About

Hello!

My name is Rachael and I am twenty something year old who has decided to enter the world of blogging!! It feels a little crazy to do but I am so inspired by the many talented bloggers I follow that I thought, "Why not give it a go!".  I may start this blog and only end up with five followers, but I will continue to blog as long as it is something I enjoy.

Why blogging? Simple. I want a way to remember all my adventures, share any travel tips I learn along the way, show off my personal style and share aspects of my life as a grad student. I wouldn't say I live a glamorous life where I'm jetting off to fancy hotels in Europe and I can't afford top designer brands, but I think it is important to show that there is "joy in the ordinary." Don't get me wrong, I love following bloggers who are able to travel more frequently than myself or have a style that incorporates amazing designers, but I feel it is important I love the life I have while I continue to chase after my dreams.

You may notice the quote "find joy in the ordinary" all over my blog, instagram, etc. I stumbled across it several years ago and it has stuck with me. I think there is something so powerful about enjoying the little things in life and appreciating what you have while you work towards your goals. I realized that with social media I started to focus on what I don't have instead of loving what I do have.

I hope to inspire others to look at their life and find genuine happiness in the smaller, every day things. I want people to see how even the "average joe" per say is amazing just as they are.

Thank you for checking out my blog and I hope you enjoyed it!

Rachael
