This weekend was one of those weekends that went by waaaay too fast! On Wednesday night, Jon and I flew back to Michigan to see my friends Danielle and Nate get married. I was one of the bridesmaids, so I couldn’t risk having another cancelled flight and missing any of the festivities. That morning it was…

NYC Bucket List
Hello friends! I need your help! I am determined to make the most of my time living in Manhattan. There’s so much to do and see here, and I want to take advantage of being so close to everything. Jon and I did quite a bit of exploring so far, but now with my tax…
25 Life Lessons For My 25th Birthday
Oh my goodness, I can’t believe that I’m 25! It always seemed like such an old age to me, yet here I am, ready to embrace it. Maybe now I’ll start saying you’re only as old as you feel, and age is just a number. I had such an amazing 24th year and I know my…
Strolling Through Central Park: Part 1
Central Park is such an iconic part of NYC. It’s so much bigger than people think so I figured I would make my strolls through Central Park into multiple posts. There’s so much to do and see there. We stayed along the east side on our stroll this day. A few weekends ago Jon and…
Lyssy’s Eats: Voodoo Donuts

First Visit Back to Michigan: Part 1
It’s so weird to think that I’m visiting now when I come back home, but I was so excited to go back home to Michigan with Jon and celebrate the Fourth of July. I’ve been away for five weeks so far, the time has really flown by! We got up early and lifted before getting…
What’s Up: July 2018
I’m going to start linking up with the first blogger I ever read, Shay Shull, for my What’s Up posts. Each month I’ll be answering the following questions: What I’m eating: Based on our freezer we only eat naan bread pizza, post workout smoothies, and ice cream. But seriously, Jon and I eat this naan…
Exploring Battery Park & World Trade Center
This weekend was our first weekend of exploring NYC. It was also the first time I ever saw a rat in the subway…it wasn’t as big as I imagined luckily. Jon and I went downtown and I saw where all of the federal buildings were. It’s about a 25 minute commute from the apartment. It…
