How to Pack for a Summer in France

It’s only three months, but at the same time, it’s three freakin’ months! Packing for a summer abroad can be both harder and easier than just a week-long vacation. What can I buy once I arrive? What can I not live without for three months? Will I even know where to buy nail polish remover once I get there? The most important thing is to start early so you have time to make several trips to the store and figure out what can stay and what can go. I’m living in France this summer and want to share how...

6 Museums to Visit in Los Angeles

Los Angeles: Home of Hollywood, City of Stars, La La Land. L.A. is a city I fall more in love with every time I visit.

Being a type A-planner personality (I promise I’m a fun person some of the time), I’m used to anticipating trips long in advance.

A Trip to Mauhaus Cat Cafe

After parking on a quiet street in the middle of the neighborhood, I walked to the door. I’d been waiting for this moment for so long. Finally, I was back in St. Louis, and I had a chance to visit Mauhaus Cat Cafe. Oh, yeah, you read that right. Coffee AND cats all in the same room, baby. And it was every bit as wonderful as you’d think. Food and drink I was greeted by a countertop with a huge chalkboard menu behind it and a bar top with a large glass window looking into the cats’ playroom. Before...
