  • The Single Girl’s Guide to Kicking a Cold

    The Single Girl’s Guide to Kicking a Cold

    Defend yourself against cold & flu season with these health kit must haves 

    Single Girl Health Kit

    As much as I love Fall, there’s one bit of the season that always leaves me wary. It’s the thought that lingers in the back of my mind from November to May when the weather begins to warm again. I hope I don’t get sick. For, along with its gorgeous autumnal colors, sweater weather, and PSLs, Fall unfortunately also seems to carry-in infection.

    It just so happens that this weekend, I found myself in my first fight against cold & flu season. Friday at the office, my sneezing fits seemed multiplied. Saturday, my headache seemed to build more than Friday’s glasses of wine should have called for. By Sunday morning, I awoke to a face heavy with congestion.

    Luckily, previous seasons of sickness have left me prepared. My personal health-kit is fully stocked with items to help me defend myself from whatever is trying to take me down. I also know exactly what to reach for to keep me going, like my favorite juices from Pressed Juicery.

    To make sure you’re prepared to face this cold & flu season, I’m sharing the items I keep in my personal health kit. Take a look and let me know what’s in yours!

    It’s that time of year again. The time when the days begin to grow noticeable shorter, the temperatures start to drop, and the scarves and books find their way to the front of your closet. Of course, this can also only mean one thing. It’s time to update your style to suit the season.

    To be honest, I’m generally not a big shopper. When given the choice of what to do with my spare time, I typically opt to do something a bit more active like going for a long bike ride or hike with my girlfriends. This is partly driven by the awesome LA weather and largely driven by the anxiety that shopping brings. What style should I go for? Which items should I pick? Do I really have to spend that much??

    That being said, I’ve hit the low point that I know you all have been at before. Standing in front of my closet has become depressing. Everything I see has been worn more than it’s fair share of times and I can honestly say  I have nothing to wear!

    Luckily, I’ve found a great handful of shopping sites that solve all of my shopping woes. In this list you’ll find sites that hand-pick items to fit your style, look books to offer you outfit inspiration, and prices you won’t think twice about paying. Read on to see my favorite ways to shop on a budget!

    It would be a gross understatement to say that I have begun to get into the swing of Fall. The only way to accurately describe my welcoming of this season is to say that I have contracted an obsession. Recently I came across a Buzzfeed article 25 Things All Basic White Girls Do During The Fall  and momentarily thought I was reading my Facebook newsfeed instead of a totally disassociated post. Pretty sure a #PSL was in my hand as I was scrolling down the list. Yes, it’s that bad.
