It’s been a whirlwind around here lately. I spent this past weekend in the Catskills celebrating my birthday, and the weekend before that had a few friends in visiting from out of town. I can’t believe I haven’t yet had a chance to share the highlight of my month: my bachelorette party. When my closest girlfriends brought up getting the ball rolling on planning a bachelorette party for me, I’m not going to lie, it stressed me out. I’m lucky…

I turn 30 tomorrow. It’s supposed to be this major milestone, but I’ve barely given it a second thought—that is until I looked at my calendar and realized the day (THE day) is tomorrow and holy shit I’ll be 30. I swear it should be at least another month away. 30 always seemed so old when I was 18 or 22 or even 25, looking into the future thinking about it. And yet old is the last thing I feel.…
First off, I’m so relieved that Irma finally decided to GTFO of Florida without catastrophic damage. Yes, the damage was bad in some areas, yes many people are still without power, but it was nothing like it could have been. They were calling for a lot of the state to receive as much as 15 feet of storm surge, which would have put thousands of homes underwater. So far, most of my friends and family have received some flooding, a…
Did you know you can read Kindle books on your iPhone?! Mind. Blown. I discovered this about six months ago, and since then it’s been a blessing and a curse. I’ve always been a hardcore REAL BOOKS ONLY holdout, insistent that words on paper are the only truly satisfying way to experience a great read. For the record, I still believe this and plan to one day add my most recent favorites to my collection in paperback or hardcover form,…
I just got back from a whirlwind trip to Florida to try on my wedding dress (!) and spend a couple quick days with family. No matter how short the trip, I always try to squeeze in at least a few hours of beach time when I’m back in the Sunshine State, and that usually includes an ice cold beer on a dock, deck or patio of some sort. I’ve spent time all over Florida throughout my life: the Gulf…
Wedding planning is a hot topic in the blogging world, and yet it’s always been one that bores me to tears to read about. It’s not that I’m not interested in what other brides choose to do for their weddings. I’m actually quite nosy about it. I want to judge your garish bridesmaid dresses and see whether he cried during the first look. It’s just that there are so. many. details. It’s no surprise, then, that the details are what’s…
Dear August in New York, I’m in love with you. Everyone who told me the heat and the steaming piles of garbage were going to be unbearable has clearly never spent a summer at the gates of hell, AKA South Florida. Dear motorcycle riders, nobody thinks it’s cool when you blast out our eardrums taking off from a stoplight. It makes me want to go buy a car again just so I can ‘tap’ you with it. #ouch Dear Time…
