Welcome to Ladies in Cities!

Hello Sign via SlippinSouthern on Etsy
 
Hi there, thanks for visiting us! We’re so excited to start blogging around here.
 
We are a group of lady friends living in different U.S. cities after graduating from Indiana University in 2010. Because we don’t get to spend much time together these days, we decided to start a blog to chronicle and share experiences from our respective cities. Plus, blogging sounded pretty fun!
 
We hope that our adventures inspire you to explore your own surroundings, take advantage of the unique offerings in your area, and really take everything in - because life is happening NOW, and it’s our privilege and duty to fill it with as much joy and discovery as we can! Our posts may also serve as informal travel guides for out-of-towners looking for things to do in any of our cities.
 
First, a little about us:
 
After spending her formative years in the Midwest, Genevieve, 25, now lives and works on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC. She spends her free time practicing yoga, hanging out with other people’s dogs, and exploring our nation’s capital. She recently began a yoga teacher training program with Yoga District, and her role models include her mother (hi, Mom!), Beyoncé, Jane Goodall, and Gloria Steinem.
 
Originally from the suburbs of Chicago, Dorothy, also 25, has recently returned to the Windy City to work for a community-based nonprofit. She lives on the North Side, and can usually be found walking around the city in pursuit of a chocolate croissant, trying to keep her houseplants alive, or practicing yoga. She strives to live life like her favorite fictional heroines: Anne Shirley and Leslie Knope.
 
Colette, 25, is a recent law school graduate living in downtown Indianapolis, Indiana. While studying for the bar this summer, she is bartending at a downtown bar to make ends meet. When she isn’t studying or working, she is playing with her new puppy (Bugsby!), watching the news (not Fox, though), cooking or baking, and doing yoga.
 
At 26, Magnolia is a Georgetown University graduate student living in Alexandria, Virginia. Born and raised on a farm outside Louisville, Kentucky, she loves southern food, bourbon, farm animals, and spending time outdoors. She can be all sugar, but quickly turns to spice if you leave your manners at home. She’s usually most comfortable with a giant cup of coffee in hand with headphones humming classic rock tunes.
 
Happy reading!
 
Love,
 
The Ladies
