For work at Bruja’s Bakery, this week is always, undoubtably, the busiest week of the year. In the past, it has felt overwhelming, but this year, I am not actually working while trying to make a billion pies before and after work. Of course, I have offered to make more pies than last year, but it […]
It completely blows my mind that Thanksgiving is already upon us! It was just summer, wasn’t it, and here we are- preparing for a bunch of people to descend on the piso for a big Friendsgiving. Thanksgiving is, without a doubt, my favorite holiday of the year. Not only for the food, but for that […]

So, let’s make it all better and show you what my food and workouts have been looking like lately (and by lately, […]
Hello and Happy FRIDAY! Friday’s just never, ever get old, do they? Today is my last day of work with CIEE and then I have some fun plans on the schedule for this weekend, including lots of pool time and hopefully a mini 4th of July celebration on Saturday. Whoever and wherever you are, I […]
La Musa de Espronceda is a bar in Madrid that, even if you are looking for it, you will literally walk right past it. It has a dark exterior with dark windows that make it look closed, even if it’s open, but if you do head inside of La Musa de Espronceda, what you will […]
