Which is … Continue reading Manifesting 2022: I Don’t Even Know What I’m Doing Anymore…

Campos Coffee does, however, have … Continue reading Coffee Crawl: Campos Coffee SLC | Salt Lake City, UT

Like a lot of people that end up traveling to all 50 United States, I didn't exactly set out to accomplish this goal. But when I realized … Continue reading State #??: Utah | Salt Lake City, UT

The older I've gotten, the more I've come to terms with the fact that I don't know a thing about adulting! Other than the fact that it's hard. And I know I'm not the only one that feels this way about inheriting back pain and going to work for 40 hours a week. One of … Continue reading Money Matters: Credit Cards, Debt, and More
