The other day a colleague mentioned that his very successful athlete daughter has a hard time in one area. Namely, she often has a target on her back. I winced. I wiggled my nose. I whispered a non-helpful answer. Then, I laughed and noted that is sadly not […]
I have a dress in my closet that was a ginormous bargain. It bought it in a trendy district and was elated upon finding it. For it was perfect. It embodied a point in time. It embodied a commitment to an idea. It fit me smoothly despite it […]
I am a die-hard New Yorker. What does that mean? It means I love bagels. I love thin pizza. I love jumping in summertime puddles. I love walking. I get super invested in speedwalking. Now, not everyplace is like that. When I lived in California I tried to […]
For a period of about five years or so, I subjected my hair to Japanese straightening. Lots of chemicals to make my super curly hair straight for about four months at a time. I loved it. Rrally loved it. But I got tired of all the chemicals. I […]

I like movies. Actually, I have always loved movies. Popular culture helped me growing up. I won’t go into it, but trust me television, music, and film can have an impact on a girl’s life. Till this day, despite it’s length and controversies, I love watching the Oscars. […]
After three years in California, I got used to not paying attention to weather. I would wake up, work out, and walk out. I didn’t check the weather. It didn’t matter. I never wore socks except for exercising. I wore heels 99% of the time. Now, we fast […]
