The 2010’s Are Coming Back?!?!
On my Instagram (follow me @_thepinkchickadee) feed, I saw someone post *in horror* about the return of peplum and statement necklaces aka Charming Charlie galore (!!!) one evening night in downtown Washington, DC.

Do You Meal Prep?
Do you meal prep? Up until recently, I didn’t meal prep! However, as I got busier and busier in my week-to-week life, meal prep has been the way for me to go. Yet, since the pandemic winded down, it took me time (and lots of money spent on takeout – whoops!) to realize that meal…
DC Dining – Summer 2023
Summer 2023 has been one of my favorite summers in recent years. Summer 2020 there was the pandemic. Summer 2021 I felt mentally crushed being away from all of my college friends having just moved back to the Washington, DC area. And, Summer 2022 I was struggling a ton mentally. SO, Summer 2023 was such…

It has been a dream of mine since my early college years to move back to the Washington, DC…
Review: The Cake Bake Shop by Gwendolyn Rogers
Ever since I saw my influencer bestie Lindsay share about The Cake Bake Shop on Instagram (follow me @_thepinkchickadee), I knew that I needed to check this magical brunch spot when I visited Lindsay in Indiana. Truly, The Cake Bake Shop feels as if you are visiting Walt Disney World with the magic, the sparkle,…
5 Hours in Charleston, South Carolina
The first time I went to Charleston (here), I immediately fell *in love* with this charming Southern city! While Charleston, South Carolina is heavily talked about and on my feed at least on the daily via the many amazing women that I follow on Instagram, I have also discovered the love and hype behind this…
A Few Professional + Blog Updates
I have ALWAYS been a goal-getter! Maybe it is because I am an Enneagram Type 3 (if you know you know!) and THRIVE off of being productive and combatting every bullet point on my to do lists time and time again. Needless to say, June and July 2023 were BIG and EXCITING months for me.…
The Life of Katie – July 2023
July 2023 was a super fun-filled and special month for me. While filled with many high’s, there were also a few low’s. I have achieved some major goals of mine professionally (more to share in a future blog post!), spent LOTS of time with those I love both near and far, and *of course* made…
What I Wore to Work – July 2023
July 2023 kicked off with the July 4th holiday festivities and feeling SOOO refreshed after being on vacation in South Carolina for the latter part of June. Work-wise, I jumped right back in with a much clearer head post-vacation ready to take all that may come my way. Work-wise this year, July has been my…
