Travel Guide: What I Wore & Things to Do In Brussels, Belgium
BRUSSELS, BELGIUM
What I Wore: Depending on the day, sundresses like this one with a vintage Garage Bomber Jacket (but I’d recommend any of their jackets here), a nude H&M tank with these black skinny jeans, an oversized scarf with either outfit, these Converse Chuck Taylor All Star Madison in Ox Black/Wolf Grey/White with the jeans, and these AMAZING Eurosoft Rayelle Wedge Sandals with the sundresses. These gladiator-style sandals were actually my shoe staple for my June trip around Europe. They are fashionable enough to dress up or down, are incredibly comfortable, and even have a slight heel! Fave. Since I was backpacking around, I did a lot of rotating the same wardrobe on my European adventure.
What I Did: You can read my five favorite things to do in Brussels here!
What I Ate: Chocolate from several of the chocolatiers in the Sablon, Belgian beer from The Delirium Cafe, waffles from street merchants near Mannekin Pis, and a tasty Italian gnocchi dinner at Gabbiani Reali. The chef even came out to watch us take our first bite and make sure we liked it! It was fabulous.
Where I Stayed: The White Coloured Studio Avenue Henri Dietrich Airbnb. This was one of my favorite stays of the trip. Though it was a necessary 13-minute Uber ride away from Grand Place, it was roomy, clean, and cool. The host provides amazing little amenities throughout the room like makeup remover pads, tons of books and maps on nearby activities, and extra linens. It was a spacious studio setup and easy entry.

If you watch my Insta stories, you’ve likely seen @joovsocial’s red light therapy is a part of my morning routine (I have the Mini 3.0). You’ve also probably noticed that I read for an hour every night in red light (LED red lightbulbs here). @olivihuh and I chatted about morning and night routines on the latest Kombuchat episode, and I even have a whole light vibes highlight dedicated to my mood lighting obsession… but anyway! Today I’m sharing the benefits of red light therapy with you:
When I was little, I wanted to be a radio dj the worst way- I used this cassette recorder to sample my favorite radio songs & mix and match vibes like I was running a show. 😂 I also called in to stations all the time requesting tunes (um am I aging myself here? ...maybe? definitely. but um yeah that was a major slumber party move & I’m owning it.)…
I remember the high that I used to get walking into this venue & so many others before a show. ✨ I used to show up quite early as a concert photographer- I loved meeting with everyone who worked the venues, making small talk, watching the opener & crew setup, taking some test shots, photographing early crowd members. And the rush was even higher when…

As mentioned on my stories this week on on the ‘gram, @olivihuh & I are launching our bb project @kombuchatpod soon! 🎙We’re so excited!!
So many of you have reached out this past year about being at a crossroads.
Maybe you lost your job, maybe it disappeared overnight like so many of us in the event world, or maybe you started working from home & realizing - this gig isn’t for me. Whatever it might be, there is no greater time than now to reinvent yourself. Seriously! You have more tools at your fingertips than any human in history…
Sunday Routine: Slow morning (this is key), take my time making breakfast, work on a few of my own project goals (nothing busy or task-driven, more like big picture), yoga in the afternoon, breathwork whenever I want to reset, some good self-care stuff (face mask, body scrub, etc.)…
I’ve had so many of you reach out about how to find a side hustle so that you can start a #smallbusiness or #freelance your skillset and eventually quit your day job and set your own rules, both of which I started doing a couple of years ago and now make a full time income from! But how do you get started? How do you figure out what you might like to do? Here are 3 tips to start discovering direction:
2020 made me rethink everything I was doing: work, travel, my time and where I choose to spend it, everything; all of it. This whole life thing got shaken up this year but we made it bb! And life feels beautiful today! 2020 taught me not to take anything for granted & it’s made me stronger. I re-prioritized for the better & I’m ready to hit 2021 #ontherun…
