Gooooood Morning, Sunshines! Here I am, once again, blogging from a cafe near my house. It’s called Martina Cocina and it has the perfect touristy-local vibe. Also their wifi is strong and they give these little butter cookies with their coffee. Doesn’t it look warm and inviting? I tried to get up early (and failed-ish. […]
Random Madrid Musings
Good Morning (if you’re in the US) and Good Afternoon (if you’re in Madrid!), I’m taking a little break from piso-hunting to chat about nothing really. I’m actually waiting for my roommate to leave so that I can make calls to different apartment owners. She speaks beautiful, fluent Spanish and I’m too self-conscious to make […]

Hey! Happy [almost] holiday weekend! Do you have plans for the 4th? I don’t!! And I’m perfectly fine with that! I’ll find something to do 🙂 Anyways, I have been busy busy busy around here, between finishing up my calculus class (I PASSED!!!!!), to working at a couple different jobs most days of the week, […]

Friday Favorites 1/30/2015
1. Old Navy Clearance and Activewear Sale I was in desperate need for some new workout clothes. Running in freezing weather in knee-length capris, working out in old, stained tanks, and 3 sports bras. I sort of rectified the situation by taking advantage of Old Navy’s active wear sale and was able to pick up […]

Making Homemade Pasta
…is SO much easier than you could ever imagine. Dare I say it’s as easy as opening a box and pouring it into boiling water? Well…maybe it’s not as easy, but takes about the same amount of time since fresh pasta cooks for a couple minutes compared to boxed pasta at 10+ minutes. With my […]
Holiday Lately.
The holidays have come and gone and I’ve done a pretty awful job of documenting any of it here. We did a lot of fun things during this break, so I really want to make sure I get it all here before I forget. With that being said… Christmas: As per tradition, we had a […]
Spicy Latin Playlist Numero Uno.
I wrote this post a long time ago and have had it saved in my drafts, but in light of the news that the United States has normalized relations with Cuba, I figured no better time than now to share this! You better start dancing so you’ll be ready for your upcoming trips to CUBA! […]
