This weekend vlog is basically me living by my new favorite quote: “We only die once. We got to live every day.” So my mom and I decided to do a super spontaneous fall road trip from Maryland up to Pennsylvania to watch my niece Vivian’s soccer game—at 7 PM… when it was already after 3. We didn’t even stay the night, which is kind of wild, but it was so worth it. We did the whole road trip vibe: scenic leaf-changing views, a Love’s stop (clean bathrooms, always), McDonald’s snacks, and car karaoke that turned into a full-on one-woman show. After we got back (it was 1:20 AM and I was definitely a little delirious), I took you into real life the next morning too—Christmas family photo shoot prep, my coffee routine, and a little Bath & Body Works stop. I made a cozy hot Nespresso drink with my all-time favorite Torani chocolate chip cookie dough syrup (yes, I will die on that hill), and I shared a mini haul from the Milk Bar collab because I genuinely love smelling like a baked good. I also tried a Dunkin’ shaken espresso with pumpkin + butter pecan swirl and gave it an honest 6/10 because it wasn’t sweet enough for me.
