If I had a dollar for every time my girl friends and I have sat around ranting about the latest offenses of the men in (or not in) our lives, I’d have a closet full of Louboutins. In the life of a modern day twenty-something woman, the amount of time, energy and frustration spent on …

The Show Goes On

I have always loved the limelight. From a very early age the thought and act of being on stage performing has given me goosebumps and put a smile on my face. I don’t dislike this about myself, it makes for good entertainment and the inevitable stage fright is generally accompanied by a healthy kind of nerves that …

About a month ago, some friends of mine had the idea of recreating last winter’s NYC adventure by reuniting for Mercedes Benz Fashion Week 2013. When the idea was suggested to me, my immediate reaction was to not go– I had just gotten back from a fun filled weekend in the city and wondered if …

Hello from the East Coast! I recently returned to NYC for the first time since I moved back to Oklahoma nine months ago. The weekend was filled with a wonderful blend of good friends, good food and a lot of fun. I left the city that never sleeps reminded of why I fell in love …

I’m a very multi-dimensional person. For my entire life my interests have spanned across every category one could think of. In middle school, my extracurricular activities included every sport under the sun and the academic bowl team.In high school I felt completely at home on the volleyball court and on the stage and now my perfect …

The Measure of Success

One week ago I finished up another semester of undergrad. I breathed a huge sigh of relief as I walked out the large double doors on the North side of campus. I had just finished the last of four challenging finals and although I was not entirely sure I had aced them, I was so glad to …

It’s finals time y’all! I am pleased to say that another semester of undergrad is almost behind me. One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned this semester is how it’s ok to not be a perfectionist. This semester I took a video production class. Now I’ve never been shy when it comes to being on …
