“Please, do not ever settle for less. Keep waiting. Keep learning about yourself, keep trying and fighting for the heart within your chest. Keep growing and nourishing your wants, your needs.” -bianca sparacino (@rainbowsalt) These first few months of this new year have brought on a lot of opportunity for growth and even more chances […]

I just re-watched one of my most favorite television dramas of all time, which is going to sound a bit premature considering it’s not even a year old (just bear with me!!!). In early March, Freeform (the new and improved ABC Family Channel focused more on relating to todays teenagers and the controversial millennial) debuted The […]

I’ve come to realize growth is by no means something you choose. You can say you’re “ready” or “open” to growth whether that is in terms to personal growth or interest in new things and opportunities; however, genuine, meaningful growth stems from surprise in my experience. It’s similar to the concept where expectations have the power to diminish reality and […]

1. Motorcycle Accidents Driving up to Julian, I saw my first ever car accident and it was one of scariest and most shocking moments of my life. A car pulled out of a driveway as we were beginning our climb up the two lane highway to Julian barely missing a car and one motorcyclist. Most […]

In the least selfish way, this past year was all about me. I made a promise to myself last new years that I would do everything in my power to figure out me. 2016 was a huge year for personal growth and figuring out how to overcome a lot of unexpected obstacles. It was about piecing […]

Braving the Wilderness by Dr. Brene Brown. “Belonging so fully to yourself that you’re willing to stand alone is a wilderness–an untamed, unpredictable place of solitude and searching. It is a place as dangerous as it is breathtaking, a place as sought after as it is feared…” “…The wilderness can often feel unholy because we cannot control […]

1. The Secret Life of Pets I thoroughly enjoyed this movie way more than I expected (probably to an embarrassing extent) but it basically depicted everything I always assume Ollie and Luna do when we’re not home! 2. Conversations//tough ones, good ones, bad ones, funny ones 3. Chapstick Addict I’m a victim of easy marketing strategies…why […]

Dilworth Park- Philadelphia, PA A CRISP NOVEMBER DAY IN PHILADELPHIA Love Always, Megan Nicole

Walking into Building 543 on the old, decommissioned Philadelphia Navy Yard, we immediately saw this wall of glistening sequins and an Alice in Wonderland size living room set. Have you ever read the children’s book Rainbow Fish? Imagine staring at a wall over 20ft tall, covered in scale-like cylinders reflecting rainbow colors just like the fish! It literally […]
