For the first time in a very long time I've actually embraced spring break. As an adult I find spring break a completely strange concept since I rarely go on vacation. Most of my school provided "spring breaks" are spent working or catching up on school work. This year I finally chose to do.....nothing. A bit scary but also a bit fun.

Ah, Bachelor Nation. The nation I have recently joined purely by accident. My friends love The Bachelor family of products almost religiously, and I reluctantly joined their Bachelorette viewing party this last summer. I was likely invited to simply bring homemade guac, but I haven't been able to look away from this beautiful train wreck ever since.

What I'm Listening To features a mix of new music I really like. old favorites I've heard recently, and just songs on my radar. While I love theme mixes or mixes curated with a purpose, sometimes it's just fun to get back to basics.

Towards the end of the holiday season I was bombarded with emails about "hygge" and how I could bring the practice into 2017. I was intrigued by the concept purely by its name and realized it's an incredibly popular movement I knew nothing about. Suddenly every email about recipes that would get me feeling totally "hygge" or furniture that would make my apartment the ultimate "hygge" retreat made sense. Winter, being so dark and cold, can lead to seasonal depression and overall feeling of wanting to hibernate until the spring comes around.
