I think I’m at the point where Prime Day has become one of my favorite holidays. I’m a sucker for fast shipping, what can I say? Anyway, I have gone on a bit of an Amazon spending spree this year, so I’ve garnered quite the list for you! With things […]
5 Unique NYC Summer Activities
It’s hot AF in the city. I don’t like it. The beaches, pools, and museums are crowded as well. Not to mention if you’re a city-dweller like myself, getting to a beach can be a bit of a trek. It’s just literally an entire day of sweating. That said, life […]
