“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! In fact, I went to Paris with eight friends, both old and new, to go see Taylor Swift perform. Some say basic, others say iconic. If […]
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 […]
Some people dream of winning the lottery. Others dream of driving a fancy sports car. While both of those would be cool with me, I tend to dream of getting paid to read books whenever I want. Until the genie shows up at my door, I’ll keep doing that in my free time. This year, […]
Unless you happen to live on Mars, you know how much of a wardrobe staple leather pants have become over the past few winters. They’re sexy and sleek, they go with everything, and they keep the warmth in. What’s not to love? I took to Instagram stories earlier today to crowdsource where everyone has been […]
Surprise…I froze my eggs last month!

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 […]
As promised, I’m back with more Emily in Paris outfit dupes! After all, not all of us have the seemingly limitless salary of a fictional marketing associate living abroad. Colorfully yours, Haley Episode 6 Trendy Trench A metallic trenchcoat, sequined polka dot sweater and patterned shorts? Only Emily could make this look très chic. Dreamy […]
Whether you hate-watch or fully embrace the kitsch like I do, chances are you’ve taken part in the phenomena that is Emily in Paris on Netflix.
