  • I miss these girls. I miss my family. I miss the mundanities of daily life. The longer we go into quarantine, the more obvious it becomes that our lives can be boiled down into two distinct categories. What we can and can’t live without. In a world where the words “unprecedented”, “uncertainty”, and “unknown” are so prevalent, there are some things that have become crystal clear. In the last decade, technological advancements have shifted our society toward a different kind of social life, one virtually dominated and only supplemented by in person interaction. In-person interactions made possible by advanced planning, scheduled into google calendars only after narrowly dodging the “life is busy” and “lets try to make it work” and the “work is really crazy right now” phrases that have become the norm. But now we are facing a new normal. As we sit here in our houses, our phone use has increased, but our social satisfaction has suffered tremendously. It has become evident that the connection we are so desperately seeking is a human one. In an era where we were once convinced technology could take over the world, we are reminded that we still carry the genetic predisposition our ancestors passed onto us. A deeply human need to connect face to face. Digital socialization will never compare to the dopamine rush we receive when we gather together in the same place. When we cannot only hear our loved ones laughter but feel it vibrating in the room. When we cannot only cheers a glass of wine but share the same bottle over a meal. Hell, the mere buzz of a restaurant, with a kaleidoscope of conversations and clang of kitchen plates filling the air has become an intoxicating daydream. For most of us, this is the longest we have gone without seeing a single member of our social circles, the people who in so many ways are the threads in the fabric of our identities. It is no wonder, for so many reasons, we are feeling a little lost, not quite ourselves. I hope when all this is over, we will remember what truly matters. What we can and can’t live without, always choosing the latter over the former 💛

  • First Valentine’s Day as husband and wife 🥰 Me: Honey I’m going to make us a nice roasted vegetable and maple spiced chickpea bowl for a little Valentine’s Day lunch! Taylor: “meh, how about sandwiches?” Married life is gong about how I expected. 😂🥰

  • The perfect day ✨ A few of my favorite snaps of the two of us on our wedding day a few months ago. Finally getting around to putting together some wedding blog posts and going through the photos again gave me all the feels! Wish we could do it all over again 🥰 Let me know if there is anything specific you’d like me to cover in the wedding process + day of recaps! xx, Kaylee

  • My favourite stroll in NYC 🍀 The high line is the only place we explored on our last trip that we revisited this time around. The park is built upon an old railroad line that used to transport goods like dairy and produce. The track even ran straight through buildings for ease of delivery. It was almost demolished but the community banded together and after an ideas competition this pedestrian park was born. (Another idea was to turn it into a mile long lap pool) The 1.45 mile park takes you all the way from Hudson Yards to the famous meatpacking district and I highly recommend grabbing a coffee and taking a wander. Finish with a trip through Chelsea Market. I wrote a massive blog post on the ultimate New York girls trip with the best hotels, restaurants, bars and things to do. Head to kaylchip.com in my bio for more. Xx Kaylee

  • Two weeks ago we got married at a place called the Bougainvillea Estate. These flowers lined the neighbourhood I grew up in in Palm Springs, and it felt like fate when we found the venue. Now these flowers have a whole new meaning ❤️
