  • Random Sides // Scenes from Portland.

    A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to spend approximately thirty-six hours in Portland, Oregon. Thirty-six hours was not nearly enough, but I have the sneaking suspicion that I’ll be back [read that in an Ahhnold voice!]… I was traveling to the Puget Sound region for work, and I had permission to extend the…

  • Random Sides // 26 Things in 26 Years: Part II.

    Today is my 26th birthday. I’m still a bit nervous about it, because it means I’m four years closer to being thirty (!!!). About a month ago, I posted my first thirteen pieces of “things I’ve learned” – aka Part I. So check it out if you like, then let’s get started with Part II! 14. Do something…

  • Random Sides // Business Cards from Social Print Studio.

    I have been wanting some business cards for quite awhile. Technically, I do not own a business. I work a 9-5 office job in the wonderful corporate world. So why do I need business cards, you ask? Because I thought they’d be useful, especially as I build this blog and interact with different people. It…

  • Random Sides // DIY: Organized Cupcake Liners.

    Since I’ve gotten into cupcake decorating last year, I have acquired quite a few cupcake liners. Here’s only part of my current collection: Yikes. As you can see, I have a lot of liners, and I’d be in denial if I said I wasn’t constantly on the hunt for more cute liners. All that being…

  • Local Noms: Blueprint Coffee + La Patisserie Chouquette.

    Since I’m a Saint Louis transplant of about two years, I am still learning my way around. These “Local Noms” posts are here to help me work my way through my never-ending STL foodie bucket list, as well as allow me to get to know this amazing city that I now call “home.” This is…

  • Random Sides // 26 Things in 26 Years: Part I.

    In exactly one month, I’ll be turning twenty-six years old. When I turned twenty-five last year, I thought I was “old.” HA! Now I’m only four years away from being thirty. *shudder* Okay, all of you over the age of thirty are probably rolling your eyes right now, so I’ll shut up. Just like last year,…

  • Random Sides // Seven Things Depression has Taught Me.

    I once rambled pretty candidly on depression and my experiences with it before on the blog [read at your own risk; it’s a doozy]. Obviously I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: depression sucks a big one. However, like any negative part of life, there are also – dare I say – positive aspects…

  • Random Sides // Tuesday Playlist: 01.06.2015.

    Happy Tuesday, errybody. {I absolutely love this print from Rifle Paper Co. In fact, I just purchased the 8×10″ sized print for my room. I think it’ll look lovely!} Although the print I’ve featured here is bright and cheery, my Tuesday playlist sure isn’t. I guess sometimes it’s just good to listen to some more…
