I’ve been busy lately writing not only for Girl About Town, but also for Dayton Local and The Glossy Pages. Dayton and beauty are two of my favorite things so it’s been thrilling writing for blogs that feel that way, too! It’s easy to get all this done with Julia keeping [...]
You know those terrible, often harassing, email forwards so popular in the early 2000s? Well a lot of older people still circulate the same old emails with poor graphics and all. I received one not too long ago that had some actual wisdom (you know, once you get past the .gif of a [...]
When I was in 9th grade, I started reading poetry (specifically the Romantics – Keats, Byron, Shelley, etc.) and fell head over heels for the stuff. Over the years my interest wanes and then for no reason at all I’ll pick it back up again. I’m currently on another poetry kick and was [...]
A while back, I read a great quote on swissmiss that described the blogging experience as a visit to someone else’s breakfast table:

I am so happy that someone out there thought of this. These little kitten rock stars of The Kitten Covers really brighten up my morning.
I found this around the internet (which is code for “I forget where this came from, yes I feel guilty for not writing it down”) – it’s perfectly simple and so true. Steve Jobs was a fountain of good advice.
My sister made this from one of my previous posts and it’s making its way around the internet. I love it! Visit her blog, too.

Here’s a glimpse of the simple, [...]
Welcome!
I love Dayton, I've lived here for all of my 26 years and don't plan on settling anywhere else.
