Between the frigid weather and our recent vacation, I’ve had plenty of time to curl up and read. Here are some of the books I’ve finished recently along with my thoughts on them. Have you read any of them? Be sure to scroll down and tell me in the comments whether you agree with my review and leave me recommendations for what to read next! Becoming by Michelle Obama Just when I thought I couldn’t love the Obamas more, I…

I generally think blog posts about goals are pointless, because does anybody really care what anyone else’s goals are except their own? No? Yes? I don’t know, maybe I’m just a narcissist. I swear though, if I see one more person talking about ‘Tidying Up’ I’m going to smash my wine glass on the floor. Just kidding. I would never do that. Anyway, to turn around and completely negate what I just said, I’m doing a blog post about my…
That’s it. I’m a believer. It’s been two months—wow, time flies—since I decided to cut sugar from my diet, and I’m never going back. At least I hope not to. I haven’t cut out sugar completely (for a recap of how this all started and what I cut first, read this post), but I’ve cut out most sugar-filled foods like cereal, candy, soda, processed foods and baked goods, except for the occasional treat, and I feel good. I’ve had some…
Whew. It’s been a hot minute since I’ve shown my face around here. If blogs could accumulate cobwebs, I’d have some serious housekeeping to do. Thank god that’s not a thing. The last couple months haven’t been the greatest. In fact, they’ve been shit. If you follow me on Instagram, you may have seen my recent post sharing some sad news; on November 1, my cat Rick, who I’ve had for twelve years, passed away. He fell ill out of…
It’s been a whirlwind couple of weeks around here, and a lot has changed since my last post. Namely, our zip code. We moved! Our new home is in Island Park, a coastal little town in southern Long Island about half a mile from the Atlantic Ocean. We’ve been officially living here for just over a week now and it feels great. Living in New York City was an awesome experience. The culture, the people, the hustle and bustle, the…
Since John and I have been together we’ve moved six times, three of those times across state lines. Every time, as we’re loading up the boxes, I step back and wonder, “how do we have so much?” With every move we sell, donate or trash the things we don’t really need, and yet every time, there’s so. much. stuff. My mom’s garage still holds about 10 boxes of our crap that we couldn’t bring with us on our most recent…
I’ve lived in New York for 18 months now and the time has flown by. Our lease on our apartment in our West Harlem neighborhood is about to be up and we’re figuring out our next move, which makes me think back to when we were deciding where to live in the first place. Moving to New York City is daunting. Especially if you’re coming in without a neighborhood in mind or any real knowledge of the city like we…
