volunteer now: because it’s not all about me.

Sunday, February 8th, 2009

The very best thing I’ve done for myself all week? Hauled myself out of bed, threw on a coat, mainlined some coffee, and rode the subway into the city for 3.5 hours of meal prep on behalf of New York Cares. Not only did I meet some wonderful folks while I was buttering bagels, […]

dumbass, leave the store! you cannot afford this!

Monday, February 2nd, 2009

Sometimes we need tough love. That can come in form of a sweatpants intervention, or a familial reminder that getting tattoos in Asian characters whilst drunk may not be the best idea, or smacking yourself in the changing room of a boutique.
Lately, it seems as if I’ve developed a little problem with […]

volunteer now: because it shouldn’t just be about you!

Friday, January 30th, 2009

This past year I’ve been enormously blessed personally and professionally. I’ve finally come to the realization that I can create the life that I want instead of living the life dictated to me, or being obsessed with following the plan. I don’t need to be a VP, owning a Tribeca loft apartment and wearing […]

all about the hustle: making extra $$$

Thursday, January 22nd, 2009

Yesterday, while I nearly collapsed on the Nautilus Stair Climber, I started reading an article in the most recent issue of Time Out New York about the rather ingenious ways in which many resourceful New Yorkers are making some extra needed income. From turning the hallway of your uptown apartment into a mini boutique […]

Lizzy Grant on Cheap Thrills, Elvis, The Flamingos, Trailer Parks, and Coney Island

Tuesday, January 20th, 2009

New York City songstress Lizzy Grant makes her debut into the music world with a video for her single, “Kill Kill.” Armed with her three-track EP, devastatingly retro-sexy look, and haunting, soulful voice, Grant is one to watch in 2009. Lizzy Grant is the kind of singer/songwriter that walks into your home and has […]

I heart the iPhone!

Tuesday, January 20th, 2009

The girls, Ruckus the Dog, and I celebrate the love that is the Mac store in NY’s meatpacking district. I’m still futzing with my new phone, figuring out how to take screenshots, and floored by the incredible GPS, Shazam, and “Around Me” apps. If you have any recommended apps or tips, please share!

how do you curl up when the temperature dives to single digits? *free book alert!*

Friday, January 16th, 2009

I ventured outdoors today (because I equate writing indoors to re-enactments of certain scenes from The Shining) and my god, I think my laptop caught a touch of frostbite during the two-mile walk to the local tea lounge. Even through the multitude of layers I felt the frigid cold, and I couldn’t wait to […]

how to host a clothing swap!

Thursday, January 15th, 2009

Twice a year I have about 20-30 of my friends over for crumb cake, coconut banana bread, and luscious cupcakes. And while they’re dropping miniature sugar cubes into their tea and marveling over the spread, I smile and knowingly nod because the fun has only just begun. The girls know that as soon as […]
