Is it possible to get just one more day of this past weekend to stretch into today so that I can sleep a little later and recover from a couple of busy days spent with some of my dearest friends and family? It’s not that I don’t want to go to work and get things […]
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 […]
Happy Monday and hello, December! I have to admit that going back to work first thing this morning is not particularly ideal, partly because I’m still in a bit of a food coma but mostly because these last few days were so fun and busy that I feel like a long nap is in order […]

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 […]
