5 Ways to Take Your Insta Stories to the Next Level

It’s been about a year since Instagram unrolled “stories”, and since then we’ve seen some clever use — and complete abuse — of the video platform. The feature was openly designed to compete with Snapchat, and it’s disappearing quality was *supposed* to mean freedom from the perfection-obsessed culture of Instagram.

10 Tastemakers Define Wellness (And It’s Not What You Think)

I’ve been thinking a lot about the wellness industry lately — specifically as it relates to what we see on social media and in marketing — this idealized, almost utopian lifestyle for a specific (elite) demographic.

Weekend Notes

Whether it’s a last minute request from a coworker, a bill pay reminder, or just yet another spammy sale email from that one online clothing site that you can never remember to actually unsubscribe from, facing a crowded inbox causes more stress than we’d like.

6 Ways To Help Texans Affected By Hurricane Harvey

I Didn’t Eat Anything from A Restaurant for 5 Weeks and This Is What Happened

2017 has been an exciting year of travel for me. I’ve been to Tulum, Mexico City, Todos Santos, Barcelona, and June marked my first ever trip to Italy. While never unpacking your suitcase offers it’s own off-the-rails kind of fun, it tends to go hand-in-hand with never buying groceries, overspending, and forgetting that the concept […]
