It’s no secret that I’m a bookworm. That’s why book reviews have always been a feature I’ve tried to keep up with on the blog. Since January, though, I’ve been breezing through books and keeping note of titles, but haven’t taken the time to sit back and talk about them. I recently did a poll […]
Book Review: The Diana Chronicles
I was far too young to understand—or even notice, for that matter—the stardom Princess Diana held toward the end of her life and in the years after her untimely death. I hadn’t even turned six when she was tragically killed. The one thing I always associated with the Princess was the iconic royal purple Beanie […]
A Very Netflix Holiday: 2020 Edition
Here I was, tweeting away about a new Netflix holiday movie I was hate-watching, when my friend Mackenzie asked where my blog post was. I had completely forgotten that last year, I rated the streaming platform’s cheesy yuletide flicks. How could I?! I know today is Christmas Eve so it may seem like I dropped […]
Over Coffee: Week of Dec. 21
Happy Monday! This morning, as I was thinking about what sort of blog content I should focus on while I finally have a bit of a breather, I couldn’t nail down any particular topic. I kept feeling like there were a lot of “random” thoughts in my head that weren’t necessarily worthy of individual posts. […]
What Show Should You Binge Next?
So you just finished that epic show you got super into. Whether it took you one night or two months to finish it, you still have that familiar, incomplete feeling. That “now what?” moment. Since we’re going to be spending even more time than usual at home this winter, I wanted to lend a helping […]
Glamping on Governors Island
I may not be much of a camper, but I can totally get behind glamping. My best friend Annie and I had seen a post on Instagram (where else?) a few months back. It showed fancy tents on nearby Governors Island with a view of the Statue of Liberty. It seemed too good to be […]
Book Review: Campaign Widows
As we approach the most important election this country has ever held, to say things are politically charged would be a gross understatement. I’m sure I’m not alone in that I feel torn between the need to stay informed on all things political and the desire to hide under the covers, pretending it’s not happening. […]
Book Review: All the Time in the World
Like many of us, I tend to be drawn to books that seem to have strong parallels to my own life. That’s what made me pick up All the Time in the World by Caroline Angell. First of all, it takes place on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, where I live. Secondly, the protagonist […]
Book Review: Salt in My Soul
A month or two ago, I finished a powerful memoir that had been on my to-be-read list before it even came out. But it was a read I needed to sit with. As much as it shook me to my core—tears during the last several chapters included—I couldn’t just run to my computer and type […]
