How to Build an Easy Charcuterie Board for a Cozy Solo Night In
Something that always feels a little luxurious and indulgent is a glass of wine and a charcuterie board. It doesn’t have to be fancy with expensive ingredients or an overflowing spread of meats and cheeses. It can be simple and still feel luxurious. I love doing this on nights when […]

Breaking Generational Curses: How I’m Becoming My Own Person
“You’re turning out just like your father.” My mother fussed as I poured a glass of wine. I was twenty-two and still living at home, and once again she was upset over something I had done that she wouldn’t have: watching TV with my boyfriend of three years, going out […]
