This Thanksgiving was my first big holiday being away from my family and I was not a fan, but other than that very big factor, it was one of my favorite Thanksgivings. I was still lucky enough to spend it with Land and we got to celebrate our 1 whole year of knowing each other. We … More Thanksgiving Weekend in Washington DC
Helloooooo, friends and Happy October – I say this because, if you haven’t noticed, I have been in a “what is blogging anyway” mood for the past month and have completely neglected this little site! It happens. My sister visited me this weekend so I put together some of my favorite pictures from her trip. I … More Fall Adventures in New York & Washington DC
Whelp, it’s Wednesday and I am still dreaming of the weekend. Not because it was a 3 day weekend (although that was nice), but because Orlando came to adventure with me and I’d been waiting for that for weeks! Seeing each other about once a month really really sucks, but we’ve gotten some pretty A+ … More Our Weekend in DC
I went to the Farmer’s Market at Eastern Market today because in addition to the usual South Hall Market, there’s an outdoor market put on by local artists and jewelers that only happens on Saturdays and Sundays. I felt so lame to have loved it so much. But there was fruit and coffee and flowers … More A Saturday At Eastern Market
2 years later and I’m back! Last week I moved across the country with 2 suitcases and a carry-on. I spent my first 2 days here in DC/Virginia getting (almost) settled in my apartment, so last Friday I went and explored a little. I made it the whole evening with only one metro mishap ;) … More My First Week In DC
My last week in DC was a hectic one for many reasons, but we tried to get in as many last-minute things we hadn’t done yet as we could. I wish I had known about them before so I could have enjoyed them longer! But I’m here so you don’t make the same mistake ;) … More Reminiscing: DC highlights
My 10 week internship at the U.S. House of Representative in DC is complete and it’s only a matter of time before I start getting nostalgic for walking to the subway every morning in my flats and pencil skirt listening to the Workday Pop playlist on Spotify. For now, I’m okay with sitting in my … More I survived the intership
The 10 weeks of my summer internship are almost over!! Before I go back to California, I want to be sure I’ve taken the time to fully process everything it has taught me. An experience like this is invaluable and the things that just being around the staff alone has taught me are lessons that … More Surviving the Internship: Week 9
What’d you think of that title? One of the best things about living in the city (versus places like Palms Springs,where I’m from) is the normalcy of eating out. It’s so fun to try all the new food places in your neighborhood! There are so many places to eat within a mile of you at … More Washington DC: how to eat here
Now that I’ve officially been here and exploring for a month, I thought I’d put together like a highlight reel? lol enjoy! JAZZ IN THE GARDEN Every Friday tons of people sit all around the National Sculpture Gallery and listen to different jazz bands play/drink sangria. Great time great time. THE NATIONAL ART GALLERY This … More 1 month in DC
