Well it may only be Wednesday, but I’m dreaming about the weekend already!  Today’s Bestie Finds includes some staples for a city weekend getaway.  I am incredibly blessed to live outside New York City, and I try to take advantage of it whenever I can.  Whether it’s a day in the city with my Besties […]

Bestie confession:  Some people are hard to love.  Right?  In just the time it took you to read these first few sentences, there may already be a person (or people) springing to your mind.  A person who you struggle to show love or kindness to.  Or maybe a person who has been unkind to you […]

Here’s to a brand new week, Besties!  Today we are jumping in with a healthy eating post that I hope you’ll find as helpful as I do.  Most of you probably know that foods high in fiber are essential for our bodies’ wellness.  There are lots of reasons why, but my faves are heart health, […]

And just like that, it’s the weekend again! Can I get an Amen?!

One of the things that made me finally start a blog (after thinking about it forever) was the excitement I felt about being able to discuss every part of self care – body, mind, soul, fun (because hello, self care should be!), and friendship/relationships.  Some of these topics are easier to discuss than others because I […]

Welcome to another week, Besties!  I hope you had a fabulous weekend.  Mine was busy but I took a much needed social media hiatus yesterday as well as a long nap and it was just what the doctor ordered.  Whoever started the #selfcaresunday trend, I heart you oh so much! Speaking of what the doctor […]

Welcome to Friday, Besties!  So excited for a fun weekend ahead which includes encouraging time with some of my Besties, church, a dinner party, and hanging out with some of the high school friends I volunteer with.  Also gonna have some family time so it’s sure to be a doozy, but don’t you worry, I’ve […]
