Hello, friends! Writing for my blog has taken a bit of a backseat recently because I’m doing so much writing for clients (woot woot!). From now on I will be posting once a month instead of weekly, which feels more sustainable. Follow me on Instagram if you like inspirational quotes and little peeks inside my life; I post there often. Now, onto... Read More

Ah, February. The month of red & pink everything, conversation hearts, chocolate bonbons, romantic kisses, and single girl sadness. Although Valentine’s Day has good intentions, it tends to make the masses feel pretty inadequate. Sure, if you’re part of a couple, it’s fun to give each other thoughtful cards, maybe a surprise delivery of red roses to work, or even... Read More

I have a vivid memory of sitting at my dining room table in third grade, typing on my parents’ typewriter. It was an overcast Saturday and I was creating a story with a beautiful character–a young high school girl who had big dreams, pretty outfits, and lots of friends. It wasn’t an assignment from school. It was me simply putting my imagination on... Read More

Hello friends! I am so excited to share my first guest poster with you–my dear friend, fellow sorority sister, and awesome co-founder of Crop Tops & Kale, Dana Palumbo, aka D-Money. She is not only one of my favorite people in the whole wide world, but she is a brilliant writer, graduate of the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, and on a mission to... Read More

You know what I miss about being between the ages of 10-17? Slumber parties. Time spent in pink pajamas with girlfriends. Brushing each other’s hair. Dancing like maniacs to pop songs. Laughing hysterically until breathing becomes almost impossible. Being with a group of ladies you love and being totally real with them is not only fun, but a reminder that... Read More

Shockingly cold winds. Chapped lips. Dry skin. That’s what winter is made of! Here in New York, the weather has been bone chilling; the kind where it almost feels like wearing pants doesn’t matter because the cold air just slips right in (I must get the Uniqlo Heattech leggings everyone is raving about!). But most of all, the moisture is... Read More

Guess what? It’s been 11 days since I deleted Instagram off my phone and my addiction has completely subsided. I’m no longer mindlessly reaching for my iPhone every few minutes and it’s liberating! Admittedly, I have looked at the desktop version of the app briefly 4 times, but I’d say that’s pretty damn good all things considered. So what have I... Read More

When it’s freezing outside, I want nothing more than to stay wrapped up in a blanket on my couch with thick wool socks, a cup of warm chai tea, and one of the 4 books I’m currently reading. The beginning of winter–right after the high of the holidays–is likely the toughest time to feel really good about life and ready to take... Read More

It’s hard for me to believe we’ve arrived in 2015 already. That means it’s been 15 years since I was in high school riding around in my green Jetta with a giant motorola cell phone. Texting didn’t exist yet. Neither did Facebook or blogs. Life was simply full of moments spent being really immersed in my social life and the possibility of... Read More

I’ve spent the past six days down in Little Silver, NJ at my parents’ house. Arriving here to finally celebrate Christmas with my family always feels like a big cozy hug. I can forget about all of my adult responsibilities and revert back to being held in a loving space free of worry or stress. All I need to do is... Read More
