Overall, I Need a Break *BRB*

Living, working, & breathing this digital world we live in makes taking breaks very hard.

I signed up to be an open book, document my life, & to share my experiences w/ my **uhhh-mazing** readers… which really means that I need to be ON like 24/7 ish. Don’t get me wrong… it is FUN & I love my job. The fact I get to connect with people from all corners of this earth everyday literally never gets old!

BUT, it can get draining. I don’t want to take breaks, I want to keep going & going & going, but I am just recently coming to terms with the important of taking breaks. No matter if you’re a blogger, a 9-5er, or a stay at home mom- YOU GOTTA TAKE A BREATHER, for the sake of your sanity.

I was actually talking to my Mom the other day (if you follow me on Instagram, you know she is everything!!!), & I was just bitching about how hard it is for me to shut off. Her response was pretty spot on…. she said, “Erica. Your inbox is never gonna be empty. Go to bed.”

HA. I mean, it’s no new news… but for some reason that is just a bit of Mom wisdom that’s gonna stick with me. No matter how many times you empty your inbox, it’s gonna fill up again & you’re just gonna have to get on with your life because you will forever be working to clear that damn inbox.

Anyways- moral of the story, I am leaving town tomorrow & will be taking a break (sorta). I will be super active on social media and we will be documenting the trip along the way for a killer city guide when I get back… but the blog will be taking a breather so that maybe I can go to bed at a decent time for a week. I could really use some beauty sleep.

Plus, we are going somewhere super special to me so be sure to follow along on Instagram & Snapchat to see where we are headed.
