Unappreciated Jealousy

So I got jealous this week. For our annual family and friend river trip we went to Desolation Canyon, spending 6 days rafting and drinking with a group of people I dearly love. But when I should have been relaxing and enjoying the phone-free natural […]

One Step Back, Two Steps Forward

As 20somethings we’re no strangers to failure, often finding ourselves paralyzed by indecision or blinded by ambition. We cringe daily at what we didn’t do and what we haven’t become, what we said and what we believed and yet, as much as we stumble we […]

What Happens When Your Dream Comes True?!

The idea of a Bucket list has never really appealed to me. It seems like making a list of things to do before you die is so definitive and constricting. What happens if you die without completing it? What happens if you complete it and […]

Condition of The Month: June – Who Inspires You?

GUYS! WHEN DID JUNE HAPPEN?! I feel like I always say this but, seriously, has spring gone by too fast for anyone else? Now that June is here and my Grand Euro Adventure is coming to a close I’m really feeling the pressure of heading […]

Some people just don’t belong in your life

So about a year ago when I was planning this whole travel through Europe adventure, I invited everyone I talked with to come along. And when I say everyone, I mean everyone. In normal, everyday life this over invite plan works out well since half […]

The End of My Solo Travel

What up internet world! Sorry for neglecting you! If it makes you feel any better I’m super behind on a hundred other important things like finding lodging and transportation and a career path but I’m choosing you over all that because it only takes a […]

Thanks for existing

Hello! It feels like forever since I last posted, funny how that seems to be the theme we’ve got going lately, all of us princesses sort of putting this old blog on the back burner while real life takes all our attention. We’ve been at […]

Are Short Term Friends Worth it?

Hey kids! Turns out I’ve been wandering Europe for two weeks! Only 18 more to go! Every day so far has been nonstop packed with sightseeing or friend making so I’m appreciative to be sitting on a relaxing 9 hour bus ride from Edinburgh to […]

February COTM: Packing List

OH MAN. So I’m leaving in a few days for what can only be described as an epic adventure (5 months traveling around Europe just because I can) and while excited, I have to admit the planning process has been slightly overwhelming… and I’m almost […]

Happy, But a Little Bit Sad

Today is my last day of work. Its slow here, not much left to do now that my time is almost up. I’ve been looking forward to this day for a long time, it’s different than I expected though; I didn’t think I’d be so […]

Top Ten Musicals Every Twenty-Something Needs to See

Hey kids! Sorry for the lack of posts. We’ve been busy over the holidays, starting new jobs, planning new adventures, saying goodbye to husbands, showing off for guests. And I wish I could say we’re back for good but I know my year is starting […]
