The last couple of weeks have been a blur, but in the best possible way. I have found myself waking up each day excited to get to work and feeling like I am making a positive difference, in my own…
Summer Sights
Okay, so my sporadic posting schedule may be a regular theme for the remainder of the summer—please, bear with me. Working full-time, packing, cleaning, and looking for a new place to live, leaves seldom spare time for blogging, posting on…
The Weekend Recap: Spring Edition
I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and a happy Easter (and you aren’t suffering the lingering effects of a sugar coma). The weather on Easter Sunday reached a record high (around 75 degrees) and I was happily able…
The Friday Five
Goodbye, winter. Hello, spring (even if it does feel like winter is still lingering in the shadows). After suffering with back pain for the last week, I sure am glad to have two days off and no plans. Here’s to…
V for Verismo
What’s worse than running late in the morning? Running late and not being able to stop for coffee (that is the worst way to start a morning—especially on a Monday). As much as I love my morning pit stop at…
Pumpkin Pandemonium 2016
I feel like fall is slipping away from me. It’s almost the middle of October, and I have yet to go pumpkin and apple picking (thanks, Mother Nature), decorate a pumpkin, or even buy Halloween candy (it’s probably good that…
June Jaunts
It may only be Wednesday, but I’m looking ahead to the 4th of July already. The weather is supposed to be near perfect, and I have some time at the beach and fireworks penciled in for the long weekend. I…
Relaxing and Recapping
We got lucky with a few rather warm days in May recently. Of course, I’ve taken full advantage of the nice weather, debuted my white jeans (as if I needed an excuse), and sipped on cool iced coffees. If the…
Caffeine, Coffee, and Cravings
I know I’m feeling better when I start craving my morning cup of coffee. Whether you refer to it as liquid gold, morning motivation, or just regular old joe, I’m sure you have a favorite coffee house that you frequent,…
Insta-instants
Happy Friday! I always look forward to Memorial Day weekend, which is the “unofficial” start of summer. This year is no exception. I am attending my second kickboxing class on Saturday (let’s hope I’m not sore for four days again!)…
Do What Makes You Happy
I’ve been thinking a lot about what makes me happy, both personally and professionally. The above photo is from a small jewelry dish that I picked up in a boutique in San Francisco last month. Its message resonated with me,…
Monday Musings
Winter is slowly creeping up on us. Last week was freezing and felt more like mid-December than November (although we managed to escape the snow that blanketed upstate New York!). It was the perfect time to unpack the sweater dresses…
