I just got back from a long weekend at Chincoteague Island in Virginia with my college roommate, Stephanie! It was a much needed short vacation, and I wish I could be back right now. If you don’t have time to visit Daufuskie Island, I definitely recommend Chincoteague Island since it’s only three hours from Philadelphia, […]

As a photographer and friend of a lot of artsy people, I have quite a collection of photographs and artwork from the past few years and haven’t really had room to hang it all up. Since I just moved into my new apartment, I was really excited to have such a huge, empty wall in my […]

I probably say this in every other post, but I really love all the nature around Philadelphia. It’s a great perk of living in the city, and that’s why it was #8 on the 11 Things I’ve Learned Living in Philadelphia post! One neat thing about all the greenery around Philadelphia is the variety. In […]

Exciting news!!! Today is my ONE year anniversary of moving to Philadelphia! 🙂 It really flew by! There have been ups and a few downs, and I’ve definitely learned a lot about Philadelphia in the past year. It’s a fascinating city, and I feel like I’ve only scratched the surface! Here are 11 things I’ve […]

When I moved from North Carolina to Philadelphia, I learned something surprising: a ton of people around here vacation at Myrtle Beach! As I’m writing this, two of my coworkers are there right now and another one is heading there in a few days. Myrtle Beach is more of a touristy beach to me, and […]

One of my favorite things about Philadelphia is how artsy it is. There are incredible murals, mosaic art pieces on buildings, and multiple art museums all over the city. The Philadelphia Museum of Art is one of my favorite places to visit, and I’ve actually been three times already! If you missed my previous Philadelphia […]

Jess is a freelance content strategist, and runs a food and dessert blog. She is a self proclaimed chocolate geek and has a lot of experience taking […]

Even if you don’t live in Philadelphia, there’s a good chance you’ve heard of the Philadelphia Museum of Art because of its beautiful grounds… just kidding! It’s the home of the very famous Rocky Steps! (confession time: I actually didn’t even seen Rocky until a few months after I moved to Philadelphia) If you get the […]

I’ve said this before, but Philadelphia’s City Hall is my favorite building in the city. And it’s probably my favorite building in the United States (other than buildings in my hometown Washington, D.C.!), so I was really excited when I found out you could actually go to the top of City Hall! I actually only […]

I hope everyone had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend! It finally consistently feels like spring in Philadelphia (and sometimes even summer), so it’s been nice to be able to spend more time outside. Annika is adamantly against this heat though and really wants the snow to come back! I’ve been able to explore more of […]

Spring has (mostly) come to Philadelphia! If you missed last week’s post, I had an entire post on spring flowers in bloom. It’s pretty neat to be able to see so many flowers and greenery in such a big city. And as I mentioned in my first post on the Schuylkill River, Philadelphia actually quite […]
