That first full day back to work after New Year’s Eve/Day and following the conclusion of the holiday season can be and often is a disorienting and fully chaotic event. My Christmas decorations are still up, my sparkly heels from New Years are still on the floor by my bags – so how and why […]
The first couple of days immediately following Halloween feel like a bit of a fever dream. While I’m taking inventory of any leftover candy bars following Trick-Or-Treaters visiting from the night before and calculating how long it will take before I eat it all, I’m also driving by a mix of both spooky decorations and […]
It has been a long time since I’ve stepped foot in New York City, with my last day trip/weekend in Manhattan and Brooklyn taking place circa 2018/2019. I used to go fairly often – for parties, performances, pop-ups, or to visit with friends that were stopping by the area – but with COVID and my […]
