It’s #throwback Thursday time! Back in August of 2018, I wrote a post, Bespoke Backgammon, about my grandparents and their lifelong obsession with the game of backgammon.

One of my favorite online destinations for fun, inexpensive fashion is Mango.com. Imagine how happy I was to find that their normally affordable selections are now on sale! Time to load up the cart. I am a devoted Zara customer and I feel like Mango has a lot of similar options, kind of like a…
Comfortable clothing is key for me. To that end, I own multiple pairs of cozy sweat pants and warm fleecy tops. Recently I was browsing one of my fave sites, Shopbop, and came across so many updated sweatshirts and thought I’ve finally found a way to dress comfortably yet look (kind of) stylish at the same…
