Sluttified?

I’ve officially been sluttified! By far, the most delicious vegan burger I’ve ever had in my life. Slutty Vegan is located in Atlanta, Georgia and they’re open Tuesday through Saturday. This proud black owned business has become one of the trendiest food stops in Atlanta and business is booming! A few months ago while scrolling on Instagram, I came across their account and knew I had to give their food a try. Slutty Vegan has amazing social media marketing skills because I wa

Is GymShark Worth the Hype?

I’m always in the market for new gym clothes, because honestly it’s one of my motivators that helps me get my butt to the gym. You know what they say "look good, feel good" and whenever my gym clothes match, I feel like I’m going to have one hell of a workout! So you can imagine my excitement when I found out Gymshark was having a BLOWOUT SALE on all of their workout clothes. A quick background on the brand, Gymshark is a UK fitness apparel company that was founded in 2012 an

The Vert Backpack

Am I the only one that loves a great library? I feel like libraries are so underrated. They’re literally free offices. I mean… technically they don’t have all the perks (like free coffee), but you get what I mean. Whenever I have time off, my favorite thing to do is pack my day in a bag and head out to my favorite library. This one’s for my locals: I live close to Boston, so I usually go to the Boston Public Library over on Boylston Street. The McKim Building Bates Hall is my

Upscale Camping Meets Tiny Living

You ever feel like you need space and limited distraction? That’s exactly how I felt going into the second half of the year. I was winded by July! I felt like I needed to go somewhere to clear my headspace and plan for the rest of the year. For the 4th of July, I intended to do just that! Turns out, gilt.com was having a deal on the Getaway house. I paid $99 and received $150 worth of coupons. After I booked the deal, I awaited my stay at the tiny house. I was excited to go o

Bosses! I have the perfect podcast for you.

“Hashtags and Stilettos” is a podcast by Sakita Holley. I just recently found her podcast on apple’s podcast app, so I cannot say I’ve been listening for years. What I can say is that, in the time I have been listening, I’ve been binging (as we all do when we find something we love). Sakita Holley is the founder and CEO of House of Success Public Relations and the editor of hashtagsandstilettos.com. On her podcast she gives advice on PR, business, and entrepreneurship. Sakita

Wagamama + Gaz Oakley’s “Avant Gard’n

I’m so tired of going to restaurants only to find out that the only vegan options are fries or a salad. I used to feel like it was hard to find great vegan dishes, but times are changing and I’m grateful! I’ve been following Gaz Oakley on YouTube since I decided to go plant-based. His cooking videos made me so excited to make something in the kitchen. While watching his videos, I came across his famous vegan eggs. I was intrigued and started making a list of the things I need

The Hot New Micro Trip Trend!

What is a Micro Trip? I’d like to think of a micro trip as the best of both worlds. They are essentially very short trips (hence, micro) that can last anywhere from one to three days, and are usually done on your day(s) off. The great thing about them is that you can experience a different location without having to take tons of days off from work. It’s important to note that in order for a micro trip to be successful, you have to be well organized. You must remember you’re o

Fave apps/websites for travel discounts

Hopper: Let me just start out by saying that I LOVE Hopper. It has saved me a ton of money! The reason why Hopper is so amazing is because it predicts when you should book your flights and hotels at a much cheaper price. It notifies you when prices drop or rise so that you can instantly book your travel on the app. Scotts Cheap Flights: One day I stumbled across Scotts Cheap Flights on Twitter and I was amazed at the cheap flights leaving from my home city (BOS) so I instantl

¿Qué vola?

Cuba: What You Need to Know Cuba is a beautiful “old-timey” travel destination spot that’ll humble you quickly. Yes, the charming buildings and old Chevrolets are beautiful in pictures (and in person), but please do your research and learn about Cuba’s history and culture before visiting. That being said, Cuba is one of the safest places I have ever traveled to. I would go back in a heartbeat. In fact, I’m going to add that if you’re interested in solo travel, but you’re not
