We’re all living life in the digital age—and many of us are loving in it, too. As I’ve mentioned several times before, I’m no stranger (pun intended) to online dating. Neither is Eliza, the twenty-something protagonist of Hannah Orenstein’s novel, Love at First Like. Busy running a flourishing jewelry business in fast-paced New York City, […]
For some people, the highlight of the holiday season is decorating. For others, it’s finding a spot for the Elf on the Shelf. For me? It’s watching cheesy Netflix Christmas movies on my couch with a Frasier fir-scented candle burning in the background. As I gave my coworkers my rundown of the movies I watched […]
It’s that time of year again. As we swap our wardrobes over from sundresses and flip flops to sweaters and boots, it’s the perfect opportunity for an organizational overhaul.

Everyone has their own morning routine. Mine consists of pressing snooze about seven times and then finally panicking and shooting out of bed. I throw on clothes, brush my teeth and fly out the door—this all usually happens within a six minute period. And you thought I was high maintenance! Once I get to my […]
I’m bubbly, feminine, and bright. But I also love stories about murder and dark secrets. Go figure. I’ve been interested in this stuff for as long as I can remember…even though I was also afraid of my own shadow for many years. Since my commute to work has increased again, I’ve gotten back into the […]
Sometimes you just need a couple of days with an old friend to center yourself. Lucky for me, my friend Kate came to visit last weekend and we had the best time. I haven’t had a chance to post about it until now, but I definitely didn’t want to skip the recap because there are […]
