New Additions to the Spring Capsule

Is it spring yet? I’m asking for a friend. I realized today that I haven’t even cleaned the winter clothes out of my closet because well, it still feels like winter outside! I’ve been spending a lot of time putting together my spring/summer capsule because I have a pretty good feeling that we won’t have much of a spring this year and I don’t want to get bogged down shopping for one season specifically that’s too shy to really show up. We may get three good weeks and that’s about it. This year is going to be the first year…

Four Ways to Destress That Don’t Involve a Bubble Bath

Just the other day I recorded an episode for STEMulating Podcast with Dr. Qualls, where I shared how stress and a lack of cultural fit caused me to walk away from a role that could have been perfect for me.

My Street Style

  If you asked me about my street style, I’d say you’re probably going to find me wearing something with camouflage. Did you know Camo is considered a neutral? At least it should be. Navigating life is tough, and with my military family upbringing, I feel drawn to the safety of camouflage. It reminds me of my father. Finding my way hasn’t been easy though. I had a pretty simple and privileged childhood compared to others even though it still had its ups and downs.. I dealt with my fair share of bullying/teasing for my skin disorder and even went through…
