Ahhhhhhhh. Where to begin? I’m back at work today after the most amazing two weeks of my life in which I A) got married and B) went on my honeymoon, and despite being back in New York for two days already, I still feel like I’m walking around in a fog. Here’s the thing about getting married that’s hard to anticipate beforehand: it’s the most emotionally overwhelming thing you’ll probably ever do until you have a child (I’m just guessing…

I’m gonna be completely honest and admit that I always thought most brides were kind of exaggerating about how much work goes into planning a wedding. You pick some colors, hire a few people, taste a bunch of cake and call it a day, right? Right. Totally not right. I guess it’s kind of like how I imagine stay-at-home moms must spend all day chilling on the couch watching Days of Our Lives until 3 p.m. when it’s inevitably time…
Five weeks from now I’ll be hopping on a plane to Florida, picking up my dress, doing a little drive across the state and, barring any unforeseen acts of God or nature (I shouldn’t even joke about that), getting married. Eeek! Wedding planning is weird. You do a ton of stuff up front like booking the venue, shopping for your dress and the other big things. Then there’s this whole middle lull where there’s not much to do except Google…
Let’s face it, ladies. In these trying times, what we need are strong female role models who will act as trailblazers for our gender and inspire us to be the best versions of ourselves. Michelle O and Queen Oprah are doing an okay job I guess, but I know a tribe of women who can really light a fire underneath us. They’re beautiful. They’re wealthy. They’re gracious. Well, two out of three ain’t bad. They’re the Real Housewives of Bravo,…
The city is an amazing place… but it’s also an exhausting one. From the traffic to the noise to all. of. the. people, sometimes you just need to get out! For me this happens at least a couple times a month. When cabin fever (shoebox apartment fever?) strikes, here are seven of my favorite places to get away from it all. All of them make for an easy day trip, and the majority of them are accessible even without a…
I moved to New York City at arguably the worst possible time for a Floridian, at the start of December just before the weather started to dip below the freezing mark. I’d lived in a cold climate before, but when I’d settled in Florida a few years earlier I was fairly certain it was for good and said sayonara to most of my winter gear. Whoops. Not only did I have to completely re-stock my closet for snow and ice…
One of my friends recently posted something on Facebook that stopped me in my tracks (thanks, Jose!). He wrote, “Remind yourself that sometimes doing too much can be as damaging as doing too little. Your mind and body do have their limits.” Actual footage of my reaction: When I saw it, I was in the middle of doing one of my most favorite things, standing in front of a laundromat washing machine stewing. The machine had had two minutes left…
