@justfabonline is one of my favorite places to shop online 💕 their shoes seem to be good quality so far, and their clothes all got as expected 🌞 lemme tell ya, I usually hate shopping for shoes online! But the sizes with JustFab are pretty predictable, thank goodness 👢 where do you like to shop online?

I'm so grateful for the time that I spent in Seattle 💕 Let's hope that my time here in Missouri will be just as awesome! 🌼 There aren't as many snow-capped mountains here, but gosh am I excited to try cajun food 😋 Plus, it's nice knowing that I'm closer to everyone back home 🏡 Don't worry, I'm almost done with talking about Seattle so much 🙊 There's just a few more pics I wanna share first! 🖼️ (I don't have a lot going on in my life, can you tell? 😳)

I never made that boba like I said I would 😳 but looking thru my snapchat memories is really encouraging me to give it a shot 💪 because OMG I want boba milk tea so bad 😩 none of that southern sweet iced tea, thanks 🙅‍♀️ when will more Hong Kong style boba tea or Taiwanese fruit tea places open up in the Midwest? 🤔

If your friends are mean to you for 'fun' (and you

If your friends are mean to you for 'fun' (and you don't like it), get new friends!🥀 People will show you how they feel🌹

Street art is my favorite kind of art 🛣️ I used to pass by this every day on my way home from work in Seattle 🚶‍♀️ I love her! 💕 She's just a couple of curved lines, a zigzag, and some wavy lines, but she has so much personality 〰️ Do you like street art? 👀

One of my fav cafes in Seattle was Cherry Street Coffee 🍒 gotta find a new fav, now! 🤭 Got any recommendations?

Aren't these pretty? 🌸I haven't seen any flowers like this in Missouri, only pear blossoms 🍐

This building in Bellevue, WA caught my eye every time I passed it
🏙️
The repetition of form, the way it catches and contrasts the light, and it's impressive height all make this building beautiful, in my opinion
🌞
Typically, I like more ornate architecture, or something with a little more life to it
⚜️
But the big boring office buildings out west can look pretty good, too, I guess
🤭

This sticker made me think of highschool. Our mascot was Ellet the Orangeman and I WISH that he looked like this 💪🍊😂
What was your highschool mascot?

"It is you who moved the world" and don't you forget it! 😎

It's been a while since I've made these choco-clementine madelines, and I'm dying to make them again!
😋
But it'll have to wait until next week, which is perfect because that'll give me time to plan out some fun flavor experiments!
🐢
I'm thinking maybe chocolate turtle madelines?
🤤
What do you think?
👀

Well, I've officially checked in for my flight tomorrow!
✈️
How am I spending my last day in Washington?
👀
By working...
🥲
What can I say, the extra hours hep!
💰
Don't worry, I've got another job lined up in [redacted]! But I don't have my security license yet, so I won't be able to start right away.
⏳
Which is PERFECT, because that means I'll have more time to explore and write about the city!
😍
As for the flight, it's nearly 4 hours nonstop, so I'll be reading The Sorrows of War by Bao Ninh!
📖
How do you like to pass time on planes?
🤔

J'adore le Kouign-Amann de @lexperienceparis !
🇫🇷
Avec fromage du chèvre, tomate, et graine de pavot, c'est vraiment parfait!
😋
If you find yourself in Seattle, do yourself a favor and make a trip to L'expérience Paris in Mercer Island or Bellevue for some of the best French pastries and espresso drinks in the area!
🥐
Do you like European style coffee?
☕

I took this picture during my first week in Seattle, so it seems funny to me that I'm posting it during my last week here 🧡
.
With all the excitement from reading about the new city I'm moving to, it hasn't really hit me that this is my last week here until, well, right now! 😵
.
As excited as I am to see somewhere new, I think I'll miss Seattle at least a little. 🌧️
.
But that's okay! My mom has always wanted to visit here and I'm 100% definitely gonna bring her here and show her around some time after COVID! 💕
.
Do you have any post COVID travel plans? 👀

It's a drizzly day here in Seattle, perfect for a big cozy cardigan
🌧️
And what goes better with a cardigan than pretty pins!
🦋🧷
Well, I'll tell you what....
👀
You already know what I'm gonna say
😋
The best thing for a drizzly day
💖
Is a good latte!!
☕
What's your favorite rainy day treat?

I'm not sure what this is. Clearly, it's a large safety pin with glass beads on it.
🧷
But does it mean something?
🧮
Or is it purely decorative?
🖼️
I've seen a couple of them around Seattle.
👀
Do you have any ideas?
🤔

I've been trying to cut back on coffee, but gee is it hard! Especially with a cup as cute as this one 🍄
.
It's a tough tug of war. On the one hand, I'm tired of coffee-stained teeth. But, on the other hand....mmmm, coffee ☕
.
Who's really gonna see my teeth under this mask anyways though, right?👀
.
And on that note, I think it's time for another cuppa! 😋
.
I take mine with sweet creme, no sugar. How about you?💕

It's been a while, everyone! I wish I could say I'

It's been a while, everyone! I wish I could say I've been busy, but....I haven't 🥴 I've got some news that I haven't ~officially~ posted on Freshly Stale yet....
✈️
I'm leaving Seattle!
😱
That's right, after nearly a year here, I'm finally moving on
🚶‍♀️
Where am I going?
🤔
I'll leave that a surprise, for now.
😉
There's still so many things from Seattle that I want to show you, so I'll be doing my darndest to post more before I leave on March 23rd!!
💪
This will be the 13th time I've moved, although it will only be the 3rd state I've lived in, and I am SO READY FOR IT!!
🤩
Do you like moving?
