Good morning from the Big Apple!!! I must say, New York City is such an amazing city. I really love spending time here. I’m not sure I could live here permanently, but it’s definitely great to visit. My Sunday started with a 6-mile run through Central Park with Jess, Roni, Kath, and Caronae. I love running [...]

Hooray for blog buddies!!! Left to right: Kath’s sister, Larbs, Kath, Sabrina, Becca, Camille, Emily, and me with Jess and Ashley in the front. Our group dined out at Eatery NYC last night. It was quite a cool place. Before we ordered dinner, we munched on some Sesame Rice crisps. I ate a bunch. For my entree, I ordered the Grilled [...]

I feel like a million bucks after drinking some freshly squeezed juice! Who knew it would have that effect!? This afternoon, my blog buddy, Ashley, treated me to an apple-carrot-kale juice, which instantly revitalized me and took away my cranky-pants. Now, I feel like a new woman! After the final BlogHer session of the day, [...]

A Funfetti cupcake is part of a well-balanced breakfast, right? Ok, maybe not. But, it sure tasted delicious! Funfetti + cream cheese frosting is awesome! This morning, I had the pleasure of attending a special event sponsored by Unilever at the ultra-chic Royalton Hotel in midtown Manhattan. Here’s the invite that I received: Before a busy [...]

What a night! A BIG thank you to Kendall-Jackson and the wine family for a fabulous “Wine in the City” night out on the town. I definitely felt special tonight! Hello, stretch limo! The Wine in the City event started with a laid-back, yet sophisticated cocktail party at the Hilton Manhattan East. At the cocktail [...]

BlogHer is fun. It’s totally overwhelming (and nuts), but fun. Clearly. Before lunch, Kath, Sabrina and I attended fabulous swank-tastic event at the Warwick Hotel called Getting Gorgeous. It was quite the glamourous event with lots of upscale products to sample and try out, including jewelry, clothing, accessories, make-up, fun gadgets… pretty much anything a diva [...]

Newbie BlogHer advice: prepared to be overwhelmed!! BlogHer is quite overwhelming– a lot more so than I thought it would be. There’s so much to see and do, unlimited networking possibilities, and bloggers, brands, and sponsors everywhere. Holy moly! The day started with a buffet breakfast. The breakfast buffet didn’t have a ton of healthy [...]

Well, I definitely partied hardy tonight. Somehow, I managed to fit three different get-togethers into my evening. It was party hopping to the max! My night started at the OpenSky cocktail party. It was really neat to see the new OpenSky office space, especially since I only saw their old one back in October. The new [...]

This afternoon, I had the pleasure of attending a blogger event hosted by Hanes. The theme was “get comfortable,” which, of course, referred to their clothing line, but it also meant a bit of pampering for us bloggers! We were invited to “relax, reconnect, and rejuvenate” with spa-like hand massages, which were, oh, so perfect [...]

When it comes to food, Murphy is a genius. He obeys my every command. Come on, Mom! Say ‘okay’ already!! As soon as I say ‘okay,’ Murphy “pug rockets” right to the treat and eats it up, but not a second sooner. He’s very well behaved around food. Maybe I could learn something from him? [...]
