Solo at Sea: A Comedy of Buffets, Books, and Bon Voyage

When conducting a job interview, I tend to ask strange and unexpected questions. I remember one time I asked a job candidate what their worst enemy would say about them and it threw everyone in the room off their game. I remember my coworker doing a slow burn look of confusion towards me.  I was

I Made It Out Of My First Solo Cruise With All Of My Organs Intact

Well.. Remember, like, two posts ago when I was longing for my next cruise and I thought it wouldn’t be until January of next year? WE WERE ALL WRONG! I would turn out that cruises get REALLY cheap during the fall when all the kids go back to school. I ended up snagging a really

Scandal on the High Seas; or, My Perfect Day at CocoCay

Y’all if you ever want to wildly scandalize an entire cruise ship from your fellow passengers right through the captain of the ship- you should skip out on visit CocoCay.

Truth be told, we actually had a low-key time which is what we wanted. The two of us were exhausted and overworked and just needed

Packing for A Cruise; or, A Random Tirade About Fashion

With just three days to go until we set sail on our cruise, I decided it was time to actually start considering the idea of perhaps entertaining the thoughts of probably packing. I have always been a master procrastinator when it comes to packing. Having spent the last ten years on the road for work,

Bermuda, Bahama, Come on Pretty Mama

Announcement time? I’ve been keeping it somewhat under wraps for no real reason but I’m excited to say that I am just seven days away from a vacation! Even more exciting is that I’ll be going on this trip with my OG partner in crime, my sister Shannon! This is easily the most last minute
