Mom Visit & New York City

Hi friends! Last week was my spring break (spring break, woohoo!!), but I did not spend mine traveling to a warmer climate to sip Pina Coladas by the pool, I did something even better than that.

Happy’s 4th Birthday

FOMO/FOBI

Hi friends! This week I thought I would talk about something that I think a lot of people struggle with, especially now that a lot of places are coming out of lockdown and people are starting to socialize more.

My Journey to Getting Diagnosed with Hypothyroidism

Hi everyone! This post is going to be recounting how I got diagnosed with hypothyroidism. When I think back on it, I probably felt the earliest symptoms of my illness back in 2014/2015.
