Happy Tuesday, Bombers and Bombshells! This past weekend, I went to celebrate the 1st birthday of my college roommate’s baby in beautiful Lodi, California! I am so grateful I have a friend who lives in that part of the country, because it is hands down one of the most beautiful places I’ve seen in my life.

I actually worked as a fact checker at a magazine because unlike today, when you can just click ‘edit’ to update an…
Happy Friday, Bomb Lifers! I am currently sitting in Atlanta airport on a gnarly (!) 3 hour layover, and figured: what better time than now to tell you about my recent trip to Eleuthera, Bahamas? As many of you may know, my mother is from Nassau, Bahamas, and we have family on Nassau, Andros, Long Island, and Eleuthera.
