“what’s so great about New York is that the people who move here, and the people who stay here, don’t do it because they want to live an easy life. They do it because they want to see how big they can make their life. How big can the adventure be”
-James Nord
Happy Friday!! What a great week this was with the Met Gala, the new Royal baby, and my boyfriend Shawn Mendes in the new Calvin Klein campaign. Bravo CK, we didn’t deserve this but you delivered.

Happy Friday!! We are on the cusp of a great weekend with The Kentucky Derby, Cinco de Mayo, and The Met Gala all happening in the next few days. I am excited for all three occasions to occur and am looking forward to a fun weekend.
Mother’s Day is slowing approaching and it’s time to start thinking of what to get the woman in our lives that have always loved and nurtured us. The older we get the more we appreciate what all our parents, especially our mothers, did and currently do for us. The self sacrifice, the unbreakable love, the teachable moments, she made it look easy. We now know as some of you are parents or aunts/uncles, it’s no easy feat. I have learned a lot from my mother not only as I was growing up, but even more now as an adult. When our parents had us they were young– 20s/30s- still trying to figure it out like we are now. When I truly think about it, color me impressed. How did they do it? How does anyone do it really? I hope that someday God will bless me with children of my own, and hope to be the type of mother that mine is to me. Until that day happens I will continue to be in awe of my mother, grandmother, and sister for being the amazing role models they are. (more…)
When it comes to health and wellness I am up for trying anything, at least once. From being a vegetarian to the Keto diet, I am still trying to figure out what works best for my body. As we get older our body changes. My food lifestyle, as I like to call it, needs to continuously evolve with the changes of my body. Unfortunately I have the type of body that can easily gain weight. I’ve never been one who can eat an entire pantry of food and not gain a pound. With this I know that I have to maintain a regular schedule of exercise and to eat a healthy diet. For the past year I have been indulging more than I have been eating clean, and it has really shown in how I feel and look. I know beautiful is not a number. I still wear a size 2 and I am sure most of my weight is muscle, but two weeks ago when I went to the doctor for check up, I was shocked to see that I had gained weight since my last visit back in January. I was shocked because I was doing Intermittent Fasting for the past month and a half.
