New hairdo. New pizza place. New job. Same old weather. :: Seasons may have officially changed, but it’s still 90° in Houston. So the closest I’m getting to fall attire is this sleeveless mock neck. Although my wardrobe hasn’t changed yet for the season, my hair shed several inches and I started with a new company that I’m loving. :: My man and I have begun to really love weekend day dates. We stumbled on a new pizza joint that serves the best 🤤 Detroit style pizza we’ve had so far. I’ll share it #OnTheBlog on my Weekend Wander post tomorrow.

When your month has felt as busy as New York City 🏙🍎🚕. Anyone else in the same boat?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ //⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Speaking of boats, this shot was taken on our boat ride to The Statue of Liberty. Which is something I highly suggest doing during a visit and can’t believe it took me over a handful of #NYC visits to do. I’ll have more on my City Guide blog post this weekend. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ //⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In other news, my month has been crazy, busy, and I’ve been MIA on social primarily because I started work with a new agency as their Digital Media Manager. I’m in love with the group and clients! However, at the end of the day I haven’t had motivation to plan my own content after doing it all day long for clients. Any other ladies out there been in the same boat? How do you get over it? Share the knowledge.

Visiting the 9/11 Memorial on September 11th is something I could never really put into words. I was so overwhelmed with emotions. The vastness of the space and imagining everything that once filled it and seeing all the people remembered daily by memories and their names carved in metal just hit me, like a wave crashing forcefully. It forever changed how I will feel about #PatriotDay. :: I bawled uncontrollably. I had to walk away from the memorial to collect myself. I felt ridiculous for being so outrageously emotional when I didn’t lose a loved one. Especially around so many who did. How could my emotions even amount to theirs? Then I thought deeply about it later. It hit me, it was good that I felt that way. That I could mourn the loss of thousands of Americans - humans - with so much force, was normal. That’s the way that we should all feel when a soul is taken from this earth. :: To all the families and friends of those that we lost too soon, they will never be forgotten. I will NEVER forget. Everyone loses a loved one in their lifetime. We lose a person on this beautiful planet every second of the day. It’s down right painful. Especially when they are taken for a reason that’s hard to wrap our mind around. :: I hope everyone visits somewhere or has a moment that brings them the swell of emotions I felt that day. And that they realize there’s no room in this day & age and your heart for hate. Learn to love. Mourn for others. I believe we would live in a more peaceful state if everyone could grasp those emotions.

Sometimes I wish we had a super tall building in downtown Houston that allowed me to admire the city and sunsets. Yet then I wouldn’t get that tremendous feeling every time I visit The Big Apple. :: I know some people think the Empire State Building is only worth visiting once, if that. I beg to differ. I especially enjoy going at sunset, and have always wanted to go at sunrise. :: What’s one of your favorite places in New York that you visit repetitively?

I may not be at #NYFW this year, but it sure does bring up memories of being in the city two years ago with two of my best friends. Who all is attending this year or wants to in the future? :: To be honest, when we booked the trip we didn’t even realize it would be #FashionWeek. We were just looking forward to exploring #NewYorkCity and the East Coast. :: Fast forward to present day, it’s my childhood best friends due date. Our future trips may be a tad different, but it’s not going to stop us from traveling together. I can’t wait for this next adventure @hrandallrn and to meet baby J! :: I’ve visited #NYC multiple times and I’ve thought about doing a city guide. Would y’all be interested?

Climbing through the week like....a champ. How’s your week going? I’m always more productive during a short work week. I’ve always said it’s because I’m fueled by time with family, friends, and travel. Any excuse to travel and socialize, am I right? I typically get one or more of those on holiday weekends. :: I stayed in rainy Houston this Labor Day weekend. And attended a baby shower, had time with family visiting from Holland, and caught up with friends and family. Perfect refueling weekend in my book. What fuels you? :: 📷 taken in Ly Son, Vietnam and I have a City Guide #OnTheBlog <link in bio> if you’re interested in an amazing off the beaten path beach destination
