If you follow along on social media or have been around me in the past week, you’re well aware that last week’s snowstorm derailed a trip to Amsterdam and Paris that had been in the works for months. Everything was booked, paid for, scheduled, locked, loaded and packed - but unfortunately, Kelly, Harley, Ally and …
I’m really excited to report that I’m at the tail end of another successful Dry Lent (and by tail end I mean, when Kelly gets here from the airport tonight we’re cracking open a bottle of Pinot Noir!!). A lot of people have asked me how this years’ experience has compared to last year’s… and …
A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of being a guest on Progress Loading, a podcast that my close pals Mat & Miles started in November. (What a phonetically pleasing friendship, right?). When they invited me on I was thrilled, not just because I love to hear myself talk but also because I’d been …
It’s that time of year again… DRY LENT, Y’ALL! Two most common questions I’ll get these next 40 days: 1) Are you insane 2) Are you super catholic Answers: Maybe a little, and no, not really. I wasn’t actually planning on doing dry lent again this year, but after falling victim to one of the …
I know it’s kind of late for New Years wokeness, but better late than never, right? 2017 was an insane year for me. So much happened and the year moved so quickly that there was barely any time to process the milestones as they occurred. I moved to Manhattan, navigated a pretty confusing dating scene, …
Recently, my 13-year-old cousin DM’d me on Instagram lamenting about some boy troubles. Basically, this boy she had a fling with told her via Snapchat that he didn’t like her like that anymore and she was crushed. Of course, she was! I was crushed for her. What a little douchebag. Unfortunately, though, I could relate …
Nothing gets a gal more worked up than a first date. NOTHING. Recently, first-dates have come up in conversations with a handful of my friends (of both genders), and these chats sparked some self-reflection on how much I’ve learned about dating since moving to the city. Despite my dating-app hiatus, I thought I’d throw together …
2017 took a major toll on my body. I fell out of a really great workout routine - in 2016 I ran a half marathon and was going to Crunch regularly, taking classes, etc. Earlier this year I switched to NY Sports Clubs as an attempt to save money, which ended up being a big …
I. am. expensive. I loveee boujee things. I get off on spending $6.00 on a latte... I love manicures, things that are “naturally essenced”, lavender satchels from the farmers market, Anthropologie candles, AND OTHER BULLSHIT LIKE THIS . That said, after a year and a half of living in NYC and racking up a *not …
As I find myself on a quest to debunk the myths of NYC young-adulthood, I thought it would be an appropriate exercise to document what a real night out in New York looks like. Let me preface the following: when I left work on Friday, I was very much looking forward to a low-key night …
