Well, I’ve pulled a muscle in my back and have been confined to my bed. So there is no better time to start writing again right? Truthfully, it is the only way that I’ve stopped in the last couple of months. It has been a complete whirlwind. It definitely has not been an easy few … Continue reading »

Time to Disconnect
Tomorrow I’m heading to Europe for over a week. I’m incredibly unprepared. I’m going by myself.I couldn’t be less concerned. Wait. The event planner?? Completely unprepared? Yep. It’s weird. Really, I’m shocked how okay with it all I am. I mean, no doubt I will have a few minor freakouts. Probably tomorrow waiting for the … Continue reading »
Strand
Many moons ago, just when it was turning chilly, my mom and I ventured to The Strand bookstore to find some new/used books and wander the aisles. When you come to New York, we will go there and absolutely love this place. It’s kind of a big deal. The old books you find. The cheap … Continue reading »

Bike the Big Apple Tour
So my family has been visiting all week (more on that later), and on Sunday night, they had signed us all up for a bike ride… in Manhattan. When the Tennant family said that we were doing a 5-hour bike tour around New York, I was a little nervous. My outdoor adventure loving family was … Continue reading »
Outdoor Movie… ON A BOAT
First, I apologize for the crappy photos. Pictures at dusk are not fun/easy to take. Last Friday I got to experience one of those “New York things” that I had been wanting to experience since I moved here- an outdoor movie. Outdoor movies around New York City are a HUGE thing. Parks, rooftops, parking lots, … Continue reading »
The Perks of the Event Industry
Sometimes, being in events means you get to go to events. Especially in the summertime when everyone is dead slow and people want to generate some possible new events and clients to add to the calendar, venues will host industry events. And that was just the case on Tuesday night when me and the team … Continue reading »
PS1 Warm-Up!
This past Saturday, prior to being assaulted on the subway platform, I went to one of the coolest things I’ve seen New York offer thus far. The MOMA PS1 Warm-Up. Pretty much, it is a big outdoor party at MOMA’s PS1 in Long Island City, Queens where a variety of experimental bands and DJs perform … Continue reading »

SO HOT… a poem.
As I was sweating this morning in the shower, I realized that I was having a similar frustration with New York as I did this winter, except opposite with the temperature scale. Due to the fact that it is too hot to type full thoughts without sweating all over the keyboard, I’ve decided to write … Continue reading »
Dear Mr. Polo, I Don’t Like Your Butt… #YOLO!
You know a guy is full of himself (or a lady for that matter) when they are talking loud enough for the entire subway car to hear. “I’m just really savy at stocks you know? I mean, some people have lost but my shares are great.” “Man, grad school is so lame. Like, I flew … Continue reading »

The Beach Through Instagram
I didn’t take too many photos at the beach, mostly focused on unplugging, but what I did take, Instagram got them. Beach via Instagram- Ready, Set, Go! Can we go back already?
Beach Therapy
Sitting in the airport, waiting for my flight back to New York, I can’t help but think how amazingly successful this beach trip was. I mean- it was AMAZINGLY successful. So successful in fact that even the airport has been ideal, giving me a $400 flight voucher to take a later flight and free wifi … Continue reading »
