September is the Busiest Month

September is the Busiest Month

In case you haven’t noticed, I’ve been missing from this blog lately. Life sort of just took over. The month of September has been so busy for me, hence the lack of posts. So I figured I’d recap all the happenings in my life lately in a blog post — so meta, right? Labor Day…

Things I Can’t Deal With Lately

Things I Can’t Deal With Lately

One of my favorite writers is Emma Golden, the woman behind the hilarious blog Emmas’s Thing and a contributor to Thought Catalog, Elite Daily, and more. Every week (or so), I enjoy reading the posts in her “I Can’t” series, which are posts where she complains about things she just can’t deal with. As she says…

Stop Complaining About Tourists

Stop Complaining About Tourists

If there’s one thing I’m tired of hearing people complain about, it’s tourists.

There are three generations…

On Looking Young

On Looking Young

It’s no secret that I look young. I’m naturally petite (short and thin), and I feel like this is a large reason why people always assume I’m still in college or- gasp– high school. Although it’s super annoying to get carded everywhere I go or have 18-year olds hit on me, everyone keeps telling me to…

My Top 5 Ways to Relieve Stress

My Top 5 Ways to Relieve Stress

I used to refer to myself as Stressful Sally- well, sometimes I still do. But thankfully as I’ve gotten older and wiser (stop laughing, Mom) I’ve learned how to manage my stress better. I’ve talked before on my blog about having anxiety and how it affected my health and life. Thankfully, I’m in a much…
