I’m always looking for the best binge-worthy shows to add to my list on Netflix. What better way to use my time than by melting my brain with four consecutive hours of screen time? I mean, those late night hours would just be spent sleeping, anyway. Who needs that? That brings me to a few weeks […]
As a self-proclaimed grandma, I may not be big on “going out,” but I’m always looking for new daytime adventures. I love exploring different towns and trying new activities. The problem is, most of my friends live a plane ride away, so finding partners in crime can be a challenge. I’d seen a couple of Instagram […]
Once a year, the red carpet is rolled out for the people normally responsible for dressing it. I’m talking about the CFDA Awards – the awards ceremony put on by the Council of Fashion Designers of America. The best of the best fashion designers are recognized while editors, models and celebs strut their trendy stuff in […]
“If she packaged the perfect Facebook life, maybe she would start to believe it herself.” – Liane Moriarty, Big Little Lies If you’re a diehard Real Housewives fan like I am, this book by Liane Moriarty is the perfect read. Shows and books about the absurdly wealthy (and absurdly messed up) in suburban areas are […]

Maybe it’s just me and my sick social media addiction, but I get so excited when I find cool new accounts to follow on Instagram. From adorable puppies to trendy humans, my feed is always full of interesting photos. I figured I should share the wealth and compile a list of some of my favorite […]

That being said, I’ve combined some of the books I’ve enjoyed over the last couple of weeks into one review. Gotta make up for lost time! Happy reading, bookworms! If you’re in the mood for […]
I didn’t know who Elaine Stritch was until I watched her documentary Shoot Me this year – and I was completely mesmerized. Fearless, funny, and unforgettable. I can only hope that those are a few of the words that come to mind when someone describes me 67 years from now. Yup, that’s the head start […]
I recently read If I Stay by Gayle Forman, and here’s my full book review – what I loved, what fell short, and whether the movie might be better. Apparently, Gayle Forman’s novel If I Stay was published back in 2009. However, it caught my eye in recent months as it climbed atop all the […]
Actress Leighton Meester published a sort-of critique of John Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men in the Huffington post yesterday. I say ‘sort-of’ because Meester isn’t so much critiquing the story, but rather the reaction of the modern-day audience. During her four-month run as the only female – a nameless character, at that – in the […]
