If the month of February had a color palette, I think we can all agree it’d be 50 shades of red…the color of love. Walk into any store leading up to Valentine’s Day, and you’re bombarded with red decor galore and heart-shaped versions of everything from candy and cookies (of course) to makeup (sure) to…
Happy New Year! Hard to believe it’s already February, and I’m just now sitting down to reflect on my 2022. It’s my own fault, of course…there’s always something happening somewhere in NYC, and it’s hard not to get caught up in the constant FOMO of it all. So this year, one of my goals is…
Check it out! Went for something new and decided to create a video entry this time from my new Austin apartment. Enjoy! My First Vlog!
As y’all know, I’d been faithfully following the keto diet for more than a year before I decided it was time to move back to Texas. When I made that decision, I realized there were so many things in NYC that I hadn’t tried and obviously needed to eat them all before I left. So,…

As I mentioned, I lost 100+ pounds back in 2013. After losing that much weight and not falling into my own personal romantic comedy (because I’m pretty sure that’s what was supposed to happen), maintaining the weight loss became harder and harder for me. Eating habits have so little to do with the actual food…
One of my last mornings at my previous job here in NYC, I was confronted with a strange situation, the likes of which I hadn’t witnessed first-hand since probably elementary school. One of the team members brought donuts for the team as a celebratory gesture – it was one of the last works days before…
Hello. My name is Jaime, and I’m a recovering destination addict. For those of you not familiar with this term, it means you ‘ll find me in search of the “next big thing” that’s going to make the jagged puzzle pieces of my life magically and effortlessly fall into place. I’ll be able to enjoy…
Hello, I'm so glad you're here! Let me bring you up to speed… While he hasn’t the faintest clue I exist, Jason Bateman (the absolute best actor ever to grace us with his presence, more on that later) is responsible for a major turning point in my life. In 2014, I’d spent the last year…
