If you’ve ever seen photos of my apartment—or any of my past apartments—you know I live for fun wall art. From making a bold statement with a gallery wall to adding subtle personality to the bathroom, a picture is literally worth a thousand words. That’s why when I had the opportunity to collaborate with Poster […]
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. […]
I recently had my usual visit with my psychiatrist (not my therapist, but the doc that prescribes my medication). We talked about my problem with shallow breathing and panic attacks, and she asked what I’ve been doing each day to bring happiness into my life. I stared blankly at the Facetime screen. “You need to […]
I’ve been going to therapy once per week for about a year now. It’s the first time I’ve been consistent about it, and the first time I’ve developed a real connection with a therapist. The other day, my dad asked me if my anxiety was better. I told him that’s not really how it works. […]

I’ve spent so many years battling my body. Let me put that another way. I’m only 28, yet I’ve spent more than half of my life critiquing the skin I live in. When I type that out, it makes me so incredibly sad. Here I am, a strong, smart, kind woman—reducing my worth to the […]
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 […]
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 […]
For years, I used the same concealer by E.L.F. Thick enough to provide full coverage but not cakey, I never strayed from it. I had it in different shades for different seasons of paleness. Then, one day, I went to stock back up…and it was gone! I gave a different concealer of theirs a shot […]
