I AM A…

What do you want to be when you grow up? Throughout our lives, we’re asked this question time and time again. When we’re little, our answers tend to be born out of our wildest imaginations. A baseball player, an astronaut, or a princess…

HINDSIGHT IN 2020

Hello, old friends. It’s a new year; it’s a new decade; and there’s oh so much I want to tell you. I kicked off 2019 declaring my word of the year- a word to use as a guiding factor in my personal…

YAY OR NAY? CLOTHING SUBSCRIPTION SERVICES

It finally happened. I gave this whole “clothing rental” thing a try. Other than a one-item/one-time foray into Rent-the-Runway, this was my first real go at it. I know, I know- I might be the last one to arrive at…

10 THINGS TO ASK YOUR DAD THIS FATHER’S DAY

It wasn’t until I moved 1,000 miles away from my family that I truly appreciated my parents. Hear me out here. I’ve always been incredibly grateful for the love, support and most importantly the sacrifices that both my Mom and Dad have made that have allowed me to build a life I believe in. None of what I am, or what I’ve accomplished thus far would have been possible without them. None of it. My gratitude and my thankfulness are real. And have always been there. But my appreciation and unwavering awareness of the importance of…

DINNER WITH DINING PLAYBOOK

Last week, I had the pleasure of joining Emmy Award-winning Billy Costa and Jenny Johnson of New England Sports Network’s Dining Playbook, for dinner at Craft Table & Bar in East Boston. Dining Playbook is a weekly show that highlights the best restaurants in and around Boston, focusing on where to go, what to eat, what to drink and where Boston’s celebrity athletes hang out. So it came as no surprise that the restaurant of choice for the night’s festivities seriously stepped up to the plate.With patio season in full effect, we spent our night…

WELL (JUMP) SUITED

Let’s talk about one piece dressing for a minute- aka my lazy gal’s guide to effortless dressing. I LOVE jumpsuits. Like LOVE. There’s nothing better than having an entire outfit accounted for with one item. It’s a dream when you’re in a rush to get out the door or packing for a trip with minimal suitcase room (both instances of which I spend majority of my life in these days).But as with most good things, this is one love affair that had a bit of a rocky start. To put it plainly, I used…

WHAT I’M READING: WAKE UP TO THE JOY OF YOU

Last month when I attended W.E.L.L. Summit Boston (more on that here), I had the pleasure of meeting Agapi Stassinopoulos, best-selling author and motivational speaker who inspires audiences around the world. Having now sat through one of her keynote addresses, I can officially bear witness to this truth. Agapi’s energy is warm and captivating and motivating and emotional. Her words burrow directly into the depths of your soul like a ray of sunshine melting any remnant of a bad mood or thought that’s ever crossed your mind. She tells it like it is while…

SPRING TEES

If you follow me on Instagram, than I’d like to apologize for becoming one of those really annoying people that can’t stop taking pictures of every single blooming tree, flower bed, and plant I pass by. Call me #BASIC, but Boston is one hell of a good looking city, especially in the Springtime, especially when this winter kicked my ass the way it did, and especially when I spent the last two weeks in bed with a sinus infection. At this point, I pretty much just want to call a timeout on life and roll around on the…

JUST SAY NO

I was in a Dunkin’ Donuts drive-thru the other day, waiting for my medium cold brew coffee with a light splash of cream, when I had an epiphany. And it involved the “N” word.Cards on the table- this is not the “N” word you’re probably thinking of. This epiphany involved a simple word. One that many of us learn to say in the first year of our lives. Two little letters that have a profound effect on the nature of our days, on how we express our wants and needs, and on how we react to situations…
