Apple Pie Martini
The perfect drink to get you in the fall spirit Fall is right around the corner, and what better way to get in the spirit than a fall-inspired apple pie martini? I recently came across the new Bailey’s Apple Pie liqueur, and I knew I had to try it. There was only one problem–this is brand new, and there were zero recipes to try. This led to an evening of test tasting with my sisters. After much trial and error, this was hands down the best. Ingredients 1.5 oz Bailey’s Apple Pie Liqueur 1.5 oz caramel vodka 4.5 oz apple cider Sprinkle of cinnamon Caramel sauce Apple slice for garnish…

My Poshmark Side Hustle
How I made over $1,000 on Poshmark by cleaning out my closet I have had a Poshmark account for over three years, but it wasn’t until the last year or so that I actually started making sales. For those of you who don’t know what Poshmark is, it’s a marketplace where people can sell both new and used items they no longer want. About a year ago, I was moving out of my apartment, and I really needed to get rid things that I was no longer wearing. I was shocked when I found myself wanting to get rid of items that still had the tags on it. I mean,…

My First Spin Class
I know what you’re probably thinking: it’s 2020, how are you just now taking a spin class? Well, I’ll tell you, it hasn’t been easy to avoid it all these years (kidding). Over the years, I have done my fair share of group fitness classes, but for some reason, spin has always eluded me. It wasn’t until I moved into my new apartment building that I really started getting into the idea of attending a spin class. Enter: Peloton. My building has two pelotons in the apartment gym, and I quickly became addicted. It was nice for me, because it wasn’t intimidating attending an on-demand class where no one can…

What to Discuss Before Moving in with your Boyfriend
Before I dive in, I want to start by saying, moving in with your boyfriend is a BIG step, and as big as it is, it’s also really exciting! In the midst of the excitement, it’s easy to forget about the important things you need to discuss and plan for before move-in day arrives. Set yourself up for success before the big day, and give it some thought. As a bit of a background, about a year ago, my boyfriend was offered a job in Massachusetts–we were currently living separately in Pennsylvania. Having dated for 2 years at that point, we gave it a lot of thought and discussion and…

4th of July Packing List
It’s summer time! Which means one thing: 4th of July is right around the corner. When I say I love the 4th, I LOVE the 4th. It’s always been a fun week for me because my birthday is a few days after, so it’s a great time to take off work, reset, and enjoy some time with friends and family. This year is no different. For the last 5 years of so, it’s been a tradition to head down to the Jersey shore for a few days and relax on the beach before celebrating with my family in Pennsylvania. The hardest part for me has always been packing. How do…
