I don’t understand how anyone could NOT be listening to podcasts nowadays. Hello?! It’s the ultimate source of inspiration, motivation, personal development, and education – fuh FREE. And trust me… if you’re someone who is thinking “Nah, I don’t need that stuff,” then you probably need it even more. The most successful people in the…

Okay, I promise this will be my last 30th birthday-related post. For a while, at least. (Random celebrations keep popping up all over the place.) The weekend after my b-day party, one of my bffs (Rae) took me out for a one-on-one brunch so we could catch up, rant about anything pissing us off, pig…

One of my favorite birthday treats this year was a classic New York City night out with one of my writing clients, Tracy from Tracy’s New York Life. And nothing is more classically “NYC” than a Thursday night out at a musical, followed by dinner at an iconic restaurant. Last fall, Tracy took me to…

The music world suffered a huge blow last week, to say the least. There’s really no need to go into the details of Prince’s unexpected passing – from the Empire State Building to the Eiffel Tower, the world has been lit up with purple lights as a tribute to his musical legacy. In case anyone…

When my friend Bekki was in town for my birthday about a week ago, she treated me to eyelash extensions as one of my b-day presents. I was a little iffy about the idea at first, thinking the upkeep would be too high maintenance or that I didn’t have the proper oil-free eye makeup products;…

On Saturday, April 9th, I officially entered the “Dirty Thirties” club. Like any other night out around the city, I knew it’d be fun – but my fabulous friends made it even better than I had ever imagined. For the first time all year, I actually took a three-day weekend off (workaholics and hustlas can…

Birthdays are always a good time for reflection. Being a “personal development” nerd, I’m always listening to podcasts and journaling, trying to figure out what the hell is wrong with me and/or how I can better myself going forward. One barrier to happiness I finally noticed is this: I always look at the past as…

I don’t even remember when I started watching Full House. Maybe I was four-years-old. Five? Either way, I know one thing: I have always had a girl crush on Stephanie Tanner (Jodie Sweetin). Not only was Stephanie’s catch phrase – “How rude!” – my favorite, but she was also the funniest of the Tanner girls.…

After working in the fashion industry for more than a decade, I created this little game that I like to play: I look at a designer’s collection and try to guess what their inspiration was behind it. Whether it’s because I have a relatively strong knowledge of art and history, or if it’s because I’ve…

Welcome to mah ‘hood! If you see me constantly mentioning the Upper East Side or featuring the area in my posts, there’s a reason for that: I live here. Everyone has their own favorite part of NYC, but I can’t imagine living anywhere else in the city. In a recent article I wrote for Tracy’s…
