Hey, Instagrammers! Has anyone else been really enjoying those “this or that”/ “get to know me” templates floating around insta-story lately? They remind me of a combination of those old Cosmo magazine quizzes and the chain email questionnaires we all used to forward to our friends in the good old days of AOL. Such a fun way to get to know each other, don’t you think?I’ve gotten a few questions about where to get these templates, so I’ve taken the liberty of sharing a few of my favorite graphic designers/bloggers who have templates you…
BOSTON BLOGGERS CELEBRATE WOMEN’S HISTORY MONTH
Did you know the month of March is earmarked as Women’s History Month? A whole month dedicated to women is obviously a giant “Heck, yes!” for me. Now, I realize that at this point there’s a national day or month for pretty much everything (not joking- National Grilled Cheese Day was a few weeks ago. How is that even a thing?!), but this is one national “something or other” I was not going to let pass by. So, in keeping with the spirit of all things Wear You Are Now #ladytribe, I organized a group shoot with some…
THIS WAY TO WELLNESS
The W.E.L.L. Summit is around the corner (literally- it’s this weekend!) and I for one, am ready to get my “om” on. Held at the Boston Design Center on Saturday, April 21, W.E.L.L. Summit (Wellness.

WHAT DIANE KEATON (and my friends) TAUGHT ME ABOUT BEAUTY
The first time I fell in love with Diane Keaton was the first time I saw The Godfather. The second time I fell in love with Diane Keaton was when I saw Annie Hall. My obsession with her turtlenecks and open crisp white button downs arrived when she appeared in Something’s Gotta Give (and subsequently sent my mother and I on a permanent hunt for the perfect “Diane Keaton” shirt). And my appreciation for her quirkiness arrived when she starred in Because I Said So. This woman, who undoubtedly tops my favorite actress list, has been inspiring me one…
NOT BUYING IT: MY MONTH WITHOUT SHOPPING
WHAT I KNOWI once read that to be a good writer, you should write what you know. This is what I know: I gave up shopping for the month of February.I’m 31 years old and as much as I try to be self-aware of my own spending habits, I can’t live without gourmet coffee and new jeans. Sometimes when I’m running late, I’m too lazy to take the subway and I call an Uber. I never leave Target without buying a bag of things that can only be described as a “boredom mood…
PITCHES NIGHT IN
This post is sponsored by Universal Pictures Home Entertainment. All opinions are my own. Hey, Pitches! The Bellas are back for one last call in Pitch Perfect 3 – the next chapter in the beloved series that has taken in more than $400 million at the global box office, most of which was probably contributed by me. Seriously, guys. I love these movies! Available now on iTunes, I’m rallying my best gals for a movie night to celebrate. You Bella-believe it, we’re talking more music, a gag reel (I’m looking at you, Fat Amy!), and extended scenes…
5 WAYS YOU CAN CREATE CHANGE AGAINST GUN VIOLENCE
In the aftermath of last week’s shooting at Marjory Stoneman Parkland Douglas High School, I’ve found myself searching for something- answers, next steps, or a call to action. Something that I can do. Something that we all can do.I have said it before, and I will say it again. I am, by no means, equipped to speak on the record about this topic and am fully aware that no one is following me for my political opinions. But in the wake of one of the deadliest school shootings in history, and as the U.S. regrettably solidifies…
