Happy Sunday! This weekend has been oddly productive! Not only did I spend a good 5 hours getting homework and to-dos done yesterday (after a 4 hour nap, of course), but I was awake at 7:30 this morning! Since I was feeling bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, I used the extra time for some food prep. I’m […]
Cuba 2015: Day Three and Four
Day Three- Making Friends The third day was a Saturday and it was the first day that I went out and about on my own! Well, not on my own, but not with my mom, either. My friend Eleanor (from HS), put me in contact with some Princeton students that are studying in Cuba. I […]
Cuba 2015: Day 2
[If you’re just catching up, read about day one in Cuba here!] Day Two: Exploring Havana So like I said in the last post, I woke up feeling super groggy and sleepy after a restless night in the heat. But it was nothing a little (or…a lot) of espresso couldn’t fix and some fresh air […]
Cuba 2015: Day 1
Hi friends! I’ve let a few extra days go by than I originally anticipated before getting these posts together, but I had a physics test on Wednesday morning that I studied for a total of 0 times while I was in Cuba. C’est la vie. Anyway, I had an incredible time in Cuba! I experienced […]
Breakfasts and Goodbyes.
Morning! Since I know you’ll be missing me dearly over the next 10-12 days, I wanted to pop in one more time before I leave. In case you haven’t been following my life/ blog as closely as you like to and don’t know–I will be in Cuba for 10 days from Thursday!! I leave for […]
Noshing and Snope.
I’ve been doing a ton of eating…seriously a ton. This was post first bowl of chicken-tortilla soup and pre- huge plate of various pastas, salads, and enough dessert to induce diabetes. I’ve also been doing some mediocre photo snapping. They’ve been collecting dust in my stuffed iPhone memory, so here I am, unloading them for […]
Lego World.
Russ and I had a really fun mid-week date on Thursday! Russ had 2 tickets to see “The Art of The Brick”, which is an exhibit with over 100 sculptures made entirely by LEGO bricks, by artist Nathan Sawaya. We started our date at Panera since we had a giftcard to use. I’ve only been […]
Initial Thoughts On My Fitbit
As I wrote two weeks ago, I got a new Fitbit through TD Bank’s promotion. In short, I’m loving it and it definitely motivates me to move more throughout the day. I may or may not have been doing laps while babysitting the other day just to hit 10,000… And on the BEST days, I […]
A Really Fun Weekend (+ Last Weekend!)
Hi Friends!! How was your weekend? I hope it was eggcellente and you’re ready to make this week a good one….or you’re already ready for next weekend. Either one is fine and completely understandable! **If you’ve been pining for pictures of me, this is the post for you. Hold onto your hats.** This weekend was […]
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 […]
