I haven’t been on public transit in over a year! I had no idea that my bus ride home on December 20, 2019 would be my last for a long time.

Breaking my ankle forced me to change which shoes I wear at home. I tried cute, furry slippers as a kid, but always abandoned them. In the last 10 years or so, I’ve worn Old Navy flip flops around the apartment nonstop. I’ve alternated different pairs and love my royal blue ones.
Yes, I’m aware that flip flops are bad for you. I’ve seen them ridiculed in many articles, but I ignored the comments and slipped them on at home daily. The only time I regretted wearing them was when I visited Madame Tussauds in Las Vegas.
I’ve been on a mission to build a powerful archive of my own pictures. I don’t always know what I’m taking or saving them for, but I’ve always had a feeling they would be helpful someday. That I would have the right picture for the right moment.
When the COVID-19 pandemic happened and we were all told to stay home, I didn’t want to be insensitive to my audience. It didn’t seem like the right time to do photo shoots for Instagram. So, I started posting throwbacks. Not baby photos, but throwbacks within the last 5-10 years from my camera. It seemed like the perfect time to take advantage of my archive.
The picture of Jessica Mulroney and I that I posted on the day of her series premiere? Taken 2 years ago. I posted 3 more latergrams before I posted a new frozen snack I discovered. I heated up SuperPretzels in the toaster oven and put them under good lighting on a red paper plate. Ta da, new post!
Between my full-time job and blog, I spend a lot of time on social media. At the end of the day, I find myself looking for something calming to look at. Something that doesn’t make me obsess over followers or engagement metrics. Something that’s simply pretty. That’s why I rediscovered Pinterest.
Working on a mobile game about celebrities and fashion led me to spend more time on Pinterest. It lets me uncover the latest trends while seeing content that’s tailored to my style and I love that.
