Hey, Readers.


My mother and I packed up my freshman year New North (the most lit dorm) room on the 10th, said goodbye to my best friends on the 11th, and then left for our dope LA to San Fran trip that lasts from the 11th-18th, after which I'll go to D.C. and then to my Fashion Week internship (May 25-August 5).


Our first stop was Santa Barbara. It's my favorite town north of L.A.- so chill, beautiful, and funky. Here are the 7 best things to do while you're in town... DM me about what you think is fun to do in SB, or if you agree with me, send me your favorite aspects of the activities we did!


1. Take a stroll at Stearns Wharf

Beautiful pierside views of the beach, boats, and palm trees

2. Shopping on State Street.

Vintage like Punch & the Closet, thrift like Crossroads, or even contemporary, like Saks Off Fifth, Free People, Anthropologie, Lululemon, and more of my favorites.

3. Have a dope blended iced mocha latte at Joe's

It's famous for it. Come on. You gotta try.

4. Stay at a breathtaking resort and actually relax.

Do not disturb! I am at the Belmond El Encanto enjoying life!!!

5. See a movie at their cute little theater downtown.


Metro 4 is lit.

6. Go to the County Courthouse.

You have 360 views of all of Santa Barbara.

7. Look at the beautiful flowers & views at Shoreline Park.


The scenery is reminiscent of the coastal scenes from one of my favorite shows, Big Little Lies (if you haven't seen it, well, now you have to)

Mother-daughter road trips are actually so fun. You learn a lot about your mom from seeing new sides of her, even if you two know each other well/are close. Luckily my mom and I are close and she's pretty mellow, so it's easy to spend a lot of time with her. I've had the best time on this road trip, and can't wait for more fun for the rest of the week! So happy I go to college in California... It's so beautiful and fun to explore.


Drive On,

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
