New York City is home to an overwhelming number of entrepreneurs, freelancers and artists. *Proudly raises hand.* And with that, comes the tedious yet necessary need for marketing and promoting your brand. After almost six years of trying to make it in NYC, I’ve learned some awesome tips regarding self-promotion, marketing and networking, which you…

I think the best beauty ingredients and practices are those that have been around for thousands of years. Exfoliation and coconut oil, for example, are nothing new. We just market it in a shiny new package. Ancient cultures from around the world all have unique beauty secrets that still benefit the modern woman. Check out…

Feeling exhausted after this week? Yeah, me too. So I’m gonna hold off on addressing the country’s events for now (but trust me, it’s coming) and just blog about something simple and random – coloring. I love to color. Maybe it’s because a big part of me is still 5 years-old, but I was super…

Unfortunately, my French speaking skills began to slip after moving back to the states, because… well… if you don’t use it, you lose it. So I was excited when my BFF Rae booked us in for a boozy brunch one weekend at PMF – Pardon My…

As a writer who works from home, my daily uniform is usually something along the lines of yoga pants, a tank top, and a messy bun. (I know… so basic bitch.) Apparently, this type of lifestyle – i.e. “sporting active wear all day, even if you never make it to the gym” – has become…

In case you haven’t heard, sushi is bomb. And it blows my mind when anyone who doesn’t come from a third-world country hasn’t at least tried the amazingness that comes in the form of a crunchy spicy salmon, eel avocado, or soft shell crab roll. In my mind, there’s no place that can compare to…
