My Favorite Food Spots in Denver
Last week I went on a trip to my absolute favorite place to visit, Denver, Colorado. This was my third trip there and I’m already itching to go back. If you know me, you know I’m a concert lover so it’s no surprise that I went there for a concert (three, in fact). But in my defense, it's one of the best concert venues in the world resides there (I’m biased, but there are a lot of facts to back me up on this one). I had such a blast so I thought I’d share some of my favorite restaurants and activities with you over a few blog posts. I’ll start with all the places I ate at while I was there! Breakfast Every time I’m there I always make a stop at Four Friends Kitchen in Stapleton. They have a southern twist on breakfast and they have bbq potatoes that are seriously SO good. It’s ...
How I Made $1,000 Using Poshmark
Hi friends! If you haven’t heard of Poshmark, it’s an app that serves as a social commerce marketplace for fashion where you can buy, sell, and share your style. I started on it a few years ago but didn’t put much effort into it and I was lucky when I made a sale. I’ve been upping my game lately all while getting money for clothes I hardly wear. I buy a lot of clothes for someone who wears the same 6 outfits over and over again. Why am I like this? I mean, sometimes there are shirts with tags on them in my closet for months before I wear them. So this is basically how I got started on Poshmark. I would bring my old clothes that I didn’t wear enough, or new clothes for that matter, to local consignment shops and they would low-ball even the nice clothes with tags. Being petty, I vowed ...

Part of that is bringing this blog back to life. I originally started this because I work in influencer industry and it seemed easy - plot twist, it’s not. I really wanted a platform to post my piece on grief on and I didn’t think much past that. But I love to write and I think this is a great way to keep writing things outside of my job, it’s a nice break! So, today I’m sharing 5 things I’ve been loving lately and I hope you enjoy! R.M. Drake Ugh, my heart. R.M. Drake found fame by way of Instagram by sharing lines and short poems to his page. I have always enjoyed poetry, in fact I took a few poetry ...
