Challenger Club
In January of 2020, I signed a lease on a 2020 Dodge Challenger GT AWD. Prior to my current car, I had been driving a Mazda 3, and although it was a reliable car, it just wasn’t what I wanted. I ended my Mazda lease a few months early and signed for my Dodge. I couldn’t wait to drive my car everywhere but the world had other plans. My state shut down less than two months into my lease and, by the time I had the for six months, I barely had 3,000 miles on her. Still it is a decision that I would make a thousand times over again.

On This Episode of 'Random Purchases': A Massage Chair
I am a proud member of a Costco family. When I was younger, going to Costco was the equivalent of going to an amusement park. I got to play with new toys, run up and down the isles, enjoy a $1.50 hot dog, and wait in line for an hour to check out. Costco, and specifically Kirkland, is a brand that my family has trusted for decades. During a recent trip with my father, we stumbled across a new toy in one of the isles; A Brookstone Mach IX 4D Vario Massage Chair.

Beauty School Vs. Business school
When I was fourteen, I decided I wanted to become a hairstylist. I went to a vocational high school, was in the cosmetology program, and got my license by the time I graduated. After school, I worked in a salon for a year before quitting to work a 9-5 desk job.

The Perfect Formula
I could list off recommendations, based on my favorite tv shows or movies, for hours. Thanks to online streaming services, there is an abundance of new and old, movies or series to watch. I tend to fall into the categories of comic books, thrillers, drama and documentaries; that's my niche.

Time to Thaw Out
New England does not have a spring season. I know that we are praised for having all four seasons but, it is simply a lie. What we have, is one week of spring weather, almost immediately followed by a snow storm, then a month of rain, and all of a sudden it is 80 degrees. There is nothing like getting a head start on your spring cleaning while it snows outside. That first warm week, often referred to as 'fool’s spring', sets our spring fever into motion regardless.

Sexiest Drinks To Order At A Bar
What you drink at a bar, says a lot about who you are as a person. It's strange to think about, but it is undeniably true. There is a specific clientele to each brand of alcohol, as well as what type. When I say vodka red bull, the first thing that comes to mind is a frat boy. Bud Light will always make me think of blue collar workers and country music. Red wine makes me think ‘mother of two’.

How To Avoid Cleaning Your Room
I become one of the most productive people in the world whenever I have to clean my room. There is no end to the tasks I can come up with to avoid cleaning my room and doing my laundry. I’m not a perfect person, I'll admit it. Procrastination is my middle name.

How I Took This Photo
Whelp! Look at where I have ended up. One day I fancy myself a book reader, the next a writer, and today? Today, apparently, I’m a 'professional' photographer. What a time to be alive! Thanks to a Vocal challenge, a lazy Sunday afternoon, and a spark on inspiration, I have found myself just slightly outside my comfort zone.
