Keep reading to get a glimpse of the sights, see more photos of my travels, and even read the legend behind the town's name!

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 2025
Hello, lovelies! I have been quite busy lately with life, but I felt I needed to update the blog with a post detailing my recent trip to Philadelphia, PA. This trip actually occurred back in May, but I'm finally getting around to making a post about it! I was a plus-one to the wedding for some of my boyfriend's friends and I also had the opportunity to roam all around the city to take in the sights. It was my first time visiting Philadelphia and I was not disappointed. Let's get into it!

Art & The Power Of Flowers
Hello, lovelies! I can't believe I have been absent from blogging for almost a month! Life has been getting busier and busier, especially as summer comes to a close. Although, I have to say, I am definitely craving a chilly autumn evening all cozied up with a good book, some candles, and my pet cat, Percy. I've always loved the autumn season the most, so I'm super ready for its arrival.

Wedding Guest Adventures
Hello, lovelies! Last week, I took a trip out of state to attend a wedding in Alabama. It has been several years since I had been there, so it was interesting to go back and see how things have changed since I last visited. During my time there, I was able to venture out into the city and explore the area. I was able to go to a National History & Botanical Gardens Museum which was so pretty and unique!

Lifestyle Favorites: Riverside Picnic

One of my favorite leisure activities is going for an afternoon picnic. I live near several parks that are great for picnicking. My favorite is along the river, and has a gorgeous view!
