Coloring my way to calmness

August 26, 2016September 18, 20162 Comments

I love to travel, despite the fact that working full time puts constraints on my ability to travel as much as I would like to, and I am definitely prone to anxiety.I'm currently trying out a new way to not only express my inner wanderlust (and child), but get some stress relief. It's all thanks … Continue reading Coloring my way to calmness

A storm brewing over Cape May

August 21, 2016January 1, 2017Leave a comment

Finally decided it was time to give a one-piece bathing suit a try! This suit is definitely on the modest side, but I think the look is overall sleek and frankly, sexy!  While bathing suit season is slowly approaching it's end, I'm hoping these will continue trending next summer so I can slip into another … Continue reading A storm brewing over Cape May

Good vibes at Palma

August 19, 2016September 13, 20161 Comment

It's always fun to wander off the street and into a new great dinner spot-- discovering new places (without the help of social media) is one of my favorite things to do. It's even better to get the chance to do it with a childhood friend who literally brings to the table not just fun, … Continue reading Good vibes at Palma

Keep this in your back “Pocket”

August 18, 2016October 15, 2022Leave a comment

Tucked away on West 48th street, Pocket Bar is the perfect place for those looking for a cozy feel and a good drink.The best part? Depending on the night, you could get a mellow Broken Bells soundtrack OR you could get a roaring 90's-let your hair down-belt out some Spice Girls and Alanis Morissette- soundtrack. … Continue reading Keep this in your back “Pocket”

Just because it’s easy to overlook…

August 15, 2016September 18, 2016Leave a comment

Uncle Marios on the corner of 50th and 9th. Great pizza and with all the restaurants in Hell's Kitchen, it's easy to miss. I will say, however, if you're looking for a fine dining experience, this place isn't for you. The service is chaotic (it's a one-woman show and she's constantly yelling out orders as … Continue reading Just because it’s easy to overlook…

Two thumbs up for Two Hands

August 15, 2016Leave a comment

Headed down to Two Hands for some healthy goodness today. My budget-peasant-diet this week has consisted primarily of pizza and four days worth of pasta, so it was nice to get my hands on some fresh avocado toast! So yummy. I was dead set on getting an acai bowl, but I'm glad I ended up … Continue reading Two thumbs up for Two Hands

Beating the heat at Kith Treats

August 14, 2016August 14, 2016Leave a comment

Ben has been a longtime Ronnie Fieg fan, which is how I found out about Kith. I definitely owe my discovery of the "street wear" style to Ben and Kith is a major leader in the niche industry. We've been to both the Soho store and the Brooklyn store various times and we've had Kith … Continue reading Beating the heat at Kith Treats

Pasta at Bar Pitti

August 14, 2016October 15, 2022Leave a comment

I've been wanting to try Bar Pitti in the West Village for a while now, so I'm happy that we finally made it over there this weekend! I've heard a mix of reviews about it in terms of food and service, which made me slightly hesitant to suggest it to the group, but I'm really … Continue reading Pasta at Bar Pitti

West Village Wonderland

August 13, 2016September 18, 2016Leave a comment

I absolutely adore the West Village, yet hardly spend any time there. Today we just wanted to stay busy, so we headed down to SoHo and then up to the West Village to check out some thrift stores and wander around (and sweat all the toxins out of our bodies thanks to the extreme heat). … Continue reading West Village Wonderland

Cookie DŌ-light

August 7, 2016September 14, 2016Leave a comment

Finally got my hands on some DŌ cookie dough! This stuff is magical, but definitely best in small doses since it is ridiculously sweet. And one small container is enough for two people (Naturally, Ben and I each got our own). I ended up getting the cake batter flavor and Ben got the classic chocolate chip. Both … Continue reading Cookie DŌ-light
