New Yorkers are known for being three things: rich sexy cynical Okay, so two out of three ain’t bad (and FYI, I’m broke as hell). So when this huuuuuuge snowstorm was predicted, I figured it was all hype. I didn’t think it would really happen, and as such, I didn’t bother to prepare for it….

Joshua Tree National Park, California
You down with OPV, Other People’s Vacations? I hope so, because you’re about to get photo-dumped! I’ve just flown back from California and BOY are my arms tired! We stayed in a dome that was decorated like the Brady Bunch vacation hideaway – swinging 60’s baby! Like Austin Powers’ dome-away-from-dome. I love the desert. …
2015 Best Nine Instagrams
What the hell is this post, a shameless plug for my Instagram? On the one hand, yes definitely. On the other hand, I’ve felt an Instagram rant has been long overdue from me and I want to get my feelings out there and see what you think. But first, the ‘grams: 1. My top ‘gram…
Rainy Sunday Morning Update
First off, thanks for all your kind comments, tweets, and (mom) concerned texts about my cold – can’t say I’m 100% yet, but I feel like I’m sloooooowly getting better! Aside from work and doctor’s visits, I’ve been laying pretty low at home, but I had my first social venture of the New Year last…
New York City is FULL of Surprises!
I want to believe that New York City is like a wilderness: you can mark the trees, study your paths, and still be surprised to discover new things all the time. Brooklyn certainly feels that way! Yesterday, though, I discovered new areas of Manhattan that showed me there is still much to explore and be…
What Was Your First Drink?
When you were a toddler, your parents might have slipped you sips of beer, or let you taste the champagne at a wedding, but I want to know: what was your first “real” alcoholic beverage like? How old were you? Did you like it? I was a few months shy of my 21st birthday (therefore…
Staged Photos on Social Media
Dear Blogging Community, It has come to my attention that several members of our social media circle have been accused of staging photos. I, for one, am shocked. As you can see from my unstaged, unfiltered reaction photo above. That’s real life, people! Excuse me, I’m so rattled, I need to go for a walk…
What’s Your Go-To Pose?
When someone aims a camera at you, you have to ACT FAST! What do you do when the shutter’s on YOU? Peace sign? Duckface? Maybe Duck-and-run-for-cover? Put your hand in your hair and look down at the ground? Looking back at photos from my college years, it’s clear that I thought my best look was…

Inspired by so many other awesome “My Favourite Instagram Accounts To Follow” posts, I thought I’d share some Insta-love for my favourite follows! feminist_tinder is…
My Haunted House
I’ve shared some info here about my Greenpoint apartment, but did you know it’s haunted??? YES! By which I mean the previous tenants left some pretty wild stuff behind. Like the painted skull head on the glass cabinet door. Really, who does that, even? How long has it even been there? WOAH! Open what? Skulls? Okay,…
Immobile Bar
The group I camped with at Burning Man has – get ready – a mobile bar!! Yeah, it’s a small bar, on wheels, that can roll up to parties and supplement the existing bar with more drinks. Don’t you know that Burning Man is basically a week-long 24/7 open bar party? Oh boy do I…
How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Dust Storms
Dust storms at Burning Man. Apparently, this year was rife with ’em. Pesky, unscheduled, seemingly never-ending dust storms. Don’t we look thrilled. I alluded to some dust storms in the previous posts COCONUT + RUM + POLAROID and Tutu Tuesday, but those were minor, rapidly dissipating storms. No, the one I’m about to tell you…
