I cannot believe it’s been so long since I posted to the blog. I knew adjusting to a completely new life would take a good chunk of my attention, but I guess I didn’t realize how few and far between the moments of downtime would be. Or the fact that when I do have downtime, […]
It has been almost two weeks since I last posted to the blog, which makes me so sad! But, my temporary disappearance from the blogosphere has been for an exciting reason. If you haven’t heard yet, I’m moving to Connecticut! I’ve accepted a position as Junior Copywriter for vineyard vines in Stamford. Needless to say, […]
I always say things like “I can’t wait until I can afford to do all my grocery shopping at Whole Foods” or “I wish eating healthy wasn’t so freaking expensive.” Well, I’m not going to say these problems have totally been solved, but I am getting there! I recently signed up for Thrive Market, an online […]
While most people swear by Spotify or Pandora, I’ve been a diehard 8tracks groupie for years now. Granted, their app isn’t the most reliable in regards to technical issues, but I swear by the content. You can use tags for any mood, artist, activity, etc. Even your most obscure moods will find an accompanying playlist on 8tracks. […]

Much to our elders’ confusion and dismay, online dating has become the go-to way for our generation to connect with potential partners. The way I see it, our peers are divided into two groups: those that use apps or websites to date, and those that pretend not to use apps or websites to date. From […]
My mother is one of the most selfless, caring people I know. But there’s no argument – she’s not a sentimental lady. Our family nickname for her is “The Little General” because she runs a tight ship, even at five feet tall. That’s why when she sent us all an email with a very sentimental […]
November is National Diabetes Month. The goal is to spread awareness of the disease that is so often misunderstood and stigmatized. As I mentioned in my diabetes series earlier this fall, diabetes kills more people per year than AIDS and breast cancer combined. Type 1 diabetes is responsible for an estimated loss of life expectancy […]
Note: You may have wondered why there was no post in my diabetes series last Friday. Due to some shipping delays, I had to hold off – but better late than never, right? Enjoy! After some pretty heavy posts last week, I think it’s time to brighten things up. Literally. As I’ve briefly mentioned in […]
