Day-cation
February is such a “blah” month. The holiday-a-month excitement is now firmly behind us, while weeks and maybe even months of chilly grey skies yawn ahead on the horizon. Firmly feeling the “blah”s, I took it into my initiative to take a mini “vacation” last Thursday! Most important in a vacation is that one doesn’t…

Not Okay, Cupid. Not Okay.
Seeing as how it is Valentine’s Day, most of you are enjoying romantic dates with your cherished significant others. I, being insignificant, am single. And as such, I thought I would take this opportunity to regale you with some horror stories from the single side of life. Source: underware.nl via Magda on Pinterest I am…

Loving: The “warmer” weather! I only wore ONE pair of leggings under my pants today. And three shirts. But it smelled like spring! Music: Portishead Portishead Portishead. And this: Reading: Warm Bodies by Isaac Marion Wanting: Everything at Bath & Body Works in the Aromatherapy Orange Ginger collection. I got this scrub and am so…

I WILL Grow Up…And So Should You
Wait. Hold up. When I was a kid, I couldn’t wait to grow up. No more bedtimes, no more bullies, no more bullshit. And then I grew up. And guess what. No more bedtimes, no more bullies, no more bullshit. Being an adult is vastly superior to being a kid. Granted, please take this with…

Thanks for the Consideration, MTA
Apparently, according to the MTA, the biggest problem facing New Yorkers is NOT the rising costs, the decrease in service, the unpredictability of the trains, higher cost and less service. It’s people getting hit by trains. People. Getting hit. By trains. Something that usually only happens of one’s own volition, or due to complete human…

Valentine’s Day is Coming Up and That Means…
…Oh don’t look at me so coyly. Even the weekly Target ad had a two-page spread of lingerie. Roses, candles, chocolates…and on top of that, it’s cold outside. Need to generate heat somehow and hey, here’s an idea, turn up this playlist to block out the neighbor’s repetitive playing of the same song they’ve been…

For the Love of Eyeliner
…and I usually wear even more than this on a daily basis. So, clearly, I love eyeliner. And lately, perhaps too much! I’ve been double-lining my eyes – two colours at once! Sure, the compliments I get are nice, and I would never reveal that secret for profit (or would I?) and each of my…

My First Kiss
Since it’s February, blah blah blah Valentine’s Day, blah blah blah getting mushy all over the blogiverse, I thought it was only appropriate to share this memory during this month The year is 2002. I am a flat-chested, acne-ridden, brace-faced senior in high school. So basically, not much has changed in 11 years, except…

A Peek At… The Corner Bistro

It’s referenced on the TV show How I Met Your Mother, in the episode “The Best Burger in New York” as the suggested place to find the best burger. Is it? Decide for yourself!

For the Love of Chocolate
The love of chocolate is not uncommon, but I think I get extra points for taking it to an extreme level. Love of chocolate practically got me my job, after all! And my passion is alive and well and taking over my cupboards. I can’t tell you enough how much I freaking love chocolate. Can…

Unofficial New Year’s Resolutions
Late to the party? I don’t like making New Year’s Resolutions because they’re so hard to keep! And I especially don’t like telling people about them because then I’m held accountable. Still, I have had a few New Year’s Resolutions in the back of my mind for the past month and thought to share them. …

For the Love of Daleks
February is the month of love. What better way to spread love than to showcase some of the things I love? And what better “thing I love” to start with than something that has no emotion… DALEKS. In case you can’t tell, I love me some Daleks. What? Why? I love their tinny, screeching voices. …

A Room with a View to a-Kill For
Some people dream of living by the sea. Looking out their window onto the shore, watching the tide roll in. Others prefer the mountains, looking out their window to see peaks and forests and woodland creatures. Me? This is my view: And while it’s nice to see those beaches and those trees every once in…

Very Superstitious
My ghost-tourists often ask me, “Do you believe in ghosts?” I don’t like to answer because I encourage them to keep an open mind but I will admit to being fairly superstitious. Is it even possible to be superstitious and an atheist at the same time? Please keep an open mind for me. MONEY …

A Peek At… Target in East Harlem
Target here in New York City is not like Target in the rest of the country. Suburban Target is well-stocked, classy, and clean. From past experiences in Queens, Brooklyn, and the Bronx, I can tell you that this is not the case here. Then I heard a rumour about a Target in East Harlem that…

A Peek At… Tom’s Restaurant
“What’s the deal with Tom’s Restaurant?” I’ll tell you. First of all, you may recognize the outside of Tom’s Restaurant as being the exterior shot used for the diner oft-visited by Jerry, Kramer, Elaine, and George in a little TV show they call Seinfeld. Secondly, this little Morningside Heights gem was immortalized in song by…

Pin Win: T-Shirt Drawer Overhaul
It is known that I have not had the best relationship with Pinterest “life hacks.” You know, those tips that look oh-so-easy on Pinterest and work for soooo many Pinners and have cute graphics and fonts and an adorable hipster chick with winged eyeliner and a topknot smiling through the photo tutorial? Those are mostly…

True Life: I’m Becoming a Narwhal
Let’s play an awesome game. It’s called, What Is Eating Me Alive??? Is it: 1. A spider 2. Mosquitos 3. Fleas 4. Mysterious blood-sucking fruit flies? Or is it possible that I’m merely sprouting a magical horn from my forehead that, when ground into a poultice, will cure diseases? And the questions just keep coming.…
