Dazzling Firecracker
Whenever I feel self-doubt, sadness, or worthlessness, I remember my one-and-only theatre review from a performance of The Master Builder from two years ago. the famous final lines of The Master Builder, which I’d always dreamed of uttering Playing Hilda Wangel had been a dream of mine for a decade. Getting the part, speaking the…

My Happy Place
What does it even mean, “happy place”? People will tell you when you’re upset, angry, or stressed, to “go to your happy place.” Today, I realized that my “happy place” has been right in front of me all along. Broadway from 72nd to 116th Streets. It’s about an hour-long walk, and who are you to…

Dreams Come True
I know you’re thinking, “How old is she, 12?” Nope, 21. Moving on. This is my favourite photo of myself not just because it’s one of the only photos I feel I look honestly pretty in, or because I believe I am genuinely happy, or because being genuinely happy in the photo makes me honestly…

Call It A Talent
Today’s Blog Every Day prompt is to sell yourself in 10 words or less. I did it in 9. I know I’ve said it before, but it bears repeating:

I See Dead People (Maybe)
I spent most of a rainy morning practicing my newest ghost tour route down in Lower Manhattan. The rain really made the experience, I gotta tell ya. Nothing like getting your route map and notes soggy while you bump through streets crowded with tourists! But, I wouldn’t do anything differently. I already can’t wait to…

Spring Fever
It’s been a crazy week, folks. It seems like warm weather and sunshine is bringing out the crazeballs in everyone. My workweek was long but not uneventful: Late night Dylan’s Candy Bar run! instagram.com/p/YZG8QEOS7b/ — Kim Kardashian (@KimKardashian) April 22, 2013 And I am currently listening to a full-scale fiesta happening above me, at one…

I Stand with Planned Parenthood
(which is to say, I mostly sat at Planned Parenthood.) As an adult woman of nearly 29 years of age, it somehow escaped me that I should see a gynecologist. I mean, I’ve seen The Vagina Monologues – TWICE! – but I’ve never had a professional look at mine? Okay, that joke was a stretch. …

My Nest Is Best
Source: wendo.it via Alessandro on Pinterest Do you remember this book? When I was a kid, my mom read this book to me and there was a special melody to the song. One day, I caught myself thinking of my home as my “nest.” My nest is best! It has so much character. It’s always…

A Peek At… Mura
Controversial statement in 3… 2… 1… Mura makes Brooklyn worthwhile. Sushi is a funny animal. Sushi lovers know that if you have some “off” sushi, it will put you off sushi for a long time. After you’re ready to come out of sushi hiding, go to Mura. There has never been an occassion where the…

A Star Is Born – or The Thing I’ll Keep Forever
One of the topics that came up in therapy for me was my fear of making decisions. It’s easier to back down to a safe place and go with the flow than it is to strike out and take a chance, if that chance holds unknown circumstances. The story of my little star is that…

Spring Things!
1. What is your favorite thing about spring? Warm weather means more adventures! I can’t wait to revisit some of my old favourites like Park Slope and the Upper West Side, and try new places too! 2. What is your favorite kind of flower to grow or receive? I don’t think I’ll ever get tired…

Think Pink
I have already come out of the My Little Pony closet, but today I reach a little further in to bring out something a bit embarassing – the love I have for Pinkie Pie. Look at them crazy eyes. That there’s True Love. If you’re familiar with the show, you’ll understand when I say that…

My Little Confession
I’m just going to come right out and say it: I love My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic! Some of you already know of this phenomenon. I myself once scoffed. It’s been a while since I’ve watched any cartoons that weren’t as trippy and terrifying as Akira. But anything is worth a try, right? And…

Seen Around the City
A beautiful example of constructive graffiti. A sweet plea for companionship And the reason why GrubHub will always have my business(besides being cheap, easy, and efficient).

For the Love of Walking
Ask me what I do and I will tell you I am a tour guide, and I love working at a candy store, and I keep up a blog. Ask me about my hobbies and I’ll tell you: I walk. Walking is not just a means of getting somewhere to me. It’s constant action. Meditation. …

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…

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…
