Goals for 2014

Now that the New Years champagne has been drunk and the confetti has fallen it’s time to make those resolutions. I’m a little hesitant to call them resolutions since the word resolution implies making and sticking to a firm decision, but rather, I’d like to call them goals because these are things I am ambitious…

Favorite Moments of 2013

Welcome to 2014! I hope everyone had a great New Years. My New Years Eve was so much fun, but that made for a very rough New Years day. Let’s just say my skiing experience wasn’t the best…oops. We also got snowed in here in Boston, so it was quite exciting to miss some work…

Blurred Lights

One of my Christmas gifts this year was the Nikon D7000, and boy do I love it. It’s a great camera with some pretty powerful capabilities. I’ll pre-warn you and say that the pictures that follow do not in any way, shape or form show off how fabulous this camera is, as I was completely…

Happy Holidays!

Anddd somehow it is already Christmas Eve! I absolutely can’t believe it. I barely did any shopping this weekend (although, it was a great fun-filled weekend, so I can’t complain on that front) so I am in ultimate panic mode at the moment. Hopefully it all gets done in time…fingers crossed! Well, I hope everyone…

Bits & Pieces

Man oh man, this has been a crazy week! With celebrating my birthday and the holiday season in full force, I feel like it’s been a constant go, go, go (and eat, eat, eat, drink, drink, drink!). As I mentioned yesterday, there’s no slowing down over these next few days. Tonight I’m going to dinner…

Holiday Mix 2013

I cannot believe that Christmas is less than a week away! I mean, where has the time gone? It literally feels like Thanksgiving was only a couple of days ago. Somehow I’m going to have to juggle getting the rest of my shopping, wrapping and baking done in the next few days amidst what is…

Top Of The Hub

On Monday night Jake took me out to a lovely birthday dinner at the Top Of The Hub. It was beautiful and romantic, not to mention delicious. 25 roses for 25 years old! He’s the sweetest! Jake checking out the menu and wine list This Beaulieu Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon Georges de Latour was incredible! Duck Confit with…

The Big 25

Man oh man, I can’t believe it’s my 25th Birthday! For some reason, I’ve always considered 25 to be the first real year as an “adult”. I’m not really sure where I previously got that notion, because it couldn’t be further from the truth. Although I have to admit I’m somewhat more mature than I…

One Year

Somehow it has already been one year since I have been dating Jake. On one hand, the time has flown by, while on the other, I feel like I have known him for years. He has become such an integral part of my life, and I cannot imagine my world without him in it. He is…

Bits & Pieces

Hi! I hope everyone had a great weekend. This past week has been action packed and filled with lots of fun moments. Here are a few bits & pieces I’ve enjoyed over the past few days…clearly most of them revolves around food & drink. This new Starbucks thermos of mine is my newest little delight.…

Bennie Paws

I just love my little fluff ball, Bennie! He’s really been getting into the holiday spirit lately as you can see below with his Santa Claus (or Bennie Paws, as I like to call it) hat. He’s also leaving his tracks all around like a little reindeer. Love it!

Favorite Instas Lately

I absolutely love Instagram (check out mine here!) and think it’s such a fun way to share some snapshots of your life. I love the ease of use and the beautifully square cropped frames and filters that produce a nearly flawless photo every time. I love that I get to discover new products and people…

Glimpses of Paradise

Hello hello! Turks & Caicos has been absolutely fantastic so far. I’ve actually been fully unplugged until today, which has been surprisingly nice. I’ve definitely had the urge to check emails, social media and my favorite blogs, but being able to just enjoy the beautiful surroundings and the people around me has been extremely refreshing.…

Bits & Pieces

I hope everyone had a lovely week! Mine was definitely action packed, which made it fly by. I’m so super excited for tomorrow because I’m off to Turks & Caicos…ohhh yes! Jake and I are going down there for a friend’s sister’s wedding. Have I mentioned that I have yet to meet the bride or…

Working Essentials

As promised, here is the answer to the second question that Maria from Ode To Femininity asked me: What are your essentials when working?  There are a few essentials needed before I can allow myself to sit down and start working. The first thing that has to take place is organizing! I already have so many…

Success Is Not The Key To Happiness

A couple of weeks ago, Maria from Ode To Femininity approached me (via email) about featuring me on her blog. Umm, yes please! We emailed back and forth a bit and she told me she was curious to learn about my secret for success as well as what some of my work necessities are. Easy enough…or…

Scents of Self

You know that friend who walks in a room and you can tell it’s her before you even catch a glimpse of her? The one whose signature scent is so distinct it just couldn’t be anyone else? I am oh so envious of her. For years I’ve tried to find my scent. I’ve gone through…
