LSC After Dark: Science Speakeasy Recap
The latest LSC After Dark party was a hit! This was the 4th event at Liberty Science Center and probably my favorite theme. “Science Speakeasy” took us all back to the 1920s.

Social Media Tips: Twitter 101
I started using Twitter back in 2010. I was fourteen, so it’s safe to assume that my tweets were not substantial. What else would you expect from a 14-year-old’s tweets than angst and spammed tweet to singers? I was the absolute worst (still am), but I guess my constant tweeting about musical artists and YouTube […]
Health in Hands
I’ve been under an intense amount of stress lately (like the past three years).

Choc•O•Pain French Bakery and Cafe + Bloomsbury Sq

The Grind Shop x ChicpeaJC
Anyone who has met me knows I love coffee. I have two to three cups a day. I can’t start my morning without it! So you can imagine my excitement when I heard The Grind wanted to work on a drink collab. I visited The Grind at their new location in The Baker Building and was […]

Journal Square: Shop Local

The Real Kärma
I am a 90s R&B/Hip Hop era kid, and when I first heard Kärma sing, I was transported back to my era. Kärma performs a lot with local band (one of my faves) Conundrum and I saw them perform together at the Central Ave car show a few months ago. I was completely mesmerized by her […]
