Local Loves: Cinnamon Rainbows Surf Co.

A fun little fact about me that not many people know- I can surf. Please note, I didn’t say I can surf well (not by a long shot) but I’m able to occasionally stand up on a board and can ride a little wave without injuring myself. I’ve never had the opportunity to try bigger, […]

OOTD: Tropicana

One of my favorite things about living in New England is having different seasons (although I’ve never really made an earnest attempt to hide my hatred for the Winter- but it’s only because I really dislike being uncomfortably cold and shoveling snow) and I tend to fully commit to celebrating each one- be it with […]

Summer Scoops: One-Ingredient Watermelon Sorbet

I know that this upcoming Fourth of July isn’t going to be like anything we’ve grown used to in terms of celebrations here in the States. Large cookouts/BBQs, packed pool parties, busy beach days, and crowded fireworks displays are pretty much cancelled this year in states that are taking the COVID-19 pandemic seriously- but that […]

Father’s Day, Friendships and Therapy Sessions

I’ve always been very open when discussing past trauma or grief- particularly when it comes to the unexpected death of my dad- which I had been present for and which affected me deeply. July marks eight years since his passing- and although I’ve since worked through the anxiety and bouts of depression that had developed […]

OOTD: Summertime Pin-Up

For as long as I can remember, I’ve gravitated towards what could be considered vintage or retro fashion when selecting pieces for my wardrobe- be it a brightly colored 1950s-style swing dress or a daring jumpsuit with a plunging neckline straight out of the 1970s. My taste spans across numerous decades and is inspired by […]
