Just Vote: Today’s Midterm Elections
It’s November 6th, a Tuesday, and a VERY important day for Americans. It’s midterm elections! Every vote matters, and today marks two years since Trump was elected president.

This past weekend I went to see Carl Cox, Pan-Pot, Darren Emerson and a few other deep house / techno DJs on Governor’s Island, and had a BLAST! We took a ferry over there at 5:30pm to see the performance this past Sunday. It was really fun and even though I usually prefer concerts on…

Jazz Up an Outfit with Embroidered Florals
Yesterday was my good friend Ali’s birthday and about 5 of our good girlfriends went out to celebrate at the new Jean-Georges restaurant abcV. It is a plant based, non gmo, sustainable and organic restaurant serving all vegetarian and vegan dishes that are very fresh and very delicious. I actually reviewed abcV in another post…

How to Stay Cool in the City this Summer
There are so many people trying to get out of the city (and for good reason) during the hot summer. The overbearingly tall buildings attract heat making it stick between roads and sidewalks so you feel like you’re trapped in a sauna and unable to escape to find the cool breeze. No need to fear…
