If you’ve ever received a gift from me, there’s a pretty significant chance I ordered it from Etsy. My obsession with the site started in college: I was a student on a tight budget but still wanted to find thoughtful, customized items for my friends and family.

“Waiiiit, did you go to Paris?!” – my boyfriend, sarcastically replying to my third consecutive social media post about my trip So, you may have heard…I went to Paris!

My latest obsession was not on my bingo card: habit tracking. I’ve admittedly fallen into such a rut these past few years while working from home. I roll out of bed right before I have to log on for the day, giving me no time to prepare—let alone connect with myself. I’ve gotten less into […]

Phew, it’s been three years since I shared any podcast recs with you. Blame it on the pandemic—once working from home became the norm, my podcast listening disappeared with my subway commute. As I’ve gotten into a consistent #HotGirlWalk routine and begun heading into my office once a week, I’ve picked the old hobby back […]
I’ve been promising (or is it threatening?) to write this blog post for months. If you’re one of my friends IRL, you’ve most likely heard me talk—ok, maybe gush—about Melissa Wood Health. It’s an online fitness-and-then-some platform by Melissa Wood Tepperberg, a wellness influencer. Sure, you might be rolling your eyes at the phrase “wellness […]
