Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and since it falls on a Saturday this year… we’re making it a full weekend of romance. 💘 From dreamy spa dates to skyline views and candlelit concerts, here are the most romantic things to do in Chicago for Valentine’s Day weekend.

My skin has been doing the most lately. Stress is definitely the main culprit, paired with the fact that I’ve always had a love-hate relationship with my skin. But…….recently, it's been demanding more attention think back to teenage Proactiv-era levels of effort 😂. These are the products currently holding me (and my skin) together! Keeping the breakouts in check and me from breaking down lol! 😭

If you know me, you know I love a good cocktail, delicious bites, and an even better deal. And honestly, there’s no better way to unwind than a solid happy hour. Here’s my personal round-up of the best happy hour spots I’ve tried (and loved) in Chicago so far!

I was so inspired to create this list by my fave TikTok girlie, Dorissa Wright! She has an entire 'Becoming' series all about becoming that girl the dream version of yourself you’ve imagined since you were little. I’ve been on my own 'becoming' journey for about 3 years now, and these are the things I do (and consume) to keep evolving, loving, and dreaming along the way. Consider this your soft girl era starter pack 💖✨

After a few cruises (and a couple rookie mistakes), I’ve finally nailed down the ultimate list of must-haves to bring onboard. From smart travel essentials to beach-day staples and those little lifesavers you didn’t know you needed—these are the items I never cruise without. Whether it’s your first time setting sail or you're a seasoned cruiser, this list will keep you comfy, organized, and 100% prepared. Bon voyage! 🌊

Listen, I love Skims just as much as the next girl, but my bank account? She’s not always on the same page. While I continue manifesting a Skims collab (because, Kim, call me!), I’ve found some amazing alternatives that give the same sleek, snatched, and buttery-soft vibes without the luxury price tag. From cozy lounge sets to sculpting bodysuits, these pieces will have you looking expensive on a budget. Trust me, your closet (and your wallet) will thank you!

I feel the seasonal depression slowly lifting so to celebrate I've curated a fun and girly list of things to do with your girlfriends during the spring!

My boyfriend and I had just two days in the Big Apple, but it was easily the most fun I’ve ever had in NYC! If you’re short on time but want to make the most of your trip, here are my top recommendations for an unforgettable visit.
