Mimosas? Check. Buttered croissants and bagels? Check. Preppy attire? Check! By the looks of it, an outsider would have thought the pre-party at my apartment was for Nashville’s popular Steeplechase event held each Spring. Not this morning.

I never thought it could

According to Merriam-Webster, a doughnut is “a small usually ring-shaped cake fried in fat.” Well, I hate to break it to them, but that definition does not give that fine product justice. Growing up, I always knew following the lower school 3:10pm bell ringing would lead to an amazing afternoon snack. Usually we hit up

What image comes into your mind when someone says the city: Palm Beach? On a recent phone call, my mom told me that we would be spending the holiday Easter weekend at that very destination. Two images popped into my head: old money and fuddy-duddy. I couldn’t have been more incorrect with this vision! Palm

Growing up, I’ve always had a close relationship with my parents. I’m not closer to one parent over the other, but I do have a unique relationship with them both. I value my mother’s opinion on always looking like a lady, portraying correct manners, doing the right thing…along with many more valuable suggestions. But my

It’s easy to squeeze in a quick workout in a speedy schedule, especially with the frequent 45 minute SoulCycle classes or even just staying for one hour of a Bikram Yoga class, but even if you aren’t it is ultra important to keep your body well-nourished. Think of your body as a car – if
