It’s been too long, friends. I’ve been good about updating on instagram and facebook but it’s been both blog and channel that have suffered. It’s been some 3 months since Hurricane Maria and about a month and a half since I’ve been stateside. This time has been filled with work and spending time with loved..read more
It’s been surreal being back in Charlotte. It’s where my husband and I spent most of our lives {funny enough, in the same circles but never quite meeting until we finally did}. The moment we were served drinks on the plane, I stared in disbelief at the ice in my cup which just a..read more
And here’s how we spent it. Brunch Coffee Picking pumpkins Feeding animals And eating lots of daddy’s favorite seafood. {This is what 5 lbs of shrimp, 4 lbs of mussels, 5 dozen clams, and 3 dozen oysters look like}. Happy birthday, daddy! I love you from the bottom of my heart. Love, Your Soogee
The moment we left home and started driving away, I started bawling. Like a baby. I’ll be 29 in 3 months and there I was. Bawling. It’s been nearly 2 weeks now and it still hasn’t quite sunk in but we’re just about settled in and I’m enjoying the slow pace of the island. Everyone..read more

During our “Pack Away Hunger” initiative yesterday, I met a man named Frank. Frank was in the middle of crossing the barrier to reach the river below the bridge when my friend and I offered him a lunch pack and cold water. He had no teeth, just gums he revealed as he smiled and thanked..read more
If you’re looking for a BB cream review or a sandy peach lipstick swatch, sorry to disappoint. These are just a few shots of things that I found beauty in this past week. This is the winner–hands down. As I slipped past them, it was, without a faltering moment that I decided that I must..read more
I’ll never be too proud to admit that sometimes, I can be a dolt. The very first time (and only time ever, mind you) that I was involved in a “car accident” happened all because of an ice cream cone. True story. It seems that my preoccupation with food is an expansive monster. If ever..read more
Today was a terrific day. You know how sometimes you can just smell the rain? It’s those moments right before when everything is still dry but there’s a wonderful moistness in the air that makes your arms feel all sticky and cool all at once and the breeze just picks up and makes everything smell..read more
