Blooming through experience. Memories through adventure.
Scotland is already a beautiful country, but the crisp feeling in the air as the leaves begin to change color enhances everything. October 2021 was my first full month living in Scotland, and it did not disappoint. It was full of beautiful scenery, afternoons in coffee shops, and nights with friends. Here are some highlights: [...]
Early September 2021, I packed my favorite clothes, photos, and books (on my TBR list), said goodbye to my cats (and my family) and moved halfway around the world. From Missouri, USA all the way to Scotland. I'm attending the University of Stirling for a year-long postgraduate program in Publishing. With my program set to [...]
This summer has been a very busy one! The first part of this blog post, where I talk about my trips to South Carolina and Colorado, can be found here. Following these short trips, I still had a few more fun weekend adventures planned. Between these, I continued working 50 hour-weeks, filling my time off [...]

To say I've been busy this summer is an understatement. 20 hours a week at my unpaid internship, along with my two other jobs of 30-35 hours a week. I'm exhausted all the time, and I've only been getting one day off a week (Sunday). This leaves Sunday as my only day to do fun [...]
This weekend, I reached the next level in veganism and attended my first vegan festival! I dragged my husband and two of our friends to Kansas City early Sunday morning to the festival hosted by VegLifeKC and it was so much fun! Once we got into the festival, which had free admission, we saw a [...]
