I'm always so amused when women say that they don't have any friends that are girls--they get a long better with guys. Um. Okay. Who is going to appreciate when you text a picture of your manicure you stayed up super late to do? Who's going to...

I went to the Met to see the new Punk: Chaos to Couture exhibit on Sunday. I was really excited, I dressed in my version of punk and headed to meet some new and old friends to indulge in the ultimate New York fare. An afternoon...

I need some time management skills. Either that or get used to not sleeping. I'm so tired I could put my head down at my desk and sleep. I haven't had a nap, an intentional nap, since I've moved to New York. There aren't enough hours in the...

Hey guys. I miss you--like eveeeeerrrryyydayyyy. Remember me? That girl who used to blog? I went home to Harrisburg two weekends ago for Mother's Day. Nothing puts things in perspective like sleeping in the bed you grew up in. I notice weird things like my comforter at...

Two Saturdays was one of those great New York moments, that I used to read about. Or see on Sex and the City. I brought together old friends, made new ones and all for Sauza de Blogo. What? Sauza de Blogo. Sauza Tequila tasked me with planning...
