"Blue Jean Baby"

You can go on entire shopping extravaganzas and search for the perfect pair of jeans and never find them. I had that problem once until I strolled into Old Navy and tried on their Sweetheart jeans one day back in high school. Ever since that fateful day, I have only bought Old Navy Sweetheart jeans. Every wash looks different yet each pair fits perfectly like a glove. There is no better pair of jeans: these are comfortable AND affordable! Shopping online can be a shot-in-the-dark, but I order them with confidence knowing these jeans will fit just right every time!

Out with the Old... In with the New

      I remember the first time I took a ride in my Buick Regal, Gertrude. A hand-me-down from my aunt, my first car wasn’t exactly new. Additionally, I can’t even number the amount of times I was called a grandmother for driving my Buick, but I completely embraced it! Once I began at UMBC the more people I knew, the more people consequently knew not just who I was but Gertrude too! After four years of faithful service and many memories, sudden sad circumstances forced me to search for a new companion, leaving my brown beauty behind for Shondra the Honda.

Small Town Style

If you were to ask me where I am from, I would say South Jersey. I always get ridiculed for being a "Jersey girl" but South Jersey is MUCH different. My hometown, Woodstown, is what we like to call the middle of nowhere: a town surrounded by fields. Growing up here would have been so isolating without many of the friends with which I chose to surround myself; they were home to me. This philosophy has extended throughout my time at UMBC. I have made new lifelong friends who will always be home to me long after graduation in May.
