Binge Eating Issue

Posted on January 20, 2017January 20, 2017 Abby Hockman10 CommentsPosted in Lessons, Travel

About two weeks ago, I watched a YouTube video where the girl in it discussed a session with her therapist and a comment he made about her eating disorder. She was shocked – she was unaware she had an eating disorder. She went on to describe her experience with food, where she has a binge […]

VIDEO: Local Romanian Distillery

Posted on January 16, 2017January 16, 2017 Abby HockmanLeave a commentPosted in Travel, Video

After uploading the last post about our time at the distillery in Romania, I thought you might want to see a video. Something that made me laugh out loud was said by our host’s girlfriend. Jake had just described moonshine to the gang and I told her how surprised I was that the plum vodka was […]

Our Local Romanian Distillery

Posted on January 16, 2017January 16, 2017 Abby HockmanLeave a commentPosted in Recipe, Travel

We arrived to smiles and greetings in a beautiful language we could not understand beside a blazing fire after the sun went down on a chilly Romanian night. One of my favorite memories was made that evening among crushed plums, pig fat, ashen potatoes, and new friends. Here’s what happened… Our host mentioned to Jake […]

Thoughts on My Paris Engagement

Posted on January 15, 2017February 19, 2017 Abby Hockman6 CommentsPosted in Lessons, Travel

Unsure whether I was about to fall down a rabbit hole or have a month of joyous inner kumbayahs, I made the choice to go back to the epicenter of many years of pain in my life – Paris. The most romantic city on earth. It is where I became engaged during a two and a […]

Lapin à la Moutarde

Posted on January 15, 2017January 15, 2017 Abby HockmanLeave a commentPosted in Recipe, Travel

J’adore la cuisine française…I love French food. From the cereal breads at the nearest boulangerie to pig’s cheek at the bistro down the Rue, I am very truly starting to become obsessed. While out to dinner with my Parisian host at a standing room only bistro this past Friday night, sipping on free wine, sampling […]

VIDEO: Last Day in London

Posted on January 9, 2017January 16, 2017 Abby HockmanLeave a commentPosted in Travel, Video

Since I take over 500 photos each day and countless short videos, I will be updating the blog sporadically when there is a certain adventure from the road I’d like to share. The latest: Our last day in London and a shining example of how much of a fangirl I can be. This has happened […]

As long as Grams never finds my website or YouTube, we’re good! Click “Play” if you want to know too much about my life. (Also, I should clarify that I rarely have a drink, despite what it looks like in this video.)

One Year Without Makeup

Posted on January 4, 2017January 4, 2017 Abby Hockman6 CommentsPosted in Lessons, Travel

The dark circles under my eyes inspire people to ask me if I’m tired even when I’m not. One eye looks smaller than the other in photos, so I’m guessing it’s that way in real life. My eyelashes are light and I over-plucked my eyebrows in high school. I’m nearly 28 and still get occasional […]

Panic Attack in Naples

Posted on January 3, 2017January 3, 2017 Abby Hockman6 CommentsPosted in Lessons, Travel

The day had been a long one. I was combating some type of biting bugs, which entailed making a mad dash to and from the laundromat in order to catch a train from Rome to Naples. As the miles widened between me and La Città Eterna, I was sure the worst of my day was over […]
