If you have been following me for a while then you would know that Friends is my favorite TV show of all time. If you know me personally then you would know that I watch Friends every single day. Whether I am getting ready in the morning, eating a meal, or about to go to bed, I will turn on an episode of Friends. I may need to be on watch as Netflix gets rid of Friends in 2020…. I can’t think about the horror of it all right now. Anyway, Friends has been more than just a TV show for me, it has gotten me through the toughest and saddest of times. Days when the only thing that brought me joy was watching the beloved characters. But it has been there for me too through the happiest of days. When I am in the best of moods Rachel, Ross, Joey, Monica, Phoebe, and Chandler only elevated my happiness. Monica and Chandler will always be my favorite TV couple, Chandler will always be the perfectly-hilarious guy, Jack Geller will always be my favorite guest/supporting character, and Rachel will always be my style icon. Even though I have watched the entire series countless of times I still laugh, cry, and get angry at the same parts; it never gets old. I can’t believe Friends is celebrating 25 years. It makes me feel old but also grateful to have lived during the days when it originally aired. I loved it then and I love it even more now.

Happy Friday! This week was a rollercoaster of emotions with a side of hives. Yes I broke out in hives.. again. I was so stressed out last weekend that on Sunday I woke up with hives all over my chest and a few on my face… awesome. By Monday I hit a breaking point and started to sob. A few things in my life are just not working out anymore and I have to part ways. So I took Monday to sit in front of the TV and watch Gilmore Girls to cheer myself up. Perks of working from home, I took a day off. The weekend was not as great as the weekend before and I can NOT believe I did not talk about this during last Friday’s Simply Smitten Series. Well I can officially die now as I have peaked in NYC– I saw Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick. I was reading in St. Vincent Triangle on 7th for most of the afternoon. Upon leaving I was crossing the street on 7th and a couple was coming towards me. At first I thought- oh that lady looks like SJP. Then I saw Matthew Broderick and internally started to freak out that I almost ran right into them. They suddenly just stopped in the middle of the crossing and without thinking I tried to go in between them then at the last second went around them. They had just come out of Elm Wellness, which was ironically exactly where I was going. Does this mean we are BFF’s now? I think so!!!!

Happy Friday!! NYFW is officially over and now it’s time to relax… well sorta. After a typical semi-quiet summer my schedule is back to being a busy-body. Brands are hosting fall events, holiday content collaborations are in the works, and meetings are being scheduled. I have a lot of fun things on the horizon that I can not wait for, but first I must recover from fashion week.

Happy Friday!! I am currently enjoying day 3 of New York Fashion Week. I have to admit it was a good thing I was sick last weekend, giving me plenty of serene time before the chaos of this month. Even after fashion week ends I have events, meetings, and projects galore. Happy about it though- was getting a little discourage from the lack of things in the summer. Anyway, NYFW has been off to a great start and I am excited for what is to come!
