My New Blog: Chef & Pauper
Hello Friends! I’m excited to announce the launch of my new blog: It’s called Chef & Pauper, and it’s a collaboration between me and my boyfriend, Brian. Now, if you’re worried ReFashionista is going away, don’t be. It’s staying riiiiight here and I’ll still be posting here every now and again. So what is this Chef & Pauper thing anyways? I truly believe food is one of life’s greatest pleasures. When Brian and I first met, we bonded over a shared love of food and cooking.

So well, in fact, that I’ve met his parents (who are also lovely, and considerably less bearded). Brian and I decided to have them over to my place for dinner. This was a big deal to me…
My First Not-So-Hostile Hostel Experience
When a few friends of mine and I purchased tickets to see Future Islands (one of my favorite bands) in Asheville, NC, single me was in a pickle. Erin and Ken wanted to book a room at the new Aloft (and presumably do what married people do), and my pal Dan was staying with friends. I just needed a place to crash. That was it. I knew I’d be out late and would barely even see the hotel or Airbnb I booked. That extra couple hundred bucks could be spent in far more fun ways.

Hello Fellow Travelers! I’ve returned! 🙂 I know, I’m the worst. Am I doing this blog or not? I need to make up my mind and stop stringing you guys along/ghosting randomly for months on end, huh?
