.what i value now.
I’ve been doing my usual overthinking lately about how I’ve been spending my time and using my energy. My husband and I have been traveling back and forth between the US and Germany for about a year now, and I’ve been reflecting on the things that I do and don’t value as we navigate this…

Thoughts to live by. A lot has changed in six months. I left my job, got married, and started traveling much more. Here is what I learned. Check out my Instagrams for more: @allofherthings and @frau.danitherichschmidt

.Oh nice! Prague!.
My husband and I recently went on a quick trip to Prague! This is one of those cities I never thought I’d go to, but I’m open to anything new. Sidenote: My husband grew up in Hof, Germany, only 25 minutes or so from the Czech Republic border. I have to admit, I was surprised…

.burnout.
I don’t know how my mother did it. For over 30 years, she commuted 1.5-2 hours to New York, worked 8 hours, and then traveled 1.5-2 hours back to our Central NJ home. My mother would do this Monday-Friday and still manage to cook dinner for the family and take me to voice lessons and…

One month ago, I married the love of my life…
It’s weird because if you asked me last year if I thought I’d even have a partner in 2024, I’d say no. I did not believe I would have a partner, but here I am, married. Everything happened pretty quickly, I guess. Some know the story, but I figured I’d share how it all started.…

Beauty and My Body
Here I go, writing another extremely personal blog post, but I assume this is what I’ll be doing every few months. I usually try to avoid conversations about my body. I feel like I get a lot of questions that I’m not comfortable enough to answer, or maybe I haven’t come to terms with. Either…

Skincare Highlights of my 20s
November is here, which means my 30th birthday is right around the corner. Reaching this new decade has had me thinking about how much my self care has changed over the last 10 years. It’s truly been a journey and I know I’m starting my new decade much more knowledgeable about what my skin and…

PATTERN by Tracee Ellis Ross
I always love trying new shampoos and conditioners on my hair and when Tracee Ellis Ross said she was dropping a hair care line, I was so excited. The morning it was set to launch on her site, I reloaded the page a couple times around 8:58a ET for the 9:00a drop. However, the countdown…

The Nudes…
Autumn… The weather gets chilly, the leaves start to change, everything pumpkin spice and apple cider is available, I start dressing like I belong on Twin Peaks. All of these things are wonderful, but my favorite part is the lipstick. Put away the pinks, it’s time for those darker shades and of course NUDES! As…
