to live in. Yet… I am still waiting for things to finally click into place. Let’s get…
