Hope everyone is staying safe during this quarantine! Back in March, I shared ideas of being creative when you're stuck at home, and it's become one of my most popular blog posts to date! I wanted to share more ideas of what I am doing to stay busy and keep me creative. I hope these ideas help you stay inspired, creative and have fun!

Learn how to Tie-Dye with Fruit/Veggies

This is something I have been TRYING to figure out, but...

Who else hates being stuck at home?? I know I do. 

Since going into isolation to stay safe from the medical harm of COVID-19, it has been difficult to write on my blog. There are bigger problems in the world to be aware of than me sharing a trend I am currently loving! Instagram has not felt like the right place to post either because all my archived photos misrepresent what my life looks like right now. Many bloggers have expr...

The most beautiful (but cold) time of the year in New York City is back again! As always, from Thanksgiving to New Years, the shops in NYC look beautiful in bright twinkle lights, and holiday decor to grab you into their stores. After living in New York City for a few years, I have rounded up my favorite spots to take friends & family in NYC while on a budget (most of the spots are free).

Bank of America Winter Village at Bryan...

To start off this blog post, I would like to note that I have never done a poor review before on a NYC retail experience. The purpose of experiences with a product in a retail store it to make customers feel connected and interact with a brand. The experiences tend to be "over the top" and make for the best memories that make you crave wanting more. 

And today, I officially have my first less than par retail experience. I...

To skip the heat wave this weekend, my friend Rachael and I went to Atelier Beauté Chanel. We wanted a unique store experience around beauty, and the next best thing since St. Ives Popup Mixing Bar. After researching for new store experiences, I was excited to find and book a reservation for the skincare + makeup lesson from Chanel's newest beauty concept store in Soho.

Atelier Beauté Chanel is a beauty boutique offer...

Sailing, New York City to the Caribbean...

Ok, so I'm not actually taking a sailboat from New York City to the Caribbean, but my sailing adventure does start in the NYC waters.

In a couple weeks, my family, boyfriend and I will be going down to the Caribbean to sail in the British Virgin Islands! We will be living on a 48 FT sailboat together and sail to different islands, find amazing snorkel spots and experience the most gor...

Rooftop spas in Manhattan??? Yes, please.

I never thought I would say I went to a spa and had a ~wild~ time...but here I am saying it after a wonderful half day at Premier57. Premier57 is very different than other NYC spas I have visited. I am so excited I found a spa that is perfect to enjoy with a group of friends, has amazing amenities and a fun vibe. If you are someone who wants a quieter experience, then I would suggest vi...

As many of my readers know, I love to try out new experiences. If I am able to share the experience with my boyfriend and close friends, that makes it even more memorable. One of my friends, Molly, reached out to me with a experience she wanted to try out.....ballroom dancing. The last time I participated in ballroom dancing was in 6th grade, and I was too young to remember a lot of the moves. So, we convinced our boyfriends t...

I was doing research online to find a trendy nail salon with a unique experience, and landed across Glosslab. Not only is it the perfect spot for millennials, but also offers monthly memberships on nail services. Unlimited services for manicures and pedicures (gel & regular), polish changes and touch ups all for $89 per month.

I went to go try it out for myself and LOVED the experience! At each manicure and pedicure station, th...

Leaves are changing, vests are being brought out of storage and the air is getting colder. No matter the weather in New York City, one of my favorite ways to spend a Saturday is Afternoon Tea. Growing up, I went to a few tea parties in elementary school (shout out Mrs. Baer and Mrs. Kerner), and it was so fun dressing up and trying small, bite-sized treats! Once I graduated college and moved to NYC, I really learned to appreci...
