North Italia – KOP
This place has the best Italian food and atmosphere that you can ever want for a romantic dining experience. I went here for Valentine’s Day 2022 with my boyfriend and I am so glad we did. They made our pasta to order… HOW COOL IS THAT?!? They also offer different Italian appetizer and main courses.…

If you are ever in the Phoenixville, PA area you need to try this place! Bridge on Bistro is a bar/brunch place that in located in the center of downtown Phoenixville. I just discovered that they offer brunch options on Saturday and Sundays. They also have a full bar inside, so feel free to order…
Starbucks Baya Energy
If you are wondering, I have been loving the new Baya Energy drinks made by Starbucks. They contain antioxidant Vitamin C for immune system and 160mg of caffeine naturally derived from coffee fruits. I especially have been loving them for working from home full time. These drinks give me enough to stay productive and mindful…
Avocado toast in many ways
I have recently been on an avocado kick lately. Depending on how hungry I am, I will either have it just with avocado, or I will add one or two friend egg(s). I would highly recommend getting a loaf of Sourdough, I have noticed that sourdough bread gets crispier if you toast it in the…
Things I’ve been loving
I wanted to share all the things I have been enjoying recently including: skincare, wellness, and mental health. I have been using all these products for that last couple weeks and I can already feel a difference in how my mood is. I don’t mean to sound dramatic, but the little things that I do…
Bring out the best version of yourself

boys first beach trip ♥
This past summer — we decided we wanted to go down the the Jersey Shore. But we didn’t want to go on the normal side of the shore, we wanted to visit the bay side. We rented an Airbnb for two nights for 4th of July weekend and it was so much fun. Unfortunately the…
Being more confident in yourself
At the end of 2020 I was in a relationship that I thought was good at the start of it. However I soon realized that I was being too dependent on that other person to make me feel fully happy with my life. This was so unhealthy and I didn’t realize at the time because…
Growing your Instagram
My personal experience with Instagram has been an ongoing rollercoaster. I started a new account in November and from then to now I gained about 1,400 followers and it’s from understanding the algortithm and what kind of people to engage with. I am always looking to connect with other empowering women or bloggers all aroung…

Quintana Roo 2019
I haven’t gone on vacation with my parents in so long and for my last college spring break we decided to go to Quintana Roo. We stayed at the Grand Palladium White Sand Resort in Riviera Maya and our experience there was out of this world. We stayed for 5 days and 4 nights, which…
Pamper Yourself
Every girl likes to feel like a princess and be able to pamper themselves. I personally feel more confident when I treat myself to a nice day of manicures, eyebrows waxing, and etc. Self care is something I am a huge advocate for because I suffer from anxiety and being able to have relaxtion time…
Using Lightroom
As I started growing my own personal brand on Instagram and on my blog, I wanted to use a better editing software for my pictures. That is when I discovered Lightroom CC and I am obsessed with this app because it really lets you customize your pictures depending on what theme you are going for.…

Keep Your New iPhone XS Max Protected
If you are willing to drop $1200 on a phone, you better protect that with your life. Everyone is always dropping their phone whether it falls out your pocket, it slips out your hand when you’re getting out the car, or when you don’t have a good grip on it. Either way, dropping your iPhone…
My 4 Years in College
People can be fake: Some of the people you meet will be fake and pretend to want to be friends with you and if you find yourself needing help, they will most likely not help you. You’d think people in college are more mature and less judgmental and but that is not always applicable. I…
First tattoo
Never would I thought I would get a tattoo, but I am so happy I did. I am into dainty and delicate looking tattoos and I knew I wanted a rose because I thought the design of a rose was beautiful. The rose is consider a symbol of balance and it expresses promise, hope, and…

There are so many things to be grateful for. I am grateful for my education, my family, friends, boyfriend, dog and more importantly, my health. During this time of the year, it’s always so nice to think back and reflect on all the things you should be thankful for and cherish those amazing memories. My…
Fall Essentials
I love the fall. The air is crisp and the leaves turn orange, red, brown, and yellow. I love wearing my Timberland boots because they keep my feet warm and they are also very stylish. I was never a person who likes Timberland shoes. I thought they were too bulky and heavy. They are on…
Omega-3 is Vital
If you are a sushi or seafood lover and you haven’t tried poke bowls before, where have you been?? Poke bowls are essentially a great way to get all your nutrients in and make sure that you’re getting enough of everything for your body. I love salmon, so when I get a poke bowl it’s…
Sriracha is My Best Friend
I understand that spicy food is not for everyone and some people just can’t handle it. Sriracha sauce is a good first step to trying anything spicy. It’s not too spicy where your tongue will be burning, but it definitely adds a kick to any food. At first when I discovered this I was a…
Thick Bread Makes a Difference
Notice how the bread is thicker than normal bread that you can get from any grocery store. Well, it’s because it is significantly thicker. I got this bread from this bakery called Paris Baguette and they have many other locations too. This bakery is a Korean bakery where they make a bunch of other really…
Meal Prep is Key!
I’m always running out the door for work or for classes and I never have enough time in between classes to eat a proper meal. Meal prepping before your week starts is so helpful because all you have to do is reheat the food that you’ve already prepared. Simple. Some of my go-to foods to…
A Must Have!
I’m not lying when I say this seasoning is the best thing in the entire world. You can literally put it on anything. Chicken, avocado toast, scrambled eggs, salads, roasted vegetables and so much more! Trader Joe’s you have done it again, and this has definitely been my third bottle already this last year. Trust…
Take Me Back to Disney
Earlier this summer, I went to Disney with my boyfriend. It was such an amazing time and because I paid for it myself it made it all the more rewarding. We had a whole itinerary for each day we were there and everyday was spent walking A LOT and eating amazing food. Some of my…
Avocado Toast with Lox
I just love avocado toast so much. I’m telling you, everyone needs to try this at least once in their life and you won’t be sorry. The smoked salmon part is optional, but I definitely put a generous amount because it adds more flavor and I enjoy the texture. With your bread there are many…
Dessert Without the Guilt
Many people have cravings for sweets but sometimes once you eat a chocolate bar or a snickers bar, you feel like garbage. Chocolate is something that some people can keep eating and eating and not realize that they’ve finished a whole box of Lindor truffles. Acai bowls are pretty trendy right now, but who wants…
Better than a Pop-Tart for Breakfast!
As a college student it’s hard to eat healthy especially when you only have so much money to spend. It’s so easy to give up and go the dining hall because it’s more convenient, but at the end of the day you still don’t know what’s going into your food. If you make your own…
