The Real Deal

In case you didn’t know, my family and I (well, mainly my mom and I) are huge Disney fans. We love Disney World and try and go as often as we can. I also used to exclusively watch Disney Channel as a kid, and I have been missing so many classic Disney movies that have entered the Vault. Enter, Disney+. Ever since the release date, I had been begging my mom to get it, and the only response I was getting was “Eventually”. Finally, after it had been out for about two weeks, my wonderful mother made the purchase. We are all so impressed with the service and the amount of movies and shows that are available. My family and I watch something together from Disney+ every single night, and my brother is even excited about it so he can binge all of the Marvel movies. With the incredibly large amount of content available on Disney+, it’s so hard to figure out what exactly to start with. If I shared my list of what I want to watch on Disney+, we would be here forever (it’s 4 pages single-spa...

After months (not even joking, it’s been months) of wanting to try a spin class, I bit the bullet and booked a class for yesterday! I’ve seen so much hype from so many people both in real life and on social media and YouTube. I was worried it would be too hard, it would be too awkward, and that I just wouldn’t know how to do it. My fun fact I tell people is that I never even learned how to ride a bike! Obviously the spin bikes don’t go anywhere, but I was worried that it would feel too foreign or weird to me and that I would make a fool of myself in class. I had also read a lot of reviews that you won’t get the hang of it for four or five classes, and that really intimidated me. I didn’t want to go to a work out class where I would be bad no matter what. I finally decided to try spin because the studio closest to me, MO Cycle Studio, has classes for $12, which is one of the cheapest I have ever seen. It’s also close to home, so it wouldn’t be a long drive, and the class schedule a...

I always love the start of a new month. Although I know you don’t have to wait for a new month or year to start acting on goals, it gives me a good timeline to make sure all of my ducks are in a row so that I can hit the ground running on the first of the month. So without further ado, here are a few things that I have been wanting to accomplish as we get into November.                       TRY A CYCLING CLASS // I’ve always wanted to try cycling, but there’s no Soul Cycle in St. Louis and we have a CycleBar, but neither of them are close to where I live. However, I recently discovered a new studio that is literally 10 minutes from my house, and is not incredibly expensive for memberships or bulk classes. I’ve always thought about trying it out, but never made the jump to do so. So, for November, I want to take my first cycling class. I like work out classes so much better than working out at home or at the gym because...

I used to to favorites posts every month, but I've been slacking on those kind of recently.  So, since it's been awhile since I've updated you on what I've been loving lately, here is a large list of what I am currently loving right now! Apple Watch Nylon Sport Loop // I've been looking for a new Apple Watch band for awhile.  The silicone band that my watch came with was getting really dirty and gross, and I bought a magnetic band last year which I liked, but the magnet would get stuck on random objects which would result in my band loosening or picking up other metal objects along the way.  One of my friends from work had this nylon Apple Watch band which is pretty much what I had been looking for!  It's super affordable, stylish and cute, and can be worn to work out and for everyday use.  The only down side is that it's probably not the best if you like to wear your watch when you swim, but I usually take mine off when I go swimming so that wasn...

It is officially September, which means the end of one playlist, and the beginning of another!  My summer playlist isn't super long or updated because I was really into podcasts and mainly listened to those instead of music.  So this may not be my best playlist, but I'm still going to share it!  This past week, I've really been in a music mood more than a podcast mood so my Fall Playlist is gonna be great, just saying. Anyways, here's what I've been listening to the past few months! TRUTH HURTS // LIZZO GIRL // MARREN MORRIS MISS ME MORE // KELSEA BALLERINI KEEPING YOUR HEAD UP // BIRDY UCLA // RL GRIME, 24 HOURS EASIER // 5 SECONDS OF SUMMER SIXTEEN // THOMAS RHETT HEAVEN // AVICII GLORIA // LAURA BRANIGAN TIME WAITS FOR NO ONE // FREDDIE MERCURY SOUTH OF THE BORDER // ED SHEERAN, CAMILA CABELLO, CARDI B BAD GUY (WITH JUSTIN BIEBER) // BILLIE EILISH, JUSTIN BIEBER ANTISOCIAL (WITH TRAVIS SCOTT) // ED SHEERAN, TRAVIS SCOTT THING FOR...

After a long summer of job searching, and trying to figure out what my next step is, I have finally landed a full time internship!  I have been working there for about two and a half weeks, and I am absolutely loving it!  I truly know that this was the right industry for me!  My favorite daily newsletter, The Newsette, does a series called "What She Does" so others can gain insight into different jobs and roles that people have, so I thought that answering those questions would let you all know a little bit more about where I am heading with this next step in my life. Age:  22 City:  St. Louis Industry:  Sports/Entertainment Job Title:  Event Develop and Marketing Intern What does your job title mean? As an intern, I really try and help anyone with any project that they may need my help on, but I mainly help with research, communication with companies, emails. and information organization with all of the different events that our company he...

It is so  crazy to me that it is August right now!  My family and I leave next weekend to drop my brother off for his sophomore year of college.  This summer has flown by, and it still hasn't sunk in that I will not be going back to school this year.  Back to school is something that I have known pretty much my whole life.  I do start an internship next week (woohoo, making big girl moves over here!) so my "summer break" is coming to an end, although it will not end in the beginning of a school year, like every other summer has. So, in order to contribute to back to school season, I decided to talk about the ten things that I wish I knew before college.  Most of these things I am actually happy that I learned during college because they helped to shape me into the person I am today.  But it also would have meant a lot to me if someone had given me this advice as well.  So, here are 10 things I wish I knew before college! ONE // YOU DON'T NE...
