Miami Life: Good vibes and Sunshine So I’ve been a little quiet on here lately, because I’ve been gearing up for a major move to Miami! It all happened very quickly and with everything going on I had to put my blog on pause. But wow what a month it has been! I was at […]

Not-So-Springlike Lack of Sunshine Killin My Vibe Happy Spring! Or at least that’s what the calendar tells me I should be saying. Reality: maybe not quite yet.
