It’s almost sandal season and we are all stuck inside at least for the next month or so, it is inevitable that we will be doing some (tons of) online shopping. I love shopping for summer shoes, what I don’t love are the prices.

2020 RESOLUTIONS
Read more: 2020 RESOLUTIONSLooking back on the last decade, it is really hard to compare where I was to where I am now. I was still in high school, I had totally different career aspirations and was in a completely different phase of life… I didn’t even have a driver’s license. I am 25 now, I know what I want and I know where I want to go in the next 10 years. While time does fly, you have to take success and goals one year, even one day, at a time.
