Lifestyle

I believe everything happens for a reason, no matter what. As someone who graduated with a B.S. in Architecture but still worked in the service industry after graduating, I could honestly say I still had a good time and enjoyed my life.

HIKING MOUNT BIERSTADT (A CO 14ER)

I’m finally able to say I hiked a 14er, and all I can say is it was quite a challenge for me! While looking at the summit of Mount Bierstadt from the base, I totally blanked on the quick altitude change, cold and mental challenge ahead! I would like to think that I’ve…

FOOD DISCLAIMER….

I would say in no way do I consider myself a professional cook and that you need to follow my recipe measurement by measurement, nor am I someone that follows the ingredients and instructions to the tee. What I enjoy about my cooking is that I work with what I have already and when it…
